"Finally".... The Rock Returns.

[zrinkill]

Del Rio?
The Miz?

Please..these guys are jokes.

And you think anyone on TNA is not? Both are better than anyone in TNA at the moment (except for MR. Anderson/Kennedy)

TNA is closer right now to producing a product that was more like what the attitude era was all about

Not even close .....

 

[Cowboy Brian]

Nah, i think its just Russo. The writing in general is just terrible. They had the freaking NWO there for awhile and still couldn't put the company over. I mean, come on now.

I love the talent they have in TNA, i prefer watching guys like Angle, Anderson, Sting, Steiner, Styles, Joe, Beer Money, Crimson, etc. I really wish Nash hadn't left, but i think they have some strong personalties there.

You don't have to have great "wrestlers" to make a great show, meaning you don't have to have super agile and athletic guys. The attitude era was amazing and it was built mostly around promos and good storylines and great rivalries more than the quality of wrestling that was going on.

I think the main problem in both companies is that they just arn't developing enough new strong personalities and the ones they do have are being misused with crappy writing, and in the WWE's case, trying to push new stars when they just don't have the "it" factor. The Miz and Del Rio are just awful imo.

Agreed 100%

especially on the Del Rio and Miz part, there AWFUL. Shouldn't be anything more than mid-carders.

According to an earlier post on this thread Del Rio has been wrestling for years in Mexico prior to his WWE stint and I know he's a 2nd or 3rd generation wrestler as Rock is....he's one of the best heels in the WWE presently in my opinion. He's definitely big time to me...and they are bringing him up right.

Yup ..... the guy has more charisma than most of the TNA roster put together.

He's less entertaining than Val Venis.

did you google that name or do you remember from when you were 5.


Del Rio is more talented than most of the TNA roster.

No he's not, not even close. He's a joke. Vince McM probably just laughs when hes on TV at the fact that people actually enjoy him.

He has a pedigree like few others when it comes to wrestling history. His family includes Mexican wrestlers Dos Caras and Mil Mascaras.

Guy is one of the best heels going on right now ...... TNA would cream themselves for a chance to get him.

No he doesn't fit the TNA style at all, see TNA wrestlers need actual talent & to be entertaining.

Really

When are they gonna get some?

Because all they have now are a bunch of over the hill WWE/WCW guys and some jobbers who failed at the real wrestling show.

Regardless of where this thread has lead to, I'm gonna have to agree with the glory days being the nWo vs. Goldberg and the days of the Corporation vs. DX and Stone Cold. The storylines in those days were great. I remember Kane and XPac winning tag team titles and loving every second of that.

Nowadays like stated above, a lot of talent is being misused. Miz and Del Rio are two talented guys, but they are being miscast as leading heels. Wade Barrett's attempt was decent but the WWE is too worried about Cena's image. Orton made a good heel, but he is too talented and young to ruin like that. He and Drew McIntyre are the future of the WWE. HHH and Edge are getting up their and Miz will always be a heel.

That being said, I try to catch whatever I can with Raw but avoid Smackdown unless Undertaker was on, and forget about TNA, it looks like stuff thought of in a basement by some 13 year olds.

I miss the little things, like the beer truck being sprayed all over Vince and the Rock n Sock connection type teams. The Acolytes were probably my favorite tag team and their APA bits had me taking a #1 in my pants each time.

Here is the ad from TNA website.

We get it.. you don't like TNA. You think WWE is better, I'd rather watch TNA right now.

Let it go.. its not a right or wrong subject.

I think Del Rio and "The Miz" are God awful.. you don't. That's fine. No need to keep making the same point over and over again.

 

[Hostile]

I miss Rick Rude. Best heel ever.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

I miss Rick Rude. Best heel ever.

Wouldn't say greatest, but he was great from what tapes ive seen. For me the greatest heel would be Triple H during Evolution/SummerSlam 2002 buildup, he had me genuinely hating him.

 

[zrinkill]

No need to keep making the same point over and over again.

Only refuting the same point that is brought up over amd over by the TNA fanboys.

The false notion that TNA is young and edgy.

 

[zrinkill]

We get it.. you don't like TNA.

I was not the one who started badmouthing WWE and hyping TNA in a Rock returns thread ...... it was the TNA/Miles Austin homer.

TNA was not mentioned till he showed up.

You make it too personal. What are you then? A WWE fanboy?

lol who cares. If you like guys like Del Rio and Miz, cool. I think they're an embarassment to the profession though. They don't bring anything interesting to the table at all imo. Especially Miz.. everytime i see him trying to act intimidating i can only laugh. I could kick his ***. He must be the scrawniest world champion ever other than Mysterio. At least Rey has muscle definition though.

Anyway, neither brand is doing much of anything interesting nowadays. Wrestling has gone way downhill. I don't see it getting better anytime soon with the young guys there are now and the horrible writing going on in both promotions.
