Viacom wants to buy TNA

[Art Barr]

tna needs to make small cosmetic changes to remove the railings and line the ring with bumpable cushions like the wwf.
as a matter of fact,...tna should line the walkways around the ring, with bumpable cushioning.
to eliminate the injurys, and bring more exciting endings or out the ring situations.
just the fact jeff hardy's main mainstream offense of running the railing outside the ring in a springboard clothesline is missing.
is one reason, for the change.

as hardy is neutered and the xdivision is a huge part of their nostalgia and draw.

I have no idea why they got rid of the six-sided ring, that was what set them apart from the others and sparked interest for me. Now they just look like a cheap WWE.

Back in the day, aroun 2005-2006 I used to be well in to TNA. Yeah you could tell it was a cheap product but they made the most of what they had! I miss the impact zone to be honest, it was a perfect setting for a weekly show. I loved the two seperate entrances with the heels coming out one and the faces coming out the other. They shoulda stuck in the impact zone and just gone on the road for PPVs (I'll admit it was horrible trying to get in to a PPV when it was in the impact zone).

It just baffles me how they can make such bad decisions. I was around 14 when I first started watching TNA in like 2004 and the things I loved was the six-sided ring and I loved AJ Styles, Abyss and Monty Brown. Then they just started to use all these washed up old dudes when they should of just stuck with these guys. I remember even my friends at school, who had no interest in wrestling knew about TNA and knew AJ Styles. They missed the ball big time with AJ, he could of been their Cena.

How is it ROH can draw decent crowds with a shytty syndication deal and TNA with a show on cable every week can't at least draw 3,000-5,000 people consistently.

Great technical wrestling >>>> Second rate sports entertainment.

Yea, I think TNA should've tried to be the mini-WCW from the late 80s-early 90s, where wrestling was more presented as a sport. I think people seem to forgot a lot of WCW fans stopped watching wrestling completely after it folded because WCW in it's core was always a different stylistically than WWF/WWE. TNA should've tried to cater those fans the most, that way they would've off those old school southern wrasslin' fans easily.

ROH doesn't draw higher attendance than TNA house shows for their top shows unless it's in new york


And I wouldn't call spotfest ROH "great technical wrestling"

 

[Momentum]

vince would buy tna, for the video library alone.

stop it,..breh!

vince owns damn near any and all domestic wrasslin footage.

A complete TNA Sting library can be flipped into 3-4 DVDs along with his WCW footage.

i'd love to see them buy it, and throw it on one of the major networks. i miss being able to watch wrestling.besides, any competition is good for business.

If tna was on regular tv,...
I feel that would help them make a larger profit.
As real talk,...
Daniel Bryan is over like he is because he was featured on the regular station tv show.
The little kids gateway into wrasslin is Saturday morning.
Tna has a bunch of grapplers who could be free tv friendly villains from bad influence, Aries, roode to even Robbie e.
Flanked by free tv bf's from angle, sting, sabin, styles to hernandez.
On top of putting on better freetv encounters woth more style than a wwe main event freetv match in principle.
Including a more compelling ladies division, as well.

They would have to offer tickets for free to grow their audience as much as possible so the product looks legit on major network TV

The reputation of great technical wrestling keeps ROH in existence. What's TNA's reputation?

I hear u but TNA has never had a reputation of being bad in the ring

You know NOTHING about business or money or how wrestling works.

Most wrestlers on the TNA roster make nothing, and I bet you that crowd paid for everyone they had that night + more. That's a decent sized arena.

 

[Just like bruddas]

Monday Night War 2.0

I would watch tna over wwe too
