@KidDupree16 TNA's biggest mistake is the fans want "Attitude" and the WWE aint giving it to them yet TNA doesn't capitalize on that. TNA should be the place to go if your sick of John Cena and "Little Jimmy" and untalented super models who think they are wrestlers etc. yet it isn't. It's good to bring in SOME big name talent from WWE and some old WCW throw backs but if they rely on that to much there is no origionality to it. They need to build their own stars that are origional to TNA.

[Poetiksound85]

both brands are seriously cheesy corny & funny ..

[BradNC11175]

@GoldStandardPunk66 I think part of TNA's problem has been consistancy in the story lines, or lack there of. This is the same thing that happened to WCW towards the end. It's like "Let's go attitude this week" and then a week later its like "nah lets go PG". They flip flop to much and it leads you to wonder just where the hell they are going. About the time they seem to get you engaged with some story line they'll scrap it and do something else. Maybe that'll change with Russo gone, I hope so.

[BradNC11175]

@GoldStandardPunk66 I think Sheamus & Mark Henry are two of the guys that almost make WWE product worth watching these days. I don't know much about Shad but JTG is a fucking joke. Hulk Hogan, Sting & Cena were the baby face kings of their generations. I'm not a Cena hater, he is both good & bad for the business. He is guaranteeing wrestling fans (by way of the Little Jimmies) 20 years out but the more mature demographics cant stand him it seems. I don't know Brandon Walker but Laurenitis sucks.

[GoldStandardPunk66]

@BradNC11175 John Laurenitis= the most unentertaining guy in the HISTORY OF WWE. I mean seriously he's blander than Mark Henry, John Cena, Shad, JTG, Sheamus (on the mic as a heel), Randy Orton (in general as a heel 0'8-'09), and the man, the myth, the legend of our craft BRADON WALKER (who did you know is the pure embodiement of pro wrestling). Back to Laurenitis him and David Otunga should form a tag team call "Comepletely uninteresting but still getting TV time" i.e Showmiz.

[BradNC11175]

@GoldStandardPunk66 I've never really been a fan of Sting but have always appreciated his ability. I don't think he needs anyone to carry him in a match. If it were Hogan or Flair (at this stage in their careers) I would agree with you though but thank God it's not Flair or Hogan. Sting may be comming near the end of his in ring career but he still has a few good matches in him. Russo is gone from TNA and add that with John Laurenitis's boring ass dragging down WWE, TNA might get somewhere.

[GoldStandardPunk66]

@BradNC11175 Yeah, both Sting and Roode are fantastic on the mic and work off eachother. Even though I'm not thrilled that Sting will be getting back in the ring, I think Roode will be able to carry Sting to atleast a decent match. Lockdown is shaping up to be great though. On to the impatience thing, you are 100% correct. These people do not realize that TNA needs to rebuild from Russo's jackassery over the last couple of years. They've already rebuilt Joe, Magnus, and Morgan.

[BradNC11175]

@GoldStandardPunk66 Wrestling fans can be rather impatient and good story lines/charicters don't develop over night. I do believe TNA is improving from what it's been over the past year or so but again it's not going to happen over night. I think one of the smartest things they've done is to put Sting in that GM spot and that feud between Sting & Rood may be one of the best things done in years in pro wrestling before it's all over. They brought back the Joker Sting last night, good move.

[GoldStandardPunk66]

@BradNC11175 They've been doing that for a while now, both Roode and Storm are probably the most pushed people on the show and Kaz, Daniels, and AJ are all in a fued right now. I really don't see why people still have a problem with Impact ever since Pritchard took over creative. They even fired Vince Russo for fucks sake.

[BradNC11175]

@LTopomcFly The same thing is true about Bill Goldberg. Some claim he never had a love for wrestling and was just there to make some money. I don't know how true that is but he has stated more than once he didn't like the "racy hostile to family" kind of content especially in the WWE even though by the end WCW was worse. I think part of TNA's problem is what was a problem in WCW: their creative team has the attention span of a gnat. Rood, Storm, Styles, Abyss & Morgan are all good/great talents.

[LTopomcFly]

@BradNC11175 I have nothing against their beliefs, but I think that is a big reason TNA isn't more mature. A big part of Sting never going to WWF was how racy it was back then. and Bobby Rood is the best heavyweight they have.

[BradNC11175]

@LTopomcFly Sting & AJ Styles are two of the best things TNA has going for them as best I can see it. Sting has been far more interesting in that GM spot than Hogan ever was (as the GM) and is damned sure an improvement over John (Boring Ass) Laurenitis on RAW. I think TNA has been learning from some of it's mistakes recently and it is improving. I like the direction they've gone in with Bobby Rood. I agree with you on the Knockouts but as wrestlers they are way better than the Divas of WWE.
