Crap storylines? No...but theres much more to WWE's crap than that. Guess you didn't read the story of the creative team/agents meeting in WWE where everyone covered their a** and trashed talked Punk until HBK spoke up. Never heard of ANY crap that bad coming out of TNA. The cult attitude WWE breeds isn't worth ANY money to me.

The break up of the Hart Dynasty is one of the stupidest moves I've ever seen. Made absolutely no sense and WWE doesn't even understand why tag team break ups used to work sometimes. No wonder midcard guys like Smith are going.

Plus if Smith went to TNA as a tag team with Kidd...he'd probably get treated far better. But I don't think he should go there at all.

What's worse is WWE always seems to break up teams when they're finally getting a legitimate run and looking good as possible champions in the eyes of the fans. As soon as HD lost the titles in their horribly booked run, they broke up. Crime Time broke up out of nowhere after a couple of loses in trying to get the belts in matches that actually got to make them look like underdog contenders in the eyes of the fans. The same can be said about just about any team and break up in recent years, The Colons, etc.

They've been pushing Gunner hard as well. Robert Roode has been someone the company has been setting up for a big singles push as well.

Although I don't like the fact Crimsonis the guy they've chosen to push to the top and give the BFG main event, but you cannot hate on them for trying and giving someone new a chance.

The only old fart who cannot work that has been taking time up on tv has been Hogan and EB.

TNA has been no worse at pushing their talents than WWE has. WWE has just recently started to make strides with Punk and that's it.

The Punk storyline is one of the few things I care about in WWE...and its the occasional great stuff like that that keeps me watching.

The Tag team division is DEAD. I grew up on the days of LOD, The Steiners, Demolition, The Bulldogs, The Hart Foundation, The Rockers, New Age Outlaws.

Jeez I'd GLADLY take a WWE tag team division of High Energy, The New BlackJacks, The BodyDonnas, and The Smoking Guns over anything WWE is offering right now. They were 50 times better than any tag team (all two of them) in WWE today.

The Divas Division is has two good wrestlers and mostly a bunch of broads with bolt ons who'd be better suited to doing the next Vivid porn movie instead of wrestling.

And since the internet makes porn easily available...Divas = piss break.

Remember when Curt Hennig and Bret Hart or Scott Hall and Shawn Michaels used to tear the house down for the IC title? WWE doesn't. Dolph could be a great champion...but he's in a midcard that matters less than Vince scratching his nuts.

I can't even tell you who the US champion is right now.

I just saw a WWE commercial on Smackdown were four of the six guys mentioned were top rising stars... Fifteen. Years. Ago.

Except for this Punk thing...WWE ain't really no better than TNA. I watch both for the occasional good thing that comes down the pipe.

I just saw were Jersey Shore did higher ratings than Raw or Impact COMBINED. Probably Raw, Impact, AND Smackdown combined too. Lets put things in perspective here people.

woo woo woo

its Friday Night Zackdown

I'm not saying WWE is great, but If it was me, I'd rather go to Japan or ROH than waste my time in TNA.

Like you said, outside of the Punk storyline, there really is nothing about WWE that I really care about. TNA is doing much either, though as long as Sting is around I will always watch.

Again, just like you I watch both in hope that something really good comes along. Both companies have huge faults in their product. On any given week one RAW or Impact can be better than the other.

The problem is some fans just read about the product and shows of both companies instead of just watching it and judging for themselves.

If the story with Triple H becomes more of the McMahon and Son (In law) show in order to get The Nose more airtime instead of getting Punk over big time then I'm done with WWE. Although Vince and Hunter had peddled plenty of junk just like Fred and Lamont.

Triple H better start training hard, saying his prayers (to Vince of course *groan*), and taking his "vitamins" to get this gimpy legs in shape because when this is over he needs to give the match of his career to finally start securing WWE's future.

And hopefully it'll be a CLEAN win. No garbage like HHH putting his nose on the bottom rope when that three count hits.

 

[Metallo]

Sucks they never used Gail to her potential.

WWE doesn't seem to know what to do with female talent that can actually wrestle; they either keep them off TV, or turn them heel.

