3. Selling out the art? They let Pac-Man be a tag champ w/o wrestling. They paid him more money than they pay some of their so-called stars. And they gave more attention to him than they did their own stars. They'll push anybody ahead of their home-grown talent. And you want to talk about selling out. You can say what you want about L.T. and Bam-Bam, but it worked. Pac-Man was just one big mistake.[/FONT]
And again I point out the mindless mases that are willing to lap up anything Vince McMahon produces like dogs drinking from a toilet bowl. It wouldn't matter anyway becuase stuck up, close minded, head-up-their-ass wwe fans will never give TNA a chance. Even a year ago when TNA was better then it is now they wouldn't and the reasons I've been given were as follows:
1) The 6 sided ring... yeah thats a solid excuse not to watch.
2)There is to much action going on and I can't keep up (cause WWE has slower matchs for the slower minded)
3) It doesn't have the story lines, and I don't really care about the in ring work rate (then go watch Y&R Ape Shit)
4) It doesn't have big enough Stars (SNOB!)
5) WWE has better raiting. (This of course is as dumb as of an excuse as I have heard. You don't watch because it doesn't get good raiting, but how is it suposed to get good raitings if you don't watch).
Then of course there is this habbit of WWE fans jumping off the banwagin when a star goes to TNA. Team 3D left WWE because the new head of talent realations was being a prick and people say "well they sucked". Christian left when his contract was up and people say "well he was neve any good anyway.". Then Kurt Angle got released and went to TNA and people screamed about was a hack he was... really, because I could have swore he was one of there top stars... I guess Vince doesn't know what he's doing.
In comparison to WWE, TNA is a smaller company. The don't have the money, or the name value that WWE has. Yet WWE has put out several, and I mean several bad PPVs in a row. I heard Foley wrote in one of his books that WWE deliberitly does bad PPV to make the Big 4 look better. Yep thats a nice way to reward your loyal customers for dropping there 39.95 every month. TNA has fucked up alot over the last 8 months to a year. I am not happy with the fact that Genissis had 4 none TNA originals in the main even, in fact I hated it. I am happy about Kaz winning the fight for the right tournament, and I hope (as unlikley as it is) that he will get to hold the god for a short time. Like I said, unlikely but I would like to see it. TNA was doing a great job until they felt the need to try and imulate the lowly WWE and that bitch Vince McMahon. What they should be doing is trying to go the opposit way from McMahon and giving the people a full blown ulternitive to the WWE's bull shit. I hate to say it, but if TNA doesn't start putting it's originals in the main even on a regular basses I will stop watching and buying there DVDs all together.
