Tna always have this people where there are no heels or faces, and the wrestler can be heel for a week and face the week. Other than the Christian coalition and the Abyss/Sting feud, most of the wrestlers don't have a specific line in between. What I'm asking is, should TNA have clearly defined heels and faces?

No, I think wrestling should try to move forward with the times and give the characters more realistic attitudes. With no distinctive "line" between good or bad (much like in real life) then a wrestler's character could really evolve, much more so if he was straight up heel or face.

I dont see what everyone is talking about with this, Angle is clearly heel he praised himself for weeks after Slammy and people still didnt get it. This week really turned the heel leaf for him. Joe is obviously face, the tag division is the same thing.

Faces
Dutt and Lethal
Steiners
VKM
and now LAX

Heels
3D, turned after VR
MCMG

The only real tweeners i can see are Triple X but thats just because they haven't been in a real feud, im pretty sure they're heel but we'll most likely find out at HJ with the triple tag match.

^ Yeah of course i was just thinking off the top of my head.

The point I'm trying to make is TNA is actually doing a good job of this, the only question like i said is Triple X but imo they're 90% heel.

Then Kazarian is face while Raven is heel

HOw could VKM be face when they actually attacked Christy Hemme first? LAX has been heel before Konnan left wheres the face turn? And before Scott got injured the Steiners were heel and 3d face and when he comes back everything changes? It just doesn't make sense and that's what I'm driving at.

I was merely saying that I think wrestling SHOULD head in the direction where heels and faces aren't clearly defined, I never said TNA was going that route.

Lance Hoyt turned on VKM there's the double switch as Christy's now heel. LAX is a tougher one but the way i see it when they came down to save the Steiners that was a turn. After VR 3D turned heel, did you not see that? Steiner almost died, that does not give heel heat. However it looks like it's Steiners and LAX vs. heels 3D and VKM, the only problem is i dont know where they're going

That's why TNA is so awesome because it isn't that thought out, most guys aren't clearly defined, it adds to your TNA experience. Like Team 3D, even though they were supposed to be face for months, everyone boo'd them, wrestling should never be defined by heel and face, the audience should decide if they are heel or face sometimes, it would become more exciting.

At least when the crowd turns on wrestlers they turn them Heel (Team 3D). I sort of agree with this because I am unsure about LAX and XXX if they are heels or faces. The rest of the roster has been devided well though, I think TNA needs to focus on givning us a face World Champion because the last couple have all been heels

Yeah, Triple X are sort of in the Tweener category, they are Heel-ish with their behavior/match tactics but the crowd loves them.

(EDIT- 500th POST!!! w00t woot!!!!)

XXX are tweeners, and they're about to feud with MCMG, who I think are tweeners too. So it really is confusing how 3d, steiner, lax and vkm can just all change in a month. And i think this battle will result in a 4-way feud for the title after joe or angle loses it.
