I read that as "TNA should contact the losers of UFC" and thought, that definitely sounds like a Dixie talent recruitment policy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn411 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I always wonder what can a corporation(in the entertainment business) do with TNA. Would they make it even more WWE lite? Would they go the LU or NXT route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdangerously Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I would turn it into an intentional parody of a modern wrestling promotion, instead of the unintentional parody it is now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNA has been failing at being a poor man's WWE with a massive inferiority complex. Nothing is going to out WWE Vince, so gotta go in a whole other direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Can we make it an anthology, with the Hardyz segmentz an Arrested Development type show? You'd still need Ron Howard to narrate, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Just since it is a little tough to read Spoiler First guy: "Here's an idea, why not make it a 3 way match between Galloway, EC3 & Lashley #ImpactonPOP Response: pipe down and watch Second guy: How come 90% of the wrestlers in TNA are long haired dudes with beards? #ImpactonPOP Response: how come 90% of your tweets are stupid? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Probably not a great idea to start alienating the last 10 or so people still following the promotion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 They still watch TNA it's obvious their gluttons for punishment and mistreatment. TNA is just giving them more of what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 TNA announced their next tapings will be July 12-14 So I guess that is the new D-day for the promotion (working under the assumption that Billy Corgan isn't fronting the money for all the tapings now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, that was their big album from 1993, which predated ECW by about a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can guarantee you they wouldn't treat EN090 like that though. But that's because abuse is usually only capable of being defined by the abused. "Idiots."

BEN! Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 LU isn't a wrestling company though. It's a TV show, first and foremost. It's works for them, I guess. They can't possibly be making any money but they've at least got a plan for the future and a parent company that backs their vision for now. TNA just limps along to the next set of tapings trying to get as much footage in the can as they can afford with a clear lack of any long-term vision. I really want to deride the Twitter stuff but we're in a time where the Presidential candidates engage in the same type of behavior. I don't feel like I can hold whoever this was, probably Mathews, to a higher standard than the future POTUS. People not being afraid of getting smacked upside the head for saying something stupid is what's wrong with society anymore. The least these social media channels could do is implement a dislike button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
