Even with WWE as bad as it is (depending on whom you ask, and to what it is you're comparing them to, etc), they're always going to generate more of an interest than anything TNA could hope for. They've (WWE) got more exclusive talent, where as the majority of TNA's roster is expendable, and they can (and have) put on better matches in the past with less. Not to mention the fact that Kurt Angle's turned the place into his personal pocket vagina, in that he's slowly raping them of any and all worth/credibility they have or had been building. I find it to be quite humorous . . . |

Here's what I know of the current situation in TNA. I have to disagree about what you said about Kurt Angle. Whether you like it or not, Kurt's reign has produced three 1.2's. On a little side note, I can't I like putting Kurt Angle over Joe at Hard Justice, but I understand the booking. Sting/Abyss/Test vs. Christian/Styles/Tomko winner is the number 1 contender, so I'm assuming Angle vs. Sting is happening at No Surrender, and I'm fairly certain the Bound For Glory main event is going to Angle vs. Jarrett. In an ideal situation, Joe would be allowed to go over, but Joe doesn't really have anyone to feud with. I guess, rather than taking their chances with having Joe feud with someone, they're going to take their chances with keeping Joe in the company. |

Which means jack if he can't bring in more PPV buyrates.
Still doesn't explain putting EVERY title on one man. |

Given so little time to build, I wouldn't think the Winner take all match would do as well as TNA would have hoped, but signs point to it being a good buyrate, perhaps, 40,000-45,000 buys.
If they really want to, it's probably a good way to phase out the X title, and I know a face tag team is going to be getting a rub off Angle. Originally, the only face tag teams were Backlund and Lynn (god...) and VKM (no comment) but I imagine this was pretty much the purpose of Triple X. |

Isn't the IWGP Title on the line, too? |

I don't think it means anything to this storyline, they could have done it without that title. It's just kind of thrown it there, it's not serving a purpose. Unless they want to bring in Nagata for a one-time shot or something. Kurt'll probably just drop that in Japan. |

Honestly, it's becoming a bad sitcom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh4y8Yc0NHA Seriously though if TNA are gona hire everyone who ever had a job at the WWE, couldn't they at least hire the ones who could work or even draw? |

It's like watching that old movie Reefer Madness or any other horribly acted movie. Looking at it seriously makes you hate it, but watching it as a comedy makes it an interesting expirence. |

Test and Albert could work, they just couldn't draw any reaction from the crowd even if they wrestled nude with "The Juniors" (Who I'm sure, in a month's time, will be signed by TNA) |

I feel TNA sort of gets a bad rap because their roster is what, 20% former WWE guys? In 2006 and 2007- Guys released by WWE who have since appeared for TNA: -The Heart Throbs (brought in as a one-time shot, since TNA ran out of heel tag teams) -Tyson Tomko (brought in because of his preexisting relationship with Christian. I don't know what purpose he serves now.) -Animal (brought in as a one-time shot, for nostalgia since Scott Steiner got injured) -Goldust (was in TNA in 2005, meh) -Kurt Angle (If you were TNA, you can't tell me you wouldn't have brought in Angle) -The Bashams (brought in to feud with VKM..bleh) -Test (I don't know why he's there) Guys released by WWE who haven't since appeared for TNA: -Juventud Guerrera -Heidenreich -The Dicks -All the Juniors -Rosey -Orlando Jordan -Kid Kash -Justin Credible -Marty Jannetty -Brent Albright -Psicosis -Danny Doring -C.W Anderson -Rodney Mack -Joey Mercury -Rob Conway -Vito -Sabu -Scotty 2 Hotty -Nick Mitchell -Johnny Parisi -Gangrel -The Gymini -Tony Mamaluke -Sylvester Terkay -Tatanka |

The thing is, of those guys that they hired from WWE, they get almost all the screen time. Which is bad when you only have an hour show, and you're trying to push everyone. |

He was released in 2005. Man, that guy was bad.
Not particularly. In the past year, the focus in TNA has really been Sting, Abyss, Joe, Christian and Angle, and only the last two are from WWE. Not to mention they're both good in the ring and on the mic, so I don't see any problem with the pushing of Christian or Angle. I suppose you could argue that Tomko is getting screen time, but it's due to the fact that he has a preexisting relationship with Christian, not because he was in WWE. I'm positive Tomko will be depushed inside of four months (after Christian's coalition disbands, and I'm sure it will soon, because it's getting a little stale, and TNA does a good job of main-event angles before they're stale, although sometimes they forget the midcard, I think Roode/Young's been going on for nine months) and Tomko will be gone inside a year. Other than that, who else from WWE is getting airtime? A list of who's getting the most airtime in TNA, from what I've seen: 1. Angle T-2. Joe T-2. Christian 4. Abyss 5. Sting T-6. Tomko T-6. Styles 8. Roode 9. Storm 10. Rhino |

The only thing Kurt Angle's good at is self marking/endorsement. That, and keeping Samoa Joe away from the World Title, but you can't give him all the credit for that one . . . |

If Conway doesnt eventually get hired by TNA , I will be highly surprised, and a little bit disappointed. |

Perhaps WWE can throw them a bone and allow them to use Conway's bitching entrance music. "Just look...at me. I'm a sight...to see." |

"Oh, just look at me.. Aint I a sight to see? The whole damn world wants to look like me ... But they dont. So just, look at me.. Unlike you, I've been around the world... And unlike you, I've had my way with many many girls.. Every morning they say the same damn thing.. "How can you be so good at everything?" And I say, "Its just so easy for me.. its just so easy" So just... Look at me." All of that was from pure memory. It was indeed bitching. |

He's been better in the ring then I thought he would be, solid on the mic as ever, and he's drawing. What's your problem with him, other than like, insanity or whatever? |
