A bit like the Batman & Robin film, everyone always complains about the ridiculous storylines and atrocious stuff with heel Dixie (hell the only things that keep me watching every week are EGO and EC3) but why don't we all stop being negative and when ever an cringe inducing segment comes on, why don't we just think of it as 'It's so bad its good'
Edit: There is far too much negativity on this board, at least TNA has EGO/Bad Influence! Isn't that good enough!? They make the show!!

TNA is often so bad it's good, with some incredibly stupid but entertaining angles, but they are also often so bad it's boring. They also have a WAY worse hit rate than WWE when it comes to spunking away a great angle when they have one, although I generally exclude most of 2012 from this argument. WWE's stupid but entertaining angles generally start off stupid and continue stupid. TNA starts with a great idea, and then steadily ruins it so that by the time the stupid becomes entertaining, you're already too resentful at what could have been. At least TNA has EGO/Bad Influence! Isn't that good enough!? They make the show!! No, it isn't. I'm not going to waste two hours of my life per week and buy a PPV for one tag team, no matter how entertaining they are.

I've given up on TNA actually being a good wrestling promotion, but there's still too much talent I want to follow that they have, so I'm determined to enjoy the show one way or the other, even if it is reveling in their stupidity.

TNA is way past the whole 'so bad, it's good' aspect by this point for me. They were at that stage in 2007 or so when they had Sting & Abyss feud in a pseudo casket match while a crowd chanted 'fire Russo!' at the top of their lungs. Now it's just sad to see them back in - well, close enough too - the old sound stage after so many failed endevours; going on the road; going live against Raw on Mondays; hiring the biggest star in wrestling history, Hulk Hogan. None of these worked & makes them look bad for tucking their tails & failing so many times.
They were much better as a company highlighted by AJ/Joe/Daniels X-Division matches & one hour shows on the internet.

I wouldn't call Batman & Robin so bad it's good. When you get past the absurdity of Mr. Freeze (which is appropriately so bad it's good), it's mostly just dull without much worth remembering.

I know what "so bad it's good" is. TNA isn't it.

Well, if it is that way it's still better than WWE which I just find boring.

It flips between £Better than the bullshit WWE is putting out this week" and "So bad it's good" about every month. I'd still rather watch it than WWE though

Last night was the worst 2 hours of a wrestling program I think I've ever seen. If I didn't have some compulsive disorder to keep watching everything WWE or TNA throws at me I wouldn't be still watching.

TNA is not even bad right now. It's just uninteresting.

Sometimes, like the Batman and Robin film, something can be so bad it's a waste of everyone's time , the potential of the product, and everyone involved.

The only thing making TNA so bad that it's good is usually the Impact thread, if I had to watch without the benefit of the thread I probably wouldn't make it through a lot of weeks.

TNA isn't bad, it's stale.
The issue is if TNA moves on guys like Aries, Roode, Daniels, AJ, Joe etc the IWC complains. If those guys stay on top the IWC complains. It's lose-lose for TNA in the eyes of the IWC.

It's lose-lose for TNA in the eyes of the IWC. Really? It's the IWCs fault that TNA make bad decisions? The IWC aren't the people that decided to have two Roode-Angle matches end with Angle convulsing on the mat. We didn't have Joe vs Magnus end with Joe running headfirst into a chair like a f***ing moron.

The general wrestling fan is tired of the TNA main event scene being the same guys over and over that's why ratings have dropped and even the hardcore TNA fans (Like me) are growing tired of it all. There is only so many times we can see a feud between two guys who have already feuded 2 or 3 times in the past.

People thought William Hung was so bad, he's good also. Once people got tired of his shit, he faded away into obscurity.

It bounces back and forth between to me sometimes. One week it can get a good chuckle out of me, a good match every now and again. Then it becomes insufferable the next. I have never experienced such a roller coaster of quality TNA has provided over the years.
