strobobo actually challenged me on my appreciation of TNA, and we had a good talk, as we always do, in which I showed him the ways in which, outside of Joe and Nakamura, TNA is putting on a better product than NXT. WWE is perpetually shite, so TNA is, by default, putting on a better product than Titan. And nobody watches Ring of Honor, so who cares.

Basically, we determined that a very legitimate case can be made for TNA being the best pro wrestling company in America right now.

I remember back when they had three brands (Raw, Smackdown and ECW) thinking they could do a new version of World War 3.

Get three rings, each ring full of a separate brand's competitors and the winners of each ring face off in a inter-promotional triple threat for a #1 contenders spot on the brand of their choosing.

Boy there's an entire period of WWE that's just unwatchable due to heel Cole. How the fuck did that last more than a single PPV?

Yes, Aiii, the millions of WWE fans worldwide hate Roman Reigns and John Cena, so much so that they spend Monday through Wednesday pacing a hole in the floor, counting down the hours until the Nielsen ratings are released in the hopes that they're bad.

Is that even really considered pro wrestling though? Last time I saw it, it was all men hitting women, men hitting men with nunchucks, and Lorenzo Lamas.

I guess you do have a point there. I'd say its a very different version of pro-wrestling, at least.

Heel Cole + Anonymous Raw GM was a truly awful one-two punch.

How do I know you're not a shill for TNA Dream? I still remember you forking over the cash to watch Hogan vs Sting in 2011, the appeal of witnessing two has-been broken down drug addicted con men try to relive their faded glory was too much to pass up.

On the other hand, the saga of Brother Nero and Broken Matt Hardy makes a great case for TNA right now.

How about we fire the third guy and just have Mauro and Corey Graves?

I can't believe they're still dragging the fucking Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler feud out. And for the second time in a row it can't even get on the main show of a PPV.

WAIT FUCK IT'S ACTUALLY THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW

After watching Kimbo verse Dada, only Sting verse Hardy comes close as far as trainwrecks go. Everything else is a win.

Al Snow was speaking to a very specific, contemptuous, like-minded vocal minority. Let's not pretend like they don't exist, even in this very thread, now that they've had their position challenged. If the shoe fits, wear it.

Dude's speech was barely coherent and to the extent it was it was like "You don't have experience in the BUSINESS so you don't know what you're talking about."

I mean, I don't really know how he reaches that conclusion as a completely general proposition.

I mean, TNA is pretty trashy, but I don't think anyone who watches WWE programming every week can scoff at TNA from their perch.

Yes, I admit to paying for Hulk vs Stinger on PPV. But it was worth it. Especially since the entire month prior, wrestling gaf was insisting that because TNA was running in the house of hardcore, the city of brotherly love, and the house that Sabu built, the fans would absolutely shit on Hulk vs. stinger.

Instead wrestling gaf watched in horror as they slowly realized that the entire crowd was marking out for hulk because the hardest of the hardcore are hulkamaniacs.

The only time the "ISEC" has a hivemind is when you have an opinion you want to present/prop up as being special so you pretend everyone else is against it.

Again, I have no interest in this discussion at all. I neither watch much of wrestling, nor have I watched the Al Snow video.

But what I will (continue to) argue that the hardcore fan is Wrestling's only audience. There is no casual interested for wrestling outside maybe WrestleMania, but that could hardly be considered an audience. The only people that watch this crap are the hardcores.

Using "hivemind" as a term is usually a way to deflect criticism. Badly.

Just like employing the tried and true Appeal to Accomplishment Technique.

They're about a hair away from saying "sheeple" when they resort to blabbering about hiveminds.

So you're telling me that everyone in wrestling gaf independently decided that Dean Ambrose is an entertaining professional wrestler who should be world champion?

No, that's a thing you made up in your mind so you could disagree with it, proving yourself right about a thing you made up to be right about.

Cagey, do you remember when wrestling gaf insisted that Dean Ambrose was an entertaining pro wrestler and deserved to be world champion?
