By the way.. the ranking system? ITS BULLSHIT.

I voted Sting 10 times and his votes didn't budge, but Jeff Hardy's did every time. Rigged bullshit, and it's so pathetic that they link you to Polldaddy.com.. they can't even host a simple poll on there site? Not to mention how unoriginal the god damn idea is.. and Bischoff had to consult with TNA officials for months over this pile of crap..

I voted for everyone once just to see what would happen, lol and I swear Jeff Hardy's votes jumped by at least 32 after I'd placed my votes. Desmond Wolf was an obvious throw away for TV as well. I think the concept is nice (not to original though, didn't the WWE do this for a few years with the IC title at Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday?) just needs better logistics.

I know this isn't a WWE versus TNA discussion, but I think TNA is just as good as WWE right now, if not better. It's kinda sad how WWE doesn't acknowledge world champions when they come over from TNA. Edge said a couple of weeks ago that Christian had never been world champ. Although he is probably referring to the WWE heavyweight belt, Christian is already known as a 3 or 4 time world champion, having won the ECW and NWA world titles.
WWE doesn't need to refrence TNA World Titles. If Edge was to of said about Christian's TNA run they are basically advertising TNA. WWE sees WWE as the only relavent thing in the buisness. They are wrestling.......or Sports Entertainment according to them. They like to live in thier own little bubble. Plus WWE doesn't count the ECW title as a World Championship since he end of 2007.

Anyway, TNA right now is interesting. I like the angle with The Beautiful People and how Velvet has to remind Madison and Lacey about their language. That's really funny. Also, they have title matches all the time, while WWE does not. WWE wrestling is somewhat stale at times.
TNA give away PPV quality matches on TV, yet have iMPACT! filler matches on PPVs. Jeff vs RVD was PPV quality. But stuff like Nash vs Young is iMPACT! matieral. Most of the booking makes little to no sense. But its LOLTNA.

What TNA needs is Shelton Benjamin. And more Japanese / Chinese wrestlers. Japan has some of the best wrestlers around. They need to reinsert Kiyoshi, Funaki, Jimmy Wang Yang and Okada.:)
TNA has a roster of 50+ guys. They use about 20 of them regularly. If Shelton were to come to TNA it would knock someone out of thier spot. TNA can do well with the people they have. Plus Shelton isn't much of a draw anyway. TNA is building Pope and Anderson for Main Eventer status. Shelton doesn't have any place to fill. Unless he came with Charlie Haas to build the tag division again. Which would be good.

Kiyoshi is currenty Suicide, and is more likely going back to All Japan. Funaki is already full-time again with ZERO-1 in Japan, and i don't see him coming back to work for the states again while he is a highly respected star over there. Yang isn't even Chinese or Japanese, he is Calafornian. He'll just lurk around the indies. And Okada came to TNA for a learning excursion, ala Liger to All Star in the UK or Ultimo Dragon to Mexcio. He won't be around for long before returning to New Japan.

^They was "listening to the fans" bro. lulz!

...Yup it makes them look very bad because they are basically accepted that they couldn't compete with the WWE and can't see themselves competing for a very long time to come. Which is what we all knew any way but the fact that TNA still tried and failed shows that at least they had the balls to give it a go.

Thursdays is the right day for TNA any way, it has nothing to compete with it in a major way, they don't have to have their eye on the "other guy" and they finally focus on being consistant with their booking.

Wow. TNA didn't last long on Mondays. I doubt TNA cares about what WWE thinks. Did you know Dixie shot on Vince recently for blasting TNA? I saw it being mentioned on Gerweck.net, a site I visit every day.

TNA made a good decision here. If anything i would of moved them to wednesdays, considering they still actually have to compete with Superstars.

But isn't Superstars just like Heat and Velocity? It's not a flagship show like Raw or SmackDown is. ;)

I'd still bet that more people know about superstars than people who know about impact!

TNA sucks at self promotion. Always has, they need to advertise on other networks far more heavily and not just during WWE shows.

They still draw a 0.7. Which iMPACT! can't.

it was retarded and totally ****ed up half the shit they were building up.

but at least a bunch of old broken down guys got to shine again before disappearing forever.. raven/dreamer was nice, rvd/sabu was nice, rest was BLAHHHHH!

i hate how they are pushing out more and more people.. first daniels, then AJ got a depush, joe got suspended, desmond is jobber status.. the only person put over this year is Jay Lethal..

..and jay is only getting the push because Flair loves his Flair impression. It's rediculous to me yet typical WCW, er I mean TNA. the old crippled guys don't want to put over the fresh talent and so you get pathetic angles and good young wrestlers being used and abused for no greater purpose than to help heel the bruised egos of guys like Hogan, Flair, etc who can't let go.

I kinda stopped watching TNA. It's becoming boring for me. I mainly watch WWE now. I only watch every now & then when I'm bored & when Raw, NXT, Superstars & SD isn't on.

I watch TNA sometimes. I wouldn't say I particularly enjoy it, but it's all right, I guess. I'm surprised Bischoff could act so serious when he was addressing the fans on the (awful) condition of RVD. They really can act the part.
