new tna

[kittie]

did anyone see new tna (thrusday not monday) what did they think?

[War Wolf]

the one on 1/14 or the one on 1/7. 1/7 was a repeat, and 1/14 was pretty good

[Lex Largon]

I thought it was good, i would have liked to see a little more of Desmond Wolfe and a little less Tomko, now don't get me wrong. I'm a bit of a Tomko mark, but to be blatantly honest to me it looks like Tomko has cut back on training now thats reasonable because of the whole shoulder injury and stuff. That being said i think he should get back in shape before he gets another shot at the title. He looked winded from like mid match to the end. Other then that i thought it was a pretty good show overall.

[War Wolf]

i agree, and Wolfe should get a title match. And whats up with this no name team beating one of the best tag teams ever. Generation Me (a fusion of wanna b dx, legacy, and MMG) beating MMG? Not Possible. I want MMG to win the tag belts

[Ritter]

Generation Me looked like young hardy boyz to me, but man did they have some moves!

[drew]

Young Bucks arent a no Name team, if you watched ROH you would actualy know that. Oh and Young Bucks = Generation Me so before you say they are a no name team, watch some ROH.

[Ritter]

Tazz was like "who are these young bucks?!?" that's funny. Is ROH on TV? I've got a REALLY old ROH DVD with Chris Daniels, AJ Styles, Paul London, Lo Ki, Jerry Lynn, Prince Nana, Jodie Fliesh, and some other guys on it. It's old. Really old.

So TNA isn't done stealing people from ROH? I thought they depleted the roster when they got Joe, Jay Leathal, Daniles and others.. lol.

[Lex Largon]

Nah RoH is still going pretty strong, i'd even go as far to say they are better then TNA and WWE but then again thats just me and my love for the Indy's and the spectacular Chris Hero and all the other insane talent they have in there locker room.

[drew]

Trust me Lex it isnt just you.. TNA and WWE are for the characters any more.. ROH is for the wrestling so its not going far because its just true.

[Lex Largon]

Glad someone agrees with me!, now don't get me wrong i love TNA and Aj Styles and Angle and what have you, and don't even get me started on Samoa Joe i mark every time his name is mentioned. In fact i flipped over my office chair when i mentioned Joe just a second ago. But for real lets get serious here for a second........The Rought Cut will always be an ROHbot for life.......FOR LIFFFFEEEEE!

[War Wolf]

I was just mad b/c im an MMG fan and I want them to have a big push. Generation Me had some gud moves though, but i would have rather them not beat MMG

[Lex Largon]

I don't know why, but TNA seems to want to push MMG. But as soon as they get around to it they completely fall back and have them lose. I love Sabin and Shelley always have. For both in ring skill and the skill they bring to the stick. I think we may see MMG get the tag titles but then again thats just my hope. I know it , you know it. Hell TNA knows it, MMG deserve those belts. Hogan and Dixie Carter and all the other bookers / backstage management just need to get their heads out of their asses before it happens.

[War Wolf]

exactly, i love their tag moves, they are a great tag team

[Scott Smith]

Anyone want to explain what the hell happened at the end of this last one?

[machosteele]

I have no idea Scott.

I don’t know if I am more confused about the actual ending of the show or what actually happened if you know what I mean.

I don’t like the way TNA book iMPACT! (you are right, it is cool Mason, ;D ) everything just seems to be thrown at you and you get no time to digest what has happened and its not the first time that I have thought WTF at the end of the show. I just think TNA try to cram too much into the 2 hours and it ends up with the viewers getting lost and confused in the middle of the mayhem. Maybe a 2nd show would help that but that is what I thought when iMPACT went from 1 hour to 2 hours, it just seems to be the way TNA Book things.

Now lets take last weeks show, we have the ending of the Angle v AJ match, we know that Flair cant interfere so you are sitting wondering how it is going to end, then Kurt gets the ankle lock in but AJ reverses it and after 2 seconds Earl Hebner rings the bell. Hebner and AJ with his title awkwardly make their way to the back and Angle is in the ring looking as confused as I am watching it. Hogan is then seen at ringside and Angle is heard shouting a few profantites at Hulk who has a camera close up but he does not show any emotion on his face so you don’t know if he was in on it or not, the camera spends more time on Hogan than on Angle so you expect Hogan to say something, he says nothing so the camera spent the majority of the aftermath on Hogan who was standing doing nothing after a few more awkward moments of Hogan being on camera Angle spits on him and tells him he quits and is going back to the WWE, the commentators do nothing to help the story, they spend the whole time acting confused as well. Then the camera cuts to Eric Bischoff making his way down to the ring with a bloody face. Angle and Hogan have by this time magically vanished and Bischoff gets in the ring and tells us that Mick Foley has been fired and then bam the show ends.

Now I know that this was just a copy of the Montreal screw-job but I wrote it this way so that you could see what went down in the final 2 minutes of the show. TNA’s main priority is to grow and become a legitimate challenge to the WWE, now imagine how confused you would be if you were a casual viewer who didn’t have a lot of knowledge of wrestling, you would have no idea of what was going on and probably would give it a miss the next time you seen the show advertised.

Now for the actual angle in which was used during the Kurt v AJ match, why in the hell would you take something that is to wrestling fans one of the most famous shoot moments in wrestling history (That happened in a different company) and repeat it as a work? I knew this was a work and I am sure all other wrestling fans knew this as the angle was poorly executed and we know Angle hasn’t quit TNA, the same angle was run in the WWE only a couple of months ago with CM Punk and the Undertaker, it didn’t go down too well with the crowd then so what made TNA think it was going to get over now. If you were a wrestling fan who had just tuned into the show you would be thinking wow, TNA couldn’t come up with anything original and basically just copied something from WWE word for word you could say.

For people like me who actually like TNA and want to see it succeed and become a genuine alternative to the WWE for the sake of wrestling more than anything else, why the f**k would I want to see anything like that, why don’t I just watch WWE and see that exact same thing happen 2 months before it does in TNA? Anything, anything would have been better to than that ending, TNA have a creative department, they should be fired for not doing their job because that was anything but creative, instead of attracting fans they are just driving them away.

TNA have a lot of talented wrestlers and it is going to be hard enough for them to get anywhere near WWE without putting stupid crap like this on air.

That kind of went into a rant but I hope it makes sense, well more than iMPACT! Does.
