Paul E + Cornette + TNAs slot on prime time tv + some indy guys and some veterans = A successful wrestling company

[PanterA1984]

tna is grea... sorry, couldn't finish the sentence, it's just too hard.

@ZipZagginGallifrey I think you didnt see this video. Paul Heyman states his estimate of WWE Marketshare is 90 to 95% I think that means the WWE is raping TNA, dragging it out to the back and taking a shit on the carcass. Like TNA better? That is cool, but do not dispute cold hard facts.

[KrowOnTrial]

@ZipZagginGallifrey I could not agree more strongly with you. until 1991 WWF/WWAT? was entertaining. They expect the "fans" to not have more intelligence then an animal. The contracts and budget per episode may be as large as Jean-Paul Levesque's nose, but the real talent ha always remained in WCW, ECW, NWA, AWA, and Ring of Honour. old school fans and former "talent" all agree

[AttitudeEra4life459]

"Do you think you could help them?"

"Oh, I know I could."

Heyman is really arrogant but the guy knows what he's talking about.

@ZipZagginGallifrey tna is full of washed up wrestlers from wcw and wwf/e. vince was always smarter when it came to the business side of wrestling. and the wrestlers that have been around, they will continue to help vince market new wrestlers. ive been watching wrestling since around 97-98. watched wcw and ecw too. wwe owns tna in every way. people continue to watch it more and more. and who wants to see ric flair and hogan wrestler anymore. its a joke tna is putting on. im done here kiddo.

[ZipZagginGallifrey]

@sonofscars Typical dumbfuck comment from an uneducated mark. TNA is pissing all over WWEAK right now

[ChicagoMade17]

Heyman is correct in this sense. With WWE and Vince controlling 90 to 95% of the product TNA would have to fight to get some of that product share the major problem is there is no one upstairs with the creative drive or booking knowledge to produce it properly. I mean vince Russo leaveing was a good start and its too bad Cornette and Heyman don't like each other because between those two and the talent on ROH and in TNA that would make a great show. That and getting rid of Hulk amd Flair :)

[ShinobiMusashi1]

If I own a wrestling promotion, I want Paul Heyman to have complete creative/booking control.

[Styme2002]

whomever was the idiot that killed off the six-sided ring is the cause of tna going down the toilet...it all started there

[moltenriches]

Paul Heyman's a smart man when it comes to what works in the wrestling business, the only reason ECW failed was because he wasn't good with finances, if Paul had been left to do just the booking and creative direction for ECW while someone handled the finances ECW could still be here today and it quite possibly could be on the level TNA is on now if not higher, even Vince McMahon has said this that if the money had been there Paul could have taken ECW to new heights easily.

[TheFightnemu]

TNA had a shot to do something. After hogan that all went out the window
