There is a hilarious jealousy in regards to New Japan success from TNAMecca. They know practically nothing about it except maybe the mere basics but they're very upset that people like it so much. HulkaMatt fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Jan 19, 2015 |

Well they also live in this bubble where they think everyone hates TNA because it's TNA and not because the shows suck. "TNA is good, people just can't see past the three letters!" - What Dixie probably actually thinks

I think it's the "career killer" comment they're getting all pissypants about. But lol if anyone legit believes talking about common public perception amounts to libel or any form of defamation, or that Dixie would waste money and time over a vaguely mean comment a bloo bloo.

Jeff Hardy. JEFF HARDY. I'm sorry I know the whole thing is dumb but that's just... Jeff was one of the hottest commodities in wrestling while in the WWE and nobody even know he exists anymore now that he's in TNA.

Also, Christian had a better career in TNA than in WWE? I'm guessing this is based on some in-kayfabe "if you have the title, regardless of promotion, you're at the top of the industry" logic.

Christian was a career midcarder at best in WWE before going to TNA, where he was immediately treated like a bigger star than WWE ever had. Christian was definitely on the long path to nowhere in WWE at the time of leaving, and if anything his career was heading downward quickly. I'd say he's a legitimate case of "This guy was way better off in TNA than had he stuck around in WWE".

He was better off for having gone there because he came back at a time when WWE had zero roster depth and thus he was more valuable. His last year and a half in TNA was spent worse off than he was at the end of his WWE run and TNA pretty much blew his initial face run by immediately making the focus of the company be about Sting and Jarrett, not Christian.

I think it was moreso Christian walking out on Vince that made him take notice of him when he returned, rather than anything he did in TNA. Christian actually refused to re-sign with WWE and walked out, rather than being released and crawling to TNA begging for money. But who knows, maybe HHH was swooning over Christian being a NWA champion that also helped his case.

I'm really surprised that TNA fans are not more realistic, there's a lot to be positive about with TNA not least that they do have regular TV exposure which most feds don't have. So they're not having huge ratings yet there is always the possibility that they could thought if I was an avid TNA fan I'd probably wish Dixie was not an on TV personality.

The TNAMecca crowd and similar types have been convinced for years that TNA is a legit competitor to WWE, even though it's nowhere close and never has been. They automatically assumed "national TV" meant "just like RAW/Smackdown". Ultragonk posted:So they're not having huge ratings yet They never will. They were consistently bad-to-awful on Spike and are going to be even worse on DA since they're in far fewer homes. Remember that this is a fed that got bumped in favor of softcore porn once.

They may never get RAW type ratings but they could still get ratings to keep them financially viable surely. You'd think that the TNA fans would be pretty happy about that they just seem to have a weird, sad desperation about them that kinda makes me sad when I read it.

He fell off the top of a cage door and landed on some steel steps and knocked himself the gently caress out. It made the news for how idiotic the spot was. He performed this bump in front of maybe 300 people, for a television audience of under 300k. edit: Ultragonk posted:That's a bit embarrassing, hardcore I could understand but softcore?

"Yet another crowd crying because they didn't get what they wanted. What a shock." When someone called him out on this he responded "No, I'm saying that that crowd is just like the rear end in a top hat that booed Rey Mysterio last year. Getting what you want RIGHT NOW is not the loving point, and you, and the rest of those assholes know it. It's about the loving journey, and to throw Daniel Bryan right back into the title match, after most of a year off is not a journey, it's blatant pandering to the crowd, and it shouldn't be done. I'm glad it didn't. Would I have liked to see DB last longer? Yes. I'd have loved to see him eliminate Bray Wyatt too, but that's not the story we've been given, so you know what? Y'all, and the rest of the crowd can just deal with it."

Just for the record since nobody here seems to understand much about Destination America, no matter how many commercials they run TNA will always run behind Buying Alaska/Hawaii/the Bayou(shows about real estate that carry the channel) and BBQ Pitmasters(the greatest television show on the planet about the greatest subject on the planet go gently caress yourself)

achillesforever6 posted:"Yet another crowd crying because they didn't get what they wanted. What a shock." Did this guy, like, forget that Reigns also just came back from a long off period? I mean, I guess you can also cite to something like Triple H in 02 winning the rumble off his big return. And since he seems to also hate the fans that boo'd Misterio for being babies about not getting what they want, I assume he also approved of it when Batista won off his big return? But even leaving that aside, unless you really want to count winning a slammy and giving injury updates, Roman's "journey," to the Rumble was exactly two weeks and one day longer than Bryan's. And Bryan also returned and updated and whatnot several times during his injury, so Roman doesn't even have an advantage there. What is that guy smoking?

Sanguinia posted:Did this guy, like, forget that Reigns also just came back from a long off period? You can cite Triple H, Edge, or Cena, but all of those guys were well established for years before their wins. Roman was a tag champion once. If the WHC was still around? Sure. Give him a run with that and see how it goes.

You know, for a horrific split second I thought that sounded interesting, probably because of my natural reflex to think that anything that might give Roman ANY personality must be a good thing. Then I realized that it's literally the loving "Vikki exposes the John Cena/AJ fraternization scandal" angle and I actually felt my gag reflex kick in.

actually the basic concept of it's extremely interesting in a vacuum. "Popular" Babyface cheats in an extremely cheap way athletes actually do in the real world, revealing a core of hypocrisy, ruthlessness, and slight egomania. Good springboard to an angle with an amazingly low level of suspension of disbelief required. But this is WWE and half the athletes are doing illegal drugs to buff themselves up so that doesn't work.
