Be real. Why aren't you watching Impact?
>>20452209>Booking often makes no sense>They have the token hardcore match every week and it's just the same spots>They bring in/back gimmicks that run their course>Main event scene is non existent>Knockouts division is the weakest it's been since 2008
>KWABTNA in 2026why WOULD you?
He bumped the ratings threads for weeks and weeks but didnt even watch the show
>>20452209Too busy watching all the great wrestling going on in AEW right now.
>>20452209For me, it's the shear lack of identity and belief in their own promotion. How many times have TNA done the whole "we're teaming with [other promotion]" thing just to let their roster get jobbed out and raided? And even when they DO happen upon a good talent, they fumble hard because they know they'll just go to WWE or whatever. It's like they actively give up any attempts to keep a good worker when they get even a glimmer of a chance that they're moving on. The amount of top tier guys that have worked in TNA is unreal. Look at AJ. They had prime AJ Styles and had him jobbing out to Exfed shitters and 50 year old Attitude Era guys when they could have built the company around him. They had prime Joey Samoey and for the most part put him in filler feuds. They had Joe fucking Hendry for 3 years getting himself over as fuck with the marks on Twitter and they took an extra year to put him top of their card, and then just let him leave to satisfy an NXT crossover. Their lack of long term planning shows that the entire promotion is based on week to week booking like the early 90s WCW shit.
I am thoughalbeit. It’s the only wrestling show I currently watch
>>20452233>>20452211TNA almost seems to fear success. It's baffling.
>>20452209they've had a pretty shit roster for over a decade now
>>20452209can't be fucked to watch more wrestling than raw, smackdown and jcw
I watch for Cora and Tessa. But the males don’t do anything for me. I don’t care about 90% of them. Santana is atrocious.
>>20452233>>20452251Demanding that Styles take a paycut was the deathknell of them ever being a serious promotion.
>>20452209Because between Raw, Smackdown, NXT and AAA that's already enough wrestling every week for me.
>>20452209>maclin gets a close call>ratings plummet because TNA doesn't bring him back immediately despite him being cleared immediately
go away steve go feed your fat fucking wife
>>20452325fuck off buddy
>instigating pretend flame wars over shitposters trying to get memes over Grim.
>>20452290>>20452305>watching RAW, Smackdown or NXT in 2026
>>20452333I would kill to see buddy vs deonna
>>20452355>watching TNA ever
>drew more dimes and ratings than current TNA
>>20452364Did you see me objecting to them not watching TNA?
>>20452357You got Gresham vs deonna so that’s kinda similar.
>>20452357I would kill buddy
Because Dynamite and Collision are the only weeklies worth watching.
>>20452209because it's the DRIZZLING SHITS
>>20452209This might be a really autistic reason but the fact that it comes on a hour later than every other wrestling promotion on television often leads me to forget that it's even on.
>>20452475When was your last electroshock therapy appointment?
I will give TNA another shot when they fire Delirious as booker.
>>20452209like with all modern wrestling, too many womeme shitting up the place, can't enjoy a show when there's some cringe ass women segment ruining the flow of the show
>>20452209Because Mike Santana is the world champion.
Because I watched the first episode and it was legitimately one of the worst wrestling shows I've ever seen.
>>20453056>>20453028That first ep on AMC was legit bootycheeks. I will say they have massively improved since then but the product is in a weird standstill.Ever since Maclin got hurt at the PPV Santana has been doing basically nothing. He wrestled Eddie Edwards, then Rich Swann, and then cut two promos. (he has a daughter btw)Dreamer and Delirious need to be publicly executed on live TV I think that would pop a rating.
>>20452209Mike Santana
>>20452209>2026 >STILL doing that Rosemary demon world bullshit >STILL doing Broken Matt
>>20454188>>STILL doing that Rosemary demon world bullshityeah but that stuff is based
>>20452209Mike Santana should not be the face of your brand.
>>20454198>AYO WHATS GOOD>*crickets*>YALL LEMME TELL YOU SUMPTIN I KNOW YOU ALREADY KNOW BUT YOU KNOW GIA I KNOW YOU KNOW I KNOW I HAVE A DAUGHTAH AND I AM THE REALEST I'MMA KEEP IT A BUCK WIT YOU I'M AN ADDICT YEAH ITS TRUE I HAVE A DEAD DAD! YOU HEAR ME!? HE'S DEAD! MY FAMILY? I DO IT FOR THEM! I GOT ONE, A FAMILY. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? MY DAUGHTAH! ITS ALL ABOUT HER YOU KNOW?
>LEMME KEEP IT REAL FOR YOU OUT HERE NOW I MAY BE LA RAZA PUERTO RICO BUT I HAVE A DAUGHTAH AND A FAMILY. IF YOU THINK YOU SEEN WHERE I CAME FROM YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I SEENT OK? I HAVE A FAMILY AND I AM AN ADDICT!>*crowd is confused*>Ok but I'mma keep it a buck with you... whoever my opponent is next week in some random tag match that doesn't matter, you better know I am an addict and my dad is dead.>*confused light applause*
Ratings don't count right now, Nielsen is fucking with them again
>>20454251the show has been bad since dreamer and delirious took over and it was already in a battered state with d'amore.don't need nielsen to know the show is in a shit state. Ask one of the 3-4 TNA fans on /pw/ they'll tell you no problem.
>>20452209I did weekly for years until they went full retard and whored themselves out to WWE. When they take the TKO dick out of ther mouth, I'll tune back in.
