WWE is stuck at TV PG. why doesnt TNA go more over the top and try to push shyt, and create a definitive alternative product?

Wonder that myself sometimes. Even if they don't go all out raunchy, they could carve out a little niche with something more edgy.

Immediately came to mind during the Aces & 8s skit last night.

All that would require me to watch it more frequently is Mickie back in her skirt outfit.


Oh, and don't let Hemme talk at all. She can still be there in the ring, but don't let her do ring announcing anymore. her voice is grating and she is terrible at it still.

They should bring back David Penzer

Their programming is a lot more racy. The pan-ups of Hemme, upskirts, camera shots, innuendo, Taz perving out on commentary( I feel like he takes away from the show most of the time and adds nothing ). They're in a good spot right now.

I said this in the other thread, but even with TNA's lack of resources compared to WWE, there is NO reason that they shouldn't have been able to promote themselves better and cater to an older, more "pure" wrestling audience in the midst of the TV-PG fukkery Era.

Probably because they will be heavily criticized for mimicking the Attitude Era or for being guilty of "Russo booking" after firing him.

I wanna see Mickies lesbian gimmick again. Her eyes was so crazy and sexy during last nights show promo.

And that Aces & 8 hookers actually reminded me that TNA is still TV14
