Brehs, is TNA worth watching?
- Thread starter The Electric Lady
- Start date
TNA is very watchable. Good matches and as stated about, lots of #fukkery
Christopher Daniels and Austin Aries are the saviours of this show. Kaz, Robbert Roode, James Storm, Kid Kash and even Zema Ion provide very solid and entertaining matches. Besides that, you used to have Bully Ray, who was a great heel. And ofcourse Jeff Hard, who tries to kill himself each match.
Yeah, the commentary sucks because of Taz, but it's still better than WWE (except for the Regal-Ross and Ross-Stanford teams, but they're only on superstars and NXT).
Oh, and the knockouts/diva's are all fapworthy.

Yup, it's not re-inventing the wheel but it's got interesting characters. Good to great mic work and the matches more often than not deliver. It's got a couple of guys you'd rather not see/pushed but that's true of any company. The matches and backstage skits/comedy is what the E wishes they could pull off and their approach to basic backstage stuff is innovative. The Knockouts areand the camera men really perv out on them.
One downside is commentary. Taz overdoes it on innuendo and jokes that take away from the action while downplaying the action much like Larry Zybysko without putting himself over as much. Think 1997 Jerry Lawler after all of his material is outdated and not clever with a stammering delivery.
Bob Loblaw delivers once again.
Yeah this is a good summary of TNA. I would also add that it's more targeted toward adults than WWE has been for the last several years. You don't see much in the way of pure corny comedy characters like Hornswoggle. They do comedy, but it isn't aimed at children.
A lot of their angles and in-ring confrontations have a bit of an old-school feel to them, too. It's generally a less cartoonish product.
They can't shake that small-time feel, though. In some ways I'm fine with that and even prefer it, but they will probably never be able to match WWE when it comes to presenting a particular angle, wrestler or event as a huge spectacle. This is not and will never be a larger-than-life wrestling promotion.

No.
Yes. They tend to drop the ball a lot on storylines but that's right on par with WWE. There's some good characters, a number of them are very underrated, and there's always 1 or 2 good matches every week on Thursdays. I wouldn't bother buying one of their PPVs though. They are glorified 3 hour Impacts for the most part. At least WWE doesn't charge for their shytty 3 hour Raws.
I think what turns a lot of people off is that they obviously aren't working with the same budget at WWE. But if you weren't raised strictly on WWF and were able to enjoy WCW/ECW/territories/indies/etc, I don't think you'd have a problem with it.

If you're gonna watch, make sure you post in the weekly TNA thread during the show
I don't think it's on the air anymore.
Yes, it's not as good as it was 5 or 6 months back, but TNA is the best wrestling show out right now. They have some good characters, a more adult product/good presentation, and better in-ring style.
Aces n 8s has been mostly mediocre or garbage though.