Case and point: anyone with a brain would probably say "Hey, let's do a Natalya/Phoenix feud, because then we could actually have an honest to god wrestling match between divas who have personalities!"

But no, better to turn them heel and put them in the ring with Kelly Kelly.

With all the tv time WWE has they could feature matches with JUST the eye candy and the actual talent (when they used to have it). This thing with Beth and Natalya declaring war on the bimbos has me interested but they have nobody great to fight with until Kong comes back...and that means its goign to be one boring assed year in the Divas division.

Does anyone really take that boring assed, walking peroxide ad/stepford wife in training Kelly Kelly as ANY kind of challenge to Beth Phoenix?

The current Diva division makes The 2000 era WCW womens division look awesome.

What's worse is WWE always seems to break up teams when they're finally getting a legitimate run and looking good as possible champions in the eyes of the fans. As soon as HD lost the titles in their horribly booked run, they broke up.

The same can be said about just about any team and break up in recent years, The Colons, etc.

The Colons tag team was the best Carlito had looked in a long time. Creative is f***ing stupid. Anybody who says stuff like breaking them up in the first place then doing nothing is better than Joe being kidnapped by ninjas needs their head examined. We're comparing a hard turd (TNA) to a soft one (WWE). The hard one is just more painful to sit through.

Why when you would get paid more, get put on national and worldwide tv, and potentially get a push, not mention have the freedom to do outside projects away from wrestling?

There is a reason certain guys like Joe, Daniels, etc. etc. have stuck with TNA instead of going the Japan and ROH route.

yea....Impact is broadcast nationwide....but like 12 people watch it

so is that REALLY a selling point? I agree....if I wanted to compete on a high level, Id do ROH or Japan

 

[Specter313]

Well, that's certainly a different look for Aksana.

 

[Metallo]

yea....Impact is broadcast nationwide....but like 12 people watch it

And more people take Jersey Shore more seriously than WWE. Your point?

I watch TNA every week. Just because I complain about TNA doesn't mean I dom't watch it.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Well, that's certainly a different look for Aksana.

From a stylistic standpoint, she's about 1000% better with that look. Unfortunately, it looks as though they ditched Gail and Melina to make room for her.

 

[Specter313]

Yeah, it does help her to stand out rather than just being Russian Blonde Barbie that she looked like when she debuted on NXT.

Speaking of, where the heck is Naomi already? She was good, could actually wrestle, and the fans liked her.

 

[Saint]

Time for Cody Rhodes to knock off Jackson and take the Intercontinental belt.

 

[Metallo]

From a stylistic standpoint, she's about 1000% better with that look. Unfortunately, it looks as though they ditched Gail and Melina to make room for her.

And yet they keep Alicia Fox.

Can't talk without screwing up, libel to kill someone with her goofy straw man dancing rendition of the scissor kick, and has a forehead Vince could land WWE's corporate jet on.

She's not there...because she was good, could actually wrestle, and the fans liked her.









...and she probably can't suck a goofball through a mile of garden hose.

I didn't say your name for a reason, because frankly I don't know if you do or not. I was speaking in generalities about the internet as a whole.

 

[BlackLantern]

yea.....yea....

does it make you sad on the inside?

 

[Metallo]

yea.....yea....

does it make you sad on the inside?

Actually it makes me laugh on the inside that WWE is less relevant or popular than a bunch of no talent stereotypes whose only job skills are f***ing, getting drunk, and generally making asses out of themselves.

Like I said...puts things into perspective.

Snookie can deep throat a whole bottle of Jack Daniels and STILL draw more than John Cena.

 

[cabel]

I turned on Smackdown, but I hit the mute button within three minutes thanks to Micheal Cole.

 

[Project862006]

metallo you know ziggler is the us champ right lol

 

[cabel]

wait, JTG is still employed?

 

[BlackLantern]

they broke out a haka......got me pumped up

 

[Metallo]

metallo you know ziggler is the us champ right lol

I had to think about it because neither midcard title gets the treatment they got in the past. Like I said he could be a great champion but where are the great storylines for the US and IC titles?

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I miss when the I.C. and Tag titles meant something.
