    Hey guys, I'm pretty down on TNA in general, so I'm looking for any positives to make me feel better about it! Anything that could be a reason to tune into the show. It doesn't have to relate to WWE at all, just any aspect of TNA that adds to why you watch the show.

    I'll start off :

    Bully Ray. The guy's obviously very motivated with his weight loss and i think he's doing a great job as the surrogate leader of immortal. Plays his part very well.

    I love watching Kurt Angle wrestle,his matches are generally awesome.

    Sting's new character is awesome,Eric Young is brilliant in general and I like being able to watch Austin Aries on my TV!

    The women are a cut above WWE's,especially Rosita and Winter.

    Seeing Bully Ray, it makes you wonder why he was never given a run on his own before. I guess with the Dudley's being so successful, it's almost taboo to break up a successful tag-team. I agree, he's very good - but they need to put a belt on him and give him some momentum.

    Eric Young is hilarious. He's a very good wrestler too when he wants to show it.

    I like it when they go touring in the bigger arenas. The bigger arena atmosphere totally adds to the show. The normal impact arena is just too small, and there is absolutely no atmosphere from it.

    Angle is great, but he's getting old and has lost a serious amount of weight. He can't be anymore than 190lbs at this point. He doesn't have many miles left unfortunately.

    Sting is good for nostaglia purposes, and is great on the mic - but he's old and has slowed down alot.

    TNA still feels very WCW-lite to me. It wants to be WCW so bad, but is intent in staying in that impact arena for most of their shows - so they will never do it. They also need to employ someone to create better entrance music, because 90% of it is generic trash.

    No it's not, i'd say only around 20-25% is generic. Dale Oliver does a fantastic job creating the themes.

    Agree with the Bully Ray comments, his promos have been some of the best delivered this year with the way he accentuates every word in his annoying New York accent. You wait 10 years for a decent Bully Ray promo and now we get one almost every week.

    Angle's TNA theme is pretty cool,as is Anderson's,Sting's,Winter's,Style's and Hardy's.

    Honestly, for me:


    I f*ckin love Robbie E's gimmick

    both dudleys were given singles run in wwe in 2002
    Angle is great, but he's getting old and has lost a serious amount of weight. He can't be anymore than 190lbs at this point. He doesn't have many miles left unfortunately.

    he is down to 185 atm but that weight loss had to do with the role he played in an upcoming movie, he plays a middleweight mma fighter in the movie

    positives of tna, well they put on a good houseshow, russo not allowed near the booking for those shows really tell

    I'm a sucker for nostalgia and no one offers a better nostalgia pop than TNA.

    It is getting increasingly hard to find them it is becoming late 80s WCCW on and off screen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    Positives....at least Kevin Nash & Matt Hardy aren't employed by tna at the moment.

    the only thing i liked about tna was the x division and the 6 sided ring which have suffered over the years. im wwe true and true even when wcw was dominating il never change over but i still watch the odd tna event. the women division is 10 times better than wwe's.

    what annoys me about tna is its far to cheesy for my liking and only a handful of stars


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,289 ✭✭✭parker kent


    Positives and TNA? I'm sure if they did regular drug tests there would be a lot of positives :pac:

    But seriously, I am glad to see Bubba Ray get his moment.

    AJ Styles is one of my one of my favourite wrestlers in terms of in-ring action as well. He is a perpetual positive for TNA.

    The PPV threads are usually very easy to read.

    The potential for a great Ric Flair and/or Scott Steiner promo is always there :D

    FÚCKING SPOILER TAGS MISSUS! :mad:
