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. :)

First off, I really want TNA to do well and I'm not a WWE sheep. Neither am I a TNA sheep. You said Vince acknowledged WCW was great, and mentioned them on their program. Maybe that's because they actually had ratings comparable. TNA right now is a long way from even catching up to ECW, so ratings-wise, TNA are just not there yet. And in the end, WWE bought WCW, but I doubt WWE will buy TNA in the near future.

Secondly, you're hating on angryphillip for critiscing TNA. Please in your eyes unless TNA does something really bad, they're godly. And if TNA weren't afraid of ROH talent, why pull them from ROH? It's obvious TNA knows that ROH is right behind them and might catch up. And if I recall, ROH actually won a TV deal. What were you saying again?

I see you never mentioned the fact about Vince not mentioning TNA? I wonder why :g:

Second of all, if ROH won a TV deal, why arent they on TV? Why cant i watch them?

TNA are difinatey getting better and with 2 hours it should be better than ever but I have 2 sides to this...

2 hours can be good or bad and hopefully it will go well with good untryed feuds because after BFG they can have a new start with non title feuds. They have plenty of show time to build feuds and with these new superstars it gives TNA an oppurtunity to try a load of new stuff they've never done before. Sting Vs Angle will be great for two hours if they conitnue it after BFG. Sting me be getting old but he still has it in the ring no doubt and if you throw Jeff Jarrett into the mix as well then you will have three of the best veterans in wrestling today going up against eachother in what will be a dream match. Another thing that will improve is the quality of the matches. TNA have been criticised for short matches and with the extra hour they will have time to fit in more longer matches and get more guys on the card. My hope is for Petey Williams to get his big break on this and make this push him to a llimit he has never reached before and the same for Robert Roode. TNA are also full of great tag teams at the moment too and will be able to get some high profile feuds between them with a mixture of new school and old school and hopefully we will see and XXX/MCMG/Lax feud soon enough. That is all I have for the good points...

On the other hand though things could go horribly wrong. TNA getting a 2 hour deal definately proves they are a company on the rise but their bookers have been criticised a lot recently and my question is will they crack under the pressure of doing twice as much? The womens division imo is a terrible decision by TNA and I don't think that it will be a success. TNA have a big enough roster to have a good 2 hour show without any Womens matches whixch will probably keep good talent off the card. I would have preferred if TNA didn't breing in any new titles, not even a midcard one because they are doing perfectly well with the 3 titles (ignoring when Angle held all 3) but then I could be proved wrong. Another ting I don't like is TNA is relying on big guys atm and neglecting the x-division seriously. I mean look at all the new signings. Test (even though he's gone now), Junior Fatu, Judas, Black Reign, Matt Morgan are all huge and I think TNA needs to rely on the x-division more. That's what most of the fans go to the iMPACT zone to see and I'm ok with a couple f big guys but TNA are over doing it I think. My final problem with the 2 hours is that if Joe ends up going to WWE and Sting retires they have lost two huge main eventers. They are the top 2 faces in the company and if both of them go I'm sure TNA will be able to cope but it will be onehell of a blow to the roster. Sting is a legend in the buisness and Joe is a legend in the making and if they go then I am sure that TNA will be down for a while because people like Sting are irreplacable and Joe is well... I dunno.

Vince McMahon doesn't know what TNA is He was going to sign back BG and Kip James till he realised they were under contract to another company he doesn't know what TNA are.

TNA are starting to catch up but it still going to be a few years until we see close ratings.I never seen much ROH but as i hear they just right behind TNA and all it takes is one big mistake and its all ROH as 2nd Company

TNA is good at the moment tho not great but good

No offence, but I dont think TNA is anywhere near where they were in 2005. They have basically become another WWE, and that is what turned me against them. I'll admit, they did improve a little since Hard Justice, but they just dont know who to push. Why not have Joe vs Angle the final battle at BFG for the World Title!?? I just dont get it, you build up Joe to a boiling point and then they dont give us the pay off with him winning the title!! Bottom line is, TNA has improved in the quality of wrestling, but they're booking still needs much improvement
