So I was watching youtube and I came across a video. It was by the youtuber known as MoralVirus. He was responding to another youtuber who said that if fans don't like it, why watch it?
Now before I show the video, I want to give my views. I for one, still consider myself a fan of TNA. They have an amazing roster and have sooo much potential. I have been a TNA fan since 2004. I have seen the very best of TNA and the very worst. I ordered the PPV where Christian debuted in TNA. I ordered the PPV Booker T debuted in TNA. I ordered the epic triple threat match in 05 a week after in came out once I heard how great it was. However for the past year or so, the shows in my opinion have been complete and utter shit. Until recently, there was near no good in TNA's shows at all. They pushed the wrong people, they hired the wrong guys, they fired good talent, and they didn't use their talent properly.
The first thing people said was, when TNA gets two hours they would be epic. Well they've had two hours for a long time. One show out of every 8 or so that I watch I enjoy fully or don't flip through the channels. DISCLAIMER: Before you go calling me a WWE mark for this, remember something. I have watched TNA for four years. I have watched WWE my entire life. I watched WCW. I watched some ECW (but it closed while I was still fairly young and was on late), I watch ROH PPVs. I watch anything I can pretty much. NWA, AWA, WWE, WWF, ECW, WCW, WCCW, To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. TNA, ROH, CZW, PWG, etc. I am a WRESTLING fan. I enjoy wrestling. Now back to what I was saying. I get BORED during TNA. For someone who is as big of a wrestling fan as I am, that shouldn't be happening. Yet I get bored through it. TNA were fucking up every time I turned around. Angle's debut killed Joe's momentum. Booker's debut resulted in a shit feud with Robert Roode that lasted wayyy too long. Super Eric? Need I say more about that? Black Reign and Rellik (Rellik is Killer backwards? You tell me every fucking broadcast) Sting defeating Christopher Daniels in fucking 5-7 minutes in ONE match (not to mention then jobbing him out and eventually firing him making him Curry Man), Stone Cold Shark Boy, a fucking guru? (Notice I didn't complain about Jay Lethal, because it works for him. Notice I didn't complain about other gimmicks that I think work? It's not TNA, it's what they do), they fucked up Judias so badly. They have never ending feuds that bore the life out of me (Eric Young and Robert Roode happened for how long?), and they just have sooo many flaws the show is hardly enjoyable.
However it seems the main flaw people had TNA was this: Not pushing homegrown talent. Meaning pushing guys who weren't big names in ECW, WCW, or WWE. Oh wait, Samoa Joe is TNA champion! DOn't get me wrong, that is fucking fantastic and I might buy the DVD just because of that, however their was NO excitement in him winning. Everybody knew he was going to win sooner or later, but time and time again he would be screwed out of the win to the point nobody cares. When he finally did win it, people thought "hey cool, finally Samoa Joe got his due". But did anybody jump for joy and mark the fuck out? No. Now I ask you, if he won a year ago, how many people would have then? I know I would have. I know several others would have.
Now to my main point: With all these issues within TNA that I have, why do I feel the need to watch it? HOPE. As I mentioned previously, I am a WRESTLING fan. I watch wrestling good, bad, or in between. However, TNA isn't like WWE's ECW. TNA isn't like CZW (no offense to CZW fans but every time I see a card I hate the roster). TNA has a fucking amazing roster. With athletes such as AJ Styles, Samoe Joe, Kaz, MCMG, LAX, Kurt Angle, Christian Cage, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Abyss (WHO IS BEING DEMASKED?!), TNA probably has the best roster in professional wrestling today. With that said, I tune in week in and week out (more so before, as I don't watch every week anymore) and am disappointed each time. And again, I continue to watch. I watch because I know TNA can have great shows. I rented Bound For Glory last year and it fucking excelled. I watched TNA during 2004-2006 when every fucking show sucked me in more and more.
I kind of rambled and cluserfucked my statements but the point is, I watch TNA because of three reasons:
I love wrestling
They have an amazing roster.
And most importantly, I have high hopes for them. I know they have the potential to be the best company in the world, so I get angry when they aren't. I am truly passionate about TNA whether TNA fanboys like to admit it or not. I simply want them to excel and there is no logical reason as to why they cannot.
Note: There is quite abit of inappropriate references and language in this video. Watch by your own will.

