In the IWC, TNA pretty much gets crapped on. Personally I think impact is the best show on tv. The TNA PPV's are pretty bad but impact is good IMO. I love the mafia I actually like Booker and Steiner now and those are two guys that I gave up on a while ago. I like the beautiful people, the machine guns, and ODB is frickin awesome. Do you guys agree?
I've never liked the MEM. They started out as a means to get the younger stars over, and to an extent they have. But having A.J. win the "Legends" belt is a joke, in my opinion. The guy has won the TNA title before, why can't he now? Oh, yeah, Sting and Angle are fighting over it. The Sting/Angle storyline would work a lot better without the title involved - hey, they could feud over who deserves to be the number one contender.
If you remember, back in 1999/2000, WCW lost Jericho and a host of other great wrestlers because the older wrestlers just wouldn't get out of the main spotlight to make way for the next group of main eventers. I'm starting to see that happen here in TNA.
I sat down to watch Impact this past Thursday and I will say there were some things I liked about it. MCMG taking on that Japanese tag team was a great match. But then Beer Money come out, attack the Japanese team, driving them from the ring and call out the Dudleyz...er Team 3D. Don't know, just turned me off from what was entertaining me.
I think the Knockouts division are a joke now. Awesome Kong must be crying to herself backstage that she has to put over these no talent pieces of eye candy. The Beautiful People are okay, but they've become Divas, not women wrestlers. They've become a storyline. ODB is a little too over the top - the whole "Win a Date with ODB" had me groaning. Come on, I'm not buying this guy is an actual regular fan. The women's division started out really great, with women that impressed me and made me care about the title. Now? They're just like the WWE Divas - pretty, but not impressive. And will they get that birksha off Cheerleader Melissa (Saaed) so we can see her lovely face? At least they've started to let her wrestle.
You might think I hate TNA. I don't. I think TNA has an enormous amount of potential. They have some great wrestlers who can wow the audience. The problem lies with bogging those wrestlers down with some lame storylines. Not every match needs to revolve around a story and not every match has to have a stipulation.
Another problem is that as soon as TNA starts to do something right, they get nervous because they're not gaining more of a fan base or rating points with it and decide to scrap it and go in a different direction. You're not going to get fans overnight and TNA has to realize that.
Anyway, that's my two cents. I don't hate the show, but I don't find a lot to get excited about, either.
