I'm slowly coming back

[chessarmy]

Earlier this year, I wasn't happy with the TNA product. As a matter of fact, I hated it. TNA sucked, and it wasn't getting any better. However, it seems that with Slammiversary coming up, the creative team has decided to step it up and right now TNA is putting on a more entertaining product than WWE. There are reasons for this listed below:

Raven/Abyss/Stevie: I am very interested to see what match transpires out of this. I would love to see a hardcore match between Raven and Abyss, only time will tell what happens though. The good part is, TNA has me hooked.

Tara vs The Beautiful People: Tara is bringing something fresh to a very stale Knockouts division. She is the official replacement for Gail Kim, and a great one at that. Victoria is a phenomenal womens wrestler who I expect to make a huge impact in the Knockouts division. I don't think she's going to win the title at Slammiversary, but I'm sure her feud with Mi Pi Sexy will be drawn out just enough to be enjoyable. Either way, the Knockouts division is about to boom again

Who is Suicide?: Even the X-Division has an interesting storyline going on. Who is Suicide? Will they reveal him as Kaz? Or will he never be revealed? I'm looking forward to what the payoff will be for this angle

Slammiversary *******: The card for this PPV looks awesome so far, I expect the two King of the Mountain matches to be absolutely crazy, I can't fucking wait!

Sting's the leader of the MEM: Now that Sting is the leader of the Main Event Mafia, one has to wonder whether or not Angle and the rest of the stable will form some kind of plan to kick the Icon out.

Samoa Joe wants Angle: This is the best storyline TNA has going. Joe has so much momentum right now, maybe even more than when he won the World Title last year. The Nation of Violence gimmick started out terrible, but its grown on me and the rest of the TNA fans I'm sure. Joe is a true badass again, and with

joining him soon as his adviser, things are only going to get better. Not to mention, TNA is building up another Angle/Joe match. Sure, its been done before, but every time Joe and Angle step inside the 6 sided ring they put on a great match so I won't complain.

Overall, TNA is getting back on track and I'm slowly getting into it again. With so many interesting storylines to follow, how can I not?

Thoughts?

I'm loving it right now and so want the PPV. Bad thing is I just got the WWE one so I doubt I can get this one also. Maybe TNA won't crack down on the streams and I can see the PPV. I agree the Raven/Abyss/Stevie thing is great. The fact my favorite knockout Daffney is also tied in with it makes it that much better for me and the Sucide thing is going well. Also the Tag Division in TNA is getting better I mean its been good don't get me wrong but I'm loving where its going. The NOV is still something I'm a little meh on. I don't hate it but I'm not fully into it just yet. Maybe once

gets there I'll be 100% for it. But I agree TNA is getting better.

Just when everyone counted Samoa Joe out he turned shit into gold! He should lose the paint and get his athletic tights back but other than that the "madman" owns. A good booking strategy would be Win title at Slammiversary, turn heel and beat the living hell out of his advisor the day he's revealed, and feud with AJ leading into BFG.

Eric Young is very impressive right now as well. It seems like all of their heels are aiming for laughs and he's the one guy who's serious. The guy has breakout superstar written all over him and I don't know how his character didn't take this direction years ago.

TNA is clicking right now and with Raw looking like it is, things could look very good for this company if they keep things up. TNA is usually the 2nd most or most entertaining show of the week (with ECW). I can't wait for Slammiversary.

2 gripes though. Turn MCMG face and push Amazing Red plz.

^ I don't know about the Guns turning babyface. Sure, the fans should be cheering for them but at the same time, I think both Sabin and Shelley have been great with their current characters.

Those 2 are great with any characters. But they still play to the crowd during their matches and the crowd is cheering for them all the time anyway, it just makes whoever they're up against look bad because MCMG gets cheered too much. (Unless Shelley says, "I want to punch all the fans in the face!" >_>)

TNA definetly got better than what it was earlier in the year. I agree with mainly everything you said chess; But out of everything I like the Raven/Stevie/Abyss fued the best.

Joe definetly stepped up, the first blood match on Impact was really good. TNA often throws out stipulation matches [I think everyone knows that] but seeings how Joe needs to take out everyone in MEM this match was needed.

Slammiversary looks really good. I might even call my cable company and see if it's possible to rent ppv's without having directtv, etc.
