BellaOnline Forums Sports Wrestling TNA - Turning into WCW. Is that a GOOD thing?

I watched TNA with Raven chasing Zbyszko out of the ring and everytime I see Raven esp. back in ECW i have to laugh because he is the opposite extreme of his Johnny Polo days of the WWF.

Saw Luger come out too. He looked a little embarrassed. Looked like he was nervous and thought he was going to be booed out of the building because of the Liz fiasco.

I hope Jarrett doesn't mention anything about that in the upcoming weeks during any interview segments or promos.

He did look a bit ragged and weathered though. Definitely not the same old Lex.

Buff on the other hand looked the same and still looks like the stuff. Question is though does he still have the stuff?
I guess we will have to wait and see.

There are many things TNA ARE doing well though aren't there?

X Division
Stable, Good Tag Teams
New Talent
Regular Old Faces (It is still nice to see them, just not nice if they take over).

Any chance Vadar could make a ring come back? Or is Leon too old now?

I like seeing the old stars. I am tired of the same old Scott Steiner. TNA needs to concentrate on the in ring product. The wrestling must stay top notch. They still need to develop new younger talent. They need to keep their eyes pointing towards the future.

Vader appeared in WWE not long ago and he looked old and out of shape. He sure shouldn't have been in the ring. And did I say I am tired of Jeff Jarrett as well?

Leon Whites knees are so bad that he can barely walk nowadays. I would be VERY suprised to see him wrestle today. And, if he did, he would be a literal shadow of the Big Van Vader of the mid to late eighties when he was on top of the world. Now he is at the bottom of that mountain looking up, but he can't reclimb it, he is to worn out.

I have a hard time with Jarrett because he was always a second string player, at best. To see him as the "King of the Mountain" nowadays just doesn't come across IMHO. Then to have Sting going up against him, isn't bring Jarrett up a notch as much as lowering Borden's character. Funny how Jarrett's King of the Mountain is still Second rate to HHH's King of Kings.

BTW have you noticed since Big Poppa Pump's showed up that The Alpha Male is no longer Jarrett's number one big man. Where did Monty go?

Monty hurt his knee, I think?

I agree, Seven. I think the whole 'King of the Mountain' thing would have been better if it had have been a comedy thing - that's how most people take it. Have people just taking the [censored] out of him at every opportunity.

But sadly, he runs the place, so I guess he is king of the TNA mountain and he won't let people forget it!

Well him and his father only own 20% and aren't in charge anymore but they have influence, of course, and until they no longer do or until Dixie Carter and family get sick of him, he will be KOTM. But no one buys that he is the top guy.

Well, Patty, apparently Jeff Buys that he is the top guy. And I guess that's all that matters to him.

But Patty, if the other 80% is owned by a business like Panda Energy who have no idea about wrestling (I could be wrong, I dunno) then I guess they would defer most non-financial decisions to him? What they need is to bring someone into management who has been around the business as long as Jarrett, knows just as much, if not more, and isn't fussed about getting TV time like he or Dusty were/are. Not many people like that out there, I reckon.
