IMO This has been the first time in weeks that I've watched TNA and this is the most entertaining crap I have seen all week.
I'm usually pretty critical but this.... This 2 hours has breathed life into TNA for me
Between Angle, Christian, and the rest it has become like a smurfing cartoon
And I love it

I agree, both have their faults but TNA seems to actually be trying, Vince just knows he's getting the money and just puts anything out for the most part.

(overall) I don't think I've ever enjoyed watching pro wrestling this much from start to finish

I think they are moving in the right direction, they still need to improve in the following areas though
1. Team 3D should never do in ring promos, just turn them face and have every tag match they are in be a table match
2. Push Sabin and Shelley, they are talented and everyone loves them
3. Less time for has beens and more time for talented young guys like Styles, Daniels, Sabin, Eric Young, Black Machismo
4. never have more than one match per week invovling the women
5. Advertise and show off that star studded tag division
6. Keep to their name...Total Nonstop Action (layoff the in-ring promos (they bore me) 2-3 minute backstage interviews or skits are much more entertaining. The ring is for wrestling

It's been like this with me for the past two or three weeks. A month or so ago whenever they had their first two-hour show, I thought it stunk. If you had told me that I'd be really into it by this time, much less enjoying it more than WWE, I'd have said you were crazy, but there it is.

I am really liking TNA. I just could never get into the one-hour shows, but I really feel the in-ring product is superior to WWE's.
As for storylines and gimmicks, they're doing pretty well, but something's missing or awkward about them. Can't put my finger on it.

I thought Impact was great this week. It's the first Impact that I can really remember being into in all aspects. I thought the stuff with Kurt was great, the matches were great, everything seemed to flow really well this week. Let's hope they can keep it up.

This show was great, overall. I havent seen a thread stating this in a while ill give my thoughts i guess.
WWE can be great....with all the freakin talent its supposed to be great but its not.
TNA zany booking and bad editing cant help the fact that I enjoy it alot more then wwe.

Honestly, this was the most entertaining tv wrestling show I've seen in I don't even know how long. I think they are moving in the right direction, they still need to improve in the following areas though 1. Team 3D should never do in ring promos, just turn them face and have every tag match they are in be a table match 2. Push Sabin and Shelley, they are talented and everyone loves them 1. Promos are the only thing they're good at. 2. They are.

They should make a TNA Fantasy game, since Angle and Borash would have gotten 674 points tonight in appearances.
I will give TNA this -- I loved how Eric Young said that Sting's partner was going to be the Shockmaster. Because the Shockmaster actually WAS Sting's partner back in WCW. That was an amazing reference!

In my opinion, TNA's tag matches are alot better than WWE's tag matches. TNA's are more balanced while WWE's has the weakest face getting beaten up for 3/5 of the match before the hot tag.

I'm a TNA guy (mostly because of Sting), But felt WWE had the advantage. Now for the first time I do think TNA is better. People will bring up ratings, But WWE has been around forever and will always have better ratings. But that doesn't mean its a better product.
When WCW won 81 weeks in a row, I would say the WWE had better shows the final 10 weeks of that streak even though the ratings didn't reflect that.
Now to be fair, Injuries has set the WWE back. But storylines like the hornswoggle being Vince's son doesn't help.
Sting, Angle and Nash have been great and now with Hall comng in and maybe Booker will only help. TNA's undercard with Joe vs Roode and Christian in the tournament and the tag teams trumps WWE.
So I admit TNA is better now. The only thing I ever disagreed with was people saying ECW was better than TNA. ECW in nowhere close to TNA.

"better THEN WWE" Do you design Randy Orton's shirts?
I like TNA lately, but I still generally prefer WWE.

TNA always cures my Insomnia as I fell asleep again during a Chris Harris match. TNA will never be better than WWE if they still have Tenay/West doing commentary. They ruin it for me.
