TNA should NEVER listen to their fans!
For the first time, I'd honestly have to say that TNA should be the only company to NOT listen to their fans. I've always said how WWE, WCW, etc have ignored their fans when they should've listened, but TNA is the opposite.
Hands down, that company has the shittiest fan base ever! They have no clue whatsoever about booking and marketing. If TNA listens to them, I'd expect their company to die in a few months. Their goal for TNA is to be a company that nearly eliminates most storyline...and their idea is that the casual fan will eat up and already knows who AJ Styles is. One talked about bringing in Brock Lesnar and a bunch of them wrote, "brock has no talent, Matt Bentley, Sonjay Dutt etc are worth more than him!" ![]() I AM PABLO. |

Yeah because booking and marketing are much more important to wrestling fans than actual good wrestling.

I'm all for good wrestling, but there obviously needs to be some form of heavy entertainment and good storyline in there for the casual fan to get interested in. It's called using one's brain.
Going for straight up all wrestling with little to no storyline results in that .9 rating they got. |

I'm with ya. They're marks for the most part. To get where TNA has gotten they've acquired a cult following, that believes the TNA is in the right in all actions. They have no interest in marketing (which yes Sadistic, it is more important than wrestling as it makes money) or intelligent booking. They only want to see what fits their personal tastes of wrestling should be, and not what sells. And that makes them marks.

TNA is fine right now.
Sure it's not groundbreaking TV and still needs work, but I find TNA far more enjoyable then WWE. TNA needs to focus on its strong points which its wrestling and the other things will come eventually. |

Lesnar does have no talent...besides Goldberg I have never seen a man wrestle worst....
I would take 20 Dutts and Bentleys over 1000 Brock Lesnars anyday |

You aren't going to find one. The fact is that wrestling, since at least the 70s or so, has been about entertainment for the most part. Sure there are going to be a lot of matches, some good and some bad, but no wrestling promotion is going to get over on good wrestling alone. |

I'm sick of all this bullshit "TNA needs to be more like WWE".
All I hear is TNA needs gimmickes, storylines, marketing etc. I say fuck that. If you want gimmicks and storylines watch WWE. If you want good wrestling watch TNA. We already have WWE, we don't need another federation to be an exact copy. TNA do something different and everyone is negative. Jesus. |

I like the style TNA is presenting. I don't want them to change. If they fail they fail, at least they wouldn't change their style just to please a few negative morons who think every wrestling fed should be a copy of WWE.
Looks like in today's world you can't offer the fans something different. |

They wont become a carbon copy of WWE, but they need to cater to the widest audience possible. They need to draw in as many viewers as possible and provide them with something that is fresh and different, yet similar to WWE b/c that is what most casual fans are drawn too. Once TNA develops a larger, more dedicated fanbase, then they can expand and let their product evolve into something else. |

A few negative morons? Considering the negativity you're sspewing, I'd say look in the mirror.
![]() .9 ratings, baby. I wouldn't say it's just a few. You don't even listen to yourself, do you? While you whine that "you can't offer the fans something different," You can, and stop being such a huge drama queen. You still have to be entertaining, however. Copying a failed wrestling division (What they're doing now) is no better than copying a failing one (Which you're whining about them doing if they dare stop being vanilla). |

Still think it's way too early to change TNA's product drastically.

What Sadistic is saying is what 99% of the TNA fans on their message board says against me and Destor. It's the same shit over and over again. "I don't care what they say!!! i luv tna the way it is! no stoopid storylines, only wrestling!"
What KK said is pretty much what I've been telling all the kids there. I told them, if that's their vision of TNA, then I guess we can all just kiss it goodbye already! |

The fact of the matter is that TNA WANTS to live and WANTS to make money. It's a business. Promotions like ROH and CZW aren't trying to make money. They're trying to cater to the smark*/underground crowd. TNA is trying to be a business and compete with another business, much like all the companies in the real world do.
If TNA wanted to stay underground and cater to the underground fans, they should have stayed with the weekly PPVs, or even stayed with FSN or another not-so-widely seen station. The fact that they tried so hard to get on Spike is proof that they want to go at it with the WWE, and the ONLY way to do that is to use the decades-old pro wrestling formula. *Please note that I am in no way connecting smarks with CZW. |
