TNA Wrestling on Bravo (Part 3)

Just imagine what the could have done if they had people in the company that knew what they were doing.

TNA have had countless opportunities to be a genuine alternative to WWE. Instead they have done a WWE lite product for large parts of it.

TNA needed to create it's own identity with new stars that they created. Yet they have brought in guys associated with WWE and put those guys over rather than using these guys to establish the TNA talent.

Until TNA make changes in the key positions, they will continue to spin their wheels and get nowhere.

I think they're just reporting what Nash said. He does tend to get drunk and talk cr*p and thats what he's done here. It is unusual for him to bury the company and it's talent this publicly so they're maybe something in this. Someone suggested maybe WWE could bring him in as the mystery GM. :D

As for the MEM and RVD/Jeff Hardy and who draws higher ratings is largely a mute point considering it was tenth or two tenths of a rating point. We're not talking 2.0's to 1.1s.
 
Knockouts is old TNA. Old TNA is away now. Time for a new TNA. Roxxi reminRAB me of Tara. Nice woman, good looking woman, could easily be your mother but nothing much else going. Not that good in the ring and is never gonna entice people to watch. Roxxi doesn't really have a personality. So people watch her a bit like they watch someone like Shelton Benjamin. Nice wrestling moves but nothing much else to look at.
 
It's far from an obsession, it's just the TV channel that I think iMPACT will end up on because it's a Living TV channel which is who TNA have a contract with.

And whilst Challenge is a gameshow channel I don't think it would look out of place any more than WWE programming looks out of place on SyFY.

But my guess is as good or bad as the next person's.
 
This is TNA we're talking about - the way they operate nothing would surprise me!

I like Kevin Nash as a "talker",one of the most underrated ever IMO; I just hate his in-ring stuff.His backstage antics and infamous run as head booker of WCW gave me a natural dislike of him too.

The "They" storyline has been very intriguing but it could have been so much better.
 
maybe...just think this nwo 2010 era is iffy at best, WWE have done something simliar with Nexus, the diffence between the 2 is one's full of youth and the other is full of guys who should have called it quits years ago.

I really want TNA to grow and be up there with WWE but some of the booking is questionable.

and i do stand corrected on the uk ratings TNA has grown over the past 4 weeks including last week which drew on the overall ratings with wwe (1st time ever):D
 
As far as I'm aware, Nash isn't going anywhere. He tweeted last week about having a conversation with Terry Taylor, and it's all steady again...
 
Having people like Dixie Carter in control behind the scenes will be costly to TNA in the long run. If you watch WWE they never give away title matches on RAW the best way to still get interest is to put both competitors in a tag match. When you put title matches on free-tv it does put down the value of the title. Title matches should always be the main headline for PPV's.
 
If iMPACT goes behind a non-Sky paywall then TNA can kiss goodbye to their exposure in the UK.

If iMPACT goes to Extreme, then everyone might as well download it each week, or even YouTube it, 'cos it's more than likely going to be of better quality than the dirty lego vision of Extreme Sports.
