Honestly, he sounds like any normal fan just ranting about stuff. What's so awesome about any of that?

He says he isnt foreign.....Ummm, yeah he is....Canada is a different country.
Also look at the Freudian slip when he was talking about Kong not having balls. |

He's gone from "insightful" to "nerd rage." Or, as it's known around here, to "Noid Post."

Yeah, that didn't sound particularly insightful at all. It's like anything you might read in the wrestling forum. It's also full of grammatical mistakes, which made it seem like it was written by a teenager.

He's been complaining about TNA for years now, he's probably fed up with their shit.
Anywho, great read. Lance is a great man whose opinion I hold in great regard, grammatical errors not withstanding, |

The obvious answer is he's angling for a job.

Storm is just saying what everyone is saying. While I haven't said the exact same things about TNA, it is the same general arguments of bad booking, and too much retardedness going around instead of focusing on their strengths.

Grammatical errors notwithstanding, he's still making a far more nitpicky, fanboy argument than his usual reasoned posts. I don't blame him for being fed up, but this is kinda...Lame.

Granted, if this statement was made by anyone here on the forums, it's business as usual. Why some fans (including me to an extent) take it more seriously is because he's Lance Storm. He's wrestled across the world, for the 3 major promotions of the late 90's, helped develop matches and storylines in ECW, and is one of the most technically sound wrestlers the industry had. So his opinion goes from the weight of a pissed off fan to that of a professional complaining about his dieing industry. On top of this, while he can act at times like an online wrestling nerd, most of the time he is fairly composed and gives a straight, honest answer for all questions he's asked. This is also refreshing to the bat-shit crazy rants of other wrestlers online.
Still, realizing him bitching doesn't change a damn thing, it's still nice to hear it from an industry professional. It's like Bill Clinton making comments of the problems of the Democratic Party, or Bill Gates discussion the wrongs of Window's Vista and OSX. It just means a little more when it comes from someone who knows what they're talking about. |

Also, the majot difference between him and Gates or him and Clinton is that they are still relavent to their fields and can sway the outcome. They're still powerful men, movers and shakers. Storm is a blogger. |

I think Lance Storm is so hard on TNA because he wants them to succeed. TNA can't afford to do this shit all of the time.
If they don't change their booking, story lines, and continuity errors the company won't last. |

I don't think he's trying to say anything ground breaking, he's just trying to show that he's beating his head against his desk like everyone else.
I watch at most like 20 minutes of raw a week tho... I keep up with the results tho, just cuz it's always a fun read.... but I don't understand why it's so hard to make wrestling no embarassing. Making something edgey is not THAT hard. You just have to stop trying to make it so damned edgey and that's what TNA fails at so hard. |

TNA, for whatever reason refuses to look at its strength and rather book the worst crap possible.

TNA, for whatever reason books to compete with WWE for their share of the deal. I mean, they don't have to go the ECW route and bankrupt themselves, or go the RoH route and book to smarktards. They just need to stop booking like they're WWE's little brother trying to get big bro's attention, approval, and maybe even to prove they're as good.

Storm watched TNA, and posted his thoughts on it. They may not be anything groundbreaking, but what do you expect Lance Storm to do? Wave a magic wand and make everything better for them? What's especially funny is that you go on to post your thoughts on TNA a little later, which are exactly what people have been saying for years. ![]() It seems to me that Storm posted his thoughts on TNA because a) he felt like it, and b) because he was just trying to entertain those who read his blogs. There's nothing wrong with that. Also, what Storm posted would pretty much sum up the problems with TNA's on-screen product. If you don't think that qualifies as "insightful," I don't know what would. |

By the way, Lance. Yes, yes I did think of "HLA" when looking at Cena's shirt.
