TNA. The WWE alternative?

**The Heat** · 01-28-2006, 06:12 PM

I've seen little or no TNA mention since my arrivial here @ TPWW boards. So, I'm wonderin' if anyone here watches;

TNA Impact is a good show, IMO. The X-Division kicks ass and they are getting main-event stars like Christian[Cage],Sting, Rhino, etc that could elevate the company to competition level with WWE. Granted, TNA can't compete until they get more stars[name stars] and start using entertainment encorporated into their current kick-ass wrestling product.

I think 2006 will be a pivotal year for TNA. More jumps from WWE will probably happen and I'm sure if Lesnar wins his current lawsuit with WWE, TNA will be a likely option for him.

The tag division also rocks with AMW, The Naturals, Team 3D[Dudleys], etc that make WWE's tag division look pale by comparision.

In conclusion, I expect TNA to soon be up there competing with WWE. They[WWE] keep doing out-there kind of TV and most wrestling fans are tired of their product. The only pitfall I see is Jeff Jarrett himself. He's rapidly becoming the HHH of TNA and has held the NWA World Title way too often. If Jarrett can learn to stay awhile from the belt and let others[such as Christian] carry the company, TNA will be a threat to WWE.

I'm by no means against WWE or anything. It's just that WWE has been stale since losing competition from WCW & ECW. Once TNA becomes competition[who knows when it'll be], I'm interested to see if the WWE product improves and by how much[compared to the current WWE product].

Thoughts?

Just because nobody mentions it doesn't mean nobody watches it.

Oh, and I do watch it. Good product and has a great future...if the WWE doesn't fuck it up first.

**Loose Cannon** · 01-28-2006, 06:15 PM

when did you arrive to the TPWW Boards, 7 minutes ago?

**Blitz** · 01-28-2006, 06:16 PM

Yes, there are fans. A simple search of the forum would have told you that.

**Skippord** · 01-28-2006, 06:17 PM

Or if you look at one of my avatars

**The Naitch** · 01-28-2006, 06:19 PM

if they can push Christian as TNA's version of The Rock then maybe they'll have a chance

True. Just because it hasn't been mentioned, that doesn't mean people don't. However, I was simply pointing out that most topics here are WWE oriented. I've seen little TNA mention[so far] and was wondering if people here were mostly WWE marks.

True, I'm a new member. That has no relevance to the topic though, cannon. Look @ the last 2 or 3 pages of the "wrestling forum". It's all WWE-related. I was simply pointing out the obvious. It wasn't meant in a disrespectful way though, so, don't get all hyper-active about it

**McLegend** · 01-28-2006, 06:31 PM

He is right though TNA isn't talked about as much here as it is on other boards. Not saying there isn't anything wrong with that, but it is true.

**Fox** · 01-28-2006, 06:47 PM

Sorry, but most of the time TNA is mentioned around here you'll have about twenty hardcore WWE fans on your ass about how shitty it is. It's kind of been phased out.

I do agree, TNA is great and I enjoy watching their product more than the WWE's.

**Funky Fly** · 01-28-2006, 06:55 PM

The spoilers are usually posted, and names get mentioned from time to time, but there's not really much to say otherwise unless there's some news.

**The Naitch** · 01-28-2006, 06:59 PM

TNA sucks

**Skippord** · 01-28-2006, 07:00 PM

Maybe you suck The Naitch

**The Naitch** · 01-28-2006, 07:01 PM

lol ok

**The Naitch** · 01-28-2006, 07:03 PM

but yeah, back to the topic at hand: TNA fucking sucks

**Funky Fly** · 01-28-2006, 07:07 PM

undeleted

**Skippord** · 01-28-2006, 07:10 PM

Maybe shannon moore is the one who sucks

**Funky Fly** · 01-28-2006, 07:14 PM

He certainly looks like he enjoys the cock with that make up in your avatar.

**Skippord** · 01-28-2006, 07:20 PM

Should I change it to Sting,Chris Sabin,or Christian Cage

**Funky Fly** · 01-28-2006, 07:22 PM

Just as long as they aren't looking at me with bedroom eyes.

**The Naitch** · 01-28-2006, 07:25 PM

Funky

but yeah, Prince of Spunk seriously needs a different gimmick. It's so terrible

**Skippord** · 01-28-2006, 07:25 PM

I dunno Christians pictures are pretty gay looking

**Y3J** · 01-28-2006, 07:33 PM

This guy posted a beautiful thread of how TNA is good, although it took a while it finally turned into a TNA bashing thread. You guys are very disrespectful.

In case I forgot to mention it, TNA is shite.

**Y3J** · 01-28-2006, 07:35 PM

And to answer your original question:

UFC > TNA

**Funky Fly** · 01-28-2006, 07:42 PM

I'm not bashing TNA. I just don't like creepy avatars with guys who look like they want to fuck me in them.

**McLegend** · 01-28-2006, 07:43 PM

UFC is also> WWE so your point there wasn't made.

**Y3J** · 01-28-2006, 07:47 PM

Well that's your opinion, i'm still undecided on that issue. But I understand where you're coming from.

**PullMyFinger** · 01-28-2006, 07:54 PM

TNA is mentioned a lot here, but the past couple weeks there's been no TNA talk.

TNA is great...honestly, they're doing WAY WAY WAY better with storyline and Impact than they were when they first started.

Generation Next, The Prince of Punk, Sting, Christian, Samoa Joe/Fallen Angel/Styles feud, etc. are all really great.

The only problem is still Jarrett.

**The Naitch** · 01-28-2006, 08:43 PM

and TNA

**redoneja** · 01-28-2006, 09:02 PM

Or the lack of coherent storylines, good wrestling, an abundance of spotfests in the X-Division, and lackluster roster overall.

**St. Jimmy** · 01-28-2006, 09:17 PM

TNA!, the alternative to Entertainment! =/

You must think that all white guys want you huh Funk?

**Kane Knight** · 01-28-2006, 10:06 PM

It's funny, because you see one of these spring up every week. There are spoilers/results for every show, and discussion of all the major angles.

I can see why you'd think there wasn't much on TNA here.

Hey hey hey, TNA is shit MOST OF THE TIME, but on the flip side (and this is coming from someone you probably consider a hardcore WWE fan), the WWE is shit MOST OF THE TIME.

TNA has some great talent, and I've got to admit I'm a Joe mark (whenever I watch TNA, anyway), but they're still a LOOOONNNGGG way off to be considered a WWE alternative.

And on that note, Nick Mondo and spot monkeys (half the TNA roster) suck.

**Kane Knight** · 01-28-2006, 10:31 PM

You need to be a hardcore WWE fan to call TNA shit? Fuck, I missed that memo too.

Xero loves Chris Sabin

**Xero** · 01-28-2006, 10:54 PM

HAIL SABIN! HAIL SABIN!

Is what his theme says....

**The Greater Power** · 01-28-2006, 11:08 PM

This will sound stupid, but I really can't take TNA seriously until they start getting bigger crowds (which obviously means going to bigger arenas).

**mrslackalack** · 01-28-2006, 11:51 PM

I like TNA. Its also funny to watch Don West get excited over something.

West: Tenay have you ever seen A.J. Styles use a hiptoss like that!!!!!!
