some news and rumours in TNA

Two more titles max, but thats with two hours. With one hour, leave as is.

When TNA gets the second hour bring in a mid-card title. The equivilant of what the wwe ic title used to be, a stepping stone to the main event. Robert Roode is the perfect example, he's not an X-Division guy, he's not a tag wrestler and he's not good enough for the main event but will be in the next few years. Add in guys like Rhino, Chris Daniels and Chris Harris, thats a solid foundation.

The other title, is an unknown at the moment. This time last year Gail Kim vs Tracii Brooks would have been awful. On iMPACT! they had a top quality match. And a rareity in womens wrestling thesedays, actual wrestle moves were used. With Nora Greenwald and Lisa Moretti not tied down to written contacts anywhere, if the title is introdecued, alongwith Jackie Moore, Gail Kim, Tracii Brooks and Christy Hemme, thats a very solid division that wwe Barbies couldent compete with.

I love the answer to the problem is always "get a second hour and a second title" TNA can't handle what they have now, I mean c'mon the X-division has become so worthless, while the tag division is near non-existent, so with all that said why not just go ahead and throw in another title! Maybe if they do add another title we'll be treated to a 25 man reverse royal rumble match, and when it gets down to two men Out will come Vince Russo to inform the title his be suspended from a pole.

Your thinking of Raw again.

It also shows you dont even watch TNA but decided to make a fool of yourself anyway.

While Raw hasn't been the best latley (exclude last episode as it was really good) honestly what has TNA to do to make me want to watch them? The X-division fucking blows, I'm sorry but Bob Backlund bit went way too far. I'm really not going to argue because all you did was try and quote the last part because you know you can't honestly argue the first part. When has Raw had an item on a pole match? oh, that's it's been quite awhile. Meanwhile the storylines in TNA are fucking atrocious, the Sting vs Abyss was easily the dumbest shit I've ever seen, I'd say it rivals that of Katie Vick. TNA has no idea how to book a good show right now, I mean do they seriously think it's a good idea to have every single main event at their ppv be jumbled clusterfuck with at least three people? I'd much rather see a one on one feud, and then keep ridiculous as undercard feuds some Storm vs Harris and VKM vs hemme of the show.

Do real wrestlers not mean anything in wrestling anymore? Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Jay Lethal, Senshi, Petey Williams, the list goes on.

Steiners, Team 3D, VKM, Basham & Damaja, LAX. They are TNA's five main tag teams. 3 of them are known the world over (albe not by current names for VKM), another has a strong reputation in indie promotions and the other is one of the best tag teams/stables to come out of wrestling in years.

I'll agree mostly with that.

Shows how long since you've watched.

Until the last rights match which was a poor concecpt, the feud was one of the most enjoyable even if the reasoning was sub-par.

Sacrifice - triple treath
Lockdown - traditional Lethal Lockdown match
Destination X - Cage vs Samoa Joe
Against All Odds - Cage vs Angle
Final Resolution - triple treath elimination
Turning Point - Samoa Joe vs Angle

You need to look up clusterfuck.

Again shows you dont know what your talking about as it was one of the best matchs in any promotion this year last Thursday.

I'm sorry that I am going to have to go with God here. I'm seeing a lot of personal opinion in Jacko's response and I happen to be more entertained by TNA than WWE 10x over.

The matches put on in TNA in the short amount of time they have to do it are much better. The X Division may be weaker than it was in the past due to the best there moving up into the TNA title picture, but it is there and it is exsistant. The WWE doesn't really acknowledge the cruiserweight division what so ever besides a random title match here and there. And TNA has a competive Main event title, Tag title, and X Division, while still holding up feuds outside of the title picture within one hour of programming a week. The WWE has done, much less with much more time. If you want a fair comparrison looks at ECW vs Impact. The ECW title hasn't even been on the show in weeks.

Now getting the second hour won't magically fix everything as yes there are some bad gimmick matches currently. But it will allow for longer matches, more matches, and deeper storylines. The storylines aren't very bad either. Maybe the Sting storyline was a little bit weak... but it was better than most you see on WWE, (Cena vs Khali, Car bombs, Katie Vick, etc.) TNA storylines are better in general, there is more quality action, and is overall entertainment value is better in my opinion.

Yes you can think WWE is better, and you won't be wrong, but you aren't right either. It is a matter of opinion. But you can't look at one sides flaws (TNA) like you are and completely ignore that WWE has bigger issues with more resources to do something about it, but just are lacking any desire to do so.

I haven't watched TNA in a couple weeks. But until there is a second hour there should be no more titles. And when there is a second hour I say one more title max. And I don't know what others would think about this, but I say make it a No Holds Barred title, since TNA has a ton of guys who can make a hardcore match seem legit. (GIVE IT TO RAVEN)

Raven is in no condition to wrestle. It's not a bad idea but their are a lot of guys who dont use hardcore style that could use it better.

Rhino etc can wrestle a normal match but i dont think Eric Young could wrestle a hardcore rules match. That would be my objection to it.

Neither product is good is atm. I'm just saying TNA has gone downhill recently when now is a time they should be picking it up. I really haven't overly enjoyed TNA since Sting came in with the whole "cancer" and the "Steve Borden" and sometimes "Sting" bit. I used to watch TNA because it was an alternative to WWE, but now it really isn't that much different, it's just in jumbled one hour format. On the topic of tag teams the division is much weaker now. 3-D are still okay, but really they are quite stale and should just go away. the Steiner Bros got derailed before they even made it back due to inury so scratch them off the list. The Bashams fucking blow. VKM is terrible. All they have is LAX, which for some reason isn't around all that much anymore.
