i know tna not as good as it should be lately, but why is it gettin less respect just cause pacman jones, I am not tryin be a tna mark but the wwe has had kfed pin its champion, and yet noone complains about it as much as pacman jones, obviously tna needs step up and fix its problems but why does it get hated on so much here, when wwe has equally bad things like a midget bein cruiserweight champ and buryin the cruiserweight division, is the wwe allowed to have crap and tna can't?

Well because they don't talk about the WWE in this section. I suggest you look on there for uber wwe hate.

As a devoted TNA fan, I can only say: Thanks for giving them more ammunition.  |

While your eloquence leaves a little something to be desired, you do have a decent point. Both TNA and WWE are shit right now, but it seems like only TNA catches crap from people for it, while WWE gets praised for doing equally stupid stuff. Why? I don't know, but it happens.

I saw people falling over themselves about how funny the Noble sketch was where he was trying to catch Hornswaggle tonight, and could only shake my head. I'm all for comedy, but that's so broad, it's cartoonish. If TNA tried something like that, people would be swarming praying for TNA's demise. |

There are 2 major differences between K-Fed & Pacman. K-Fed fought Cena on free TV and was actually allowed to make contact with Cena. TNA is making fans pay to see Pacman wrestle in a match where he can't legally touch anyone. Second thing is that K-Fed is a jerk while Pacman's claim to fame is getting kicked out of the NFL for multiple arrests and most heinously is allegedly involved in an incident that has left a man crippled for life in a wheelchair.

Because WWE can afford to do it while TNA has to do something to get the ratings up. I didn't think the Knoble stuff was funny but it was only about 5 minutes. The Angle comedy pieces seem to last about 20 minutes in a hour show combined. |

i do believe people have stated this in the past, but i can only speak for myself.
the reason i'm so critical about TNA is their stance of "WE ARE WRESTLING" and taking shots at the WWE (though that seems to died off although I haven't watched in maybe 2 months). yet, they've become that which they mocked. no longer is TNA a fun alternative to the WWE, but a diet-version with no sugar OR caffeine. i don't remember how long ago it was that i started watching, but Impact was really fun. they have a phenomenal roster but waste money on football players who will not affect the ratings in any form and will leave as soon as their suspension is over. they sign steroided horsefaces (i know he's fired, but if his bacne clears up he'll be back), Dustin Runnels who as I can assume went to TNA for the lack of a drug policy (smooth move), and hold onto washed-up talent that every selling point has already been squeezed out of (VKM, 3D, Sting, Steiners).
it's just sad to see something i enjoyed so much turn into the circus that i can actually LAUGH at the WWE for attributing to. i think therein lies the key difference.
also, i need to learn how to write proper paragraphs.

and your point is? how does it make more fair for kfed then? he pinned the wwe champ and hes a non wrestler, pacman jones is a football player and has never even wrestled yet, yet u say a skinny white guy is more credible then a former football player? who has not even wrestled yet?

Chikara's comedy is actually clever for the most part, and honestly, with the exception of the undercard, they don't do that much wacky comedy, and what comedy they do, they keep fresh. WWE and TNA's version of "Comedy" involves ramming the same idiotic jokes over and over into the ground(DAMN!!! I'm-a Italian-a!!!!), and the sometimes just plain stupid(Pretty much every TNA "comedy" skit recently, yes, even those involving Kevin Nash, who has gotten REALLY lame). There's a BIG difference. |

I am not tryin be a tna mark but the wwe has had kfed pin its champion, and yet noone complains about it as much as pacman jones? 1- You ARE being a TNA mark. Which hey, that's your choice. 2- Kevin Federline is the f'n man. He should be able to pin whoever he wants. Not only that but it was because of outside interference. You're doin what everybody else does, giving into the hype of America's Most Hated. |

Technically "sports entertainment" and "wrestling" aren't really that much different. Unless you go for a ROH-purist type deal wrestling typically has angles and skits. Yet TNA gets flack and WWE gets praised.
