This is just my opinion, so dont think im saying 'this is how everyone should think'.
the pros of TNA are:
much more exciting, fast paced action in the ring
innovative match and wrestling styles.
Stars you cant see on WWE TV like Aj Stles, Sting, Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Shark Boy, etc.
No 'controversial' storylines eg necrophilia
The Cons:
Weak storylines. Sometimes none.
Trying too much to be like WWE/WCW
Pushes unknown stars thefans dont giv a hoot about.
When a WWE stargets signed they automatically becoem champion within months.
anyone agree? disagree

I'd both agree and disagree with your list. WWE stars are being used differently when they come in, now. Like Booker. Here would be my list...
Pro: Do have a sense of humor about the business.
Con: Resort to using that sense of humor a bit much, giving the show a sitcom feel. Sometimes, I'm just wating for a laugh track to go off.
Pro: Darn good wrestlers with amazing abilities
Con: Occasinally spends too much time on the "Old Guard" and has them show up new talent. (An example from last year would be the debacle called the Sting/Daniels feud)
Pro: Willing to try different things to get noticed. A WCW tactic that worked great for them
Con: Occasionally overdoes things and ruins the impact of them. Excessive Gimmick Matches come to mind.
Pro: Tomko
Con: He isn't world champ yet.
Pro: They have a monster version of Mikey Whipwreck! (Rellik)
Con: His name is Killer spelled backwards. If you haven't figured that out...don't worry, it'll get pounded home.
Pro: As said before, some of the most amazing wrestlers in the world.
Con: One of the worst announce teams I've ever heard. UN-FRICKING-BELIEVABLE

Pro: Giving boring, lost in the shuffle wrestlers 'presonality' to get behind.
Con: They are usually comedy 'personalities' which initially get over and are funny but are dragged out to the point the wrestler(s) involved may never be taken seriously again.

Save this, cause I don't wanna do this again. A) 9 out of 18 (or 16???) means at least half of them get titles, so it's not all-too convincing to say that WWE wrestlers don't get preference above homegrown talent. B) This thread is people's opinions on Pros and Cons of TNA, what good comes out of telling people that their opinions are incorrect? PRO: Awesome wrestling on PPV's, perhaps the best roster out there. -Ratings rising slowly, but at least it shows progress. -They have Tomko -Curry Man -Kazarian -Womens division CON: Doesn't utilize talent. -Horrible pacing on their shows. -Tries to be too much of a comedy/sitcom show, not a wrestling show. -Gimmicks galore -Don West/ Mike Tenay -Dustin Rhodes. |

B) This thread is people's opinions on Pros and Cons of TNA, what good comes out of telling people that their opinions are incorrect? The argument was "When a WWE star gets signed, they automatically become champion within months." That's what he said. I responded about how 9 of the 18 don't get titles, and 6 more had to wait around a year, more or less, to get one. So, about 3 got their titles within a few months, out of the 18 on the roster currently. He said if anyone agreed or disagreed to say it. As you can see, I disagreed and gave my reasons. |

PRO-
Better matches than we get with WWE (especially on PPVs)
More diversity (tag teams, women's matches, cruiserweight)
Better wrestlers/more impressive wrestlers than WWE
CON-
Shitty, shitty writing. Writing so bad it's considered two cons in my book.
I still feel the show is rushed. Do we need a wacky angle or interview after every match?
