Matt really just took the concept of Lucha with their movie vingettes and brought it to TNA.
They need to do these vingettes for every single angle, they don't have to be as outlandish, but this is the wave of the future, backstage segments need to go completely.

I don't think you need to do it for every angle. Otherwise, it wouldn't feel as special as it does now. But yeah I agree, it's cool that they took this huge risk and it paid off.

LU does it for back office shyt, they do it for all character building elements, it works.
No need for the fake live, fake real aspect, its a tv product, use the full benefits of the medium.

Looks like they're moving in that direction already, but TNA honestly doesn't have a lot of wrestlers that would fit cinematic stories like this one. Could you imagine building Trevor Lee vs Mandrews like they did with the Hardys/Decay? That would be terrible. It's cool, but it's not meant for everyone

I think Mandrews nd Trevor lee and the lower end guys could benefit the most from it, with solid build ups like Son of Havoc did

None of them have the charisma or skills to pull it off :francis:

Probably why they're the lower end guys :francis:

People thought John Morrison was a low tier guy at one time too, after the WWE got rid of him, Rey was washed and couldn't speak for real, Matt Styker was a joke, but they showed different when given the opportunity, the same could happen for the low end guys at TNA. With a nice storyline and the ability to do mulitple takes in recorded segments and the ability to help with the addition of real actors, you can present a better tv product IMHO

It's TNA breh, they don't have the funds or connections to get real actors like LU does. They probably can't even afford to pay actors scale (i.e minimum wage). The last time they got an actress, it was during the Claire Lynch angle that nearly destroyed AJ Styles's career :francis:

Matt Striker's commentary is heavily edited. If you watched AAA TripleMania or last year's Wrestle Kingdom PPV, the man was unbearable to listen to during those PPVs. The man nearly spent the entire night trying to make fun of Yoshi's English by asking him long winded, wordy questions with a super :mjpls: tone, fukk that guy.
