if tna is better then how come wwe can pull in tens of thousands of fans at cards, yet tna doesnt get a building big enough to hold that many people for bfg. because they know it wouldnt sell out

Exactly. TNA hasnt even sold 1,000 tickets to their next PAY PER VIEW!!!

Ticket sells and buy-rates are all a sign of widespread popularity, it doesn't measure the level the product. If Britney Spears outsells her competition, does that mean shes the best singer in the world? Exactly...

Again its all a matter of personal preference, there is no "right" or "wrong" answers.

I swear I sometimes feel as if I'm the only person on this forum with common sense. You guys argue and fight for bullshit reasons. Watch wrestling, be happy, and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Deflection from a person who knows im right. Try sticking to the point. If you can keep up that is....

Whats with your obsession with always "being right"

You remind me of some kind of "smart" control freak TV character... Menkis from Boy Meets World or the Blue Ranger lol

Remember Pinky & The Brain :shifty:

The question should really be...

ECW vs TNA: Which is better?

I think TNA might have ECW beat.

ECW is better in my honest opinion. As long as ECW keeps CM Punk, their ratings will beat TNA. If only they didnt toss Dreamer, Sandman, and Sabu aside -.-*

You mad? Hey blueberry, the point of professional wrestling IS TO MAKE FUCKING MONEY! You go to Jerry Jarrett, Gabe Supalski (sp), Vince McMahon, or any other promoter, and they will tell you, they are in it for ONE reason, to make money. It's been this way FOREVER. This isn't about artistic expression, like say music, because these people arent living in the moment. They are robots going through a script trying to "give the fans what they want" so they will come back and what....BUY MORE TICKETS!! Are you seriously that fucking stupid?

You mad? If you are so much smarter than everyone else, if you have so much more common sense, if you are so detached from it all, why do you bother getting into these arguments? Why do you come to these parts of the forums? Because you're not, now take your own advice and shut the fuck up.

It's not an obsession, it's a fact.

Now I'm a blueberry? WOW, You really are too smart for your own good. Of course wrestling is about making money, but the amount of money a wrestling organization doesn't speak volumes on the product itself. Look at Basketball, the NO Hornets are one of the lowest grossing teams, ticket sells are mediocre, merchandise doesn't sell, and this is all before the Hurricane...I guess the higher grossing teams like the Heat (won about 10 games all season) are better because they make more money...Right?

Read your own comment and ask yourself that very question. I mean you are the one who chose to go the name calling route... You're losing hair over an internet topic which you have no control over :laugh: YOU MAD? Thanks for using my catchphrase, they say imitation is the highest form of flattery.

The obsession continues. Please tell me, does saying "I'm right" on a wrestling forum make you feel better about yourself? Reaching tbh

Kaedons sig said:
IWF Award Winner
Best Columnist (mid year 2007)
Best Debator (mid year 2007)

I just answered my own question, we all know how great of an accomplishment an IWF award is.


Everyone stand up and applaud Kaedon for being the only IWF member with a receding ponytail.

It speaks THAT IT IS MAKING THE MOST MONEY, which is the point. Are you dumb?

Faulty logic. Wrestling isn't a real competition. ITS FAKE. ITS A WORK. There is no dissernable skill level. Nigel McGuinness and HHH can not go out to the ring and have a match to prove who is better, ITS FAKE. Kobe and Allen Iverson, on the other hand, CAN go out on national TV, have a one on one game and prove who is better. Try again.

Oh because I am the only one who acts a little arrogant?

I swear I sometimes feel as if I'm the only person on this forum with common sense.

Then what is this?

You guys argue and fight for bullshit reasons. Watch wrestling, be happy, and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
and that?

But thats not the question at hand, we're discussing which promotion has the better product, unless I somehow missed the memo.

I understand that, but what does this have to do with the overall product. Everyone knows wrestling is fake. Does that mean I cant compare the two? If a product is better, so be it. Real or fake, it really doesn't matter.

You're not acting arrogant, you're acting like a control freak. You post in cycles. First its a bunch of numbers that nobody in their right state of mind cares about. Next it's about how your always right and everyone else is wrong, and then comes the name calling.


