Vince McMahon Rips TNA's Style of Wrestling

[TJChurch]

im enjoying the current mix of entertainment and wrestling provided by tna.The signings of jeff hardy and rvd add to an already impressive roster of which is far superior to wwe.I find tna more entertaining in its segments and the wrestling of a higher standard.while wwe has john cena agaist batista both poor wrestlers in wrestlemanias main event tna has aj styles and jeff hardy as a future match both highlly talented guys and they will im sure have a fantastic match soon:boy:

They will, I agree... I know it b/c I've seen it before. Don't be surprised if they keep that up again until Jeff goes to jail or rehab. (TNA: Testing Not Allowed/Accurate...)

Also, the signings were good, outside of the fact they can only debut once, & will now be slowly fazed-out by Flair, Knobbs, the Outsiders, & the other AARP candidates, much like the rest of TNA's roster, only half of whom are watchable anyway.

Wrestling of a higher standard? I'll respond to that part when I can stop laughing.

[Konan]

He can't do that; If he removed the words it's not now, all he'd have left is "World".

Vince is care about money .he don't know the the meaning of WWE .
Not everyone who watches wrestling is five years old and entertained by leprechauns. People can handle looking at blood.

[Smartmark]

Vince are an idiot! Will always be! Have always been!

He can keep airing his children shows, I don't care!

And before someone is pointing out; Why are you watching WM 26 then?! I only watch WM 26 because of HBK!

[Konan]

I really miss the old WWE from the Attitude Era when First Blood matches and Hardcore matches as well sudden chair shots were a thing of the norm on WWE programming. Now if I wanna see some blood in wrestling, I'll have no choice but to tune into Tawdry Nonstop Action (TNA) instead of We Wussied Everything (WWE).

[Smartmark]

^^ Or ROH :wink:

I will be the first one to call that a wrestling match doesn't need blood to be good. Hell, I've seen some 5-Star matches in my years that never had any weapons or blood in it. It might be good for business that WWE cuts down on the violence and blood in the matches, but it won't be good for the wrestling, but as Vince said, he tries to air a show that the whole family can enjoy, so I guess if you want to see real wrestling, you have to turn on something else.

[hardcoregamer16]

I am pretty sure the whole family is not watching that shit and do you think if guys have to pick WWE or any sport there are picking any sport. I mean I tried to watch this PG and after 10 minutes I want jump off a fucking bridge. I dont even care about the rating but god what little wrestling there is sucks and is so predictable.

[Konan]

Wwe sux ass. No blood. No farting. No chair shots. No spitting. No head shots. No nothing. It's like taking punching and kicking away from ufc. Good move vince mcmahon. Won't be watching this fake ass censored elementary school level entertainment no more. I want more realistic wrestling with blood and foul language and lots of tables and chair shots... Tna tna tna tna tna tna tna rated r for the hardcore wrestling fan! Oh yea!!!!

thanks for the post Kellie

The thing everyone has to understand is that Vince hasn't been in the 'wrasslin business' since he went to the New York Athletic Commission and registered his product as 'entertainment' and not 'sport'. This not only allowed him to avoid using union workers (saving him a bundle) but also allowed wrestlers like Hulk Hogan, Billy Jack Haynes, Sid Vicious & Paul Orndorff to roid their asses into orbit without fear of any drug testing.

Vince is Hollywood. With his company being pubically traded, he has to go where advertisers want him to go. Sadly, for most old school fans, this means cattering to kids and families. This just makes what TNA is trying to do mean that much more to me. I appreciate the fact that they are showing off a more 'old school' brand of wrestling, not just some glossed up, watered down product like the WWE has been throwing down for the last several years.

Vince doesn't understand the meaning of WWE?! It's his company, so he decides what the meaning is.

Not everyone is entertained by leprechauns, but not everyone sees Dolph or Drew as Champs, either... I see a divorce in his future, b/c if Linda continues to go political, she's gonna cost him $ when he has to change more & loses more audience.

The only reason the wwe went to pg is Linda Mcmahon is running to be a senator so Vince had to clean up the wwe so she would get voters to vote for her.

