If Chris Jericho went to TNA...

Would that make it watchable every week?

WTF!? TNA is kicking WWE's ass right now! Hard justice was a great pay per view, far better than anything wwe as tried to pass off as watchable tv. Impact is produce far better storylines on the whole, has better talent (as of august 18th) and a sense of unpredictability that makes it not stale, unlike wwe as of late. Don't get me wrong, i love watching wwe shows, but when you can easily predict not only the result, but everything in the match as well, you know the writers are taking the piss out of us.



Jericho would be awsome in any show, so yeah, TNA would benefit and i reckon most of you would watch a few more times a year than you do now

Hey, it had memorable moments in it, like Angle winning everything, X division people doing awsome things and Christian's cage match.

I can't remember a goddamn thing about wwe's last pay per view, cause nothing stood out. Oh wait, Cena won, but you don't need to have seen it to know that

Lol at everyone on here talking shit about TNA when WWE is giving us crap like Khali and Batista and by the looks of it another Mark Henry/Undertaker fued.

However, Summerslam looks pretty good so far. First "good" PPV this year by the looks of it.

Uhh, I mean, people have been taking a shit all over WWE for a while now. That doesn't make TNA any better. The better smelling shit pile is still a shit pile.

I have enjoyed TNA more than WWE since i have been catching it on Bravo. Granted i don't really watch the whole show, i flick around a lot, but still, it's much more interesteing.

Unless TNA completely changes their booking and writing, TNA will still be mostly ass (and this is coming from a guy who like Impact). Just Jericho won't save TNA. It'll have to be a combination of many things. One thing they need to drop are all the stupid gimmick matches.

If you watch a Impact from a year ago, and watch one from the last 2 months, there's a big difference.

Impact is mostly good lately. I've been watching it since they've been on Spike. I've even seen a little for a couple of months before it was on Spike. It's gotten a lot better, and hopefully will still be around 5-10 years from now.

Look I watched TNA every week when they debuted on PPV, then I stoped when they went to FX. I watch occasionally when it's on, but I usually can't sit through more than five minutes. It just looks like shit, it sounds like shit, and the wrestling is so bad that it makes Sunday Night Heat on WWE.com look great.

Look I watched TNA every week when they debuted on PPV, then I stoped when they went to FX. I watch occasionally when it's on, but I usually can't sit through more than five minutes. It just looks like shit, it sounds like shit, and the wrestling is so bad that it makes Sunday Night Heat on WWE.com look great.
I never would have watched them on their weekly PPV, or anything Pre 2005 before Christian debuted.

But to compare it to Sunday Night Heat, lol.

In an only slightly related comment, The Great American Bash was very enjoyable from a wrestling standpoint.

I think you're partially right.

"Push their own talent" is a limited solution, and a poor one at that. Yes, they should make their own talent, but they shouldn't be afraid to use outside talent, either. The problem with the current situation is that the number of people they've snapped up from WWE is phenomenal, and most of them are not legit stars and/or not really used. Christian, Angle, and even Sting are huge possibilities. Angle's a legit star who can help them out, Sting was a huge name and is worth some exposure, and Christian was out-popping most of the faces for a while there (alebit, with a lack of legit faces, that's not as impressive as it could be).

They have a nice talent pool, and they tend to push the new guys, even if they're bottom run castoffs from WWE. There are many good purchases, but then there were many more bad and poorly used ones. Asset management is very important, and TNA doesn't seem to sass that. But they seem to be pretty much cool with the whole "We're not WWE" thing.

If they can get Jerich, more power to them. It's not that they shouldn't hire established talent, but more that they need to hire the right guys and use them, rather than just casting a net.

i agree with you.

Picking up guys "just cause he was in the wwe and will cut a few shoots" doesnt a good aquisition make. Established names like lesnar and Jerichop will garner interest.

The question here is how to sustain that interest? find out what it is about that persons character that the audience connects with and use it as the point in the spear.


Related : The one thing i noticed when the WWE wants to establish a star they start them off as a heel. Let them get the best of the beloved faces (who were once heels). I think TNA really needs to adopt that. The heels tend to be wishy-washy (fuck, sometimes even lieable when they shouldnt be) What TNA needs is a few turns, some worked shoots where we go "was that shit real?" Engaging storylines that are edgy,

In the end , I'll still support TNA , Fuck Vince! why let him have all of wrestlign TV to himself?

Seriously. Look at the numbers and tell me that TNA is beating WWE's ass. Look at the ratings, and the money, and then tell me TNA is kicking WWE's ass right now.

WWE's been hammered by shit ratings, a steroid scandal/murder suicide, the deaths of several wrestlers over the past year, and plummeting stock prices.

In the face of all that, they're above water.

I wonder how TNA would fare.

Word. That sums it up pretty well.



And to answer the main question from my angle...No. Jericho would make me watch the episode or PPV that he debuted on and that would be it. It wouldn't make me change my inconsistent viewing of TNA programming unless they fixed more than just their Jericho deficiency.

What TNA needs is more of one thing...

Bookers that aren't brain dead. If ROH had the TV deal TNA has, there'd be a Ratings war going on. They are succeeding in doing what TNA SHOULD be doing.

What, did you think I was gonna put up a cowbell?

It never ceases to amusing me how moronicly devoted and deluded RoH monkeys are to actually believing that they could ever even step up to TNA's level of popularity. I mean, in essence, we're talking about a promotion that is envious of how many fans ECW had.
