See now you're contradicting yourself, why are we supposed to just enjoy Impact if you're not gonna be fair and just like Raw no matter what as well? I enjoy both but you cant expect everyone to, and it's not like your post is gonna change that. Because tna's story lines dont suck Sorry, dude. Anything WWE has done lately >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> VKM, or the stupid Christy/women's division storyline. In my opinion, anyway. EDIT: Or, for that matter, the incredibly weird Sting-Abyss thing. And speaking of Sting-Abyss ... titles have never, ever changed hands on a DQ before TNA. not regularly, anyway. That was just stupid. And Sting told them he'd do the job! How effin' stuid is that?! I swear, I'm not trying to play "WWE fanboy," but TNA isn't all it's cracked up to be, either. Not these days, and not with Russo on board.

spoilers or not, i know who it is and i couldn't care less See.. If you were actually watching as a fan, and not some desk top booker, you would probably enjoy it more. desk top booker? i am not one of these people who goes onto wrestling forums every week to say what wrestling companies should or should not be doing. i critisize tna because they think their product is ten thousand times greater than what they are actually producing.

Dusty era was the worst. The story's were dumb. There was a womens match were the women were fighting over dusty... There wasn't even a pay off to the match. Yes, there was. Dusty picked them both, cause he was hardcore. As I remember, the match was between Trinity and Tracy to determine who would be Dusty's permanent secretary, since they were both fighting over the role. Trinity won the match, and Dusty announced that she won the spot, which she would share... ...with Tracy.

i critisize tna because they think their product is ten thousand times greater than what they are actually producing. That's promoting! Do you criticize McDonalds for calling their fries "America's Favorite" and you don't agree? Do you criticize the box of a mediocre video game for hyping itself to get you to buy it?

Did you prove my point? no, proving your point would be for me to say what i would do with the cage/angle feud or vkm/hemmey feud. my point is saying that tna is not as great as they claim to be. if the wwe came out every week and said they were the greatest wrestling show during every single match and took potshots at a competitor that doesn't even acknowledge their existence on the air, then i would complain about wwe. tna was a lot better in 2004 on fsn when they were worried about being the best they could be and not about being WCW Version 2.

Let's get one thing straight here:
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, was worse than Dusty's booking of TNA.
There was literally ONE good thing to come from that: the AJ/Daniels feud.

There was literally ONE good thing to come from that: the AJ/Daniels feud. wasnt there like 3 ultimate x matches in the span of one or two months? I really hated the idea of Lockdown too but I guess that's become tradition sadly.

I am critical of everything Russo does becaue I don't want him screwing up TNA like he did w/WCW. That said I have been impressed lately, I just wish they had a two hour show

Unless they're saying something like "It'll be a Zelda-killer!", then I don't care.

No one screams at their box "You Lied to me!" or something. People compain about the content. There's notihg wrong about hyping oneself, short of lying. You can't, in all good consiousness, talk about the bad things when selling something. You can't do it, and expect to succeed. You hype shit in any way you can (ECW: Accentuate the positives, hide the negatives.).

I dont care if they have alot of storylines and maybe one or two 3 min minute matches, just give us a good 15 min main event every week with NO commericals. God damn they take commercials way too much on that channel/show...

Not these days, and not with Russo on board. So, just cause it wasn't mentioned in every title match every 5 seconds, it isn't valid anymore? It's still a damn rule. Easy, killer. I'm just saying, it seemed awfully strange for Sting to say "I'll job the title to Abyss cleanly, the traditional way, 1-2-3 in the ring," only for Russo or whoever to say, "Nah, let's exercise a rule that everyone's forgotten about anyway. That'll show those people who want consistency!" And, if it was "mentioned in every title match every 5 seconds," as you put it, then wouldn't that kind of give away the ending? I'm not trying to hate on TNA. I've seen some of their shows and - with the exception of the Jarrett push-to-the-moon (I've never seen him as more than a midcarder, but that's just my opinion) - I liked it. But time and time again, Vince Russo has put his Reverse Midas Touch on something he thought would be gold, only to turn it into a festering pile. I'd hate for that to happen to TNA. Also, how long did it take WCW to actually "compete" with WWE? (I mean overall, not just the "Monday night Wars.") It seems like TNA is trying to rush things, and that can't be good, either. Wait for Vince to make a bigger mistake than losing Christian and Angle, and then try to be viable competition. I don't think Russo is the man for the job, unfortunately.

Dude, if a show absolutely sucks then it absolutely sucks. I don't care who's writing it. Yup