>>20454301it is funny, they had barely recovered from the stink of AEW only to rub NXT all over the company
>>20454188>STILL doing that Rosemary demon world bullshit >STILL doing Broken MattEnough with the hard sell. I'll give it a watch again in that case. You're talking about two things that absolutely carried that company a couple of times.
>>20454350Broken Matt has just returned and they've already teased the return of Willow.Allie just came via the undead realm and is tagging with Rosemary (yay!) and Mara Sade (boo)
>>20454354>Allie just came via the undead realmI will give TNA credit for usually playing the long term booking card. Also, literally killing off, banishing to the Netherrealm, or having the police drag a departing wrestler away to write them out of the company.
>>20454365That was the stuff dreamer did well participating in, the backstage comedy, the wrestlehouse stuff, etc.Was a brightspot of TNA for a good long while. Wish they'd bring back Swingman full time, rehire rohit raju and others, etc.
>>20454422>That was the stuff dreamer did well participating in, the backstage comedy, the wrestlehouse stuff, etc.I always liked him in those roles and sort of a pseudo authority type figure. They don't use him like that anymore?
>>20452209I do but, I have little interest in anything on it. I'm a coomer and get off on some of the women's matches but, the production is so poor, it feels like I'm watching a YouTube video.
>>20454440No now he's the head booker with delirious...And even worse he'll show up with his podcast retard on the preshows and whatnot of ppvs giving his fucking opinions though they seemingly have stopped doing that.
>>20454461I know it's been about two years since I've watched with any regularity but Delirious is booking now!? >podcast retard on the preshowsPodcast or wasTommy been bringing Busted Open personnel to preshows? Because I could see that getting really annoying really fast. Apart from that recent bad press (not completely undeservedly btw) Carlos Silva has been getting, I checked TNA's roster and I really do like what I'm seeing there. There's a lot there to bring in some lapsed fans and a few kids I'm not familiar with.
>>20454579Delirious and Dreamer are the bookers.Busted Open personnel, lagana and dreamer did multiple preshows and it is insufferable.They have some bright spots on their roster but too much TV time is wasted on shit like elijah, the righteous, random knockouts no one cares about, etc.My loathing of Santana is one thing but he's legit done nothing since he fucked up massively and almost hurt Maclin at the ppv last month.It isn't a complete fail cascade and easily fixable but it is baffling the state the show is in given what they have on hand and their situation.
>>20452209because its owned by the jews and they dont really have anybody that I want to see
>>20452233Very sad that they have no confidence in their own leadership
>>20454222He's like a boring Eddie Kingston, padnah
>>20454301>Job out the world champ and his title, someone who's also about to go to NXT and is also the only over guy in their companyUnironically what in the fuck did they mean by this?
>>20454786whoa whoa whoa whoa I don't like santana's booking since his return to TNA but he's a totally acceptable in ring wrestler who could actually do an ok promo if he wasn't being told to do the same one week after week.He really should be in a tag team but he would be fine as a midcard guy. The problem is pushing him as the title chasing babyface when creative is dreamer and delirious and they legit have nothing for the guy.Eddie Kingston was an ok wrestler for like 1 month 10 years ago and has been a fat useless prick the rest of his existence.
>>20454786eddie has become a boring eddie kingston too.
>>20452209Watch literally who do what? Unironically who? Top Dolla? The fucking system?There's nothing to look forward to there's no talent worth watching, the only time I might tune into TNA is when the Hardy's have their final match.
>>20452369Fucking Callis with hair looks terrifying.
>>20456150I know I know, flop dolla and all but he's put in a lot of work since coming to TNA and he's a shoot good heel. He's an asshole retard IRL so it works for him.TNA needs to get some new talent but they do have some good guys on their roster. They just don't do much with them.
>>20452209the roster is just atrocious. i looked on their roster page and the only wrestlers i have any real interest in are these wrestlers.>nic nemeth>the hardys>elijah>the elegance brand>leon slater>moose>mustafa ali>santino and his daughter when she's there>tessa>trey miguelthat is pretty much it, and to me that's not enough to tune in for. a good chunk of the rest of the roster is filled with either fat washed up old guys or CAW types like pic related. like who the fuck is this guy???? if i didn't tell you this was a TNA wrestler, you would this i told grok to generate a wrestler.that doesn't mean they need to fire the rest of the roster. you can have a trey miguel, a lei ying li on your roster, but why were/are they champion? they need to spring for better wrestlers and i'm hoping with these WWE cuts they can at least pick up a few names that would do well there.
>>20457124>Dana Brooke>Nemeth & Hardyz in 2026
>>20457124This and it looks like shit. The ring looks embarrassing and I don't know why people aren't shitting on it and pressuring them to change it. Bischoff said in the review of the first AMC that it looked like it would fit in his kitchen. I stopped caring about TNA when they got into bed with WWE. Apparently they've stopped now but anytime I do check them out I'm reminded by the dimeless roster and kid's ring and I lose interest.
>>20452209it sucks
>>20454350I’m sure it must go hard if you’re retarded.
Santana is a boring champion and they wasted Joe Hendry when they had him
>>20452209i only watch for she
>>20452209maclinbros.. not like this ....
>>20452209I watch it on the TNA+ app
>>20457327dana is ok but i was more referring to the tag team, who i like. i guess mr elegance is there too, and the personal concierge.i'll always love big zig and the hardys are trainwreck kino.keep in mind, i was really trying to be generous with TNA here.
>>20459432He better be on the live Impact this week if they want any hope. TNA are retards for not bringing him back immediately since he never was concussed and was cleared that night.
>>20461514Jerk
>>20464287Nah thats you
LOLTNA has burned me too many goddamn times.
>>20452209I don't watch wrestling
>>20464344smart man
>>20452233This desu
