a TNA rant...

...inspired by Slick's thread @ WWE Universe. edited for sole blogging purposes.

Lately, i've been getting real sick of TNA wrestling and their cartoonish lameness they've been presenting. Every nowandthen, we are graced with the presence of some more than decent wrestling and acrobatics by the likes of Angle, Styles, MCMG, Gen.Me, but seriously, the rest can nearly be considered as Jim Cornette put it, "old guys bitching about stuff that happened 15 years ago."

I've realized now that TNA is simply trying to gain inferiority by possessing the likes of wrestling stars from the past and milking them of whatever skill they have left. It is somewhat pathetic but it's aimed towards the wrestling fans who appreciate the nostalgia (which I must admit, I can be one at times).

But seriously, in the wrestling age of new dogs uprising and pure wrestling innovation, TNA has certainly lost their focus and are heading towards the early 90's WWE phase of cartoonish gimmicks and stiff wrestlers who can barely be considered "fit" or "in shape."

And one last point, the 6 sided ring not only brought a sense of international appeal, but allowed a much more diverse offensive and strategic potential that made their entertainment much more exciting and unique for American wrestling fans. I believe the Hogan/Bischoff regime is backtracking TNA which goes completely against what their first gameplan was, and quite frankly, it's a little sad.

I plan to post more on various topics later on. Just been a little busy lately. Thanks to all who read and feel free to comment.
