Message to TNA Wrestling Critics
You know I am tired of reading all this crap about how bad TNA is and they can’t compete with WWE because of the rating they got on Monday night. First the WWE had been around since 1952 and TNA has been around since late 2002. Things aren’t going to happen overnight. TNA is now starting to get some attention because of Hulk Hogan and others who are there. TNA never got the attention they are now.
Secondly, TNA has one thing WWE doesn’t have anymore and that’s “Attitude.” Remember that era in wrestling. It was the greatest era in pro wrestling because WWE was unpredictable and they pushed the edge. WWE has been stale, predictable and not even exciting ever since the Invasion angle died in 2001. Sure they have had their moments and have had great pay-per-views like Wrestlemania but it’s not as great as it once was.
TNA is a combination of Ring of Honor, the old ECW and WCW in it’s a prime. You put all three of those together you have a great promotion. TNA also has another thing WWE doesn’t have and that’s Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam and Mr. Anderson. All still in their primes who are being used better then they ever were in WWE.
The one thing that will carry TNA for a long time is the X-Division. The X-Division should have their own show which I think eventually will happen. It’s great to watch wrestlers from all over the world.
Lastly, I like what TNA is doing. They are using the legends to get the attention and then showcasing their young guys and their helping build the younger guys up. For example, Hogan building Abyss, and Flair building AJ Styles. I am really looking forward to more of TNA Wrestling. At least they have blood, and physicality, unlike the PG rated WWE. TNA is here, and it’s going to be here for a long time.
