MONDAY NIGHT WARS--PART II
- Thread starter soundsandsports
- Start date
Insensitive clueless guys versus dancers. That's the real war worth mentioning.soundsandsports said:
It's pretty obvious that the WWE will win tonight against TNA because it's the time when they build up to their superbowl, Wrestlemania 26.
But I would like to see TNA do something to have a real impact besides signing former disgruntled WWE superstars that gets a big push first, then fall to the mid-card later.
I would like to seem them do what made WCW famous besides the NWO, have young hungry talent in clean finish matches making an "impact" ;D
The WWE has the better show with stronger storylines, but TNA needs to make sure that it isn't all about 57 year old Hogan vs. 61 year old Ric Flair if they want to be
taken serious in the future.

Neither... Gonna pop in a classic WWF DVD and watch George "The Animal" Steele rip up a turnbuckle.
After watching the two programs, what I thought would happen did happen in that TNA went all out with surprise names (RVD, & Jeff Hardy) expected; even Sting's Heel turn
seemed planned in my view
While the WWE went with "Business as Usual" routine.
I do think from a wrestling standpoint, TNA did had an advantage in actual ring performance especially from the X-Division and Knockouts tag team matches respectively.
But it will be tough for TNA to do what they did tonight every week.
WWE seemed to have some strong storylines heading into Wrestlemania (McMahon Hart Cena Batista, Triple H/Sheamus) that carried WWE in terms of strong writing,
but again people want wrestling, and TNA I think provided a lot of it; So I liked Impact for tonight, but I don't think they'll beat them in the ratings, at least not yet.

Vince McMahon survived WCW and Ted Turner's blank checkbook, and he'll survive any competition from TNA. He probably isn't losing any sleep.
A pox on both the houses of the WWE and TNA for the lack of both respect and time exposure for their women wrestlers. They deserve better than 8-women tag matches that last 2 minutes or diva pillow fights.

As expected, looking back, it will take a while before Impact makes an Impact.
In order for it to be a war, one most do something to create a spark, and TNA did the same old deal of bringing old disgruntled WWE Superstars, push a bunch of guys that
wil need time to develop, and perhaps the ABSOLUTE WORST THING TO DO IS TO MAKE STING A HEEL UPON HIS RETURN AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THAT WAS GOING TO
HAPPEN.
WWE stayed with it's tried and true formula of building for it's PPV's which compared to TNA giving away not one, but at least 4 PPV style matches on free TV does
frighten me a little; I suspect that TNA will move an hour earlier if the ratings either stay where they are, or worse, slip.

And, next week Steve Austin returns to "host" RAW, while TNA will have already been taped (with spoilers all over the internet).
You are right with TNA spoilers. Alternating Live and taped episodes is not good with the spiolers all over the internet.As for this past week I watched TNA over RAW.This was the first time ever I chose something over RAW.
TNA moving to Monday nights was a dumb move.They havnt had enough time to become established since they revamped it (for the better I maight add)
Thursdays were good because there was no compition and you could watch all of them WWE and TNA.
I hope Dixie Carter puts "Impact" back to Thurday nights.I like the story lines right now but I believe they are shooting themselves in the foot to Monday nights. It's too soon.

Which one? You have a murder mystery on ABC, which I probably would have liked but it wasn't good enough for me to add to such a full schedule. And then there's the spy headquarters under the Orange Orange which can be accessed from Buy More.mescutia said:

What's attracting former WWE performers to TNA is the fact it is done in a studio rather than being on the road all the time. They love the business but hate all the traveling.Everytime someone leaves the WWE now on thier own say it straiat out on TV they are sick of the traveling.
I don't think we will see them arenas anytime soon.If they do start going on the road I would expect it to be spread out at first and then maybe every week.