Then what is this?
and that?

Once again you're reaching. I really don't understand how telling people to watch wrestling and be happy can be perceived as arrogance...If I'm not mistaken, Mike made a post similar to this not too long ago so I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.

:laugh:

The funny thing about this entire argument is the fact that I never said one product was better than the other. Both have faults, but arguing about it wont solve anything. See, Me & Kaedon just wasted all this typing, and we've gotten nowhere :sad:

...Looks like Team Rockets blasting off AGGGGAAAAIIIINNNNnnnnnn....*ding*

That makes absolutely no sense. If they tell you YOU SUCK DICK, guess what, THEY ARE INTO IT! If they are into it, you are doing your job. The 20,000 fans who fall asleep for the Chris Masters match are the fans who you listen to because they are the ones who are giving the right response. They dont want him on there, and they are showing it by leaving to get gimmicks or beer or falling asleep. The idiots who sit there and scream at the top of their lungs THIS MATCH SUCKS, THIS MATCH SUCKS, they are emotionally involved in the match, which is the goal of every match. If 20,000 people are falling asleep for an American Dragon/Amazing Red match, they aren't having as good a match as they or the 100 out of 20,000 fucking think. It is WAY EASIER to give less people what they want or get them involved than it is 20,000.

We both made our points. There's no right or wrong. I prefer smaller venues and that's why I disagreed.

Now, your posts reek of arrogance and elitism. It's my observation. I felt it necessary to add the little comment on the bottom because you referred to me as a mongoloid in so many words. Don't try so hard from here on out.

Oh, using mark or mark out makes you a less ignorant buffoon. Not a former wrestling fan.

Yes and the better product, in this case, is determined by how many people watch it. You cant judge skill in a WORKED SPORT.


I understand that, but what does this have to do with the overall product. Everyone knows wrestling is fake. Does that mean I cant compare the two? If a product is better, so be it. Real or fake, it really doesn't matter.
You can do whatever you want, it makes it a bad comparison because they are two completely different animals. You might as well say "which is better, Orange Juice or the color blue?"


You're not acting arrogant, you're acting like a control freak. You post in cycles. First its a bunch of numbers that nobody in their right state of mind cares about. Next it's about how your always right and everyone else is wrong, and then comes the name calling.
More faulty logic, how am I acting like a control freak? A control freak wants.....CONTROL. I don't want to control anyone or anything but myself.


Once again you're reaching. I really don't understand how telling people to watch wrestling and be happy can be perceived as arrogance...If I'm not mistaken, Mike made a post similar to this not too long ago so I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.
You didnt say "watch wrestling and be happy" you said "I swear Im the only one with common sense here" thus saying you are smarter, thus showing arrogance. Try again.

And Enig, they may reek of arrogance to you and others but I dont really give a fuck what you think about me, or anyone else who isnt family or friends for that matter. I am not better than anyone for knowing what I know, I just have a broader perspective when it comes to wrestling.

And there is a right and wrong answer to our argument, it is not an opinion. It is a FACT that by and large, pleasing smaller amounts of people is a lot easier than pleasing more. That's why bands get called "sell outs" because their inbred blueberry fans think they were abandoned. The small club of 300 people loves metal, loves metal, loves metal. The band only reaches those 300 people playing metal because the rest of the people could care less because they dont like what the band has to offer. But god damn it, those 300 people love metal. But the second that band changes and tries to please a wider audience with different things, acoustic guitars, female guest singers, etc. those 300 fans desert them because they are a small hardcore group of fans who want ONE THING from this band. Where is the mainstream public wants 500,000 different things from this band.


Oh and yes, if you use the term "mark" or "mark out" in a derogatory term, yes, you are no longer a wrestling fan. If you think you are better than someone because they are a "mark" and you "mark out" only when it's cool to do so, you are no longer a fan, you're on the smark bandwagon. For a "common sense professional" you sure are stupid.

Control!?!

You bite off anyones head that doesn't agree with what you say. You name call and then get on people when they name call back.

What a Mark!?! OooooO Snap I'm no longer a wrestling fan!?!
