Sell me TNA
Thats right. I've watched a full show of TNA about 4 times, if that. And when I come on here, I hear the same negatives that I hear about WWE. Storylines aren't any good, there isn't any consistency, there are too many spot monkeys etc.
So some one sell me TNA, tell me its good points. What are the reasons I should pay attention to them as opposed to WWE? Also, I checked out the website. Apparently Raven has a new stable, The Serotonin? Is it the same deal as the flock? And who is in it this time? |

Not even the man who sold Gigli to Columbia Pictures could pull that one off.

I watched Nitro in 97/98. But Didn't watch it after that. Which era of WCW does it resemble?

They sometimes pull off decent, and sometimes excellent matches. But for every good match you get 50 Russo angles and Sharkboy joke matches.

If you haven't noticed, I despise Sharkboy and any other gimmick like it where they rely on ass biting, comedic handshakes and "HOW'D HE DO DAT!?" spots.

You might also hate him more for suing the kids movie "SharkBoy and Lava Girl" for using the name Shark Boy. Actually taking it to court, suing for a couple million dollars, and the movie never even did well. It got horrible reviews, literally the crappiest crap in craptown. Yet he still thought it was stealing his "gimmick". lol

Hey, I don't care about that. As far as I'm concerned, if he DID own the trademark he had the right to, and should have sued.

But its still kind of funny how seriously he takes his gimmick. Plus maybe if it was worth suing for, or fuck maybe if anyone knew who the hell you were?

Honestly TNA is nearly half as bad as people make it out to be, especially on these boards. It has probelms, no doubt... but they aren't the anti-christ of professional wrestling. The one thing I keep seeing as a downside to TNA is that they try so hard to be new and innovative that they often lose sight of what professional wrestling is actually supposed to be. You can only see so many new "Monster's Ball", "Ultimate X", "Raven's playhouse", "Electric cage", "20 foot scaffold", and "Last Rights" matches inside of a non-traditional 6-sided ring before you just want to see something that isn't new but has been proven to work. Every once in awhile just a wrestling match is what people want to see and TNA rarely delivers that. And 70% of the time when they do deliver it, it is ruined by a run in of some sort. They just have too many ideas for too many people. They just really need to calm down, take a look at their current situation, and pick a few angles/gimmicks they want to run with instead of trying to throw 90 of them into a one hour show.
Other than some of the things I just stated, the actual performers I beleive have the potential to sell if they are marketed right. That just remains to be seen. Last edited by Nark Order; 10-06-2007 at 07:55 PM. |

Having mocked it, I might as well take this time to confess, TNA is at least better than SmackDown last time I checked.

Don West = One of the worst things to ever happen to wrestling.
JBL = The best man behind the booth working today. Skippord = Dumb crackhead. |
