Why is TNA so based, bros? I know they have money problems out the ass and Dixie can be a dumb fucking bitch, but at the end of the day this company genuinely seems to love wrestling and they consistently put out innovative, refreshing content. Is all of it good? Fuck no. But bless their hearts, they're trying to do something DIFFERENT, for God's sake, and that's a hell of a lot more than you can say about WWE and their soulless, creatively-void, sterile, out-of-touch, overproduced "modern era" garbage.

I watched every TNA episode from the start till 2015. Your statements are not true.
>tfw TNA is legitimately more entertaining to watch than WWE
Not really, these days I cringe at seeing medicrity like Rockstar Spud, Bennet and Bram being promoted heavily. Their mainevent is usually Hardys. They buried everyone to put over Brodus Clay at Bound for Glory, only because he was from WWE.
>tfw TNA is better at building up stars than WWE
Last decade, they've been taking ex WWE rejects and throwing the title on them in 1 month, with the whole "WWE screwed me, I deserved better" and the TNA sheep chant "You deserve it". Drew Galloway is literally shit, Christian Cage was B+, Bully Ray played a great heel but TNA roster was small, so he could actually look like a big fish. And according to Dixie Carter "AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels don't bring in money." In WWE those guys (Joe and Styles) are selling merch like hot cakes.
>tfw TNA gives wrestlers more creative freedom than WWE
This is true, but that's also because Dixie isn't very creative and relies on people with real experience.
>tfw TNA has better gimmicks than WWE
Name one?
>tfw TNA has a better women's division than WWE and actually made women's wrestling tolerable to watch
Yes and No. When Hogan and Bischoff came in, there was bra and panties matches, women getting stripped every week.

>tfw TNA has more inventive camerawork than WWE
See >>1423177 pointing the camera at womens asses is not inventive. And those backstage hidden camera reality show thing they tried to do was awful.

>tfw TNA has a better set design than WWE
Even the NXT set is better than TNA.

>tfw TNA has more creative match types than WWE
Ambrose Asylum is a copy of TNA Full Metal Mayhem
But 2016 they have the crappiest wrestlers so it doesn't matter and their flagship X division has become a joke, with fags like Eddie Edwards holding the title.
>>
>>1423460
Continuing.

>tfw TNA is more unpredictable than WWE
The only unpredictable thing I remember is when they worked the smarks by posting rumors that Abyss was signing with WWE, and he surprised returned at a PPV.
But the leader of Aces and Eights unmasked to be DLO brown is not even worth a WTF moment consideration.

>tfw TNA has more passion for wrestling than WWE
They did, back when they had a prime X division, and Angle worked with the original talent very well. Then Nash came in and made every X division wrestler change their look to represent someone from NWO (Jay Lethal was Randy Savage, Petey was Steiner etc)

It turned absolute shit when Dixie admitted she wants everything that WWE throws out, and that she believes hiring anything WWE has touched will guarantee the company to success. That was what 2002-2008 TNA was against. She fired the most over guys i.e. Christopher Daniels and Kaz to keep Jessie Godderz

ROCKSTAR SPUD, BRAM, TYRUS, MIRACLE MIKE is what's killing the company faster. Seriously fuck ROCKSTAR SPUD. I was a dedicated TNA fan, he & Bram made me stop watching

That's about right

granted, I've only started following TNA again in january this year, still

I hate when TNApologists say that the financial troubles and backstage dirt doesn't matter. Of course it matters, look at the fucking roster and the fact that TNA still has to hold shows at Universal Studios. It's no wonder they're always losing money.

I do have to say, the Knockouts division is depressing now. The whole point was that it was better than the Divas, but now it's worse. Gail Kim, as good as she is, always needs a good heel to help carry the division.

Heels in TNA generally struggle to get above mild booing, so she's fucked. Just look at when Eli Drake cashed in his MITB, I mean, Feast or Fired briefcase. Hardly any reaction for a major heel move, there were only mild chants for Bram.

>Former WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Lisa Marie Varon (Tara, Victoria) recently appeared on Jim Ross’ Ross Report podcast and talked about her time with TNA. She said the company was so disorganized that she once found out about her being booked on a PPV via Twitter.

Varon owns a pizza restaurant called The Squared Circle in Chicago and she talked about how she once spent $6,000 of her own money to promote a TNA show in the area. TNA then apparently sent her posters for the event which didn’t even feature her and that rubbed her the wrong way. Varon says she talked with Dixie Carter about all she did to help the company and all Dixie had to say was, “Yeah, I heard.”

Varon also talked about how two people in the TNA office sent an e-mail to the roster telling them to promote another pizza shop in Chicago as the best pizza they have ever had. Obviously she wasn’t happy about this and blew up at TNA management. She told Prichard, “The day I quit my job, I am going to punch that c**t in the face.”

