Save Us TNA

Got a link to that?

Don't care enough to search for it, however you know without a doubt you said it. I believe it was in the thread where you were laughing at the fact he is a ripoff of some Indy worker.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

A ton for him? No

Fair enough. However he is willing to put money into the company, will he sink 1 billion into it? No. Will Vince McMahon sink a billion into WWE? No.

If TNA became competitive with WWE I am sure Panda would put as much money as needed behind it.

Prove it.

Only think I ever said about Crimson was that he had no name recognition ..... and he does not.

I couldn't stomach going through that many of your posts.

No he will not ..... he bankrolled it for his little girl and the company has to survive on its own.

It is doing fine ..... but is no threat whatsoever to WWE.

In other words you are full of it as usual.

Dixie has had her hands in many ventures...I have a friend who is a gospel singer & she was his manager for some years. I use to see her @ shows. Smart lady. Didn't know she had a dad who was mega rich.

He's a billionaire.

He's been investing for years.. He will see a return on the investment, TNA's recent expansion into international markets has made the company profitable, I heard that all the new deals since the Hogan and Bischoff signings have totaled around $15 Million a year, that's 15 million extra for programming already produced. They have gotten on in India, Australia, U.K (It's the #1 rated wrestling programming there), and dozens of other countries from the name "Hulk Hogan" popping up on the roster.


However before those international deals I doubt the company was profitable, their only source of income was TV revenue from Spike and the occasional house show, they used to run 3-4 a month so I can't imagine that bringing in too much revenue.

Say what you want about TNA, but i just watched an entire wrestling program for the first time in awhile tonight. That was simply a great show. Im very excited about the new direction and new writing. They have the talent. Storm winning the title was definitely thinking outside the box. Great start for the new writing team.

Ever hear of Panda Energy? It's valued much higher than WWE. They own TNA.

And of course, Panda Energy stands ready and willing to spend all of their assets on TNA...

Once again I ask, if TNA has more money than WWE does, where is their 24 hour network to rival the new one coming from WWE?? Even a TNA mark like you will tune into that one, I'll bet...

WWE is on one of the major cable networks out there, perhaps the preeminent cable network out there, while TNA is on perhaps the biggest joke of a cable network out there... millions more cable subscribers have access to WWE than have access to TNA...

Only you would try to claim that TNA has more funding, because they're owned by a parent company, while WWE is owned by, well, by WWE... what this tells me is that TNA can't stand on its own without backing from outside, but WWE can (as evidenced by their constant references to the way Raw and Smackdown at the two longest running series in television history)...

Which means that you're a pure groupie for second best...

 

[silverbear]

Huh?? WWE tried to prevent Jeff from leaving at all costs, theyve been trying to get Sting for decades

WWE fired Jeff Hardy for repeated violations of their wellness policy, it was only then that he showed up on TNA...

And yeah, WWE tried to get Sting "for decades"... that was before decades passed... but Sting rejected the most recent offer because he was gonna have to start out as a midcarder at best, not a headliner...

It's revealing that one of TNA's biggest stars is now 52 years old... don't get me wrong, I was once a huge Sting fan, back in a younger day for both him and me... and for a time, I tried to get interested in TNA when they started featuring him and Nash and those other old guys...

But try as I might, I just can't get interested in them... their booker should be taken out and shot...

And they should spend some of that vast wealth you claim they have behind them to go out and sign some top talent...

Basically, as it is, TNA serves two purposes-- it's a place for old wrestlers to get one last payday, and it's a minor leagues for some young talent who presumably are hoping to catch the attention of the powers that be a WWE...

TNA is a joke... there, I said it...

As for Sheamus being a Goldberg rip off....are you insane? There is absolutely nothing about the twot hat is even remotely the same.

That's about as dumb a comparison as I've seen anyone make between two wrestlers.

It is laughably idiotic, isn't it??

Goldberg featured a shaved head, and a ripped physique... Sheamus is a big guy, but not cut like a weightlifter, and of course he has that big ol' mop of flaming red hair...

Goldberg's best move was a jackhammer power slam and the spear, Sheamus' best move is the Brogue kick...

So, other than looking nothing alike, sounding nothing alike, and having completely different styles in the ring, yeah, Sheamus is just copying Goldberg...

It's strange, with all the time that R2A wastes on those wrestling insider websites, he doesn't seem to know much about wrestlers...

Man, I miss Goldberg, he was always one of my favorites...

 

[silverbear]

I didn't deny that he bought it for her? He put a ton of money into the company however.

Indeed he did, or rather, Panda Energy did... but as others have noted, Panda Energy has its fingers in all kinds of pies, many of them vastly more profitable pies than TNA is... so eventually, being an astute businessman, he's almost certainly gonna ask himself if that money can't be more wisely spent elsewhere...

Meanwhile, you seem to foolishly believe that all of Panda Energy's assets are available to TNA... permit me to ROTFLMAO...

 

[silverbear]

What??

Zrinkill said that Crimson was a Goldberg ripoff a while ago. No clue where Sheamus came into the situation.

Your response led me to believe that you were talking about Sheamus, too... so don't blame us because you can't express yourself clearly...

But OK, you were comparing to Crimson to Goldberg... so, let's do that comparison:

Crimson is 6-6, 252 pounds... Goldberg wrestled at 6-4, 285 pounds... Goldberg shaved his head, Crimson doesn't... IOW, Goldberg had a powerful physique, while Crimson is cut, but much more slender...

In fact, the only real similarity I can see between the two is that they both included in their arsenal of moves the spear...

I see-- you'll throw out any BS assertion that you think of, but won't be bothered to defend it when called on it...

So how are any of us supposed to take any claim you make seriously?? If you're gonna make an argument in here, be it about football, or wrestling, or any subject really, if you're unwilling or incapable of documenting the claims you make, you end up perceived as just another BS artist, whose claims are not to be taken at face value...

And son, you're already dangerously close to that... I realize that you're just a kid, but even kids should be more responsible than you've been in your time in here...

Bottom line, I trust Zrink's word a hell of a lot more than I trust yours... you have nobody to blame for that but yourself...

 

[silverbear]

Fair enough. However he is willing to put money into the company, will he sink 1 billion into it? No. Will Vince McMahon sink a billion into WWE? No.

ROTFLMAO... apparently, Vince is willing to sink considerably more into his product than Dixie's dad is willing to sink into TNA... for evidence, I offer the brand-new WWE Network...

And when was the last time, or any time, that TNA went international?? Please refresh my memory, how many of their broadcasts have emanated from Mexico, or England, or Europe, or even Iraq??

If TNA became competitive with WWE I am sure Panda would put as much money as needed behind it.

As long as TNA is willing to settle for second-rate talent, they'll never be competitive with WWE... they're second best, and Panda Energy will never spend the money needed to change that...

What a weasel response...

You were challenged to prove a claim that you made, and THIS is your response??

You lose-- again...

Every other posts he makes hates on me, no reason to read all of them again. He knows he said it, so its all over.
