No they didn't. They just gave fans another product to watch.


:comeon: and youre supposed to be an ROH fanatic talking like this.

its only a matter of time, before trips & vince start running thru the ROH roster. they already started treating ROH like their side-bi*ch that cant get right.

Not true at all. Paul wanted like 30% equity and complete booking. This is absolutely a perfect deal and TNA should have taken it.

This was the opportunity of a lifetime Paul brings too much to turn him down. His name alone woulda got the stupid WWE fanboys to atleast give it a chance when he came on and Pauls never been bad with storylines.


if I'm running a company for years, aint nobody coming in out-the-blue and taking complete booking. especially when I already have staff on deck that's been loyal.

I would've told heyman to suck a d*ck and to go try to get that same deal in Connecticut.

where were all these potential WWE fanboys when ECW was dying? they were too busy watching curtain-jerker matches on wwf metal.

I actually agree with cornette on this subjext. Wrestling was better when people thought it was "realer". By that I mean, everyone knew something was up with wrestling that it wasnt 100 percent a shoot but people still were emotionally invested in it. I mean check wcw in the 90s people were jumping into the ring to fight heels and were throwing trash.

That level of wnotional investment is gone now. Now its jut a choreographed circus de solei act and people act accordingly. The business wouod beed a complete overhaul to go back to that but maybe it couod be done. Thats why ufc is so popular right now. Imaginr if ufc had managers n wrestling style promos. Im sure there ate fixed fights in ufc n mma in general ( shamrock vs kimbo wss blatant)

Hopefully trips n shane are smart enough to make that happen when vince goes down. Hopefully...

It's entitlement because the very foundation of wrestling is someone books who wins and loses the matches, except now fans feel that if the booking isn't precisely as how they demand it, the product is at fault. And again, it's that entitlement that hurts the industry too because all they do is complain about how much wrestling sucks, and then wonder why nobody bothers to watch wrestling anymore as they continue to tell everyone wrestling sucks.

You only see that entitlement in the WWE's fanbase. People no longer watch wrestling anymore for reasons that have nothing to do with what current fans are saying. The people saying that "wrestling sucks" are making those comments among other wrestling fans who continue to watch just like they do.

ROH is doing the best it's ever done, obviously NXT isn't hurting them.

Jay Lethal, The Briscoes & The Young Bucks have already chosen ROH over NXT.

TSC goes at HHH, Taker, Sting, Jericho, Big Show, Kane, and every other old head. These didn't just appear out of thin air

childish internet humor. and yall still tune in and watch every episode.

holla at me when yall disregard the product over this chit. that's when you can make a comparison. until then its :childplease:

like I said, its only a matter of time.

briscoes & young bucks turned down NXT, not the WWE. and the way things are going, an NXT deal will be sweet enough to them pretty soon.

I don't know what lethal's offer was, but if I was him, I'd stay away from the WWE completely. out of the 3 strikes, he already has 3. technically 4 strikes out of 3. DAMM.

If I agreed with you, I'd have no problem saying so, bruh. I have nothing against you.

If you had just said a certain segment of fans are contributing to the problem, I could get with that.

But you are saying that fans are to blame, which suggests that bad management is not to blame, or deserves less blame. Big difference, and I can't agree. :manny:


had to double-back and read your previous post.

your argument was based on saying stuff that TNA should've did.

but the reality of it is, TNA already did everything that you suggested. and they did it for YEARS.

maybe you didnt know about that, because you chose not to support the product. hence, its the fans' fault.

I dont think its the fans fault at all. The company is at fault. Idk how anyone can blame the fans. Those ate the people who are still loyal. Wwe lost millions of fans due to their shytty product. They ate to blame

i don't like blaming the fans because they are a bi-product of the environment WWE has created.

but the smark neckbeard fags who hijack the shows and chant something every 5 minutes ARE ruining the show imo.

I think this wrestling stuff is just not for adults...there is too much bad acting and unfunny attempts at cheesy comedy

I will watch royal rumble and mania but I just don't get the same feeling like when I was a young teen during the late 90s early 2000s


depends on the style of the promotion.

theres stuff that I appreciated more as a kid, especially as a mark like the WWF.

then theres stuff that I appreciated more later on when I became a smark kid like WCW. and stuff that I appreciate more now as an adult like the old NWA tapes, and I doubt I would be into ROH like that if I was a mark.
