Brian Fowler Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 They brought back the six sided ring quite awhile ago. Held a fan poll or something. I was always in favor of it just because it did something to differentiate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Miller Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 At this point I just want the company to die and go away forever. And it's not just one thing, but pretty much everything they've done over the last 14 years: dwarfs jerking off in trash cans, giant penis tag teams, Jeff Jarrett holding the world title hostage, Scott Hall: Drunken Elvis Impersonator, wasting Chris Daniels and Low Ki in their prime years in a fucking tag team instead of pushing them as top singles stars, wasting the prime years of Samoa Joe and Doug Williams as mid carders, Abyss and his fucking repetitive thumbtack bumps, The Main Event Mafia, putting Homicide in a racist stereotype tag team with Zach Arnold's boy toy Hotstuff Hernandez, Black Machismo, reverse battle royals for World titles, dragging out Aces & Eights for seventeen months even as ratings continued to plummet, giving Dixie Carter a platform to appear on TV and the Internet, constantly reviving The Beautiful People instead of creating new heel "knockout" stables, Dixie grabbing onto Hulk Hogan's leg while he tried to walk away from the company, providing employment to the Voodoo Kin Mafia/New Age Outlaws instead of letting them fade into obscurity, treating the signing of every midcard curtain jerker the WWE fired and having them do a "shoot" interview as if it were some sort of industy changing moment, the skit where Dixie visited "Vince" and his "son in law" to get security camera footage, providing Vince Russo with a source of income for over a decade. Just go away, go away and join XPW and GLOW in the purgatory of joke wrestling promotions that should have never existed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Well... as someone who probably has seen 2 episodes total of TNA (because I never even knew what channels they were on)... wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, WWE should take him back and then he can live out the rest of his career in mid card 50/50 hell. Dixie Carter/EC3 in WWE, equivalent of Eric Bischoff/Eugene in WWE!

sabremike Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Only thing I disagree with on Jerome's list of TNA stupidity is the thing about LAX. They were super over and probably the best act in the entire company (they won WON best gimmick that year). The TNA stupidity was in how the company wasted such a hot act. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as it went back to 4 sides, they turned right back into nothing special or different territory and it just killed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 How dare you put GLOW in the same category as XPW. Anyway I would not be surprised if one of the titles is vacated in some way to set up another version of the World Title Series. I figure even if the company is dead they still have to do something with the TV show. I figure they have another 4 weeks of tapings they could muster with those. Sure we will probably get Bobby Roode, James Storms, and Eric Young matches but never stopped this company before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Oh I fully expect them to WAY over tape so they have new programming through the rest of the year and not have to do another taping for awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Is there anything legally preventing them from burning off Roode and Young's taped matches but presenting it like they've come back from NXT on commentary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Well given that they had Austin Aries and James Storm matches in the last World Title Series while they were actually working in NXT, I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Vince suing the shit out of them. Remember what happened when WCW tried hinting that Hall and Nash were invading from the WWF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Yeah, there's nothing wrong with them using the existing footage they have (they've done it before) but presenting it as having anything to do with them being involved in NXT will have WWE's lawyers on them in two seconds flat.

J.H. Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I swear that TNA is the Arch Enemy Supervillain of pro-wrestling. Everytime it seems it dies in a helicopter explosion or falls off a cliff, my brain says "But there was no body" and then they come 6 months later hellbent on revenge James 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I hope TNA lives on forever. If it died, all you bitter people would have to complain about is WWE.
