^^ I just love that there slogan at the start of every show is "We Are Wrestling" and its Total Non-Stop Action which has always been the TNA Fan battle cry of why its better then WWE, but all we see now a days is fifty billion promos with Angle pimping out his wife and enjoying while JB figuretivly strokes his ego. Wheres the Total Non-Stop Action? And Where's the Wrestling? To me TNA isn't any better then WWE as it relates to dumb gimmicks, stupid promos, and so on.

^Exactly. I think it would make a lot of sense to have like 2 promos a night or so and just have a ton of wrestling, like I dunno maybe have Total Non-Stop Action. If they're going to have a bunch of promos that are below WWE standards as far as promos are concerned, then what is the point of watching that instead of the WWE? It seems to me that they are losing what they're whole purpose of starting this promotion in the first place is.

well i havent watch tna since august. cause of there angles and Promo.. LAX/Team 3D storyline was one thing that put me off it.. Look at lAX now..

This group in 2006/2007 was an money Making tag team/stable...

But I don't Know.. I still watch wweand in my mind.. WWE could produce much much better shows than what they are writing...

But TNA has alot of great talent i like.. But it isnt the wrestlers fault.. there trying there best at the crap the writers are throwing at them...

didn't tna put on there site they beat ecw in the ratings again...

Because beating ECW isn't really an accomplishment (it would be saying back in the day WCW beat Heat/Velocity/metal/shot gun in the ratings).... TNA should of be beating them in the ratings 2 yrs ago.. at the moment should be targetting smackdown ratings....

That is great news.

im not gonna lie i find some of the stuff TNA does to be really funny. but at the end of the day i always want more of a wrestling based show like TNA once was.

hopefully sonjay will lose his guru gimmick and he and lethal will start there feud after lethal gets the belt back from devine and maybe this won't be a 1 time push for petey and some of the more talented guys will get pushed now and we will have better matches.

but i would say keep shark boy with his austin gimmick beings he will have some dumb gimmick either way and i like the ausin one myself so yeah.

^As you watch the segments, you do tend to laugh, but after I keep thinking about it more and more, why do we? I mean seriously, in context, it isn't funny at all. Why poke fun at Austin? I mean seriously, what is the point? What did he do so wrong? Just doesn't make much sense to me. I sure hope that serious approach starts really soon.

This is great. I mean, a little comedy is fine once in a while, but the main events and the main fueds shouldnt be centered around comedy...it is what ruined Joe/Angle and many more fueds to come. Hopefully they have a more serious approach, and I'm sure that will attract more fans

I don't think I'm laughing at austin, I'm laughing because shark boy is talking like austin - they're such opposite characters.

^I know we are not laughing at Austin. Why would we be? That's my point? Why make Sharkboy talk like Austin though? It's just so random. It's like TNA is trying to make fun of Austin. In context, it's not funny.

I think part of the reason TNA is doing this is to get advertising in the form of WWE mocking them. Think about it, WWE goes out of their way not to ever mention TNA. But this way, Austin gets all "Wow, TNA is full of fuckwads and shittards to pull a stunt like this." The people stalking Austin get all "Omg I have to see what our leader told me to hate!" Boom, new viewers.

What? Stone Cold says something, anything, and people will read about it. That's word of mouth advertising, and whether what he says is good or bad, TNA gets publicity at no cost. I really don't appreciate being ridiculed for pointing out a fairly simple advertising principle.
