TNA Upholding a double standard.

[J]

OhhhhhhK so for those of you who listen to the podcast you probably already heard me and Chessarmy have a sort of discussion about this. I don't know if this has been stated yet but this is my main complaint with TNA.

So basically about a year ago we see MMG in a match against the Dudly's where MMG refused to go along with the match for the fact that they refused to blade. So TNA management trying to make an example of WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DISOBEY THEM basically depushes MMG to the bag of the line in TNA.

Now a few months later we see the return of Sting in what is supposed to be a feud finding him as the heel. Sting does a good job getting the heat until the next week when he goes out to to piss the fans off. Instead Sting is greeted by cheering so what does he goes. He turns himself face basically throwing off a whole planned feud.

So my question is why should a tag team get depushed for refusing to do something they are against. But yet a wrestler can go out and completely change a story line just because he feels he doesn't want to be a face and what punishment does he find, none. So basically TNA is making it look like you can do whatever you want in TNA as long as your a huge name, which is wrong.

Maybe they should change there slogan to "Sick of Vince McMahon, come to TNA, we'll practically let you run the company".

Ps-I'm not good at putting thoughts in to writing. But if you heard the podcast you already know what I'm saying and even so you should be able to get the basis of my point from what I have said.

Because Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin are NOT Sting, and they're not making the kind of money that Sting is.

Like him or not, Sting is a legend in the business, and he's going to be treated as such. The Guns are talented, but in the grand scheme of things they've done nothing, so they get punished when they refuse to do something.

Besides, Sting more than likely has a clause in his contract that allows him to either accept or reject any ideas from the writers and/or bookers.

^ A creative control contract, I think thats what those are called lol.

but yea, I agreed with you on the Podcast and I'm going to agree once again. Sure, Sting is a legend but The Motor City Machine Guns are the future of TNA, they are misusing their best tag team on the roster because of something stupid. Ok, they don't want to blade...so what? They aren't hardcore wrestlers, maybe they just don't believe in that stuff.

As for Sting, I guess we can complain all we want but as SP said, he is Sting, he has creative control and there is nothing we can do about it. The guy paid his dues, I guess he can do whatever he wants now

Blading shouldn't be a reason. I for one believe that Blading should be done if the wrestler is willing to blade. For the fact that MCMG are getting depushed for that is bullshit. Now let's go to Sting, even if he is a legend he should already know by now, what to do in the wrestling bussiness. I think it ruined his chances of becoming champion by fucking up the storyline.

TNA punishes MCMG for not blading, but they don't fire Angle for making himself look like a complete ass everytime he opens his mouth?

Angle did bash TNA's booking team (Not that they don't suck.) They don't fire angle. MCMG doesn't do something that shouldn't really matter in the eyes of the TNA fans unless it something that can cuase blood if nailed hard enough, and they get depushed.

I Wonder what would happen if TNA's John Cena (Matt Morgan) refuses to put Team 3-D over. :g:

Yea but my point is that's not how a company should be ran. What do you think would happen if Edge was supposed to go out and cut a face promo and then started telling them how much he loved him. He'd be jobbing to Funaki the next week. A company should be able to tell a superstar to do something and have him do it. No if ands or butts.

^Agreed

Sting was being unprofessional and should pay for it.
