S with any Televised Wrestling promotion run by folks who have "caused more than one company to nosedive" we gotta take the good with the bad. Here's my take:
THE BAD:
1) Getting rid of the 6 sided ring- this was TNA's signature. It made them unique in the US (can't say North America cuz' AAA has one). I think that this is the one thing I've hated the most.
2) The Outsiders- Lets just let this one die please.....
3) Nasty Boys, Bubba the Love-Sponge and Orlando Jordan- Nasty Boys: Really? Whta are they 280lbs EACH? Come on!!!! Bubba- Why do we need this looser anyway? Orlando- Apparently in the Years since he was let go from WWE he has gained some NEEDED talent. A Dragon-Screw leg whip on the Poe as he was comingthroughthe ropes? Nice!
4) Bischoff- said my piece on this man allready.
5) 'Following the Leader'- The Montreal screwjob (stupid) storyline was just to discredit/make-light-of the current Raw storyline. But yeah, get some new material guys.
THE GOOD:
1) Generation Me- nothing but a bright future here.
2) Desmond Wolf/Nigel- I really like the European style of wrestling. I enjoy the clinic this guy puts on everytime he's in the ring.
3) Brian Kendrick/Spanky- this Jerk has tremendous potential! Lets see it for once!
4) X-division- Lets keep this in the forefront and let it shine like it always does!
5) Tournaments- I LOVE Wrestling Tournaments!!!! Keep 'em comming!
So they can be buried under younger "old guys" who get all the camera time
Well... not necessarily. Jericho, Big Show, Eddie, Rey, Booker and He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named all managed to make their way to the top. Sure, there are those who didn't make it, but that's just the way of the business. It'll be like that for any group of individuals coming in from another company, be it TNA or RoH.
I was surprised they had Samoa Joe job to Wolfe in order to sell that feud.
I want these clixed: Doc Savage, Fu Manchu, Tarzan, The Shadow, The Green Hornet & Kato, Conan, Solomon Kane, The Phantom, King Kong, Universal Monsters, Black Orchid, Manhunter (Paul Kirk), Xemnu the Titan, unclixed Kirby Fourth World characters, and Lilith, Daughter Of Dracula.
Watching TNA at this point is like watching the collapse of WCW, just in fast forward. It's been barely a month since the January 4th show and watching Hogan and Bischoff eviscerate everything remotely unique and original about TNA to turn it into a watered down WWE would be heartbreaking if TNA hadn't been already rendered unwatchable by Russo.
Obviously, hiring Bubba, The Nasty Boys, Orlando Jordan and an outdated Val Venis then pushing them over more talented individuals is a mistake in itself, but hiring guys who might be going to jail in in the near future, cage matches ending in disqualifications, throwing out visual things that make the company stand out, yet another retread of the Montreal Screwjob, The NWO-lite and changing more than one PPV match on the day of the show... it's horrendous.
Then there's turning AJ Styles into Nature Boy 3.0, which at first glance sounds like a solid concept, but after hearing Lance Storm lay out why it's an awful idea, it's tough to dispute it.
It's getting so bad that even TNA's live audience is turning on the company, given the already bad booking and that awful video circulating of the production telling the audience they have to respond the way the company wants them to respond.
