TNA News and Smarkbait...

[mysterydriver]

- The TNA/Spike TV conference call on Thursday will feature Father James Mitchell.

- Many members of the Roster are confused as to why the interview segment between VKM, Steiners and Team 3D went the way it did. Many in the back are angered that during that segment they put over the WWE Tag Titles, WCW Tag Titles and ECW Tag Titles and not one time during the coarse of the segment did they mention the NWA or TNA Titles. In fact, TNA wasn't mentioned at all during the promo.

This action made some of the talent uneasy because it made TNA seem insignificant. It gave many an insight to the way TNA views itself and perhaps even more unsettling is that they are more interested in trying to promote and build their company up using old "name" talent than promoting their own X Division which is what made TNA a force to begin with. It also alarmed some in the back that the references made during their promos took place 7-10 years ago devaluing the name sake of the talent bragging about their accomplishments. It would be similar to if someone like Joe Montana cutting down the accomplishments of Dan Marino during their run in the NFL while they are both playing Arena Football.

I felt like mixing it up from the regular "News and Notes."

I wonder who are these concerned "talents" mentioned in the story.

Oh well...time for some fun...

More X Division = Better TNA

lol @ having afeud between WWE, WCW & ECW champs while the TNA tag titles are held by one man. I'm not against Joe having them but it's still funny.

i wish konnan was there to say how LAX were the NWA tag champs.

The Mitchell thing should be good. Been a while since there's been one.

Also, I think some people are reading too much into this thing about the teams and the promo. The whole 3D/Steiner thing was about who was the best team, the more legendary one. That was also the basis of the 3D/James Gang feud a while before VKM happened.

It isn't discrediting to TNA, because it isn't about the promotions. it's about the teams and their status.

VKM think being the tag champs during the hottest period and with the hottest group makes them the best.

Steienrs think them breakign their asses in WCW and Japan and overseas fighting and beating high calibur guys makes them the best.

Team 3D thinks owning the WCW, WWE, ECW & TNA belts makes them the best.

This isn't about the X-Division. It CAN'T be about the X-Division. It would be like saying "Hey, let's have Hogan, Flair, and Terry Fuink come in, and get in a feud that will also involve Kenny Dykstra." It is about 3 teams with their own claims to glory wanting to see who is the best team.

Indeed. That's why I thought the whole story sounded like smarkbait.
