I Have Tried So Hard To Get Into TNA

...on numerous occasions. But it just doesnt make sense. Not only that, but it just feels so bush league. Tenay and West are almost as grating as a Josh Matthews/Todd Grisham combo. And everything about the show just seems so WWE Lite...but failing miserably. You know exceptional talents like Joe, Styles, Shelley and Cage can only go so far with the material and direction theyve been given.

I guess i'm just curious here, im not an arsonist inciting a flame-athon. I just wonder what it is about the product that appeals itself to TNA fans.

I wish my sex life was like ECW, first you get a One Night Stand followed by 2 months of nostalgic orgasms and then 6 months of constant sucking.

Well for me, I don't really watch wrestling at all anymore, But every so often (very few times) if I am flipping and i see TNA I will stop for a few moments. The wrestling is what I like. I am a fan of good High Spot wrestling.

The negatives....lol, don't get me started, but since we're here to discuss the positives, I'll concentrate on the PPV efforts of TNA -

1) Their lack of an autocratic leader or a four day working week means the talent is basically able to do whatever they like (within reason) out in the ring. So you'll see more high spots and "holy shit" moments out there.

2) They do have some truly talented roster members, AJ, Robert Roode, Christopher Daniels, Christian, Joe, Sabin & Shelley, LAX and sometimes James Storm too are all very worthy of watching in the ring.

3) They have Awesome Kong. The single best female (possibly) talent that exists in North American wrestling. She is fantastic and has my permission to squash to death all but the very upper echelons of the male roster.

What I don't like is how TNA introduces guys who were fired from WWE as "big deals".. nobody gives a shit. TNA needs to focus on their homegrown talent and stop living in the past.

It seems to me that TNA always want to try to one up WWE.

They should quit doing that and just focus on their own product.

In other words, they are trying to hard to compete with WWE when they should be the alternative to WWE. They are not going to beat WWE at WWE's game.

But don't get me wrong. I still tune it in to wwe every once in awhile as well. Tivo usually records smackdown so I usually take a quick look at that. I really enjoy what is going on with matt hardy and MVP. All together I say WWE is a MUCH better show then TNA, I just wish vince would unleash his boys and let them do what they can do.

i agree with you on that dak, i mean i love TNA almost as much as god, but they do seem to always try and one - up the wwe, and they put entirely to much focus on their bigger stars like angle and sting when i think they should focus on shelley and williams,sabin, brign AJ up i think they are just waisting his talent right now

Tyler Durden

C'mon you guys and play fair.....Eric wants to know what the positives are and you're just telling him the negs. Some of you watch TNA, so tell him why dumbasses!?

You took the words right out of my mouth *clap clap, clap clap* It must've been...

Newho the Canine One is right, i wanna know the good things. For WWE, id say names i recognise, exciting young talent, and the production values (being a student of media).

Slim had a good point with the high spot action, now me personally i need a story (that makes sense) to get into the wrestling. Unless youre name is AJ Styles then you be in whatever angle you want, you're still awesome.

So tell me, what's good in Total Nonstop Actionland?
