[Man God]

TNA has climbed the ranks because a lot of people love making fun of it.

I think it might be right ahead of NJPW in forum talk.

 

[bean breath]

TNA

Hey, you got your account approved just like everyone else and are welcome to post whatever you want; whether it be positive, which I would personally hope for, or negative. But the one thing we can both agree on is that TNA elicits a reaction within both you and me

 

[dream]

It wasn't Maven.

 

[Brinbe]

oh lord

 

[Ultratech]

Oh hey, it's Meth Har-....I mean, Willow.

 

[Big One]

time for some more loltna.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Yessssss

 

[Data West]

Which is worse, Bean pretending he likes Konnan or Bean pretending he likes TNA.

 

[Ultratech]

lol him just running around after jumping

So goddamn hilarious.

 

[somedevil]

lol

edit: Time for more overbooking lol

 

[Brinbe]

yowch hahaha

this is so TNA

 

[Raw64life]

lol no one really caught him

 

[bean breath]

That was a sick splash off the top of the cage. Nice debut.

 

[strobogo]

Bean pretending to like Konnan in TNA.

 

[Surge]

This is a train wreck

 

[Big One]

Bully Ray?!

 

[Alucard]

Jesus Christ, TNA. Way to kill the flow of a match. Willow's entrance was alright, but now Dixie. Fuck.

 

[The_Joker1721]

BULLY RAY BULLY RAY BULLY RAY!!!

 

[dream]

I'm not really sure why I was expecting it to be Maven, but I really was.

 

[Ultratech]

There's Bully!

Too bad the whole momentum they had going kinda got wrecked.

 

[Big One]

This is so fucking bad goddamn.

So we're taking the WWE John Cena approach to TNA now?

 

[Brinbe]

that poor crowd. hope they didn't pay much, if anything. That place is a fucking morgue.

 

[jred2k]

Wait, so everybody just stops fighting to watch the cage lower? I'm surprised the lights didn't come back on to show Willow in one of those nylon fold-out camping chairs with the cupholder armrests.

 

[Alucard]

The wrestlers did a shitty job of catching Hardy off the top of that cage. That could have been a really badass way to intro his new character, but it came off weakly because of the lack of impact on the opposition.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Whether you like it or not, TNA is the second most talked about promotion in this community. And it's only getting bigger.

NXT is the second-biggest promotion in this community. If you exclude gimmick posters, it's probably NJPW in third.

If you exclude gimmick posters and reactions to gimmick posters, this product would generate as many posts as any other loss-leader promotion. I'd put it right in the space between some indy promotion owned by a fake "rapper/producer" trying to lauder his drug money, and some promotion that runs at a used car dealership. At least at the latter, the audience gets a free hot dog and balloons for the kids.

 

[G-Fex]

 

[HerbertFish]

How do you win

 

[NihonTiger90]

MVP deserves better than this.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

I love how Bully Ray is just standing in the corner.

Like if you could read his mind, you'd see a thought bubble reading "Shit, I used to be in WWE..."

dream, can i get a recap friend? i stopped watching when a cowboy was fighting

 

[strobogo]

I'd like to create a TNA gimmick match:

A cage surrounds the outside of the ring. Competitors must climb it to get into the ringside area. The first one in gains access to a lever. The lever controls the roof to the cage. Should the lid be closed before both competitors are in, the person on the outside must climb to the roof via pogo stick. Once on top, they can enter a trap door that opens once ever 2 minutes. Once in the ring, the winner must climb a ladder to get back on the roof. Once on the roof, you must get back into the ring where you use the lever to lift the roof with. From there, you must use a grapnel gun to propel yourself to the rafters where you capture a flag. You must then take the flag to Mike Tenay to win. Taz can veto the win if he doesn't like you.

... I won't lie, stro. I would fucking love this if just for the convolutedness of it.

 

[bean breath]

Brainbuster on a steal chair, ouch.

One of the refs in this company is named Ryan Hebner, so I assume he is the son of Dave or Earl Hebner. That would make him a second generation professional wrestling referee, and I can't think of anything sadder than being a second generation professional wrestling referee.

Brian Hebner. He used to referee for WWE too. I believe he's Earl's son.

This is silly and convoluted enough to where I'd want to see it unfold just to see the chaos that would ensue.

 

[Killing_Joke]

That arena must be dirt cheap. If they can't even have a good gate with their PPVs how do they stay in business?

 

[bean breath]

What?

 

[Brinbe]

swerve on swerve on swerve

TNA!

 

[Alucard]

Some good spots in this match now, but can't get over the overbooking.

 

[Sblargh]

NeoGAF has the best wrestling ideas.

 

[Vylash]

Nice to see TNA's PPVs are still as atrocious as ever

 

[tm24]

Let's be honest guys, wcw gets more talk than tna.

 

[bean breath]

No.

 

[Big One]

SWERVE. Still doesn't save this mess, though.

 

[The_Joker1721]

BULLY RAY BULLY RAY BULLY RAY!

 

[JohnDoe8865]

TOO MUCH BOOKING!

 

[Ultratech]

So many swerves....I can't keep up.

 

[somedevil]

So the man who threatened to piledriver a man's wife has turn face? A swerve on top of swerve. Russo is the secret writer.
