I hate when they try to talk about things like "writing" when it comes to PRO WRESTLING ANGLES. Thats so Vince Russo, and we all see where he took WCW with that mentality.

Most people know wrestling is scripted by now, but they also dont want it thrown in their face during the body of the show. People in a TNA crowd may pop for it, but thats decieving because there are only like 500 people there, and they are all hardcore, intnernet smarks who eat that stuff up. But if TNA is to survive they need more than those people, they need to reach the casual audience.

I believe history has shown when you take that route, with all the insider stuff, people get turned off because they dont get half of what is being talked about.

The idea of bringing in all the dinosours is probably an attempt to draw in the average viewer, but what are the odds each one of these guys will put over (properly) a young TNA star that could use a rub? I figure DDP will be alright doing JOBS, but I know how Halla dn Nash operate, and I think they will end up being more bad than good for the company. But we'll see.

If they were smart they would play off the deal at Universal Studios. The fans that attend TNA events will know what happened. So there should be signs in the arena, and whatnot. I'm not sure how far they will be able to go with it on TV, because of a potential lawsuit, but they should go as close to the edge as possible. At the end of the day, if they do get sued and go out of business who really cares because that was likely to happen anyway. Maybe by going after the WWE, and talking about how the WWE are the big bad bullies who dont care about anything except money, they can build themselves up as the outlaw renegdae company much like ECW did, and even the way WWE presented themselves against Time Warner and WCW, even though that was BS.

I agree, 100%. I hope Nash & Hall don't really wrestle unless it is PPV. Keep them as the enforcers and advertise their wrestling appearances. Maybe give them the tag titles and let them defend them every three weeks or so.

LOL are you daft? Giving Hall and Nasjh the tag belts would be STUPID, expecially considering how hot the AMW/XXX feud is.

I think Nash's promo was good, I was pleasantly surprised. I expected him to hurt his wrist or something before he finished his promo. As long as he and Scott don't wrestle every show, then I will be ok.

I like where the show is heading, as TNA does know that popularity is growing and that they have the better storylines than their competitor (it also helps when you have old school wrestlers) . All the stories have advanced so quicker and unexpectedly but in a good way. Keep it up, TNA. Oh, and get ready to feel the BANG!
