ROFL, just saw the end of Impact with the promo for 3-3-11, CLEARLY supposed to be a rip off of the 2-21 promo. Like, there's no second thoughts about that.
While there's no problem with TNA putting the title on Sting and even pushing him, I completely agree with LC. This is a "LOL HEY VINCE LOOK WHAT WE GOT!!!!!111!1!!" moment. When WWE wasn't even going in that direction! THAT'S why TNA is pathetic. Again they unintentionally push WWE. I'm sure they think it was so clever to do that promo, when in reality it's stupid as fucking hell. They're also, again, as LC said, marketing to the internet crowd, which isn't who they should be marketing for because THEY ALREADY HAVE THEM! And if they don't, if they're someone like me, I'll tune in when I hear they do something good. When I hear and see this all I think is "why are you doing this?" They need to A. Market to the casual and potential fans who don't follow the internet and B. Stop living in the shadow of WWE so blatantly. |

I don't have a problem with what TNA has done with this 3.3.11 promo, and if it was the other way around, and we all need to admit Vince would do the same if that was the case, everyone would be saying how hilarious it was for him taking the piss out of TNA. Good on them for having a win occasionally I say. Am I a TNA fan? No. Will I watch the show? No. But I just feel that no matter what they do, TPWW will always feel the need to hate on them. Cause we're too cool for the company. |

And why would Vince do something TNA did? If he was in TNA's position (distant number two) of course he would, and it would be pathetic. But I honestly don't think WWE would actively go out of their way to copy a TNA promo so blatantly. And if they did? Honestly, I don't know how I'd feel about it. Probably would laugh it off. But again, I could NEVER, as the distant number 1 promotion, see WWE do something as blatant as this. I give TNA credit where it's due, and this promo is NOT one of those times. Will it ruin TNA? No. But to me it makes them come off as second rate, and that's not a good thing. They should have left things as is and just had Sting appear on the broadcast with no build. It would have had more impact. |

Usually, when trying to push a product, you do everything different than your competition, and furthermore, you try to distance yourself from them as much as you can, therefore, you do NOTHING that will remind the customers of the competition...
...yeah... ...TNA does everything the other way around. In trying to beat the WWE, they rip-off the WWE, and in doing so, remind the fans of the WWE. |

The 3-3-11 thing is a prime example of why I can't stand TNA most of the time.

If while claiming to be "the alternative", you act the same way as the others, then you're not really an alternative.

WWE might actually have grounds to sue over that, honestly. It's definitely not under "parody". It's blatant rip-off, and they never showed who it was. Could say they're misleading fans into thinking it's The Undertaker.
I don't think WWE will do anything, because all it'll do is bring attention to TNA, but I think they have the grounds. |

I think that if TNA went live and were able to actually surprise its audience, it may make a bigger impact. I mean what the hell is the point in teasing a 3/3/11 return when we already know who it is....

Like they don't have enough stuff to sue over, ie Robbie E/Zack Ryder, most of the ECW stuff last yr, doing storylines where their stars get accused of going back to WWE (Christian & Angle) etc.

you're kidding me right? Vince hasn't ackowledged TNA one time since the company went into business. How do you even make a comment like that? Vince is about to make bank in a month, so I really don't think he'd be salivaitng over how to make TNA eat it
And how is this a "win" for TNA? It's that thinking that has caused TNA to be in the same fucking place for years. What does TNA gain out of getting Sitng back? What a half a point for a couple of Impact's? Give me a break. |

I mean, TNA actually ran an angle where someone dressed up as Vince and mocked him and Vince didn't retaliate. he doesn't care. Last edited by Loose Cannon; 02-26-2011 at 11:05 AM. |

Now stop being a cunt, I'm not trying to say TNA is the holy fucking grail, but I think people are taking too much out of this promo. Whether 90% of people seeing it get it or not, who knows? I think the casual fan is still a bit smarter than what we give them credit for these days anyway. IMO It was an obvious piss take, I myself found it funny and have no problem with it. If you do fine, I'm not trying to get you to agree with me, so stop trying to make me agree with you. |

That's Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo right there. Always trying to make an ass out of Vince McMahon and the WWE, and they are the ones who always end up looking bad.

Yeah ok so maybe I'm going off rumors, but I'm pretty sure it was confirmed a while ago that they were reaching out for him. And while WWE may not have openly acknowledged TNA on TV like TNA has them, they have in other ways.
My point was purely that there is too much TNA hate here. And this angle isnt that bad, and going off and calling them pathetic for it is just ridiculous. |

Yeah cheers. I don't expect anybody to agree with what I'm saying, but hey, we're all entitled to our opinions right? It just seems like you have to jump on the "Hate everything TNA does or be an outsider" bandwagon around here to be cool. I'm sorry, but this quite obvious piss take of 2.21.11 is funny to me. So sue me.

Everytime he comes back, the spoilers always say he's come back 'old school', 'with his surfer gimmick' or whatever, but all it ever is, is Sting with an extra colour added to his attire.
I'd love to see proper, 80's surfer Sting return! If he doesn't wanna cut his hair, or even dye it, that's fine, but otherwise he should wear his old attires with more different colours on his face other than black and white and occasionally a dab of red. |

This is just the monthly "lol TNA" thread, Dan.
Not that I endorse them, but there's little that can be done. |
