Destruction Wrestling Association

During the radio show RVD does he got a call from Hulk Hogan and they discussed Hulk wanting RVD to come to TNA and how TNA is much better and more fun to be in then WWE and less stressed..

Personally I am starting to feel like TNA is becoming WCW with the way things are going now.. And the people there at the moment...

RVD going to TNA?  Awesome.

As far as the WCW comparison, I can't argue with that.  They are bringing in a lot of older guys, and combine that with the fact that alot of former WWE guys are going, which I can't blame them for.  I mean Burke, "Anderson", RVD, etc.  Great move as far as I'm concerned, because they're quality talents, and just because WWE can't find something to do with them doesn't mean they're not usable.  Though, TNA, and Hogan for that matter, I s'pose, need to start looking younger.  I mean instead of going after The Flair's and Foley's of the world, why didn't he go after TD jr?  Bryan Danielson?  The problem with TNA goes even further though, booking is a huge issue, and while they do have some good matches, they need to be thinking smarter, helping further storylines, heating them up.  Instead, it's random booking, to give you the best matches possible.

The thing that upsets me though, people are saying they are using the same storylines over and over that WWE has already used, but the truth of the matter is, what hasn't WWE done?  They've used every single thing they can think of, and the creative freedom is uncomparable to what we can do in eFedding. 

Lol, I'm just trying to start an argument, if that's what you took it as.  Unlike some, maybe even most of the people on the internet, this can be discussed by me in a rational point, and that I will agree with.  But, I'm talking more along the lines of say.. a stalker storyline, if TNA were to use that, they would point out the Undertaker/Sara/DDP angle a few years back.  TNA does need to come up with other things entirely if they want to do a 'theme' for the show occassionally.  But, as far as I'm concerned, I'd take AJ Styles as my World Champion over Sheamus or Cena any day of the week. xD

By the way, I watch neither of these programs, so I don't endorse any wrestling program.

The other thing is that TNA ratings have been going up every single week with hogan in charge. Here is the other thing - that they got flair and though he says he's he's gonna be wrestling soon, he's there in a management role, same with hogan. I'd be pissed off if hogan started stepping into the ring as a wrestler, but being in the management roll, bringing back the monster abyss, anderson (thats actually his real name, kennedy was his stage name) being a heel, timeless. AJ as heel again is classic, especially taking on the roll of being the next ric flair - thats that whole angle. Flair is essentially taking him under his wing. But AJ on top is TNAs best decision. They did try to cram a lot into the 3 hour special, but once they move to monday nights, they're gonna start to kick off ppv quality impacts.

But Matt had a point with the storylines, Im sure they'll get some original stuff done but he also said, what hasnt wwe done? And thats the truth - what tna is doing essentially is taking a general storyline, using new faces and giving a bit of a twist on it to make it fresh. WWE has been around for years. I mean AWA, WWWF, WWF and then WWE. Generations of generations of material, where as tna is only like 7 or 8 years old. It started when the best era of WWF had passed. So they're going to get some name talents, but they're names, they draw views and ratings. Flair is a legend, if I could get him to be a mentor, to be backstage and help boost morale, you bet your ass I'd do it.

But when you got AJ on top, a premier young talent with tons of talent, Pope as the number one contender, they're doing what I said TNA shoulda done ages ago. Get the names to draw the people, when you get the people showcase your home talent.

"We got these guys.... BUT, we also have THESE guys." and you start to get your better ratings, etc. And thats from the pro-tna perspective.

I havent been a fan of the WWE product lately as a whole, but there have been some things I like. And in the same respect, it's WWE. Its got history clear back when Vince Sr. was in his prime. Its always going to have the production value over TNA, it's gonna have name value over TNA. It can have an entirely new roster and people will still watch it more because its WWE. It's name speaks for itself. Im a TNA fan because of the talent its got, and I enjoy the matches. But its gonna have to step up it's story telling to fight wwe, but the monday move will be the next step in that.  As a fan ya gotta be open to new things. And RVD though he might be getting up there in age, he's always been in great shape. So he will be great for TNA if he goes. He seemed very interested, so one can only hope.

There is nothing wrong with being a WWE fan and a TNA fan. I believe those are just called WRESTLING fans. In terms of who is better? Well that's always personal preference. I prefer TNA because I find the WWE product to be stale and lackluster entirely however I do see flaws with TNA just as well.

Regarding Hogan and Bishoff being good or bad. It is good in general for TNA because of the boost, however it does water it down with veterans. Though from what I'm seeing, not all the veterans are running wild like they did in WCW. Sure they did botch up when they brought in BTLS and caused Awesome Kong to quit but at the same time they brought back Mr. Anderson. They brought in RVD, officially as of today. Slowly but surely they're doing what they want to do.

Give it three-four years. The wars will be booming.

And the fact tna has been around for what, 8 yeas now? And look where they are? When you got guys like Hogan and Flair in TNA, that is a huge morale boost for them, seeing as Hogan and Flair defined pro wretling. And while TNA may have a ton of vets, they're definitely using the younger guys more. I mean Booker got fired because he refused to put over Morgan, granted Matt Morgan sucks, but point still being. TNA is being smart now. And I love anderson as a heel. He does his job so well - I just hope with the lighter schedule he stops getting hurt so damn much.

WWE has some programs that are solid but I definitely am a fan of the newer generation thats rising up. Im definitely liking NXT.

i don't mind

rawrrr
