Nope. Despite Wrestling Station's best abilties, he couldn't get his buddies and relatives to shoot straight enough.
ISLAM FAIL (as usual).
I'm guessing they're going to try and use established names to help the younger names this time. WCW died because no one stood out.
They will hopefully deliver something fresh. They used Sting to make BFG his event and now maybe they'll bring a fresh main event. WWE is using Edge, Batista, and Cena in main events again! At least there's no Triple H.

The thing is, they aren't. They are usuing these established guys just to get ratings and quite a bit of the spotlight. Sure, Ric Flair being around AJ is going to get him noticed but he doesn't even need Flair. He was already a star.
Hall, Nash, Waltman...guys like that are getting far more TV time than they should.
^^No. Flair can still bump and run. He can probably still wrestle better than half the X division. Hogan can barely walk and can't drop the leg anymore. There's a noticeable difference. Of course they're no Terry Funk...
The Carters pockets run deep. Actually, Panda Energy is worth over 10 times WWE. But not a lot of that money goes to TNA. I think they have a limit to how much money they can lose in a year before the pull the plug.
I don't think WCW and TNA are really that similar. Also to clarify some things, Hogan doesn't really have the power, Eric does. And Eric is not a fool. I think TNA has a better chance at lasting longer than WCW, because they are coming at WWE secondly, they can look at WCW's mistakes and avoid them.
Not if the same guys were in charge as last time, and they didn't learn anything from their past mistakes. Someone said somewhere else, that that handful of guys only know how to run a show one way and that is what essentially caused the decline of WCW. The same things will happen to TNA if they go with the same formula and expect a different result.
Don't you see? It's WCW's second chance.
The spokesman for the apocalypse has spoken.
I agree at some points made in this thread, but I also disagree with a lot of it.
First, I dont understand why Hogan put himself in the main story-line of the show. The whole deal is just not interesting. Abyss feeling "the force" in the ring? I didnt like Abyss to begin with, and this certainly didnt make me change my opinion about the guy. AJ and Flair together, sure, having Flair being AJ's mentor would make sense. AJ trying to be a copy of Flair does not.
I know there's a PPV coming up "dedicated" to the X-division, but this is something they need to realize people want to see on a regular basis, and make the division interesting again. Hell, the X-Division is what made me interested in TNA in the first place, and Im sure plenty of other people discovered TNA the exact same way.
I also believe that A LOT of dead weight needs to be cut off. As it is right now, it seemed like Hogan promised everyone he knows a spot on the roster when he went to TNA. Nasty Boys, Shannon Moore, Sean Morley among others are people who can go away for all I care.
The women's division needs more focus as well. I've always praised the women in TNA for their actual wrestling skills, and I find it ten times more entertaining than the women in WWE, where honestly, 70% doesn't belong in a wrestling ring.
I know a lot of people complained when they removed the 6-sided ring and replaced it with 4 sides. Personally, I didnt mind that. What I do mind though, is that stupid ramp leading to the ring. I also hate how tight the space between the ring and guard rail is. When wrestlers do suicide dives now, they have to hold back, or else they'll fly right into the crowd.
The new titantron is cool though, and how they replaced the tunnels with the stairs coming up from the ground looks really awesome.
I think TNA really needs a second show. As of now, their roster is too packed to give everyone air-time.
So yeah, although TNA has some flaws right now, I still find it more enjoyable to watch than WWE nowadays. Im positive that in time, TNA will get more settled and actually give the WWE some competition.