I thought I covered that; Is there a rule here you have to say things directly?

[Konan]

i understand what vince is doing. hes applealing to a VERY large market and im sorry to SAY this guys but hes gonna continue to do so. so long as it makes money. considering hes been in the buisness for so long he wont go out of buisness coz tna are about. tna used to be great. i was a great fan untill it turned in to bad wcw prt 2. i mean come on bring back in aload of old boring men. with old boring story lines. jez guys come on. whAt the hell haqppened to good old fassioned wrestling. thats whats been lost. the wrestling. i have seen the flairs, the hogans, the bloody scot halls. i dont need to see them again. i wanna see new guys. working a great WRESTLING match. not just the silly dangerous stunts that both companies prefer.its boring. sorry for the rant.

[LionDen]

I have to say this has been an awesome discussion about this, I agree that Linda going into politics has changed the WWE for the worse and it does not matter how anyone replies to that fact but that is the fact.

this is what i m saying. For the sake of linda vince can do every thing.whatever it will be worse for wwe or not.this is ridiculous if vince wants an "entertainment" kind of business then might as well take of the word "wrestling" in wwe.

Must disagree... It's b/c of Linda he has to watch what he does. Also (as I believe I said before) if he removes the words that don't apply from the name, only the first one would be left.

Vince is a businessman the more people a household that watch the more money he make so wile he is appealing to 3/4 of a household and TNA is aiming for that 18-35 guess what only one person in that household in that range the other three are watching RAW. bottom line there are less 18-35 pepole in the world then there are the rest and that's not including the 18-35 that are watching RAW. TNA can have the 18-35 and WWE will take the rest and the monday night win yet again!

Take the company names out of it; As much as they may deny it, for Eric/Russo/JJ/Dixie/Hogan, it's about beating Vince, working under any name.

Also, let us not forget that WCW beat WWE for over a year straight, & WWE still came out on top, even having Eric as an on-character employee for a stretch.

Wow there are waay too many marks on here....it's pretty simple when you look at it like this. WWE is after the kids with their "PG" rated show. TNA focuses on teens and adults only. WWE is doing the smarter thing and they will always be the more popular company IMO. Having said that I also enjoy watching TNA over WWE. Wrestling was at its best during the attitude era and thats what TNA is trying to recreate, but their doing a poor job at that. TNA has the better wrestling, if you don't agree then go watch some X-divsion matches. If you do that and still say WWE focuses on wrestling more than TNA you can label yourself ignorant and a mark. WWE focuses on character gimmicks. Kane, Cena, Undertaker and Orton. What do all of these guys have in common? They can't wrestle worth shit, but they are entertainers and thats what WWE is all about. WWE is in the entertainment gamme now. TNA is in the wrestling game. End of rant

Refer to that whe you quote 1 of them.

I doubt that; Look at the way they talk down about Cena & others that are made "for the kids", etc.

TNA focuses on teens and adults only.

I doubt that; I'm in my late 20s, & still can't stand half of what they do.

WWE is doing the smarter thing and they will always be the more popular company IMO.

That has more to do with what TNA isn't doing/is doing wrong.

Wrestling was at its best during the attitude era and thats what TNA is trying to recreate, but their doing a poor job at that.

They only want the roster, not the level of talent those rosters had.

TNA has the better wrestling, if you don't agree then go watch some X-divsion matches.

Yeah; Those are awesome. But then go watch the ones TNA books as their main events, with Hogan, Flair, etc. booked, & admit it sucks.

If you do that and still say WWE focuses on wrestling more than TNA you can label yourself ignorant and a mark.

They both still focus on wrestling, but the wrong amounts of time on the wrong kinds.

WWE focuses on character gimmicks. Kane, Cena, Undertaker and Orton.

Except for the fact 75% of those are playing larger versions of their true selves. (Orton, for 1, has admitted as much in interviews.)

WWE is in the entertainment gamme now. TNA is in the wrestling game. End of rant

Next time, "quit while you're ahead", AKA before you start.
