TNA vs. WWE

[HappyGilmore]

One could conceivably say that they died the minute they signed a contract late last year.

Sad.  I wanted to see TNA get really really big.

I know, I wanted TNA to compete with WWE and to draw more attention to TNA than WWE, but since 1) the ring is now a spuare than a hexagon (which the main reason I watched TNA) and 2) Everything is all B.S.-> Why is this happening to one of the greatest wrestling program?! I guess I shoulda seen it coming when Bischoff is involved

[HappyGilmore]

I give Bischoff some credit, he did have some decent ideas.  But at the same time, was quite full of himself and helped flush an entire organization down the tubes.

I personally think TNA kind of shot themselves in the foot and have been doing it for years - simply by using WWE castoffs to bury their own homegrown talent instead of using the WWE castoffs to help establish said stars further. Guys like Samoa Joe, A.J. Styles, Christopher Daniels, Abyss, Robert Roode and James Storm should be on top of TNA. Personally I prefer the four sided ring anyday as it actually is a bigger ring and just looks right IMO. By putting former WWE guys over those guys who've been faithful to TNA for the long haul--just seems like bad business to me.

They're both appallingly terrible as of right now, TNA is a clusterf**k and WWE is boring.

OMG I have not watched Raw or TNA for about half year now. I know Hogan was in TNA but...

HOL... LLLY crap I did not know he was starting something like NWO again, and with Bischoff!!!??? This a joke?

Goooood night TNA. I wonder if this was the work of an "outside wrestling company"? LOL. Genius!



I sound like a hypocrite but I loved NWO... well for a little while anyway. The 90's yes...

The time of black spray paint and trash in the ring. I didn't know what year I was watching at times.

[HappyGilmore]

The initial NWO was decent enough...but they completely and utterly destroyed it by not only letting just about everyone in (I mean, there was enough for TWO VERSIONS at the same time), and when I say everyone, I mean it.  Vincent/Virgil was a member.  When a lifelong jobber is a member it takes away from what they wanna accomplish. 

Then it got bigger and bigger, broke up, and next thing I know, it's led by Jeff Jarrett and Bret Hart.   

TNA is utter sh*t.  The fact that 500 people showed up to a recent event, in an arena that holds like, 5,000, speaks volumes.  It CAN'T all be the economy.  Granted, even in a bad economy, there should be enough fans to justify at LEAST, 1,000 people.

I dunno what's up with it anymore.  WWE is just, they're smart in trying to push younger guys.  They're backed into a corner now that so many main event guys are gone or injured (Batista, HBK, Undertaker, CM Punk, HHH, Mysterio, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Jericho, are all gone.  Some don't work for WWE anymore and others injured.)

But trying to push so MANY younger guys at one time with no real main event guys outside of Kane and Edge is kind of trying a bit too hard at one time with no real big success.  Financially they'll be fine as the McMahon's are smart and have built WWE into a mega-brand and thought ahead and marketed to kids again which opens the door to a huge boost in merchandise sales and business deals with corporations like 7-11, McDonalds, Burger King, Pepsi and a few others which opens the floodgates money wise.

Whats up with Undertaker, injured? He's my favorite wrestler, I hope he's doing well.

LOL... yeah I remember Virgil. Million Dollar Man's bodyguard. Vincent in NWO.

BTW did anybody ever see Ultimate Warrior vs Orlando Jordan "Ultimate Return Match" 2 years ago?

If Warrior comes back to WWE I'll watch it again. I'd like to see Undertaker vs Warrior @ WrestleMania XXVII!

[HappyGilmore]

Whats up with Undertaker, injured? He's my favorite wrestler, I hope he's doing well.

He has some shoulder injury, needs surgery.  He should be back in time for WrestleMania 27.  I'll say this much, I've been to two events the WWE put on.  Undertaker got the loudest ovation of any wrestler on the card.  I'm glad to have gotten a chance to see him live before he ups and retires.

[66Crush]

I haven't watched WWE as much without the Undertaker, he is the main reason I watch WWE at all. I watch TNA for nostalgia. I like to see Flair, Sting, Hogan, Nash, Foley, etc. Even though these guys are past they're prime (mainly Flair and Hogan, I'm afraid they'll die in the ring like Randy "The Ram.") Sting is still in good form, he should swallow his pride and join WWE. Everyone want's a Sting vs. The Undertaker match. TNA have the best young talent, A.J. Styles, Matt Morgan, Samoa Joe and The Pope are among the best I've seen in the while. But that Jersey Shore rip off guy needs a new act, good wrestler but that character blows. As for WWE, I just had to turn it off when Hornswaggle wrestled that guy in an Eagle suit.
