This is worse than the time I tried to ad-whore Magi in the Anime thread.I love how damn tries hard to make TNA look like a good show
u mad cuz tna only saw punk as raven's jobber gang back then
damn is jammin of wrestling thread.
Replace TNA with ToG
Replace WWE with Bleach
Rating Disaster: lol: Did THQ folded because Punk was on the cover for WWE'13 as well?
I still hope that D-Bry got another chance in the future, dude's demoted to a joke character but still got over more than most of the rosters.
You're praising TNA way too much it's not like there are new "goldberg", "steiner", and "the rock" in TNA right now. Both are not doing really well at the moment, but WWE got more of the blame because TNA is still " a relatively new company and still developing".
it looks like the fans are belt marks too.
just because he has held the title for over a year does not make him a great champion or even a successfully champion.
fact is the ratings have declined with punks title reign. there is a correlation between the two.
there can't be any new goldbergs in tna because tna doesn't have the exposure or resources to build a fan base big enough to create a goldberg or even a ryback.
2005 samoa joe was better then both of them combined but his unbeaten run didn't take tna to the next level.
I give tna credit because the entire tna rosters salaries will be less then the rock will get paid at wrestlmania and wrestlemania will make more in one night then the tna will make in a year.
on the net the smart marks always give tna a much harder time and seem to forget that tna is only 10 years old.
ECW went bankrupt in 6-7 years, ROH which was founded at the same time as tna is still considered an indy.
smart mark bias:
rock came on raw and increases viewers by 25% = OMG rockys still got it, GOAT, WWE is awesome, wrestling is back.
sting comes back in the same week and also increases viewership by 25% = is that it?, tna is dying, man they need help, TNA will get cancelled soon.
I hate the hogan storyline (any and all of them) and i think they have fucked up a promising A&8's storyline and they neglected the x-division by giving it to bob van dam.
to be honest I would prefer if tna got rid of hogan and the ex wwe wrestlers (anderson, rvd, devon) and even sting.
I watch TNA for aries, kaz and daniels, roode, heel bully, park and the x division when they are on form wrestling doesn't get much better in 2013.

for me bad influence have the potential to be just as entertaining as the rock or dx were.
Ratings are certainly not punks fault , switching from 2 hours to 3 hours the ratings would always take a hit.
Punk is very good on the mic in the ring , he appeals to an older fan base that 13 and up age group.He is a good champion , and has got good matches out of ryback.HBK had ratings decline year after in the mid 90's he was still great.
Tna fucked up aces and eights no doubt , they should of ran over everyone like nWo , and in a group way say like 5 or 6 guys beat on Hardy and Storm it doesnt make Hardy or Storm look week with the numbers game.
And then have them kill people 1 by 1 even heels , they did needed that big new guy that holy shit its him moment , and that couldnt happen.Right now they are very very meh and losing every match they take part in.
I agree with you on Bad influence , only downside is Kaz like 37 and Daniels is over 40.But very entertaining.
Those gut check guys are supposed to be highly rated. Anyone ever heard about em? Looks like your standard CAW guys for me so far. I like the guy's lariat finisher though
i think Okada has the best lariat atm ( although tbf most of the credit should go to the guys who sold that shit).
Looks like El Generico..
will become generic.
Rating are shit because the product is pure shit. The wrestlers are stale and boring. Alberto Del Rio is a prime example. A lot angles makes no damn sense. John Cena gets put into title match for no apparent reason. The diva matches are piss break moments. The crowds are shit except when they are in Smark cities or countries. The intercontinental title is a fodder belt now and many more.
Apparently you can participate in Gut Check for $250.
damn, go and join, maybe your gut check will be Robbie T :devilehh:
btw are Devon defending the TV title every week?
was just checking the current list of champions
del rio beat the big show for the wh belt on smackdown, gotta say that's far better than big show being a champ.
big show is a joke he was awesome back in the day.
WWE seems to think alberto del rio will become the first latino president of america or something.
I understand marketing to the latino community but is he the best they could up with.
