I agree that TNA sucks, but IMO its all about how they utilize the people they've got. I don't think, for example, that Sting should be featured regularly. He should be a special attraction that shows up every few months or so, like how WWE used to use Undertaker.
My other opinions:
-VKM is old and tired, and I hate seeing em.
-Ditto for Team 3D
-Rhino just isn't entertaining.
-Christian and Tomko are fun, they play off of each other extremelly well. I don't have a problem with either of them being there since WWE didn't utilize them to their full potential.

So effing what?
Would it make you happy if they used 0 WWF wrestlers? It was a good show, they use what they have to work with. They're doing a good job with only 1 hour to work with. Quit your puping and make your own wrestling promotion if you don't like it.
If there was no TNA then I wouldn't be able to see any of these guys on TV. Is that the way it should be? Everybody that doesn't work for WWE should just smurf off and die, I suppose.

Well Swarm since you started this exact same thread during the last impact broadcast let's just skip to the end.
1) For five years WWE was the only game in town. Therefore almost every wrestler can be considered a 'wwe' guy.
Even guys like Jerry Lynn or AJ Styles have worked some matches for Vince at some point in their careers.
So unless you want to watch Joe vs. Homocide in an endless loop, every single scene is going to have a "wwe guy."
2) Considering the amount of "WCW" and "ECW" guys that WWE features prominently, it seems you have a double standard. Unless, that is, you go to the WWE boards every time Booker, Benoit, RVD or Ray Jr. are in the main event to start this same thread.
3) After a certain time they are TNA guys. Christian has been main eventing in TNA for almost two years. Eventually Angle will a TNA guy.

"Every ex WWF guy" ...yeah. Cause we see Test, The Dicks, Heidenreich, Orlando Jordan, and so on in TNA. They pick guys who they feel can help them. For the most part I feel they choose well. Some guys need their characters shaken up a bit (Brother Ray and Sting mainly), but I don't think they just go grab someone cause WWE got rid of them. Except Billy Gunn totally sucks. I'm with you on that one.

TNA is doing what they feel is going to garner a big fan-base.
WWE alienated A LOT of WCW and ECW fans during/after the Invasion agnle, so the Ex-WCW and ECW guys are there to gain some of them back. And the WWE guys ware just there to try and draw in casual fans. Most marks would rather watch a show with old WWE guys than anyone else. And with TNA not having any school/developmental camp, this is gonna be their business model for a while
