Your TNA 2007 Midterm Report

[#Classic Hi-Definition X]

And if you want to include why, feel free.

C+. I decided to cut them some slack, as Christan's efforts have been good, and they've had some good things happen, but it's barely passing, all the same.

Why AJ and Samoa Joe are second bananas is beyond me. I sometimes think TNA is afraid of meaningful success.

[Rube]

I voted B... Mostly because of the Christian Coalition but there have also been a lot of great matches.

D.

They did have some things going that I liked earlier in the year, and even right before I stopped watching. But there was just so much wrong with everything. They need improvement.

Definitely, D.

They need to improve. A lot.

I was incredibly hyped at the beginning of the year. Now, I hardly bother watching, and on the off-chance I do, I just get more and more frustrated with their apparant determination to piss away all of their potential.

C-

Storyline wise has improved lately, in my opinion. Plus I don't mind A.J. Styles being a lacky, I like that he has personality now. Before I was never a fan, I thought he was great in the ring, but I never got into his character, that has changed. I don't think they are holding Samoa Joe back, I did, but lately it seems like they are trying to build him back up again from scratch. I won't be surprised if Joe takes the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Angle at Bound for Glory. Christian Cage has obviously been the high point of TNA. I have lost interest in Abyss, though. The fued between him and Sting went on for far too long. Latin American Exchange with Konnan was great, but without they are only good. Murder City Machine guns have become my favorite tag team, and even Black Machismo has grown on me, as silly as the gimmick is, Jay Lethal does a hell of job in making it work.

My biggest problem with TNA is there booking/storyline's[especially from earlier this year], they seem to either rush things, or drag them out for too long. Sometimes the storylines are very nonsensical to the point you don't really know what's going. It's like RD said "they think wrestling is to simple, so they complicate things".

I strongly dislike VKM, in a time when they should be focusing on things to gain ratings, they waste time with things that cause people to tune out.

Oh, and every match doesn't have to be a gimmick match.

With that said, I like the idea of the Match of Champions. Just wish it was Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe vs. A.J. Styles and Christian Cage.

C-, because while I have stopped watching, I would watch more if it were easier (no cable tv). But I am bored to tears with the old veterans from WCW. I really liked TNA when it was centered on the X Division, and I just think the X Division has been jobbed out from what it was.

A second hour would do them wonders. I'm just afraid they'd use it not to slow things down, but to do what they're doing now, just an hour longer. And it really seems like the only homegrown talent they're willing to push these days are Samoa Joe and Abyss. I miss the days when they were on Fox Sports Net, and you BARELY saw anybody you recognized from WWE (unless you were an indy fan, which I wasn't at the time).
