Vince doesnt want to destroy TNA or other promotions. Supposedly his philosophy is help yourself but dont hurt the other guy, which I believe he means.

Didn't Vince buy out all the name drawing wrestlers from all the different territories, and basically kill them in the process?

Again, just helping himself. McMahon needs a lot of trademarks and a lot of wrestlers to not use.

There is seriously enough talent out there to start building up a legitimate alternative to the WWE and TNA.
Matt Morgan joins John Cena, Batista, Randy Orton and Chris Masters as men Jim Cornette predicted would be draws one day. Colt Cabana is one of the most entertaining men in the business. Jack Evans can pull out some amazing shit. Bryan Danielson is not yet under contract to any major promotion. Chris Kanyon may not be an icon, but he is a veteran and seems to be cooking up a storm. With Kurt Angle adding credibility to the independant scene, guys like Brock Lesnar may be tempted to return, if just for the attention and to use it as a springboard. PJ Polaco is back to the indies, Ron Killings and Monty Brown may soon join him (providing being in the same camp as Kurt Angle hasn't convinced them to stay with TNA). Chris Jericho could even get involved in WSX or something (the guy strikes me as someone MTV would like as a personality on their broadcasting). It's great that the WWE isn't the end-all these days. |

That stuff is to help himself. He learned from the Monday Night War era that you cant do ethical business and go by word with people who dont. Its important for him to secure whats his and make sure nobody makes money off whats hes built. Why not trademark things you made? You dont want someone else cashing in off it. Its not like he wants to move Smackdown back to thursdays to destroy the upcoming TNA.
I wouldnt be suprised if the TNA/WWE coexistence ended up being respectful. It would depend on what route TNA decides to go |

Except he's trademarked items not made by him or WWE.
And it still hurts other businesses, which is the opposite of your claims regarding his ethos. |

Matt Morgan and Masters are draws? In what reality? Good old JC couldn't sell out a flea market, EX TNAers aren't goign to make a huge splash.
Let's face it this is hardly a revolution or a dramatic event. |

I've learnt not to get my hopes up over a wrestling revival until Vince leaves WWE, only then will we have a chance of seeing a change I think.

I haven't fellated The Miz. He fellated me. I responded in kind by saying nice things about him. And it's painfully obvious the guy has talent.

It's so fucking stupid to cry over the WWE's quality, and then when alternatives star popping up to cry that they're not good enough. You need to give things support if they're going to get better. |

I don't think Pepsi Man's complaining about it not being good enough. In fact, if you were to judge him on what he said, instead of making up some fantasy argument, he was talking about not putting the cart before the horse, rather than shitting on this before it got started. Really, what exactly is so horrible about saying we shouldn't jump the gun, when past experience should teach us this probably won't be the holy grail people are making it out to be? And why the fuck do you have to chicken little the entire argument? |

Don't condescend me when you gave your little "fuck you, you're all sheep for not liking the guy I like" speech. Don't assume that disliking someone precludes any fair criticism. In fact, the fact that I have given Cena, Batista, etc. a fair shake should tell you the opposite. It seems very convenient that you assume that I'd give Cena a fair shake, but if I disagree with you, then I didn't give Miz one. I can't think of one reason why that would be the most logical conclusion that you could come up with. Myself, I'd think "Well, this guy's been rather even-minded in the past...Maybe he really just doesn't find any potential in him." But maybe that's just me. Hell, I'm still on Orton's side, after all this time, after all the backstage heat, after all the complaints about rest holds and stuttering. I see potential in him, and I still think he's salvagable, no matter how much smarks hate him. I appreciate Scotty Too Hotty, for fuck's sake. Perhaps the lamest character in WWE today, and I can still appreciate him. And I don't appreciate Miz. What does that tell you? Because it shouldn't tell you what you seem to be getting out of it. |

I'm too lazy to check, but I know what frame of mind I was in when I posted this thread. I was happy that a little indy fed is getting the chance to get on TV. I may have come off as a little more excited than I actually was, but I was kind of threading it to the Kurt Angle in TNA thing, and trying to paint a portrait of a more desireable independant scene. Adrenaline Unleashed have taped the show they are going to air at a specific time. The deal may fall through or some shit, but I am pretty sure it's going to air. It's not too often you see stations go "Hey, this weekend this is going to be on" and then they don't put it on. Especially when they've got nothing else going for them. Last time it was a slightly different story. They were looking to get a TV deal. The station was considering it. WSX taped a pilot to pitch at MTV. They picked it up, and things are slowly starting to move along. They may not get anywhere, but it's sounding like they will (albeit slowly). It's OK to not get your hopes up, I can understand where Pepsi Man and TL are coming from. It wouldn't surprise me if things didn't materialise. All I'm against are people calling this a failure before it even gets going. |

You're allowed to disagree with me, but the guy DOES have talent. This is going to make me sound like Vermaat, but the guy seems pretty innovative in the WWE. Innovation isn't really supported by the WWE, but at least the guy is working well within the confines management has put on talent. When he had Matt Hardy in the 619 position (sounds pretty gay), and sprung off his back, flew over the top rope and hung him up on the middle rope on the way down; I thought it was pretty awesome. The guy also countered a wristlock with a front-flip. The guy has shown athletic ability, and I'm going to give him more of a chance than a few matches with Tatanka. I don't even really like the guy, it's just everyone says all this shit about him being useless. The guy is heading in the right direction. You also thought the guy was a face, didn't you? That doesn't really convince me you've been watching him at all. |

It's not hard to see their reaction is based solely, and I mean solely, on your overreaction. You're declaring Matt Morgan and Chris Masters draws, declaring that Angle has made a legitimate indie Scene (If you can even call TNA indie), etc., etc. |
