TNA rating blows...again.

[The Rated R CMStar]

How are they acting like they were already going to beat Raw. Besides Hogan (who's opinion on anything wrestling related lost credibility a long time ago) all the higher ups know they aren't going to beat Raw right now. They've done countless interviews on the ratings topic. They say it's going to take time to get up higher. Be real, they were getting 1.1 - 1.3 on thrusday. They are going up against the top wrestling promotion in the US now. How the fuck were they going to beat them right away going against competion?

As I said before Raw had Austin coming back, 3 Mania main event rematches, and the Vince/Bret thing advertised. All TNA had was Styles/Hardy advertised. Think reasonably, which show are more people to watch?

Personally, I think Raw doesnt' even need to stack the show to beat TNA. But them stacking it obviously played a factor.

The thing is, you listen to Dixie Carter. Sure, she says it's going to take time and she's throwing the "people watch us in DVR" white flag already, but she only does it after she sees she got beaten. As for Hogan, sadly, he's the top dog in there, so even if what he says lost credibility, stands as the opinion of TNA in general.


I am just saying, TNA should at had at least gotten 1.1, their ratings from Thursday. It's not like they didn't stack the show themselves. It was the first match backfor the supposedly biggest second draw in wrestling after John Cena, Jeff Hardy (just goes to show you WWE can really build anybody into stardom)...and their go to show for Destination X.

There is no war. There never was any war. Until TNA become as big as WWE, there is no promotion war. Rivalry, yes. War? No.

Step 1. Fire Russo

Step 2. Fire Dixie

Step 3. Get Hogan and Flair out of the Ring. Get Hogan away from television. He has made his presence known, now he is just being shoved down our throats.

Step 4. Build your wrestlers. Why must guys like Joe, Daniels, Wolfe, Pope, Anderson, and Angle be put on the backburner for Autistic Abyss, Jarrett and Hogan. TNA has such a sweet roster that the combinations of feuds should be near endless. Now with RVD and Jeff added to that, TNA has even MORE talent. Use it please.

We've heard all the excuses for TNA. Maybe they should have waited until Wrestlemania was over. Maybe they should start at 8:00. Maybe they should have promoted it better. When it comes down it to, maybe they shouldn't put on shitty shows.

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

TNA's biggest problem is they don't know what they're doing. Their first Monday show did, what, a 1.3 or 1.5? And that was because they were locked and stocked with big names debuting. And their second show did .98 because they had some more names, and the show was so awful 25% of the people tuned out by main event time, and if I a betting man, I'd bet it was because the show was absolute garbage and Hogan was horribly over exposed. It wasn't because Raw had the superior product.

Then this past Monday many of those people who tuned out the week before just didn't bother tuning in at all, not because Raw was stack and had Austin, but because they didn't want to bother with another garbage show, hence their highest quarter hour didn't even eclipse last week's average. And yea, Raw has somewhat of an effect, but Impact in all three Monday shows has deteriorated in ratings because of the awful booking isn't reason enough for viewers to stick around if there are no big names to debut.

Sadly, if the ratings continue to dwindle the way they are, and they probably will since TNA shows no interest in booking an entertaining show that makes sense, they really don't stand a chance even after WrestleMania, which is starting to look like a convenient excuse more than fact. The actual culprit looks more and more like what it's always been with TNA; garbage booking and storylines and reliance on guys who's drawing ability dies a little more with every year they're still working. No one ever gave a shit about Jeff Jarrett, Hogan's draw has decreased every decade since the 80's, Sting was always more of a Bret Hart draw than a Hogan draw, the nWo guys are old or fat or derelicts or a combination of the three and no one really cares, RVD and Hardy have been so horribly promoted, if even at all, that no one is aware and the only young talent that is really getting pushed is a fat, Blue "monster" that isn't even a decent worker anymore and is booked to work like Hogan with a HoF ring giving him his power. Maybe he should see if that fucking ring will work with Flair's like the WonderTwin rings, "Wondertwin powers activate! Form of a good worker! Shape of a good promotion!"
