If you're a disgruntled WWE fan but don't watch TNA.... Why?

[seabs]

Serious question as I never understood why people complain about the current WWE direction but won't see the alternative as a viable option either.

 

[Farooq]

Because from what I see people talk shit about TNA saying Hogan ruined it, had Russo, etc. so I see some won't watch it because of that rumors. As for people here I do not understand either.

 

[Bort]

Because people are lazy boneheads.

TNA is a good product, but I'm never inclined to watch the show. When I'm watching it I feel like I'm watching something that's second rate. Then there's the fact that I'd be watching wrestling 3-4 times a week. I watch the show here & there, but it never makes me go "oh i need to watch it next week". I've been watching WWE for years, so it's not like I'm just gonna up and go to a new program. It's like asking someone to eat healthy food when they're used to McDonalds.

I think it all comes down to people being afraid to leave their comfort zone, also some laziness since why should they make an effort to search for new product when they know when WWE airs and how much product they have?

It's kind of the stigma WCW had in the early 90s. WWE dominated the 80s in the mainstream. WCW didn't gain any real steam until the Hogan signing in 94. That made WWE fans pay attention and was the precursor to the Monday night wars. Imagine right now if Cena or Punk jump ship to TNA. They would immediately gain a huge spike in ratings, and expose millions to their product, who otherwise wouldn't have tuned in. In conclusion, TNA will not gain many peripheral fans unless they can coerce a huge name from WWE to switch sides.

Cause they automatically assume it sucks, which is stupid cause they never watched the product...
Or they're in it for the entertainment rather than wrestling.

Anyway, on topic. I really don't get this either, it's even sillier when they bash TNA without even watching the product. TNA is much more entertaining a lot of the time, and even their weaker shows are more interesting than a lot of the crap that happens on Raw.
I guess people just don't want to give it a chance and stick with the bigger (and shittier) product.

Just human nature I guess, people buy whatever is popular instead of whatever is quality.

 

[arianna]

Oh goodness. :harvey:

 

[Leo C]

I personally watch. For some time I didn't though, probably because I personally lack iniciative to do new stuff.

 

[Crayo]

Stereotypes. It used to be cool (and still is sort of) to hate on TNA in the IWC, it's pathetic. But more and more people are switching over due to the lacklustre WWE product.

 

[Farooq]

It's not just TNA to me though why not watch other stuff. If WWE really sucks why sit there and have that as your only fix of "wrestling." Why not go to somewhere like Ring of Honor, I haven't seen the IWC make fun of it or insult it, or many others. Even CZW has more hardcore wrestling that I hear a good amount of people want, so why not go there as well?

Most people are attracted to the WWE because of the shock-factor storylines. RoH doesn't give you that. Your best alternative to WWE if you're a WWE fan is definitely TNA, in my opinion.
