Why TNA will never make it / Their lack of simple logic.

Well Siaki started to suck. When he was Rock V. 2.0, it was fun. He was actually a threat. Then he got injured, came back, did jack shit, and is quite simply a shadow of his former self. No shock there. Actually not pushing Siaki is one of the few things I give credit to TNA for. He went down hill and his push went with it.

As for the non-sense booking. You guys are totally correct. The problem is that they have these ideas, and as soon as you expect them to fallow through with them someone new walks in, the entire landscape of the promotion changes, they feel they need to hold off on pushing someone, etc. They are quite actually the world largest Indie fed. For those of you who fallow indie wrestling alot, you know that sometimes title changes happen and there is a new champ without any notice. It happens, and it's because of the revolving door with the talent. Now as to why Monty Brown isn't getting his title shot, as pointed out before that Abyss hasn't gotten his either, is that they see these guys are huge (potential) draws. They don't want to jump the gun and give them a title shot and either A) make them look week, or B) give them the title too soon. Now is it right? Hell no, and as a fan who actually fallows this, it pisses me off. I think they will continue to let Abyss and Brown win #1 Contender matches for as long as it takes before people really start to get behind them. Reeking of WCW yet? Yeah it is. And it smells like shit.

Now if Sadistic was here he might argue that, "who cares about the story lines, the matches are good." Maybe true, actually with TNA it is a lot of hit or miss (unlike WWE where all matches are usually in the 3 star range...TNA goes from 4 to 1 all night long). But this is Pro Wrestling, if you want just a shit load of good matches, stop watching the shows and just get "Best Of..." tapes and DVDs. Knock-Knock idiot! There is a reason those don't sell very well. What is the reason? Shockingly, because nobody knows why the matches are happening. It's like watching the big shoot out at the end of a movie without knowing jack-shit about the characters. Hell maybe it's visually stimulating, but you don't give a fuck about anyone. And that is where TNA's problem is...

You can't keep leading on all these people with storylines that go no where. Worse yet, you can't have Planet Jarrett rule your world. We get it. He is the number one bad guy. We will boo him. You don't need him to be involved with every god damn mother fucking storyline. WWE storylines are shit. But at least they see the shit to the end. After the angle is dropped it is never mentioned again and we "forget" it ever happened. Fans can except that. Look no further then Kane to see that. He is over, he is burned, not burned, can talk, can't talk, Undertaker step/half/full brother, he has hair, wait no it a wig, hates Edge and Matt Hardy, doesn't really mind either and goes out for drinks with them. The biggest problem is Jeff Jarrett. Now this is coming from a guy who actually enjoys Jarrett on the mic and in the ring. Not to mention he can pull in some big heat. BUT, unlike Triple H, he doesn't have a history of coming through in the end. When Triple H drops the belt, he creates a star. Batista was barley a note worth person before Triple H had him, now he is a bonified main eventer. We all know the title is going to head home to Triple H's waist eventually, but in the mean time there are stars being born from his once in again title drops. Jarrett drops the title and within a month he gets it back. He doesn't lose the title, lose a title re-match, and allow them to have a few months on top, it's like a freak accident when Jarrett lays down. And in TNA lightning never strikes twice (except for when AJ fights him, for some reason every single heavyweight lays down for Jarrett, but they can all be AJ, who is the only one who can beat Jeff).

TNA can make it's mark in history. I believe that. They don't even need to beat WWE in any measurable way to make a mark. But they won't. Since TNA's inception, it has tried to prove to the world it was a big boy. NEWS FLASH, to be a big boy you need YEARS of history OR a shit load of money. You have neither. Look no further then ECW to see that. They never booked like a big boy, they started to promote like a Big Boy, but they offered a different style of booking. You need to do the same. ECW didn't care if only 400 people saw a title change, the belt still switched hands. They didn't care if the epside were someone was announced #1 contender was viewed by less people then Heat, they still acknowledged their choices. TNA is making a mistake by assuming they don't need to fallow through with everything until they get some marks on board. Hell please the smarts (who have a history of remembering annoying little details) and once you win them over they spread the world to their mark friends. TNA can not, CAN NOT win this battle to become a Big Boy by acting like one. They need to realise that their only chance is by word of mouth, and to get people talking, you need to offer great matches, and please the fans you have. A few sMARKS will make up excuses for your lack of vision, but the real fans have no patients and no desire to bring more fans to a product that is so filled with gapping wholes. Hell that makes us look like morons.

Basically what I am trying to say is...quit fucking around, and give us a reason to give a shit about you.

First off, it's follow, not fallow. However, in TNA's case, "Fallow" does tend to apply.

Second of all, you said everything I think when I think about what brings TNA down: Jeff Jarrett, Lack of Direction, Jeff Jarrett, Lack of Character Development, Jeff Jarrett, Think too highly of itself, Jeff Jarrett, and... of course, the main reason for TNA's troubles: Jeff Jarrett
