...apparently so for many TNA Superstars. Over the past month or so, TNA just kind of kicks some guys to the curb. Sure, it might just be for awhile, but most wrestling fans could see where guys can possibly go, and for most in TNA...it's downhill, and downhill fast.

Abyss- Made like 3 appearances since coming back at Slammiversary...in June. (Now end of July)

MCMG- Did some small matches in the World X-Cup. It's over now, and I haven't seen them do anything. Tag Team titles are filled up, they get bumped aside again.

AJ Styles- 6 Man thing isn't working out. Is he still feuding with Angle? Is he feuding with suck ass Frank Trigg? Or maybe they kicked him to the curb too?

Christian Cage- Normally, I am not a big fan of his, but he got slammed through a glass table, and TNA still can't put him in a nice singles feud? They paired him up with Rhino?

Rhino- He never goes anywhere at anytime so why bring him up?

Petey Williams- For being champion, you rarely see him.

Eric Young- They never do anything with this guy.

Curryman- If TNA digs deep down, I think they can have something special for this "masked gentlemen".

The only rivalries TNA has got going is Booker/Joe, LAX/ Beer Money, well, the 6 Man Tables rivalry, and Jay/Dutt. They do have other guys, but once again, TNA has no idea in teh booking field. It's always been like that, but it's pretty damn obvious now.

The problem is you and CMS aren't booking the shows. And the fact that Vince Russo is a complete moron who couldn't book a plane ticket much less a wrestling show.

In all seriousness how many people do they have on their roster 50? 60? Two hours a week, 8 hours a month of television isn't enough time to set up storylines. How long is the average Impact match like 5 6 minutes tops? You can barely tell a story with that kind of time just go out, couple a moves and it's over. The point being is that there's no time for anybody below people like Kurt, Christian, Joe, Booker, Nash, 3D, LAX to even get over with the fans and develop anything long term.

Things seem to be chaotic right now, but I'm sure TNA will find some stuff for most of the roster to do until the next PPV. I think the 6 man rivalry of 3D/Angle vs Cage/Rhino/AJ is going to continue, Eric Young is doing another stupid angle, and the only thing they could do with Curry Man right now (besides jobbing him out to random people) is a storyline where we eventually find out that he is, in fact, The Fallen Angel.

Anyway, I get what you are saying but its harder than it looks. They have a 50+ roster to work with, and only one television show. 2 hours makes it easier, but its still hard to find something for everyone on the roster to stay busy with

I've been lost with TNA for a long time now. There's so much that's going on, I can't really get my head around it. I try to watch it as much as I can, but I just have to change the channel most times. I could get some of the things that are happening with the matches, but the segment and backstage parts are just horrible.

Maybe they could try and simpl'ify stuff and such...


ya-know...like have this guy take on that guy ,instead of "ohh-shit!...they both got history with that guy and he has a wife, who happens to divorace him, then that guy gets his tag team bros to help him get a date, while the other two guys get another dude to join them and Ka-BAM!..tables matches!"

and stuff like that...

I dunno.

I think tna's usually good to great when they want to be...

but they keep trying to hard to either be "SUPER FAST PACED ACTION PACKED!!!" or too hard trying to be "WWE jr."

they should just cut back, relax and plan out what they're going to do...what they wanna do...

cause what works for one promotion might not work for them or something...I dunno...

Yeah the shows have been shitty of late, because they have their feuds set up, then they just have random segments with any wrestlers they feel like wheeling out for the week. It doesn't do anyone any good. It just stops people from connecting with the croiwd, as they can't get a real opportunity.

TNA's main problem is trying to cram everybody in to the show...why do they need a 3 vs 3 feud? Why couldn't they simply have AJ Styles and Kurt... why does every top heel have to be supported by Team 3D or a load of buddies? I am really bored of Team 3D keep latching onto a randomer to stay in the main event picture... yes Team 3D can talk but they should be being used to put over new guys like they did with MCMG...

Curryman- If TNA digs deep down, I think they can have something special for this "masked gentlemen".

Here's a WACKY idea for Curryman.. Take off his F'n mask, say they rehired Christopher Daniels, and either insert him into the upper card, or let him take over the X-Division. I like the Curryman character, but Daniels' skills are going to waste for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

They are trying to bring up some comedy to their show with all this Curryman thing. But I think it will just lower down the standard they bring. WWE bring Horny to have some comedy, which is fine as they know how to do it. But TNA are actually wasting a huge talent named Christopher Daniel with this lame gimmick. TNA doesnt need this kind of comedy in their show. I think the JB commentator and all the backstage stuff are more than enough for a comedy moment. But having a well round wrestler to have this gimmick is just a step back for this talent imo.

this whole curry man gimmick was supposed to be just for a little bit to give the "creative" team time to think of a way to renew the fallen angel and to give CD something to do when he is supposed to be fired but since curry was so over with the fans they decided to keep the gimmick which i agree is a bad idea.
What i notice is that they always start story lines and then just never finish them or let them fizzle out a week or two latter. like a few months ago i seen team 3d stat a fight with each other and leave the ring all mad and then 2 weeks latter show back up and they never mentioned a thing about that incident. TnA is a mees right now. they got so much talent riding the bench right now. what TnA needs is a second show but not like a separate roster but just like how wcw thunder was and like smackdown! before the brand extension.
