TNA Rebrand Discussion Thread

[Comrade Khan]

Was hoping to read some stuff about the presser but instead we get someone shitting on everything for no reason

if Deezy is talking shit about a product you enjoy, that product is doing something right

 

[Leon TrotSky]

As for belts, hoping to see, in particular, something based on the White Crown Belt (what I'm calling the old Knockouts Title)

The presser did get posted by Chris. Got some great stuff from Scott talking about the promotion the Jarrett’s and Bob Ryder thought of when they were on their fishing trip that day and that’s the company that he wants to honor going forward.

I’m happy to see them going back to the TNA name. I watched BFG and I throughly enjoyed it, Ospreay vs Bailey was my favorite match. Call your shot BR was a lot of fun too, I popped for the return of the Broski, the Indy God Matt Cardona.

I’m gonna make an effort to watch the shows weekly.

 

[Deezy]

For once in your life take your L and move on.

First off, your first comment made it sound like the same people saying loltna are the same people saying yaytna. They’re not. Anyone that hates TNA like yourself is still gonna hate TNA. I can guarantee you anyone that’s excited about the return for TNA didn’t like TNA when it was on. Nostalgia isn’t a disease you catch. You had to have always liked it to be nostalgic for it today.

Secondly, most of you lolTNA probably hadn’t watched TNA in like fucking ages if ever. They were never the people that had ever actually watched nor are they the people that Scott is trying to appeal to now. Scott D’Amore even addressed the TNA criticisms of the past in his life today and he point blank said he’s done apologizing for the past mistake of previous regimes. This is a new era.

And regardless, it’s completely irrelevant because I can guarantee you more people today talk shit about the state of current day impact wrestling. There is zero positive upside to sticking with an objectively less popular and less marketable branding.

No one is gonna stop you from saying lolTNA to your heart’s content, but your not the demographic.

I said TNA was synonymous with LOLTNA......which it was.

You used your own anecdotal booshit to act like that wasn't a thing......which it was.

Who's the one not taking an L and moving on?

And I made a joke about nostalgia being a powerful thing and was ready to just leave it there, again you were the one making a mountain out of a molehill because anything you deem bad said about shit you like means it's somehow a direct attack on you.

And yeah, us "lolTNA" guys stopped watching because it was a joke and you know what else? Us "lolTNA" guys would hardly ever talk about TNA.

Go figure.

I did notice that, was going to post a tweet thread about the presser before I noticed Chris had beaten me to it

Good to see someone who actually cares about Wrestling

At what point does it pass "difference of opinion" and become "just being a troll"? Asking for a friend

 

[Smart Marx]

Bro, no you fucking didn’t. You literally said lolTNa now yaytna. Making a direct comparison to the same people. I’ve already provided you with actual facts that your entire nonsense is completely irrelevant so please do us a favor and get the fuck out of this thread.

 

[Smart Marx]

This also might get the award for the biggest lie I’ve ever seen posted on a wrestling board ever. That wasn’t ever said by me. I have acknowledged in every post that loltna existed. It just isn’t the same people that like TNA nor is the people saying yay tna nor is it as big as you like to believe that it was. Certainly not a big enough of a reason to stick with a brand that’s objectively less popular. Sticking with impact wrestling would make zero sense if that was your argument because impact wrestling gets dunked on far harder than lolTNA ever was a thing. Now

depends who you ask. I personally think all he does is troll and start shit but yknow, that's just me and I don't have much of a tolerance for this shit lol

Dude thrives off starting bullshit, wanting to be right, then playing the victim later. Just kick him out of the thread.

only thing I disagree with is the last thing, I don't think impact got shit on much anymore, simply because...no one even t alked about impact at all for a long time until very recently,. ppl kind of just stopped talking about it. thats why we had sky doing solo LDs for a long ass time

I was riding solo from early pandemic to literally the week before Kenny Omega mentioned Impact on AEW. Chris showed up at the perfect time

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Yeah it's crazy how COVID pretty much killed most companies, and Impact maybe got the worst of it out of everyone.

I’m talking about from 2017 to today. Impact wrestling was like the biggest joke ever in 2017 because they went from a loose branding of impact wrestling to a Hard Impact Wrestling to GFW back to impact wrestling all in the same year.

They also failed to properly secure the GFW rights and fired Jeff Jarrett in the middle of that process, which was a huge story that people constantly dumped on them for it. There was also the incident with Alberto being fired while he was a champion. There was a debacle where they got kicked off of Twitch.

I think the product the last couple years has also been talked well about people actually watch but that’s my point though is that the people shit on the company are never the people that watch it and anytime somebody talks an someone signing with impact it’s met with tremendous mockery. I see it many times over the last couple years. Trust and believe impact is a great laugh currently today in 2023, unfortunately. I remember specifically when Nick Aldis went there. People were hooting and hollering for like a good week.
