08 Predictions For Wrestling

[Bombsquad]

Honestly, it's pointless to even discuss this with you. You just blindly defend everything TNA does. It's like I'm arguing with someone who thinks the world is flat. I shouldn't have to tell you that TNA's booking is bad. If you're a wrestling fan you should be able to recognise that. I try to show you that everybody disagrees, but you dismiss everyone else's opinions. I try to show you that TNA's buyrates are in the gutter, but you claim they don't matter. Is there anything TNA could do that would force you to open your eyes? If they booked a 60-minute blindfold Iron Man match between Black Reign and Kip James, would you admit that it was bad?

If you just want to get behind an underdog promotion because you think WWE "sux", then stick to watching Ring of Honor. Stop trying to convince yourself that TNA is somehow better than WWE. It's not, it's a pale imitation. Don't try to convince yourself that the product has improved, either. If you think it's better now than in 2005, you either weren't watching in 2005 or you don't know what you're talking about.

If you have anything else to say to me, PM me. And don't hold your breath waiting for a response.

You can use the cliche of TNA being a WWE imitation all you want but just know that WCW was given that title as well when they were new and with time they became their own and or better at the WWE in their game. All I'm saying is that for a small promotion to reach where they have in 5-6 years is great. People like you put the big dog WWE pressure on TNA just because they are on tv when the reality is that they are not on the same scale. You can listen to as many internet shrinks as you want and read as many columns as you want but their job is to FIND things to write about and criticize about so they can keep getting the brainwashed such as yourself to visit their site over and over to read what they have to say. Without them finding small details to overexaggerate in colums, no one would take time to visit these colums. That is their job and you don't realize it. Anybody that can sit up here and take Lance Storm's bait on his continuous TNA columns are obviously easy to convince.

The problem with you is that you read these colums, where they overexaggerate the slight mistakes that TNA makes and then you want to compare that to the blatant things that the WWE does and try to put the two on the same scale. As bad as some of TNA's booking may be at times, you can't compare that to how Hornswoggle is being booked. And then, you sat up here and told me Cade & Murdoch are more interesting than Team 3D. You sat up here and told me that TNA's most hottest tag team, the MCMG are misused. You don't honestly believe that. But yet you want me to believe that you are not bias towards TNA in favor of WWE. Your markism towards the E was exposed in your 1st and 2nd post. You actually try to sit here and justify that WWE programming is good. Like seriously, get the fuck out of here! Enjoy Britney Spears & Hornswoggle making out!

And for your information, I support ROH as well. When they start kicking the WWE's ass, I'll be waiting for some of your excuses as to why the WWE is better than them as well.

Don't forget that it was their attempts to mimick WWE that eventually killed WCW. Thanks in no small part to the man currently on the booking committee in TNA.

All I'm saying is that for a small promotion to reach where they have in 5-6 years is great. People like you put the big dog WWE pressure on TNA just because they are on tv when the reality is that they are not on the same scale.

They're in a good position, thanks to Panda Energy and support from Spike TV. Support that the likes of ECW, and WCW in its last days, never received. But they're not making the most of their position. Their buyrates are a big concern whether you want to admit it or not.

And like I said before, everybody wants TNA to do well. Everybody would like competition because it forces all involved to up their game. But for TNA to reach a point at which it can compete, they need to improve their buyrates and start making money. If you honestly think that the product is fantastic, that's your opinion. You need to realise that not everybody shares your opinion, but you're entitled to it. I've showed you that people disagree, but you've dismissed all of it because clearly you value your own opinion higher than everybody elses. You think you're right, and you think everybody who disagrees with you is a WWE mark. I think you've probably just spent too much time hanging around with TNA marks and you've started to believe your own spin.

And if you want me to explain to you why Hornswoggle is better than Black Reign, send me a PM.

When you're a big mainstream company on a big scope that make a sudden drastic change, of course it's going to result in a sinking ship. But that's not the same scenario with TNA. I'm saying that TNA just like early WCW was "another WWF/E" just because WCW had the colorful cartoon like characters like the WWF/E but with time, WCW became their niche and started kicking ass and taking wrestling programming to a new level. That was my point.

They're in a good position, thanks to Panda Energy and support from Spike TV. Support that the likes of ECW, and WCW in its last days, never received.

Those companies had support. And if they didn't, it was nobodies falt that they didn't.

And like I said before, everybody wants TNA to do well. Everybody would like competition because it forces all involved to up their game. But for TNA to reach a point at which it can compete, they need to improve their buyrates and start making money.

That's where you're wrong. As much as people say that TNA is trying to compete, they're not trying to compete and I think they're now aware that they are far from ready from competition. You can't compete when you're getting 1.1s and your rivals/competitors are getting 3.6s. To me, it looks like TNA is focused on building there product some more and to gain and maintain a certain viewership before even thinking about taking that giant leap for competition.

And you say that TNA isn't making money, but how do you know? TNA is a private company like I said before. No one knows TNA's real situation as much as these "insider experts", websites, and "smart fans" claim they do. Because according to Dixie Carter,TNA is turning things into a profit, so that shows how much you naysayers really know.

I've showed you that people disagree, but you've dismissed all of it because clearly you value your own opinion higher than everybody elses. You think you're right, and you think everybody who disagrees with you is a WWE mark. I think you've probably just spent too much time hanging around with TNA marks and you've started to believe your own spin.

Oh please! You showed me what you wanted to show me and showed me things that would only favor your argument. Come on now. You showed me a poll where Raw got wrestling tv show of the year.:laugh: Like are you kidding? I'm sure I can find a higher percentage of people that will disagree to that.

And if you want me to explain to you why Hornswoggle is better than Black Reign, send me a PM.

Hornswoggle better than an inring veteran? I think you need your head examined.

If by "inring veteran" you mean "washed-up former WWE midcarder", then yes. :thumb:

Really? Then why didn't you use "washed-up current WWE hasbeen" Hacksaw Jim Duggan as an example. I'm sure you can tell me how much talent Hornswoggle has than Duggan.

And then you claim you're not a mark. Start looking in the mirror.

 

[Illuminattile]

When was the last time Hacksaw Jim Duggan wrestled on a PPV?

Black Reign, on the other hand, is feuding with Kaz. You know, the guy you tried to claim they were giving a serious push to?

Nothing wrong with having Hacksaw and Hornswoggle around for comedy value. People enjoy it. Nobody enjoys Black Reign.

Well, Reign is a heel, so people not enjoying it only means he's doing his job. You can't say the same for the Boogeyman, can you?

And :laugh: at you trying to defend the WWE's use of Hacksaw and Hornswoggle. But yet if they were in TNA, you'd make it out to be the worst thing in the world. Now you see why you are a mark, right?

There's a big difference between heel heat and X-Pac heat. Black Reign gets the latter.

TNA have 2 hours of TV a week. WWE have 6. Hornswoggle is like Shark Boy in TNA, he's there to provide a cheap laugh. You can't blame WWE for running with a comedy character that the fans react to. Even the New York fans at the Rumble cheered for the guy.

I've never once heard Black Reign get John Cena heat. And if he did that would be better for him.

Are you still defending the E when everyone in their right mind realizes that their wasting time giving a midget who is barely a member of an active roster receiving a push over guys who have been on the roster for years and still can't get a gimmick? Your markism keeps on showing. The WWE is about to do an incest storyline. It'll be interesting to see how you play lawyer on that case as well.:laugh:
