here is some good news about tna if anyone is interested.
it may seem like a small thing but i find it pretty cool that not only am i seeing no surrender advertisements on channels i have never seen tna advertise on, but the commercial running at least in this area features nothing but abyss hyping him up as a crazy monster. kurt is not in it, and it looks like they are using kurt to make abyss bigger in the company which could lead to them starting shift focus and giving back to those that have been there.

That would be great but none of that matters until they hire better camera men and increase production values.
The whole presentation screams B level and even the die hard TNA fans have to admit that.

WWE has the money and time for celebrities on there show.
Pacman eats up a big percentage of TNA's budget and weekly time.
When K-fed was on RAW, he took up 20 minuts of WWE's 5 weekly hours.
TNA on the other hand only has 1 hour and Pacman eats up 20 minutes of it.

I think TNA just needs to get back to bread and butter, not wine and cheese.

TNA on the other hand only has 1 hour and Pacman eats up 20 minutes of it. Yeah, I couldn't believe that Pacman was on the show for twenty minutes this week. I was sitting there going, "Damnit, get this guy off my television screen!!!!!111!!!!!"  He was on the show twice. For a total of roughly three minutes, and three minutes is being generous (because it seemed like less than that). He said one sentence backstage, and then spraypainted Angle at the end. That's hardly a fifth of the show. |

That's hardly a fifth of the show. How many times was he mentioned in commentary, that counts as eating up time as well. It's a company with plenty of wrestlers and a non-wrestler is getting a tag title shot with a guy who hasn't been on the air for like 3 months until Pacman came. I'd rather see LAX, MCMG, XXX, Team 3D, The Steiners or VKM get a tag title shot than a football player and a guy who was thrown in a team with him. |

To me, that is a complete and total lie or blind mark BS. I haven't decided which. No, that is my opinion. Why would I lie about my own opinion? The entire point of a message board is to state your view. And like I've said before: a mark is a gullible fan who praises one product. Since I am a fan of all pro wrestling EXCEPT for Vince's twisted "entertainment" version (which could be called "non-entertaining Entertainment")-- I am the opposite of a mark. In the 90s I liked ECW and WCW, and today TNA and ROH. So how can I be a mark? |

Also, it's hard to be the Minor Leagues when you're the best know company in the business. |

I suppose people are a little biased against TNA. I suppose it may have to do with bitterness from many for TNA not living up to what they wanted it to be, and the truth is they really don't know what that is. At best, they want TNA "to be different from WWE and not suck."
I could be wrong, though. I'm not a fan of the current TNA at all, either.

TNA has wined and dined with kings and queens, but now is in the gutter eating pork and beans.
If you willlllllllllllll.

Also, it's hard to be the Minor Leagues when you're the best know company in the business. Re-read my quote. Pay special attention to the words, "To me" and the word "opinion." Whever I have seen WWE performers in the ring (and I don't watch) it doesn't equal the quality of TNA or ROH matches. |

Sorry man, I can respect (and hell I agree) about WWE being totally unentertaining, but to call it the minor leagues under ANY stretch of the imagination, is foolish, thats like me calling the NHL the minor leagues compared to WHL because I think WHL has better games. |
