I made a thread about a month ago moaning about how the TNA product had been rubbish recently but over the past month I have see a lot of improvement in TNA. First Kurt Angle has dropped the x title and the tag belts and now the two divisions can rebuild themselves. As much as the TNA haters might hate to admit but TNA getting two hours is huge and it’s going to improve Impacts so much. Last but not least is Judas Messiah I don’t know why but I loved his debut when he totally destroyed Abyss and he seems to have a bright future. Anyway there are load of other improvements but I havent got time anyway.
Are Things are getting better ?

I still think that things are far from perfect, firstly a makeshift team in Styles/Tomko is being the #1 contender instead of XXX, LAX and MCMG. Secondly, Sting/Angle is not the best possible choice for the biggest PPV of their year. Sting is a little over the hill and he should start pushing younger guys instead. Samoa Joe should be the one feuding with Angle and winning it at BFG instead. Also, they haven't planned anything so far for Harris, Roode and Storm, the 3 next big thing to break into the mainevent. Lastly, they're still signing old WWE wrestlers. Alot still needs to be changed.

It doesnt matter how much it improves once it gets 2 hrs. Once a WWE Sheep, always WWE sheep. It doesnt matter what TNA does. They could sign fucking Triple H, SCSA, Taker, Punk, Kennedy, Orton and every great talent, and they would still say WWE is better. It doesnt matter to them.
Anyway, as for the thread itself. It obviously is getting better. Its making its way up to 2 hrs, and its showing. More signings, getting rid of Test, better matches. The PPVs will always deliver in my books, although they may not be the best, they will still be worth the 30 rather than 40 and not getting what I want. Its just a matter of longer matches and pushing more people, which they will have the time to do. But I bet you that 50% of then WWE sheep will still complain, b/c whoever is the champ once it hits 2 hrs, will get the most time. Thats just the way it is. You complain about Kurt Angle and the amount of time he gets every week. But I garundamntee you, that if he was still in the WWE and was WWE champion, you would all be creaming your pants right about now. Its just b/c its more competition. I know you people says its not competition, but clearly it is. When Vince wont even mention it on TV, and has signs taken down at events, you know hes scared as fuck. He knows they are just a few years away. He knows that, and once TNA gets 2 hrs, and starts building up with bigger and better shows as we move on, we WILL see a difference.

I didn't pay much attention to TNA in previous months so I cant say if they've improved, but I've watched the last two episodes of iMPACT and they were enjoyable. The Judas debut was a surprise to me, I wasn't expecting him to make such an impact during his debut. If TNA uses him correctly, I cant see a reason why he cant be a positive to the company. I actually enjoy Team Pacman. I'm not sure if Pacman actually wrestles or not because like I said, I've just recently started watching TNA, but I find them entertaining outside of the ring.
first off...once a TNAfanboy always a TNAfanboy, well it least until ROH runs them out of business...
second how the hell do you know if it going to get better? there isn't any spoilers out, we don know anything so to say that its going to be good or bad is just pure sepctualtion based on which promotion you prefer...
also why the fuck wouldn't vince want to take down TNA flyers and signs? why would you help the competition? its not because he scared, its because he actually has some business since to realize that hes advertising his comption

Back when WCW was around, correct me if Im wrong, but Vince mentioned WCW on the air, and it was before WCW went bad and Vince bought them out. See, he clearly knew that WCW wasnt that great back in 1999, and KNEW it. Whats so different now? TNA is actually good.......
EDIT- Second of all, why are you in here. Its exactly people like you Im talking about that wont say anything positive. No matter what they do, you will always critizise. And please, please dont ever say that ROH will ever take over TNA, b/c well, its just not going to. You see, they would actually have to get something called a TV deal to do that.
mark my words its going to happen..
and i already stated some positive things about TNA
also calling TNA good is just wrong, its average at best

It has improved I must admit. The question is how long can they keep it up? Surely two hours will help, but I still believe some changes as far as booking goes has to be made.

^Well, no promotion will ever be perfect. There will always be something to complain about like I said, whether its womens matches, booking, pushing the right people, and so on. But ya, hopefully they do get on a role for a why once again

^Yep, just check my sig, and you will see why
But no seriously, how can it not be better? You guys want longer matches, and Dixie promised longer matches. You complain about not pushing the right people, and now they will have time to do so. Now whether or not its the people that YOU (Anyone) wants, is up to whatever you think you want to see happen. I just dont see how it cant get better. They already are.

Exactly. And even though I'm still not a big TNA fan, ever since they've announced the 2 hour deal, I've stopped ragging on them. We're going to find out what will happen with 2 hours, and just how good they can possibly get. So I'm restraining all negative comments from TNA until the time extension, its only fair IMO.

2 words.....HELL YES
TNA has gotten better after a disasterous (IMO) Hard Justice...Impact was improving and 2 hours was iminent. Even though we didn't see a Former World Champion at No Surrender the PPV was fucking great and it turned me into a TNA fan. I can't wait till October 4

I agree, I think Hard Justice was a definate low point for TNA this year. But No Surrender was one hell of a PPV, imo. Let's hope they use the two hours well, when you compare No Surrender to Unforgiven, No Surrender was clearly the better show. The simple reason remains that until TNA have built up more of a fan base, and gotten the two hours - they cannot compete with WWE on a ratings level. It does not, however, mean that they are not on WWE's level.
I kinda went off on a rant there.. but yes. TNA has improved dramatically from Hard Justice, it still has a very long way to go.. but they have the oppurtunity to do that with the two hours. Now let's wait and see.
