Do you think TNA needs to stop?

Question

Signing former WWF/E, WCW and ECW stars if it wants to get big.

Answer 1

But excellent wrestlers are very hard to find; nonetheless, you're right. If they want to be big, they need ot start looking for "not-seen" wrestlers.

Answer 2

I partially agree with you. They should stop signing so many talents that were fired from/left other companies because they've got a big enough roster as it is and only 1 hour to showcase all the talent they've got. The problem is that TNA doesn't have near as much wherewithal as WWE does, thus they cannot compete directly. Secondly, they don't use talent correctly. They shouldn't be pushing their heavyweights because who really cares about Jeff Jarrett, Monty Brown, or Christian Cage? Honestly, they're all pretty boring and lackluster to watch. That is totally my opinion, though, so if I offend somebody, I apologize. TNA needs to start selling the young guys because that is where the money-making and fan gains will come. The reason TNA is so special is because of talents like AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Matt Bentley, Sonjay Dutt, Chris Sabin, etc. The X Division is the selling point, and they need to realize that.
Third of all, they aren't as big because they lack the character development that WWE has. Even though WWE does have some pretty crazy gimmicks and personas, most of the selling stars are adequate to great on the microphone. The fans NEED to hear the wrestlers' voices in order to really understand what type of person they are. The connection between fan and wrestler becomes deeper this way, which results in louder cheers or booing. That is paramount to making professional wrestling good because a live crowd that's into the match can make even a mediocre bout extremely entertaining. Yet, you could have the best match in the world, and if the crowd in the background is dead, you're pretty much dead, too.
These are just some of the reasons why TNA isn't getting "big," as you say. However, they are gaining fans steadily, but it'll be a while before they reach the level of WWE's popularity.

Answer 3

WWE needs competition if wrestling is going to make it big again. Wrestling was never as big as when WCW went toe-to-toe with Vince. Back in the 80's, there were all kinds of different wrestling organizations on TV (NWA, AWA, WWF). Fans didn't have to watch the same guys wrestling every week. If they got bored with one show, they could watch another one for a while. In the 90's, I think the competition between WWF and WCW was outstanding! I own a copy of "The Monday Night War" and after watching it, I don't think Vince is entirely honest about not worrying about WCW or the ratings. He contradicts himself alot in the film. And that is coming from a lifelong WWF fan. Nowadays, people are tired of seeing John Cena vs. Edge every single week. And what are the options? ECW isn't the same because it is owned by WWE. And it's not all that different. They too show the same people all the time. And its only on for an hour. I wish TNA luck. I'm not sure about that six-sided ring though.

Answer 4

I like TNA. It brings competition. Not to mention I remember a few years ago before Vince bought all the competition they use to get stars from each other. Most of the wrestlers have fought for several different companies. TNA is not the first to do this.

Answer 5

WWE signed former companies stars. TNA should stop now with the singing WWE rejects. Build your co. around Samoa Joe, who is 90% better than almost the WWE roster. Goldberg could be the final piece for TNA. Hvae Goldberg put over Samoa Joe to make Joe look like how Lesnar was pushed right off the bat with wwe.

Answer 6

ya they should be stop cause some wwe superstar that they release suck and if tna signed them then the show would suck to and tna is not as exiting as wwe because the divas doesn't even wrestle only males that wrestle on tna and wwe all of them wrestle divas malesbut tna only male who that wrestle and that is not exiting but ya they should start signing superstar that was never seen before in wwe wcw and ecw

Answer 7

Nah...bringing in the talent isn't the problem, but they're not using them right. Instead of putting Jarret against Sting, why aren't they pushing their younger guys? The only one I really see doing that is Kevin Nash with the x-division. If they'd use their name talent to get the younger guys some recognition, it would be alot more entertaining.

Answer 8

Yes, because TNA is so boring the wrestlers are not famous before they stop they must face the WWE wrestlers in a pay-per-view called-INVASION 2

Answer 9

I think TNA needs to become part of WWE the 4th brand, that would be awesome, TNA VS WWE war.. That would be great.

Answer 10

i don't mind that they are signing them but every last 1 of them has won the championship that is the most transional champion ship show ever made it's like OK we will sign u make u champion 4 a month but then your going to lose it back to Jeff Jarett at the next PPV

Answer 11

I think that TNA brings a bit of competition, something that should wake up a bit Vince McMahon!
