you know how there is a never-ending stream of insanity from WCW and people occasionally remember forgotten ridiculous, poo poo that happened during it's worst times (i:e bird poo poo logo)? this "boss through a table thing" will be TNA's version of that in ten years. nobody will want to believe it got this bad.

Oh poo poo - TAJIRI is debuting at the NY tapings tonight. Someone tell him not to do it! He's too good for this

I dunno, he is an aging ECW original who floundered in the WWE midcard for years. He'd fit right in with Bully Ray, Devon, Rhino and Tommy Dreamer.

Whenever anyone leaves WWE for TNA, most people just assume that they've retired from wrestling.

Heyman actually said that in his recent interview with Ariel Halwani. He listed a lot of people who went to TNA...and whose presence never mattered in the end in terms of establishing TNA's own identity.

I think the problem is WWE as a brand is a bigger draw than any individual wrestler right now, so no guy, even John Cena or Daniel Bryan, is going to magically turn a company like TNA around. TNA has to turn their brand into a draw and build guys off that, but we've been over this a gazillion times before. The sad thing is it really seemed like it might happen with the knockouts for a while, but that got nipped in the butt pretty quick.

That's something TNA could never do, or no promotion really, can do. WWE's been around for so long that fans are just willing to go along with anything WWE puts on screen just as long as there's the hope that there might be one good match or segment. TNA never understood that you first have to build that kind of loyalty before you can start coasting on any goodwill that's been built up.

File this under "Yeah, whatever", from one of my NYC based Facebook friends: "So I walked out to get some lunch today at work, and since I work next to Manhattan Center, I spy 3 trucks on 35th street with Ryder markings on them. Looking a little closer, I see a piece of paper taped to the doors: 'Property of TNA entertainment'. "So, all of TNA fits in 3 Ryder trucks. Not sure if that's sad or funny."

WWE has been incredibly successful in making their brand name synonymous with "pro wrestling" to the rest of the world (getting people to call wrestling "sports entertainment" has been less successful in that regard, though). It even survived the name change from WWF to WWE. I don't think that even WCW, at the peak of their success during the Monday Night Wars, ever managed to truly shake that association for people. TNA never even had a chance.

Slight correction: TNA had that kind of loyalty too early and from people too loyal for anyone's good. Not for nothing is 1.1 still a running joke, TNA just had a small number of hardcore fans fall into their lap and that gave them delusions of grandeur they still couldn't be arsed to follow up on.
