Question why do TNA "haters" watch TNA anyway I mean no offence to some guys on the forum but guys like Angryphilip always moan and complain about TNA shows. They moan about Impact and say how crappy it is, moan about PPV which means they actually pay for the PPV just to complain about it as the hurricane would say Watsupwitdat. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but it sounds a bit stupid to me anyway there are some guys who criticizes TNA and respect their opinion like Travis, FFG and Montana who make good points then there are just haters like AngryPhilip who just moan and moan anyway I ask the question why Watch and buy their PPVs when you know you are not going to like it???

Well, same can be said for WWE. Im not a WWE hater, but I currently dont care for the product. Like Ive said before, by no means do I hate the WWE, but I just dont enjoy the show. I think thats what AngryPhil is doing. I cant really speak for him, but I think thats what all of them do. If you actually hate a show, and still watch it, then you seriously need to contemplate suicide as a career option

They dont have to hate all the show, They may watch it because there favorite wrestler is on the show, plus if they dont watch it they will never know if it is getting better and is more what they like.

I rag on TNA a lot, but still watch their shows from time to time. Why? Because I want to see the product succeed. However, that isn't happeing at the moment due to various factors - pretty much everyone agrees the booking in TNA terrible and the influx of former WWE stars is an issue for many. I agree that full-on TNA haters should should watching/complaining about the product, but people moan, it's what we're made for.

Because they just want to watch wrestling, and other than WWE, its the only thing on TV. I'm neither a TNA nor WWE sheep, but I watch both products with expectations that it's good, but sometimes I get disappointed.

Basically, its free wrestling on a Thursday night. I'll watch ANY wrestling show on a school night for that matter. Now, I do think TNA has improved a little recently, and thats good, but I would have watched them regardless because there are always oppurtunities for companies to improve.

So yeah, as long as any wrestling is not on a weekend or Friday night there's a good chance I'll be watching it.

I'm not really a TNA hater, I just dont watch it much. But when I do watch it, I watch it for a good match to be shown and some good storytelling. Too bad the story telling isn't that great. I don't know where theyre going right now, Samoa Joe should've been champion by now.

Im not ragging on anyone inparticular, but what do you Joe fans find so great about a 280 lbs stretchmark flying around on your TV screen. Honestly? Can someone please telll me what they find enjoyable about that. And all of his promos leave my ears hurting like hell b/c he yells goes from a quite fucking voice and then yells so god damn loud. Hoesntly, please explain

Samoa Joe seems kind of bland to me....I really can't get into him as a wrestler. Maybe it's because I only know him from watching TNA. I'm sure a lot of you know him better from Ring of Honor and what not.

In TNA, I don't think his promos come off very well, they just don't seem to flow very well. I'll admit that I did like some of his feud with Angle, but I felt he was just made to look like an idiot in the thing with Karen Angle. He must have been the only one not to see that coming.

Again, like peepshow, I would like to hear from the educated people on this matter, and find out what is so great about Samoa Joe

His promos annoy the shit out of me. He alternatives from low to high pitch voice like he's some emotionally confused disabled kid.

He wrestles one of the best strong, stiff styles in years, and it is a style that mostly has been sorely absent in North American (mainstream) wrestling for the better part of a decade. Its really been the booking thats held him back match wise, IMO. I still don't think TNA is the right place for him, though he did have a very good match with Christian at No Surrender.

I've said it before, I don't give a shit what he looks like as long as he can still peform at a high level. Admittedly, his promos could use some work, I'll grant you that. Anyway, most people who have seen his ROH work have loved it, but again, you may be some of the minority that doesn't and thats fine.
