BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 If TNA continues with its upward trend in ratings, Spike will give it two hours gladly. People want to see the type of show TNA is putting on right now. They are really living up to their moniker of total nonstop action. The hour this last few weeks has gone by faster than any wrestling show for a long time. I can't even stand watching Raw or Smackdown anymore. They are just old and stale.

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 They're living up to their moniker by having about three matches that are only two mintues each??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 Maybe their moniker is fucking lame then? Really...how many of us like the fact that the company whose product we watch, purchase, and support is called "Total Nonstop Action Wrestling"? It's a fucking terrible name. And not having any break whatsoever in the shows is HURTING the product as a whole. If there's a breakneck pace and three matches each week that clock in at a total of 15 minutes altogether...that leaves 30 minutes air-time to develop angles and talent via interview/promo/video packages. Unfortunately, they're not doing that good of a job at that, and the one thing they've proven they can do a good job in - the matches themselves and their quality - are being hampered by Russo's booking.

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 I don't understand why people are so obsessed with TNA's business decicions when they have absolutely no reason to care. I wonder if people who make that statement ever stop to think what they're actually saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 I think everyone agrees that TNA is a horrible name. It smacks of lame WCW 2000 Vince Russo-ness. "HAHAHA! We'll call it T-N-A...but it will stand for Total Non-Stop Action! Get it? HAHAHAHA! And we'll have two guys dressed in penis constumes wrestle as The Johnsons! HAHAHAHA! Slap nutz!" Who the hell wants to say they watch "TNA Wrestling?" People think you're some kind of sex pervert if you say that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who the hell wants to say they watch "TNA Wrestling?" People think you're some kind of sex pervert if you say that. True story. I was watching Impact one night and my roommate asks if I'm watching WWE. I said, "no this is TNA." And he says "TNA? Is it porn?" And it's totally a Russo WCW 2000 thing. During that weird period in early 2003 when the show would toss in shoots all the time (guess who was booking) Russo cut a promo saying "TNA wasn't meant to stand for Total Nonstop Action. It was supposed to be Tits N Ass!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just because Spike asks for more women involvement doesn't mean they want an entire women's division to be created, used, and booked. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with TNA's business decicions when they have absolutely no reason to care. I wonder if people who make that statement ever stop to think what they're actually saying. ZING~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
