>>1461875
I'm slowly warming up to TNA, started watching for t the hardy feud but I'm beginning to like some other stuff (X-Division, Knockouts, Lashley). I might watch it for a while.

2001 was 15 years ago anon.

Isn't that basically WWE at this point?
None of the storylines are good.

I dip in and out of it. Last time I saw any of it prior to the Final Deletion was the World Title series they held at the back end of last year I think it might have been?

It was alright, though Josh Matthews is fucking terrible as a commentator. I can just about deal with the Pope.

>>1462023
>only major wrestling company that Vince absolutely refuses to ever acknowledge

TNA was mentioned on WWE programming just recently during the Austin/Styles interview. It's not mentioned more often because it's completely irrelevant. You think any of the old guys like Flair or Booker who went to TNA for one last payday want their time there brought up?

They have an A+ Knockout champion now.

I've been watching since 2002, and I call this bullshit. Give ONE EXAMPLE!

Hello Sienna, why do you never get any TV time? Are you that big a charisma vaccumn

>>1462130

why? nothing better to do?

>they're moving to Thursdays

Fucking kek.
They are the ones who need to apologize.

>>1462134
Ec3, Galloway

>>1462284
EC3-Bateman's run doesn't count.

Galloway - He got the christian cage storyline. "Muh potential star was burried by WWE so we give him the title in 2 weeks of debut, he screams WE WILL TAKE TNA TO THE TOP"

>>1461897

I watch NJPW, ROH, and PWG but not TNA.

fuck TNA.

>>1462335
They do flips in TNA as well, m8.

>>1462323
Why doesn't Bateman count? He was criminally underused. He got put through i think 2 different nxt seasons and was on smackdown occasionally. Even lost to ryback. He counts 100%.

You can come up with any excuse you want for Galloway but he was still misused in WWE and is now a star for TNA.

>>1462390
Bateman was criminally underused for sure. He could have been a good, solid midcarder in the IC/US title picture, and maybe as part of a tag team.

It's a shame him and Johnny Curtis never got a proper chance to revive their rivalry on the main roster as that could have been beneficial to both.

>>1462023
>TNA gets obliterated going head to head
>Can't afford talent
>Can't afford to go out of the impact zone
>Can't afford to be live every week

Also Bateman has such a retarded face. Glad he never lasted in WWE

>>1461875
The Final Deletion led me down this path of checking out a bunch of recent TNA stuff. And you know what, TNA is better than WWE right now.

>>1462587
That ring puts me right off though, not the shape the noise and how fucking LOUD it is

>>1462284
Go out in the streets and ask normies who EC3 and Galloway are.
TNA does not makes "stars" in the true sense of the word. Never has and never will because they just can't.

>>1462693
They made AJ but that's like the only one.

>>1462729
Even AJ you could argue was truly made in his brief stint in Japan. There, he accrued tenfold the fame and renown than TNA ever garnered him.
I mean, I wouldn't argue it, personally. But you could try. It was a dual-pronged process, to say the least.

>>1462729
Post TNA AJ isn't as important as Post-NJPW AJ

>>1462023
>criminally misused

This is such a stupid term, many don't work out in WWE because they lack a character or they generally aren't interesting. Tyrus is shit, Galloway was never interesting, EC3 didn't have a character beyond acting like a jock

"Deserve" to be is broad, everyone who wrestles does deserve to be a star but just because they aren't WWE Champ doesn't mean they aren't. Normies don't know EC3, if he went to WWE today and was a jobber/mid carder he would be a bigger star than he is right now in TNA.

Ignorant wwe marks fuck off back to what culture and woo. Faggots

No, fuck this.

>>1462023

Funny how TNA misused all of their own homegrown talent in favor for WWE drop outs.

>>1462769

>"I don't want to argue, you're mean"

Ok faggot, keep telling yourself you're right.

>>1462781
That was my first post in this thread. I got a brain aneurysm reading it.

They had commentators, Jericho and Cena constantly tell people who he is because he was a fucking nobody

>given a credible push, mic time, and creative input on your character
>turns out you're actually pretty great and were never even given the chance to show it
I'll agree with you about "deserved" perhaps being an iffy statement, but you absolutely cannot deny that TNA takes misused guys and practically overnight gets them far more over than the WWE ever could.

>>1462795
They do, but I think it's due to the fact that the fans of the underused talent would flock over to see them succeed.

>>1462786
Yeah, go back to /woo/, they'll be more than happy to take you back.

>>1461897
It's crazy that it's been 15 years. I remember it happening like it was yesterday

>>1462800
Fuck off back to woo you retarded faggot

For those of you who say TNA made "AJ styles a star". You forget when Kurt Angle came in, they sidelined the fuck out of AJ, even putting him under Angle as a "rookie" despite AJ Styles being a grand slam champion at that time. The commentary team did not acknowledge AJ's accomplishments in the company and the fact that he was the first triple crown and grand slam champion, this went on for a long time.

TNA is very clear that you need to be Ex-WWE in any way to be given attention there. They even freaking hired the late Chris Warren (the man who sang the DX song).

The did alot of sidelining when Christian came in.

For those saying that they tap misused WWE talent. Bullshit, it's the same "I failed at WWE now I'm here, we're going to take this company to the top and show the guys who released me".

The only thing that I really was surprised at was, Bully Ray's singles World title run.

>bust your ass off for a company you put on the map
>get buried in favor of WWE talent
>they continue this for YEARS until you are finally recognized as champion material
>asked to take a paycut in favor of 50+ year olds who can barely move
>leave for japan where you are allowed to display your true power
>become a megastar
>big money contract from the very company that competed with your old one
>then you are feuding for the title of said company
>now you are feuding with the company's franchise player
>gonna look like a million bucks out of this no matter what

Only sad thing about AJ is he didn't do this sooner. TNA can go to shit.
