I dunno I mean despite all the crap that Kash talked I do like his in ring style and performance.
But ummm maybe this is a good sign to see that TNA still has something left. I just wished they had a better name than Slammaversary |

They'll be out of business before the second one.

I'd rather see good competition than see bad "competition" on life support.

I know, the thought of a non-WCW-lite competition brand is laughable.
At this point, I'm hoping that TNA dies. If they can't book the talent they have, they don't deserve to suceed. |

Tell me about it. Why not run the entire business in a cage? I'm sure it would draw THEN!

TNA is not even close to Smackdown, which is really sad. There is not a single thing entertaining on that show every single week.

And with the limited access WGN has, you're daydreaming. You were still thumping the TNA/Spike rumours after they were shot down. Face it, you can't count on this, it's "stupid" to do so. |

Yea, you assumed totally wrong. Go back and look at my old posts about TNA. I was extremely high on the company. I even said it was better then WWE a few times. This was a couple of months back. Ever since they got Impact, the show has flat out sucked and been as boring as it can be.
While Smackdown may be crap at times, it has got a hell of a lot better the past 2 months and has some pretty good segments now. Why does TNA throw no names on Impact for? Half the show revolves around the main even matches that nobody seems to care about. No interesting storyline progression at all. As for WGN, we'll see. |

I'll give TNA it's due for 3 consecutive Excellent PPV's. The last one was total garbage and this one will probably top the last one in terms of it being garbage. Put that with not 1 episode of Impact being entertianing in like 4 months and it's just a bad situation.

Well said LC& KK..damn i wish i didn't join in so late, but meh..basically TNA ahs been fucked up with politics from the start, now i have enough of that shit with WWE to put up with, i don't want to have to put up with this much from TNA when hasn't even got started. That's what has put me off the product, along with lack of storylines,under using superstars already(they actually have the nerve to do that when they've barely got off the ground? It seems like the WWE were giving them tips and they fell for the joke) and no one really to care about, the one i did care about was AJ styles and he got shoved down a division. That made no fucking sense to me...apart from his style is better suited. But thats bollocks and we know it, JJ just didn't want the spotlight taken off him. TNA is JJ's playground, end of story basically.(is he still champ?I havent watched it in about ,umm, 2 months..)

TNA can't afford to play politics. They need to appeal to people, and JJ's ego may be big, but he still only counts as one. AJ is massively popular, and should be used. They should use a ton of their talent more. They couldn't even push Hardy. I don't even like Jeff. They pick up the WWE's leftovers, furthering their "we're #2" image. Worse, they have some hot fucking talent they don't use. The WWE does it, but they can get away with it. A 4.0 rating still gives them a lot of wiggle room. They get more people tuning in by accident than TNA does dedicated viewers (1). When I found out TNA was gonna have a TV deal, I was fucking excited. Now I only remember to watch Impact because FSN airs the second showing at a time that's right after Velocity. |

This sounds a lot like ECW's final months.
The fact that they have to confirm PPV's that are 2 and 3 months away still far outweighs the good in the fact that they'll happen. |

the sad thing is that the actual WRESTLING on Impact is generally pretty good.
it's just that the overwhelming direction of the company is WCW circa 1994, and that's not a good thing. |

Howabout the "pizza on a pole" match? Sadly, both men were eaten by a rabid Dusty Rhodes.

if today was a sign of the PPV then we are in for some real stupid stuff. the match opener started off with Konnan and he threw his shoe at the opponent.
He took it off and threw it. ![]() and the main event I dozed. rewound it and tried to watch it again but dozed. I'ma try a third time though. |

I still support TNA but I will say I've lost more interest sense I started reading the Spoilers for each week to see if AJ and or Raven would be on. If there not on I don't watch. So, yeah I geuss I shoudln't read Spoilers Lol.