This threat was referring to Dixie and Varon said Prichard responded, “You’ll be doing all of us a favor.”

That can come later, it would probably be several years before Billy Corgan could buy her out and make her want to sell when she's really invested into the show (even though that's brought on a lot of trouble)

The best thing they can do for the now is to look into traveling around for TV tapings and do it live. Everyone is disinterested in the impact zone except for that fat Brother Nero mark in the front row and I think they still do two tapings in one day? The crowd isn't going to go nuts when they see the same thing all the time, for four hours in a row and when the crowd doesn't go nuts, the handful of people at home think what's happening on the show is lame and stop watching.

Making a transition to a live tapings across the states would burn some money, but it's not like TNA was ever doing much than staying nose above water so they should take the risk

I swore off TNA back in 2009-20010 but it can't possibly be any worse than WWE is currently.

There's nothing to lose. TNA is only being kept afloat by pajeets, not turning a profit. All this corner cutting shit is just delaying the inevitable death(which people have been saying ever since Hogan and Bischoff came into the company but now it seems like it actually is close to death)

He likes wrestling a lot apparently, but from what I've heard about Dixie it appears more that she's stubborn.

>>
>>1424874
>which people have been saying ever since Hogan and Bischoff

People have been saying that since they ran their very first show.
>>
>>1424874
Dixie is stubborn, but she doesn't have the money to be stubborn anymore. Creditors will take her shit and there is nothing she can do about it. The next owners will have to do a corporate takeover.

Yes Billy is a wrestling fan, but that's not a reason to buy a wrestling promotion. He is trying to buy his way into the business, but can he make it better? I don't think so. He already bought one company in Chicago and they went bankrupt after losing their tv deal.
>>
>>1424878
There was a spell it looked like they could be the next big thing, inbetween Double J doing his worst Ric Flair impression and the company bringing in used up WWE guys. Samoa Joe and many other of the best outlaws in the world spent their best years there only to be used like crap

>>1424885
Billy Corgan would not listen to the people that Dixie listened to, even if Hogan and Pritchard and all the old guys except the Hardys are gone. TNA is also a bigger name than that Chicago(?) independent he bought out and will always have some sort of TV deal
>>
>>1424917
Billy is desperate for attention. He is spending millions just so he can go out there and awkwardly talk on the mic. I think Hogan would be a better owner of TNA.
>>
>>1424924
Hogan helped fucked everything up the years he was in creative and although his pockets are very deep, he doesn't seem to be the type to invest in TNA as a brand brother. He doesn't need any more money and TNA's not going to make any for him
>>
>>1424939
He doesn't need the money for sure, but he has an ego. What better way to put himself over than build up TNA? I'm not saying he is any good, but he has the money and the reason to do it. I'm sure he is looking at WWE's pockets and wanting to compete with them.
>>
>>1424947
I don't think Hogan is stupid. He's done plenty of politicking and company ruining by putting himself over, but there was always someone else cutting him a check and he was never in danger of losing money, TNA is too risky and he has more money now than he ever made wrestling
>>
>>1424966
He can buy it for cheap and still have over $140 million. Plenty of guys will work for pennies just to work for him. It would be like an NXT/OVW type of deal where he builds up stars to sell them to Vince. Signing checks doesn't hurt if you are making bank.

>A lot of people in the WWE phone it in half of the time.

WWE doesn't have major competition and can have the same set for all 11 PPVS. Can let the wrestlers phone it in on Raw and SD. And they can get away with it. WWE doesn't even licence music anymore.

TNA talent are expending unnecessarily for nothing then. They had something going when Joe, Styles, Daniels, Rhoode, Kaz etc were around. But for some reason Dixie insisted that Magnus, Bram, Spud, Tyrus and any WWE reject is worth investing in.

Weirdly Rockstar Spud was considered as the biggest asset to Dixie. Rockstar Spud was literally the shittiest thing to happen to TNA.

They bring in Alysin Kay and use her as an enforcer with a generic TNA starts with "S" knockout name. Alysin had a better gimmick in the indies.

>Rockstar Spud was literally the shittiest thing to happen to TNA

I will take Spud in a silly suit doing anything over many of the horrible things TNA has ever done. The X Division, the Knockouts and Rockstar Spud /EC3 shenanigans were the only saving grace for TNA for a long time there.

For a while there they were touring all over the place. It was great. After Aces and Eights ended and Dixie took over and a ton of talent was gone, things went to shit.

Most times TNA is better than WWE for the reasons OP listed. When it's bad, it's really bad, but WWE is consistently almost always worse. It was never the same after they lost the F. WWE tries way too hard to be a dramatic soap opera that takes itself too seriously. Just about every other wrestling promotion knows how to have fun still.
