Total Non-stop Re-Runs

[Rell]

Why do I feel like I'm watching Re-runs? I sometimes miss TNA impact for weeks at a time, and when I tune back in, its as if I haven't missed a thing. Same boring angles, same boring promo's, its all the same.

Samoa Joe builds tension, well at least he tries, before being interrupted by Matt Morgan (Which is seemingly going nowhere fast). Buh Buh Ray and D-Von make a few fat jokes about themselves "inadvertently", before bashing the X-Division...AGAIN. Father James Mitchel says "ABYSS, I am Your FATHER!?!?!" and seemingly cuts the same promo he's been "cutting" for two years straight. AJ gets treated like a bitch...hate to say again but...AGAIN. Throw in a "Knock out" match, and some miscellaneous shit, and there we have it. TNA iMPACT.

I understand the in-ring product is solid, but thats not what makes a good wrestling promotion. You need something that draws attention. Something that makes people want to watch. TNA just doesn't have that something.

Thoughts?

*waits for Chest Armor and Peepshow to get *

I agree... also there is literally a run in and controversial finish of some sort every night. Shit just seems extremely boring and played out to me, especially the use of factions was not really done right, imo.

^^An HBK, HHH, and Undie banner. A worst case scenario is rearing its ugly head...

Well, I have to partially agree. I still love TNA but Russo will kill it if someone doesn't kill him first.

 

[phantomgerald]

It's real. That along with a few Karen flirts here and there. They should stop trying so hard to be funny. It's not working.

 

[the dark knight]

hahaha you said NOTHING new rell. now you know why we hate TNA and their fans?

there are a couple of rules that never change:
-every superstar must appear in every show << remember that applied in the 1 hour show as well.
-there has to be at least 6 wrestlers involved in every match.
-every match must have a run in

ok im gettin bored of this, look for "TNA rant" in the street fight. i posted links to that youtube thing before.

Now that you've tried to call me out, please elaborate. How does having Triple H, HBK, and Undertaker sigs (not banners and it's plural) contradict or appear relevant in anyway to what I said regarding TNA?

And it's funny how you could base most of TNA's flaws on RUSSO (like you know what decisions he is making). It's literally impossible for just one guy backstage to be making the show this boring.

 

[Rell]

I'm about to put money on his (Russo's) head, because I really do want TNA to succeed. I'm not the type that openly bashes promotions day in and day out, but I do tend to voice my opinion every once in a while :thumbup:.

The in-ring product is solid, but they definitely need to do a better job with progressing angles. I watched last week, and the only thing I remembered about the show was...Kendall Gill. Thats not good.

Kendall Gill is the washed up NBA player with the flat-top for those who don't know. He appeared somewhere during the program. I forgot where, which again, is a bad thing. I'm not a very forgetful person either lol, I just failed to pay much attention.

Edit: I'm not actually putting money on his head. Had to clear that up, the feds might be watchin...

 

[PeepShow]

LOL Rell, I hate to say this, but I was actually thinking the exact same thing when I first tuned into iMPACT last night. I see 3D comes out and talk the same shit. I mean seriously, how long has this been for now? It is pretty boring. And yeah, the Samoa Joe thing is getting stale really, REALLY fast if you ask me.

 

[phantomgerald]

The Samoa Joe thing and the Angle thing going on is the only good thing about Impact right now. Not only did I think I was watching an Impact rerun, I thought I was watching a WWE1997 Raw. This being said alot of times, but the Judas/Mitchell/Abyss thing is so similar to the Kane/Taker/Bearer feud it's not even funny. To think that TNA actually built this up for so many months? And STSB is not funny anymore.

Pardon moi Dean Douglas. It was only meant as an off kilter remark. You're right there was no relevance and I wasn't trying to instigate a fight or flame war. I was only implying that I don't like all 3 wrestlers...nothing more.

Who likes Vince Russo? You? It sounds like it. The only flaws with TNA have come since his return. I will say that last night's Impact was great and look forward to 3 possible new feuds this year.

 

[chessarmy]

I honestly think you people are complaining for the sake of complaining. TNA iMPACT! last night has set up some great new feuds, it built up Against All Odds, and it had some good wrestling. 3 things that are essential for a TV show to succeed. I know you are going to call me a "TNA Mark" and all...but I dont think that this is worth comlaining about. What do you expect, the fueds just ending without any explanation? So Mitchell should stop takling about Abyss all of a sudden? They are going to say some of the same stuff because its part of progressing fueds...

Whatever, you guys have your opinion

But you fail to realize everyone agrees. If it was 2 out of say 10 people complaining, I'd say you were correct, people are complaining to be complaining. But, when the majority says something is wrong, something must be wrong. Look at Peepshow and Charismatic Edge. They're pro-TNA, and are usually the ones defending TNA. Even they are saying the repetitiveness is blatant.

Either you're ignoring the repetitiveness, and your trying to come up with excuses, or you're just blind. I doubt you're blind, so I'll go with the first accusation.

 

[Barurot]

I am more of a TNA fan than a WWE fan (tho I do watch both) and right now I agree with most people in saying that THE STORY LINES ARE CA-CA!!! Le sigh...

Same here, the fact that I made a thread questioning TNA is actually a positive in itself. I disagree with a lot of things WWE does, but I'm not vocal about it for the simple fact that I don't care. This actually shows that I care enough about TNA to actually take the time and say anything.

as I said, their is always going to be a Mitchell promo talking about Abyss because thats how you advance a storyline. Its called backstage interviews people, its supposed to occur. So what, Mitchell mentioned that he is Abyss' father twice in a row...he is just reminding us and he should be doing that since it is so important and it is the basis of the fued. Also, Team 3D beating down on the X-Division happened because MCMG and lethal were embarassing Team 3D and Devine. Also, last week it was MCMG and Lethal who got the advantage in the fued by cracking jokes on 3D about the weight limit, so this was their revenge...

If you really think about it, it makes perfect sence and I dont really see the repetitiveness at all. I know I am in the minority on this one, so that is why i am saying that I disagree, but it doesnt mean that you or anyone else on here is wrong, its just my opinion
