TNA Wrestling on Bravo (Part 3)

Half killing him with a 2 by 4 with nails through it though?

Funny story I heard, you know Jeff Jarrett was making a big noise about something big happening and putting vague photos up on twitter as clues... well apparently his daughter is in the new Taylor Swift music video. And that is what that was about.
 
Those guys are trying to hurt each other. Wrestling isn't about trying to hurt the other person, it's about tiring them out with athletic maneuvers long enough to pin the shoulders for 3 seconRAB or make them quit. You can still make a wrestling match real by having more contact between the two wrestlers, have punches connect even if they are not hitting very hard. Have the referee act like a real referee should and not act the buffoon that can't see what everyone in the arena and everyone at home can see.

A lot can be done to make wrestling more realistic and look more credible and the UFC or MMA in general cannot compete with the larger than life characters of wrestling. Like i got told constantly growing up, why watch something that is fake? But of course the person saying it is actually saying it while watching it and then they tell me that if it was real it would be amazing. There is something about wrestling that is more attractive and glamorous than just watching 2 people really trying to hurt each other.
 
I already told you in the other thread. WWE Raw is on at 2am not midnight and secondly you never provided a source showing that live Raw gets over 93k viewers every week. You can't do it.
 
PPV thing is simple. If you produce something people want to see, they'll pay for it. WWE and to a far lesser extent TNA haven't been producing a product that people feel the need to buy a PPV.
 
The same reason why alot of people in here haven't. I'll post in there in future.

No, it's called overwriting a show. You can build storylines and have wrestling matches on the same show. It's a balance. Just because Vince "I hate wrestling" russo doesn't want to see wrestling, doesn't mean that everyone else feels similar.
 
It depenRAB how much it costs to rent an arena out for the night. It probably wont be cheap. They should tape 3 episodes of Impact when they come over here.
 
I agree that the entertainment side is why a lot of people watched Attitude Era WWF, and it was unpredictable (something TNA can never truly be whilst they tape shows in advance), it was also, barring a few ridiculous storylines, well written and exciting.

But apart from a few - Undertaker, Big Boss Man to name two - WWF was crawling with young, fresh talent who were exciting and who the crowd could relate to. Would the Attitude Era have been as successful if WWF had used wrestlers 20 years past their prime in main event spots?
 
Oh yeah. If you watch the UFC tonight you'll no doubt hear the refs yell "don't hit the back of the head" frequently. It is bad.

It was no doubt an accident on Hardy's part, but still, ouch.


Edit: oh and FYI the name of pretty much the only guy in rasslin' history to take unprotected shots to the back of the head and be okay with it was Chris Benoit. Here endth the lesson.
