One thing's for sure, if Undertaker shows up at WrestleMania sporting a glittery red cod piece, then we'll all know who's ripping off whom.

I didn't make out that anybody is an 'angry hater'. I haven't thoroughly read Tazz Dan's posts but I don't think he has either. It would fit your 'argument' a lot better if that had been the case though.

It's more of an implication of 'getting on your high horse' than anger and like I said, there isn't a 'smug cunt' smiley to cover all the bases.

I never said they were angry haters. I said there are some hateful people towards TNA here, you're just mixing two different conversations into one.

Unlike Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair, I believe Sting is more willing to help out the younger talent in TNA, like he always tried to do in WCW. I believe it's the higher-ups (i.e. Jeff Jarrett and Dixie Carter, plus input from Hogan and Eric Jerkoff) that doesn't want that to happen.

It was probably that time in the Royal Rumble thread that I said people are going to bitch about anything and everything in wrestling. That was pretty accurate.

Chris Jericho weighs in on the 3-3-11 video:
'It drives me nuts and I'll tell you the reason why. I am the biggest fan of TNA as a concept. I want them to be huge, Vince wants them to be huge because the more competition there is, it's better for the business, it's better for the boys, it's better is for the fans. I don't understand their obsession with copying the WWE I think it's lame, I think its bush league and I don't get it, they have some of the best talent, some great idea men. Why do they do this? Why do their guys go out there and say 'When I was in the WWE I was left behind and I was held back'. If I was working for TNA I would project that it's the greatest wrestling company in the world because if you're not projecting it, why is anyone going to believe it? When we were in ECW it was small, I never made more than $250 a show but you would die for that company and when you came across that way, the fans came across that way and suddenly you have this underground revolution going on and it was real, it was a revolution, people believed it was the best. No one in TNA believes they are in the best company and if they don't believe it then why am I going to believe it as a fan? Why am I going to buy their product? It's just so bush league, they can do better than that and the guys on top there should know better and it really makes me mad because they're wasting money and they don't have to be wasting money but I'm not burying TNA I'm saying you should be ashamed of yourself because you can do better.' |

I dunno man. ECW was something special. And even when they were putting on a product that was 50 times better than WWF and WCW on their best days, they still couldn't cut it.
I do get what he's saying though. Find your own identity and grow out of it. But at the same time, lots of promotions with their own identity never grow. Look at ROH. Fantastic identity. Rabid fans. But they're stuck. The only promotions with any sustained long term success were WWF and WCW, so it would make sense to imitate them. |

Yes, but not so blatantly.
Imitate them in subtle ways. |

I've always believed that Sports Entertainment is the only pro wrestling product that will sell to the mainstream today, but that doesn't mean they have to try to be something they're not, can't or shouldn't be. They can be sports entertainment without being a rip-off or even a second-rate WWE. |

Yeah, you're definitely right. I dunno what the answer is. Obviously nobody does or else they would've figured it out.

TNA's image is focused around all at once imitating/ripping off WWE while at the same time trying to throw rocks at WWE. Which is the problem. TNA really should be pretending WWE doesn't exist and just letting the stuff they are doing come naturally. Not constantly rehashing everything already done by ECW, WCW and WWE.

Kind of hard for them to ignore or pretend WWE doesn't exist when every time the WWE releases a "big" name, TNA gets that person or persons and push them as their next big star.
They did have their chance to get rid of all those bad writers in the past but in the end managed to keep Russo and most of writers. |
