its too bad you talk like you actually know what happens in TNA.
DO YOU KNOW what happens in TNA or do you speak as a fan?
I know what I see and I speak on what I see and the result of their actions. They tried to pull some of WWE's fanbase by going head to head, it didn't work for whatever reason. Instead, the move killed their overall rating, even by going earlier, it fell, not slipped.......fell. They lost half of their audience from the January 4 show when Hogan took over. I can't explain why this happened, but the majority speaks, it's too much old school. Too much Hogan, Bischoff, Hall/Nash, and Nasty Boys when they were there? Maybe, but we're just a speck of the overall watchers of the product. You and me don't count for what TNA is yearning for. I watch TNA myself, I enjoy something different, but I just wish they STOP trying to be what the WWE is AND with bad booking.
You may say you love the angles and people don't give them time, but truth be told, TNA had the opportunity to be their own entity long ago. They had their chance to create their own original angles with fresh faces. Instead, they've gone out and hired the same individuals that the WWE once used and recreated some of the same angles, with utter failure. It's not even drama filled anymore. You can see the entire angle unfold right when they start in TNA. It's just bad writting. But I still watch it. TNA has great talent in the ring that I wish they just focus on the wrestling, and toss the skits out the window. If TNA just did a 2-hour show where they just let the roster wrestle like the old days of the NWA with a little melee here and there, classic break aparts, and close up interviews, that would be a breathe of fresh air for them. But instead, we get a fake 4 Horsemen in the ring that all get tossed up by a single punch to the head by Hulk Hogan, leaving he and Flair in the ring..........AGAIN!!!! And this is what TNA brings to the table. We've seen this for the past 15 years, we don't need to see it again. And I think that's why the ratings fall and people are just turned off by what they see, they've seen it already.
When WCW was bringing in all these old names or names that already had their run in other organizations, WWF was establishing new faces (The Rock, HHH, Austin (revamped)), now the same is being done again. Instead, TNA had all the fresh faces and they didn't do anything with them, so they went and hired all the old faces to carry the company. They don't have faith in their fresh faces because they don't know how to write for them to get them over. Also, today's new talent are small dudes; so you have to work with what you have. TNA had the opportunity to build their company around the acrobatics of the new generation of wrestling, but instead, they slowed it down and went with what's already known to the masses and have already been done on a bigger stage. So why would you want to watch the same thing done over again on a smaller platform with horrible writing and booking? Yet, I still watch it before it's wrestling..........I grew up watching wrestling, I don't yearn to see it everytime it comes on, but I watch it nonetheless.
So I know what's happening in TNA...
