lets say austin and the rock joined TNA

[mr x]

right now if those 2 joined TNA(hypothetically of course)

1. would yall start watching it like you watch wwe?

2.what effect would it have on TNA?

 

[Henzo]

1. maybe the first week or 2
2. nope

 

[Larry]

no effect. people watch wwe on instinct, not because of who's there. if cena turned up in tna, wwe would still be the company, and tna still wouldn't be shyt.

jeff hardy was on cena's level during his last run with the e. no one can deny that. his merch was selling godly amounts, people were paying to see him, etc. he could return to the WWE tomorrow and EASILY be the 2nd biggest name in the company, ahead of Punk and right below Cena. however, once he showed up in tna, he simply didnt matter anymore. I bet millions of kids around the world who watch WWE regularly don't even realize Hardy is still wrestling. they probably think the match with Punk was his last.

the e makes those nikkas, not the other way around. vince

 

[swag johnson]

tna would still find a way to fukk it up

 

[KingDanz]

i can't take tna serious with that pathetic crowd. the atmosphere sucks..

 

[Metta World Movement]

What would you rather hear during an Austin or Rock promo?

This......

WWE - Arena Crowd Cheer Sound Effect - YouTube

or this?

Applause Crowd Cheering sound effect - YouTube

 

[THEREALBRAND]

WWE fan boys would still find random reasons to trash TNA that have absolutely nothing to do with the actual wrestling product.

 

[R=G]

Never would be possible. Rock or Austin would create their own company from the bottom up with their connections if anything.

Supposing it did happen, outside of a few weeks worth of TV ratings and a month or two of a bump in buy rates, it wouldn't matter.

You'd think a company that has names like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, RVD, Sting and talent like Styles, Daniels, Aries, MCMG, etc. would do better and have more recognition but they don't and they can't change it because of who owns the company and who is running the company. Rock & Austin wouldn't benefit TNA in the long-run because booking can't back them up and their huge paychecks probably would finally put the company under.

It's all about brand perception these days for the most part, who is on the roster is almost irrelevant. You can swap rosters and the majority of the people are still going to stick with whatever's branded a WWE show. TNA & WWE are in the same place they are always going to be in, nothing is ever going to change that.


And why the fukk is this guy on the roster page? http://www.impactwrestling.com/roster/Wrestler-Roster/item/2920-Mark-Haskins

Isn't he the one that has had only 2 or 3 matches and nearly killed himself in all of them?

 

[Alexander The Great]

it would at the very least get dvr'd every week

1. Perhaps, just to see what would happen
2. TNA would still find a way to fukk it up.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

WWE the brand is still bigger than those two especially now that neither of them could go full time.

If they appeared on a consistent basis I could see TNA's ratings bumping up from 1.1's to maybe 1.7's... 2.0 on a GOOD week.

Minimal effect.

 

[I-Hate-You]

TNA already has Austin. And you should be watching because of that, fakkits.
