An actual effective way to end this storyline is to have some tag team come out and be like, "You know, all you guys ever do is b**** and moan about people that aren't even in the company! Well we're here to shut you up."
Fued ensues.

I'm enjoying VKM. Their skits are entertaining. Obviously it's working to a certain extent because the WWE has taken notice of it.

I was kinda thinking the same thing, but instead of a team coming out, have VKM say something to the effect of "since them other boys won't answer our challenge, we'll offer it up to any team in TNA. Then they can have a bunch of matches with other teams trying to win the million dollar challenge. First team to beat them cleanly wins the million bucks. At least they could make some matches out of the situation.

I just can't get that worked up about them. For the couple minutes they're on my TV a week, there's really nothing that makes me say "Oh God, this is awful," or anything that suddenly makes me look down on TNA as a whole.
If anything, I get maybe a chuckle out of it, but end up feeling completely neutral towards it.
I guess I just don't see what's THAT annoying OR entertaining about it.

This sums up my reaction toward them. That make me laugh, that's all.

Watched the segment, only laughed at the part where they ripped off Dumb and Dumber to make a joke. I still find it detrimental to TNA only in that no payoff comes from it and still looks a tad bit bush league. I'm not denying it was funny, but it was pointless.

So is PCS, but everyone seems to like that. Not to be argumentative, but PCS is no better. And VKM aren't making a group of up-and-coming stars that could very well be the future of the promotion look like fools.

The PCS is basically pointless considering they have only had one match, soon to be two, for the entire thing. The skits are hilarious but I want to see them show what TNA really is. They ARE wrestling when they want but it's certainly lacking it as of late.

I didn't realize that actually making some people (me included) see that Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal could have actual, ya know, PERSONALITES, was in fact making them look like fools (and I was skeptical about Nash's intentions but there ya go). We already know the X-Division can go in the ring, but up until now they were just generic wrestlers, at least now they have shown that they have some semblance of personalities etc. But I didn't come here to argue.

I guess we just disagree on how to develop a performer's personality. PCS just seems like short segments of Jackass without them stapling their balls to their legs. The skits are funny, sure, but (speaking in kayfabe here) these guys look like total fools by buying into Nash's idea of training or whatever the hell they're supposed to be doing. Instead of doing what they do best, they're bouncing on pogo sticks. But I won't debate (not argue) any further. It's obvious that Lance Storm and I are the only ones who don't like PCS.

I though the segment wasn't bad, as it was comical, and no real mention of "Hickenbottom" except for the beginning and end.
I also don't get why people just don't watch them, so they don't have to complain about watching them. I bet you guys are smart enough to figure out something to do the 2-3 minutes VKM is on screen. Put mute on and play with a Game Boy, go on Youtube and look at the "Dick in a Box" SNL skit, Listen to "The Final Countdown", or something.

At least VKM doesn't take up much time with their skits. Yes, some people don't like them, but they're nowhere near as bad as DX skits, in my opinion. In general, excluding 3D's long winded blathering, TNA keeps a better pace to their shows.

I hate how everyone dumps on anything that isn't putting younger guys over, or building up to a PPV match etc. Just watch and enjoy. I don't like it because it's not entertaining and I don't enjoy it. How can I watch and enjoy something I don't enjoy in the first place? It's just a preference issue.

Well like it or not VKM is getting the job done. When Vince is getting anoyed but TNA chants and VKM chants and is canceling Press Conferences because of it. That says a lot. The WWE now realizing about TNA now.
You may not like it but you know what, they got the WWE's attention. That's what they wanted to do. They may not say anything on Raw or Smackdown, but that not the point. Now it may end because of D-X being gone because HHH injury but the point is it worked for the most part. Now there may not been no shoot fight but they got there attention.

They are the reason I am not ordering the PPV this Sunday. Last time the were on the PPV for 20 minutes to issue a challenge that everyone in their right mind (except the owner of TNA for some reason) knew was going to be ignored and now they are going to declare victory on this one. I'll just wait for the PPV review to see if I should get the replay or buy it off of eBay for $10 bucks.
At least the PCS has given the X divisioners some personality and is setting up the Starr/Shelley feud. What has VKM done for anyone in TNA?

They indirectly acknowledged them on their website. Cancelled Press Conferences. And now TNA chants are occuring AT WWE EVENTS. VKM has also had two matches. PCS has had one. PCS is doing a ton of work for them. Besides, If Kev isn't in the announcing booth then most people will forget about their newly found 'personalities' especially the new viewers who tune into it.

PCS is doing a ton of work for them. Besides, If Kev isn't in the announcing booth then most people will forget about their newly found 'personalities' especially the new viewers who tune into it. They are chanting TNA (At least from what I have read. I could really care less as until it clearly on TV like the last RAW, then most people wont notice). TNA is getting the attention not VKM and that could be due to Angle/Joe or the X Division more than VKM. When was VKM's second match? Better yet 1 match vs. 2 matches over a 3 month period. BFD. Again, if they build off of the PCS like they appear to be doing then it has worked, what can happen with VKM? If someone challenges them inside of TNA becuase all they do is fight people that aren't in the company (as one person sugessted) then what good has it done? It either makes TNA look bad (to new fans and those not on the 'net, you know the important ones to TNA) because 2 top stars don't care about the company or it makes VKM look weak because all they did was try and fight people who didn't even give them the time of day.
