A while ago when Kurt Angle left the WWE a person told me he is still in wrestling and I thought that he retired because I heard he might go into MMA so I was excited to see where Kurt is wrestling and then I looked through his TNA debut and what he did there and that was my introduction to TNA which I must say is a JOKE especially today.
Now I dont really watch TNA because its such a bad production compared to WWE. I mean, if u look at the roster its like a retirement home/DUMP for crappy WWE wrestlers. They have a broken down old Kurt Angle, A terrible Kevin Nash and they keep bringing in WWE's DUMPS like Rellik who was Johnny Stamboli and sucked in the WWE and I just dont see how ppl can be excited about it.
Its like getting excited about a 1950 television set, I mean, whats the point when u can get a new TV?
So, what are u guys watching TNA for?!

Kurt Angle's a whole lot less 'broken down' now than he was in ECW. He's putting on great matches. Why shouldn't people watch him? Are wrestler's not allowed to work anywhere after they've left the WWE?

So, what are u guys watching TNA for?! TNA has a FAR more talented roster than WWE. Nobody watches TNA for Nash, who has wrestled only one match in the past two years. We watch for LAX, the Motor City Machineguns, Aj Styles and Samoa Joe. And TNA were so bad guys like Angle, Booker T and Christian would not have chosen to go there. Hell, even Rhino turned down the opportunity to return to WWE. RHINO! |

I watch TNA because I think its important for WWE to have a competitor. I'm convinced the only way we're going to see any real creativity at wrestlings' highest level is when there is real competition, as in the WCW vs. WWF Monday night wars.

Angle, Booker T, Cage etc went to TNA not because its so good but because its the only place that would give them a wrestling job right now since WWE own wrestling in USA. |

It's the wacky interference that takes it down a notch. And the whole lack of wins thing. |

Those names are so big, they could get a job in wrestling anywhere they damn well please. Hell, they probably have enough money to retire. |

It's a very good argument, because why wouldn't they choose to staty in WWE and make more money? Why don't you tell me what you watch WWE for? Because I honestly can't understand why anyone would do that. A friend told me the last WWE show was 'mainevented' by Big Daddy V and Mark Henry fighting the Undertaker and that it was 'pure torture' to watch. |

So, what are u guys watching TNA for?! Comedy skits that are actually funny. That last point is especially true for me. The WWE would never come up with something as brilliant as the Christian/Nash backstage segment from the last Impact, or the Angle family Thanksgiving. Sure, TNA has its share of poop and genitalia jokes, but it at least has a wider humor base. |

I watch TNA because:
-They don't have a leprechaun
-They don't have a leprechaun in many of the main programs in the show
-They don't have a leprechaun who magically spraypaints a wall and runs through it
-They don't have an owner who ran a storyline where he faked his own death
-They don't have an owner whose son-in-law is given title after title even though he sort of really sucks as a wrestler
-They don't have a style that completely waters down a wrestler's skill
-They don't have a tag team champ who is an MTV reject. Far worse than Pacman Jones.
-They don't have a wrestler whose whole gimmick is saying his name. Twice.
Should I continue? I probably can.

I also watch TNA because you never know what you're going to get. Some say TNA's booking is scattered and random, I say it's not formulaic. The lack of an authority heel is also a breath of fresh air and allows TNA to avoid doing the same thing over and over and over again.
The WWE has been putting on the same show since 2003.

Whilst I don't watch TNA on any frequent basis, I'll say that the long winded soliloqy I gave in WWE Current regarding the writers is reason enough for me to enjoy TNA when I get around to seeing it; i. e., KrUsHer, that the stories are a backdrop for in ring action, rather than the other way around. I'll say this, the only reason I don't catch TNA is because I'm usually busy on Thursdays and Saturdays, and wrestling is on my low-priority list for the DVDR anymore (though motorsports is done for the season, so I suppose I could bump it back up for the time being). It's good to see a night of wrestling that's not on PPV which features more than one match clocking in at over 5 minutes. Strangely, for a kid who cut his teeth on Attitude Era WWF and 1996-1999 WCW, as well as old NWA tapes from tape trading, a 4 and a half minute sound byte (including entrances) using safe style, followed by 12 minutes of backstage antics with McMahon making faces and Coach not being able to keep a leprechaun under control don't tickle me where it counts. I don't think there's any point in coming in and attacking TNA fans in such a flagrant manner, seeing as they generally keep the peace with WWE fans, seeing as everyone has their tastes, and it works just fine for them and for us. Usually, TNA fans are quite familiar with the shortcomings of their product. If only many WWE fans would be just as honest and objective. The WWE has been putting on the same show since 2003. I'd agree wholeheartedly, for the most part. Though I'd even speculate that it's been longer, having seen them fall into a helluva rut the summer following WrestleMania XVIII, and then rebounding briefly for the push in WrestleMania XX. Good god, the failed Orton Experiment of 2003 and Katie Vick immediately spring to mind. Not exactly mind-blowing, wrestling related television there. Yet people wonder why PPV buyrates, tv ratings, and house show attendance are at an almost 10 year low...I know, mind boggling, right? |

I watch for Samoa Joe, MCMG, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels (*sighs*), LAX, and Jay Lethal, and because I also enjoy hurting myself to the point of self-mutilation.

I watch TNA on dailymotion if I miss impact. I watch the TNA today's I check out the PPVs when i can. I like LAX and the MCMG, I think angle is the best wrestler in the industry today and Joe isnt too far from there. Christian Cage is awesomeness redfined. Jay Lethal and KAz are slowly becoming some of my favourite wrestlers to watch. Abyss takes bumps we dont often see in wwe. TNA's wrestlers aren't limited by the safe style matches in the wwe, they risk thier bodies for my entertainment. Booker T is freakin great. When/If sting comes back ill be happy. Batista sucks.

Because while they have some of the OLDEST talent in the business, they also have some of the best, youngest talent.
