What are these quotes from ??? Legit???

Either way, for McMahon to ever criticize "pro-wrasslin" and a more mature product would be hypocritical. WWF was almost out of business in the mid/late 90s when it was a family friendy product and the Attitude era is what kept them afloat and gave them a big boom. All they did was flip the switch and make it kid friendly again. vince has a short term memory.

0:16 he repeats and stresses a line that doesnt need such exclamation... that is not compatible with the expectations of the expectations of the modern WWE fan
0:27 Its different markets. When they moved to Monday nights they threw the kitchen sink at us and
0:29 only did a fraction of our audience. It doesnt speak well... blah blah blah

Something got cut off in his power point presentation.
And Ive never heard of Acorn Online or Super Wrestling World.

and 9 months ago Im not sure it was anything huge. TNAs attempt at a Monday Night War only gave them a black eye and has crippled them a bit. Panda Energy & Spike TV spent all this money that just didnt do anything. Hogan didnt raise any ratings. infact ratings dipped because for some reason all the tna fans on thursday still got to tune in on Thursday nights. The last time I watched TNA was the 1st episode on Monday. But that was 8-9 for me. Hulk came in to the ring at 9:05 to jaw jack, and I found Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels making amends more interesting at 9:07 on Raw.

That night TNA did its first Monday night and Bret came back was probably the most excited I ever been about wrestling in over 10 years....seeing who was gonna pop up on Impact was exciting...i watched that live and then Raw later....only thing worth watching on Raw that night was the Hitman segments...

I'll give WWE a lil credit though, they are trying new things and pushing new guys to the main event. Even though it's still PG, people complained of the same guys being in the main event picture and now they're doing something about it.

Well if you don't mind there being absolutely NO continuity in the stories, and when there is they're fucking stupid... TNA is the better product. If you don't mind watching the same bullshit over and over week after week, WWE is for you.

EXACTLY, TNA HAS SOME GOOD SHIT BUT THE BOOKING IS HORRIBLE, PLUS SEEING JEFF JERRETT ON TV 5 TIMES A NIGHT DON'T HELP EITHER, BUT THEY GOT A GOOD FUED GOIN WITH DOUG WILLIAMS AND AJ STYLES PLUS THE WHOLE CONCUSSION ANGLE IS KINDA INTERESTING BEING THAT ITS A MODERN AND RELAVENT STORY BECAUSE OF ALL THE CONCUSSIONS IN THE NFL, ITS JUST THE BOOKING FUCKIN SUCKS

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS TNA ISN'T DOING ANYTHING THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE BEFORE IN YEARS PAST THAT WAS THE POINT THAT VINCE WAS TRYNA MAKE.. TNA IS NOT MAKING ANY REAL PROFIT AT THIS TIME THEY NEED TO RETHINK THE ENTIRE COMPANY... IF NOT BE PREPARED FOR A RISE AND FALL OF TNA WRESTLING DVD

No company in wrestling is really doing anything that hasn't been done before....TNA isn't the only company doing bad when it comes to profits, WWE's continues to sink every year. It's just not a boom period for wrestling right now, MMA is where it's at, the big craze right now.

I like TNa only for the fact its a little more edgy that WWE and they let the guy pull more risky moves but the storylines suck. WTF was up with that weigh in on the last impact? I guess it was better than that ridiculous ghost of miz past present and future bit they did on raw lol. That was the stupidest shit i ever seen. I get bored with he TNA geezerfest pretty quick though, is EVERYONE in a faction in TNA?

no one likes TNA.....



Several New Japan Pro Wrestling wrestlers are said to be frustrated with TNA wrestlers appearing at the upcoming Total Nonstop Action Wrestling/New Japan Pro Wrestling event to be held at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan on January 4th, 2011.

Speaking to a source associated with New Japan Pro Wrestling, I was informed that a reason for frustration is due to various New Japan Pro Wrestling wrestlers missing out on what is considered a big payday, especially performing in front of the huge Tokyo Dome crowd.

The Tokyo Dome paydays are always considered to be the best paid shows in Japan every year and the feeling amongst some of those is that with certain TNA Wrestling superstars appearing at the event, it short-pockets some of the roster of talent that NJPW possesses and takes spots away from those who would have otherwise appeared at the event.

Various Japanese wrestlers feel that Total Nonstop Action Wrestling is a second rate and badly maintained professional wrestling company, compared to World Wrestling Entertainment, a company where various Japanese superstars would love to wrestle and that a lot of the worldwide talent who work in Japan, don’t want to work for TNA Wrestling, for that very reason.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling superstars appearing at the event include TNA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy, Rob Van Dam and Beer Money Inc. (Robert Roode & James Storm).



I hope this leads the RVD and Hardy getting punched and kicked in the face

its hard not to come up with an entirely new concept in wrestling after it being around for as long as it has. The Nexus rookie takeover angle was the closest to a new concept thats come around in a minute. TNA kinda did the opposite with all the old school ECW guys. TNAs behind the scenes show whatever its called (reaction?) was kind of a good idea IMO. If TNAs story-lines weren't so tired this show could be a hit. WWE could rip off the concept and more people.

eh.... sorta. they get paid better than TNA and indy guys but not by much. I remember like two years ago someone took a pic of KENTA at a wrestlemania show sitting all the way up in the nosebleed section.

Kurt Angle is the only TNA wrestler that Japanese fans still care about...probably because hes one of the few TNA people who WRESTLE.

SABU SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF MAKING 6,000 A WEEK IN JAPAN VS MAKING 1,000 A WEEK IN EARLY ECW.. BUT I COULD BE WRONG
