Guest Kaedon Report post Posted October 17, 2005 I don't know man. Their self-made music is a glorified midi file from what I've listened to. It's pretty rough. Especially Daniels' and Sabin's... I think maybe they need to hire their own version of Jim Johnston. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Very true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) I think Sabin and Daniels have two of their better themes, actually. Styles' theme works for him despite not making a whole lot of sense, and other than that, it's just there in my mind. I think Nash's theme is supposed to be a ripoff of the Wolfpack theme without lyrics Edited October 17, 2005 by Masked Man of Mystery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 I've heard most of their themes.... they need to going more hard rock on some of them.... hell, even if they could get some of the standard entrance music that WCW had back in the day.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daileyxplanet 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Why does everyone ignore the fact that "Brother Ray" stated that their new gimmick would beat the crap out of the Dudley Boyz ? I think on BFG, they will come out with their new gimmicks. Either that or Team 3D is the "new" gimmick and I will be very dissapointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Right now, I don't think TNA can really do character development, that's one of their big problems right now, they need more TV time so they can develop angles and such more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 After reading that Kevin Nash/Spike TV conference call post, I don;t think you need to worry much about that. Two hours a week is coming. I think that character development is second on the list, below shocasing their talent. They're showing what their talent can do in the ring, and once that is established, then they'll move forward with character development. I think this time, they're learning to crawl before they can walk. Though they need to keep a good balance between the two. Too much of a talent-driven show, they will be criticized as Spotfest Central even more then they already are by some. Too much character development, and they are in serious danger of being Sports Entertainment. Both can be accomplished with a two hour show, but the fact that it seems they are taking baby steps is encouraging. Don;t look for too much too soon, though.

World's Worst Man 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 They need more TV time, or they need to start running PPVs every other month as opposed to every month. ~4 hours of TV isn't even close to enough time to build a PPV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papacita 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 I think Nash's theme is the worst I've ever heard. I seriously busted out laughing during Impact the other night when it hit during the brawl (Jarrett's reaction and Tenay's screaming out "IT'S BIG SEXY!" when it hit was especially funny). It sounds like they ripped that one off of some children's CD--it's horrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SavageRulz Report post Posted October 30, 2005 I've got a question, knowing that all wrestling promotions blow the size of the wrestlers out of proportion, but does TNA have wrestlers that are so short that they are billing them to be that much taller than they are? I mean I know Hogan is 6'4" in real life and was billed forever at 6'7". But I was looking at the TNA profiles against their previous profiles at other promotions and this is what it looks like. Name: TNA Height/Previous Promotion Height Abyss: 6'9"/6'4" Samoa Joe: 6'8"/6'3" Jeff Jarrett: 6'3"/5'11" AJ Styles: 6'2"/5'10" Lance Hoyt: 6'7/6'3" Some of the differences aren't huge or by any means out of the range of the wrestling world blow up, but the Samoa Joe thing shocked me because I've met him at Chicago Ridge for an ROH meet and greet, and he isn't any taller than me, and watching him against Sabin, he dwarfed Sabin who is listed at 6'2". I'm almost 6'2" and Joe was not that much bigger than me, maybe an inch or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted October 30, 2005 Samoa Joe is like, 6'2" or 6'3". Where'd you see him listed at 6'8"? He's listed as 6'3" on TNA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SavageRulz Report post Posted October 30, 2005 Mike Tenay kept calling him the 6'8" Samoa Joe in his matches. It's on the X DVD that was just released to retail stores. He's says it several times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TNABaddboi 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2005 I'm not sure if he has a no-compete or not, but if he doesn't, Christian showing up on the Special would have been great for TNA. It's a shame this didn't happen last week, though I suppose they could have him appear in a vignette in the special. Maybe just somthing as simple as him walking into Larry's office to "negiotate" before a match. Or a promo saying he's coming, a la Trytan. If they are going to bring him in, they need to mention it somehow in front of their biggest audience today, but they should do it unless they've got a deal worked out, so they don't plug him and not deliver like when Jarrett namedropped Matt Hardy only for him to not show up. Just a thought... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add in Joe, Styles and the Fallen Angel and that is one damn awesome promotion. Hell, even with Jarrett at the top of the card at the moment it still makes for an extremely strong promotion.
