Default TNA wrestling

Who else watches this here? I know there are a lot of WWE fans on here and old school wrestling fans but have any of you been watching TNA lately? I'm really getting into their current product. They just got a new set with graphics and everything that looks almost as good as WWE's production. Mick Foley is the new "co-owner" and there's a real good storyline going on between the older established guys called the "Main Event Mafia" which consists of Sting (world champion), Kurt Angle, Booker T, Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner and they're feuding with the TNA "originals" Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Eric Young, Abyss and others. It's really kind of like an old school storyline we would have seen in the WWF or WCW in the late '90s/early '00s. Kevin Nash is awesome again... he grew his hair out and hit the gym hard and looks to be in the best shape he's been since he was in WCW.

They're having a PPV this sunday called Turning Point...

Main event: Sting vs. AJ Styles

Kevin Nash vs. Samoa Joe

Booker T vs. Christian Cage

Kurt Angle vs. Abyss

Sting is amazing... he's truly ageless in the ring. Sure he's not as good as he was 15 years ago but he's stayed in great shape and looks exactly the same. You should look up Samoa Joe vs. Sting on youtube or dailymotion and watch their match from Bound For Glory last month.

Exclamation Re: TNA wrestling

I watch TNA reluctantly. Great talent, poor writing & storylines. And they're also driving out all of their original talent by over paying all of the over the hill athletes who are simply just trying to milk the pro wrestling cow for as long as they can. It really is sad, honestly. I'll give you a perfect example, remember the Alpha Male Monty Brown? The real reason he left TNA was because he was due a title shot and they passed him up for it either that or he lost the match and wasnt granted a rematch, but Christian comes in and is immediately awarded the title. It's ridiculous, and TNA has pretty much become the Kurt Angle show, please give the young talent more time to shine minus the corny storylines, if TNA would cut the bullshit they would give WWE a proper run for it's money and we could possibly have another GREAT Pro Wrestling War. Just a fan observation.

It is, but at least this time they sorta made some sense with who's on who's side. In WCW, the New Blood had guys like Shane Douglas, Buff Bagwell and Sid Vicious in it. Now the young guys consist of Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Motor City Machine Guns and Jay Lethal.

I watch TNA every now and then. It's cool to watch some of the old WCW guys, and I like the X Division wrestlers, even though they barely get any time to wrestle on TV. Abyss is pretty cool too, although he's a one trick pony and can get boring after awhile. TNA actually gets higher ratings then WWE here in Australia.

I'm pretty sure she quit and is back with AAA in Mexico.

I watched a clip a while back when Nash turned heel. The guy was talking sh*t to the people, and they were still cheering for him

Samoa Joe is the best pro wrestler in the world today but it's a shame they only give him fights on PPV.

Palumbo has always been pretty average in my book. Wouldn't surprise me to see him get hired though. London would be an awesome addition to the X-Division, but he probably wouldn't get much TV time.

Current TNA rosters is pretty much loaded now. I don't see they will add any new wrestlers until they release some. But they need to get London while they can. Paul London in X Division is pure gem.

Just like the WWE, Id rather have me and some other people run the show. Scripting in this era is terrible.

I think this is the main reason why I and many others don't really like it. There's no doubt that their wrestlers are amazing. There are so many finishers in TNA that absolutely shyt on a lot of WWE finishers, and they have some freakish athletes. But the poor acting, storylines, commentary and the fact that they're no where near as popular as the WWE is why I just can't get into it.
