TNA's slogan is "Wrestling Matters"? Inside dig at WWE but WWE have more wrestling on every show practically? SmackDown has impressive stats there.

 

[Sage.]

Wow, WWE fans complain at the lack of wrestling, but there's actually quite a lot there compared with TNA, who marketed their whole campaign by a cheap-shot at WWE saying "Wrestling Matters".

 

[Tzesi]

Don't the WWE shows last more?

 

[Solidus1]

I like TNA backstage scenes, so that's no problem for me.
I have to say quality matters, TNA = quality, therefore TNA/wrestling matters.

TNA used to be better a couple of years go when they also had the 6-sided ring and the x-division.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Solidus1]

You're not wrong, it's your opinion but I do disagree. I prefer the 4-sided ring. X-division was good though.

Nope. Don't think so.

I'd say WWE puts on more regular quality matches over TNA, maybe you're referring to the gimmicks/story-lines. But WWE has had some epic matches this year in terms of wrestling quality. Best year for a while.

You're not wrong, it's your opinion but I do disagree. I prefer the 4-sided ring. X-division was good though.

Agreed, I much prefer the square rings.

 

[Sage.]

Think they're on the same time Tzesi.

I think the wrestlers had a problem with bumping this six sided ring. The mat was apparently harder. The x division was great in the past but it seems to be being rebuilt slowly with a double leading the way. Just hope they'd use alex Shelley more.

 

[Crayo]

What is this x-division?

 

[seabs]

X division is like a high flying division they recently put in a weight limit but before it didn't have one. It was responsible for some great matches including aj styles, samoa joe, daniels,alex Shelley and chris sabin. There were others but you get the idea. Now its got austin aries as champion with kid kash , brian kendrick and others. Its basically just some awesome wrestling.

 

[Tzesi]

What is this x-division?

 

[Crayo]

So basically like the cruiser-weight division lol. Sounds good though, I enjoy high-flying wrestling.

Big fan of Kendrick.

 

[seabs]

Big fan of Kendrick.

Me too his sliced bread #2 is really impressive imo. Even though it's a pretty common indie / tna move he seems to hit it crisper then most people.
