In three months, Impact will start with Vince MacMahon on the screen saying he now owns TNA. If that ever happened, I would never watch wrestling ever again. Ever. Completely disown it, deny any knowledge of it. Yeah same here, mid-2001 - early 2004 was a dark time for the industry.

I've never been won over by TNA. There is some good stuff there but the bad outweighs the good in my personal opinion. For the die hard TNA fans, even they have to admit its becoming hard to defend this crap week after week. People shouldn't pay their money and get THAT as the reward. It amazes me how much more criticism TNA gets than WWE. It think it has everything to do with the production value and the fact that WWE has been around sixty years longer. You also have people there who were around for the fall of WCW and repeat the same mistakes over and over again. I can sympathize with the TNA fans on this board who want us all to look at the bright spots. Yes, the internet can be overly critical and quick to judgement. However, I think it's done out of all of us wanting to see a good alternative to the WWE. So when you see TNA screw up time and time again you really begin to lose that hope that TNA will be that alternative.

I'm disappointed with yet another screw up, especially at a time when they were just getting some momentum. I'm not done with them yet, though. There are too many guys that I like there, and I just can't get 100 percent behind WWE.
Now, if I had actually *paid* for this ppv, I could totally understand, though.

TNA's Impact TV contract in Australia expires at the end of the month, and there's no word on it being renewed. They've already had Xplosion axed - perhaps Impact will follow.
May have no choice whether I'm 'done' with it or not...

See: Eddie Guerrero, when he was screwed up in the shower at an event.

So when you see TNA screw up time and time again you really begin to lose that hope that TNA will be that alternative. Agreed. At least, that's what frustrates me so much. I honestly don't know how much is Russo at this point, or how much is Bischoff and Hogan, but I know that all three of them were present and accounted for during the darkest days of WCW when we fans of that federation were seeing the SAME sort of crap booking and nonsensical finishes and just flat out BULLS*** on a weekly basis. I get the "keep looking at the bright side approach". I do. But those bright spots are getting fewer and fewer. I just wonder who the network exec is going to be that pulls the plug at the end of RD's next book? ;D

Honestly there are probably literally a handful of posters here who like to look on the bright side, compared to the rest which constantly want to complain about how TNA does nothing right and how they are bush league. But it's okay because everybody cares deeply about TNA and wants them to do well, so the constant pessimistic attitude seems justified.

I used to enjoy TNA, and even when they had bad moments (which was often), I could just shake my head and smile at those wacky bookers. Now though, the good moments seem fewer and the bad ones are just not funny any more.

If TNA hasn't run me off by now, I doubt they ever will. Unless they do something REALLY wrong, which is highly possible, I'm going to keep watching simply out of habit.

I'm never done with another promotion. It's a product other than WWE, and while I wish they would improve, I'll keep watching because of said opinion.

TNA is just the redheaded bastard stepchild of WCW and WWE.
It is what it is. I don't expect much.

Or Bowser from Sha Na Na. I'd tune in for that. It would be completely random, make no sense at all, and do nothing for the product, but I'd still tune in once.

I wouldn't say that. WWE made Paul Heyman a writer and he did some cool stuff on Smackdown. Also without him I don't think they ever would have brought in CM Punk with the straight edge gimmick and his name. Heyman personally wanted Punk for the new ECW.