Did I post too much or do people just not care? To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
And I still believe TNA has potential to be amazing.

Every company (If it's been around long enough) has had some down periods. However, they rarely last forever. If a fan totally walks away from being a TNA fan, when will they know that TNA has become good again? That was one of the biggest problems with WCW. They were actually putting on some quality shows in 2001, but it was too late.
I no longer watch every week like I used to, however; I do make an effort to watch a show every couple of months. Every time I watch, I hope that the company has changed. Perhaps one time, they will.

I'd like to know just what a "hater" is. Anytime someone is critical of something they are suddenly labeled a "hater." People watch a certain show, in this case wrestling simply because it is wrestling. They may not like the current storyline or the way a certain wrestler is being used in the ring, but they still watch for the fact it is wrestling. There is always hope that the product will improve and in many cases, a hope of, a sign of improvement is enough to keep people watching at the darkest of times. However, there comes a point when someone can become so frustrated that they figure they'll just walk away and wash their hands of the product, but in most cases their constant driving hope makes them check in from time to time. Sometimes people just need a break from the product to realize the small steps of improvements being made.

TNA need to realize the talent that they have at their disposal. They have some world class wrestlers, but they are not used to their full capacity. They have AJ, Christian, Tomko, Storm, Sting, Morgan, Rhino, Joe, Booker and more who are all capable of main event wrestling. They have an excellent tag team division, with MCMG, LAX, Steiner & Williams, R&RI, Black Reign/Rellik, Kaz/EY, Curryman/Shark Boy, they have so much they can use. But they rely too much on Angle. No one man can carry a company, it takes a joined effort.
Like Ken, I will watch anything at least once. I will give it a go, and if I don't like it, fine, it's only 100MB wasted and 10 minutes gone. No problem. I will watch something like Melina/Ashley through to Storm/Harris at least once. I will give a company a go, like CZW, who have been said they suck because they aren't "proper" wrestling. Since when did wrestling have a definite style? I guess you could call NJPW not "proper" wrestler if WWE has it.
I quite enjoy TNA, I don't find it boring and I find it easier sometimes to watch than RAW or Smackdown or ECW. Giving Joe the title was a step in the right reaction, because Angle would have had to be under alot of stress basically carrying TNA along. Now please book Booker T in the main event, no more with Bobby Rhoode, it was a terrible feud and it's your chance to start over. Maybe a Joe/Booker feud now?

Anyone who doesn't agree with the Almighty All-Knowing Wrestling God Thomas is a Hater. Oh and they don't know anything about wrestling. Those are haters. Mainly people who expect more from something and tired of never getting it.

wait are you saying Magic Johnson is black, has AIDS and has it better than ME?
I think the question and the answer in the thread answers in itself. I do preferably watch TNA for the knockouts since it's quite ahead of WWE, but I do catch the other things hoping it'll be good enough to keep me interested. Regardless, I dislike TNA but I usually watch because I have hope.

Yes, I have a GIF of two women kissing.
Yes, it's hot. Yes it's Megan Fox kissing another woman from Jennifer's Body. Yes, it's hot... owait, I already said that. Yes, I'm aware this makes me sound like a total lesbian. But this scene? UNF.
To be fair. This is the only forum I've ever been called a hater on. In fact... Tom and Ken are the only ones to really call me a hater. So I think it's safe to say that my definition fits. Granted as far as I can tell it's just their rebuttal to me calling them fan boys. They accept mediocrity, I don't.
(No I'm not saying TNA is better before someone bends my words to make it seem like I said that)
