It's just all over the place and predictable with good wrestlers scattered everywhere. I can't wait till summer of 2011 when Randy Orton walks out of the crowd and says "Hey Yo." and the next week they bring out Batista who Batista Bombs Eric Bischoff threw a table.  Okay I got that wrong. Orton wouldn't say Hey Yo. He'd probably just stand their all wooden and then speak in his very deep monotone voice. |

And then Triple H is revealed as the third man?
That would actually be pretty damn awesome.

Seems more like WCW 2000 to me.
(And Randy Orton is awesome, BTW.)

I watched the last part of iMPACT when Hogan and Sting were squaring off and JJ came in and I just kind of threw my hands up in the air and thought, "They took WCW's storyline with Hogan and Sting and just added Jeff Jarrett - so they're basically doing WCW 1998 AND WCW 2001."
So apparently they thought that Hogan and Sting aren't a big enough angle to close the show so they added the ratings killer Jeff Jarrett!

WCW in it's dying days wasn't this bad Did you watch WCW in its dying days? TNA is better than WWE in its current thriving days so I don't see how it has sunk to THAT level. People just love to throw around the WCW comparison because of the familiar faces, not because of any actual comparison between the products. When TNA calls for a reboot and ceases all title runs, all storylines, all face/heel alignment and starts from scratch, has Kevin Nash destroy the entire roster single handedly, have a PINFALL finish to a strap match...well then you can call me. But until then it's just a silly comparison in my opinion. |

Hogan with backstage pull? Check. Russo and Bischoff with backstage pull? Check. Ex WWF guys getting a lot of the top spots? Check. Hogan destorying the heel roster single handedly? Check. Bashing those "guys up north"? Check. Rules to matches never explained on TV? Check - see Monster's Ball this past Monday. Its not EXACTLY WCW, but its not far off at this point. |

I'm a Hogan mark/apologist, but did you notice when he came in it took one shot to knock out everyone BUT Flair?
Really Hulk? Really?

You must've missed the part where the MCMG handed Hall & Nash's asses to them & that BMI had to save them by sneaking up on them. |

WWE seems like it was in 1995 with it being childish. Maybe in 2011 WWE and TNA can be like they were in 1996 and so on so we can have another Attitude Era. Maybe ROH can be on national TV (HDnet doesn't count) in 2013.

The WCW 1995 comparison isn't very valid considering WCW was running monthly PPVs and Clash specials across the country, taped their primary TV show in different arenas every few weeks, and was able to consistently draw over 2,000 fans to their house shows.
A more apt comparison would be the Global Wrestling Federation: running their TV out of one building and focusing on older stars (in this case, World Class veterans).
