TNA also had the best womens match in the United States in about the last 10 years. Probably the best televised one.

And what did TNA do with their success? With the fact that they kicked the shit out of WWE's diva roster at the time? ...Why, they did nothing to capitalize on it of course!

Who here is still capable of making a WWE jump?

Jeff Hardy as a high profile, part-time jobber to the mid-card & NXT might seen as viable depending on his personal situation at the moment.

 

[bitesnintendog]

whatever happened to Petey Williams anyway? just got lost in the shuffle when they started bringing all the wwe rejects?

He just retired or announced retirement a little bit ago. I think he's a personal trainer now.

Gail Kim ain't jumping back to WWE. She barely liked it the first time

They gave him the brass ring and he drugged his way out of it twice.

I don't think they want any part of either Hardy as is right now.

The Knockouts at their best are probably the only thing TNA has over WWE in their entire history, but let's be honest here: When Lauranitis was put in charge of talent and Fit Finlay was moved away from agenting the divas, nobody at WWE has given two shits about women's wrestling. It's been used as a glorified intermission.

Lashley was in WWE before, and I liked him there so I hope he does.

 

[Rhaknar]

wait...what? wtf, why is he dressed like sott steiner

 

[bbd23]

wait...what? wtf, why is he dressed like sott steiner

god damn TNAwful thats why

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Gail Kim maybe, they won't give anyone else the time of day regardless of talent.

WWE doesn't have any female Asian wrestlers right now, so there's a huge market they're missing out on and she's probably good to go.

You never ask this while watching anything TNA.

that website is incredible

TNA plugged a lingerie elimination match on the first show by having Elektra make one of the most egregious accusations in wrestling history – she accused Francine of causing ECW's bankruptcy

TNA's Best holy shit moments

0:17 Are the plants always that obvious?

 

[diggler41]

Remember when this fucking company let Jeff Hardy come to the ring in a main event of a ppv drugged out of his mind. I can't believe Sting didn't quit right there.

 

[TheSeks]

I'm only shocked it took this long

That's one of the most ridiculously hilarious things I've ever seen.

you never ask "why something" you mean? lol

 

[Showaddy]

WWE doesn't have any female Asian wrestlers right now, so there's a huge market they're missing out on and she's probably good to go.

She'd probably end up being Kenta's version of Lana if they did sign her. Except she could actually wrestle from time to time.

 

[diggler41]

Remember when this company tried to turn Ricky Steamboat heel? loooool.

 

[JPeeples83]

And then Steamboat left due to budget cuts, and they were severe too - the show went from looking like a low-end WCW show to sub-ECW in a week.

 

[Bravocado]

The real victim here is Maffew/Botchamania.

 

[ReiGun]

TNA always came across as pure, grade A struggle. Amazed it hung on so long.

Oh or how about how Jesse Neal makes a better living working at Wal-Mart than working in TNA?

Is this true? Holy shit.

 

[abstract alien]

wait...what? wtf, why is he dressed like sott steiner

He was following Scott(in the show) around and wanted to be like him, or something to that extent.

Anyone who had significant time with the WWE can always come back if Vince thinks it would be worth it. With the influx of short time talent like RVD, Lesnar, Jericho etc., I think there is a big chance of seeing some of these former WWE guys coming back for a least a while.

As for the others... not very likely at all. Not impossible, but don't expect a huge influx of guys like when WCW got bought out. WWE has too many guys as it is an has no idea what to do with them. Not to mention that any new guy has to go through NXT no matter who you are. Even old ass Kenta is in NXT right now.

Jeff Hardy vs. Sting at Victory Road 2011 will always remain a CLASSIC. Yes, you will watch the entire video, it's worth it.

Now Steamboat is being let go from WWE because of budget cuts...

 

[CB3]

WWE really needs a strong competitor. I'll give credit to TNA for giving it a shot, but its been clear for a while they weren't capable of being that competition.

i liked the team canada period. but they quickly fell the fuck off after that dissolved

 

[Data West]

There will probably be a brief return of the Dudleyz on WWE. But I knew that would happen regardless of TNA folding. Bubba is good friends with Heyman, Rock, Jericho, Christian, Booker, and I think even Hunter too. And he's always been extremely positive towards the WWE product. He didn't really have a Kurt Angle twitter meltdown.

 

[BadAss2961]

This is sad news. I hope someone picks it up.

They have some good matches sometimes, unlike WWE.

its still amazing how out of his mind hardy was.

I actually thought the OJ angle was kinda cool.

I will take Madison in now that TNA's gone. Even if she smells like Hebner.

 

[strobogo]

Some TNA gifs I have

Part 1:

 

[Sheroking]

They have some good matches sometimes, unlike WWE.

You may have had a point in 2007.

 

[BadAss2961]

You may have had a point in 2007.

Nah... WWE is just really really bad at wrestling.

Same shit over and over again.

 

[strobogo]

Nah... WWE is just really really bad at wrestling.

Same shit over and over again.

Having good matches is the only thing they are good at right now.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

 

[VoxPop]

Oh wow its finally happened. Good riddance.

 

[Amon37]

Lashley is champ? I liked him in wwe.

 

[ScribbleD]

My condolences go out to Maffew.

put the titles on the wyatts. Do a dudleyz vs wyatts "we were the original crazy family" angle

 

[StoOgE]

Jeff will probably bring Matt along then get arrested for Meth as soon as he gets his first check that doesn't bounce and then they'll be stuck with Matt Hardy again.

 

[strobogo]

Part 2:

 

[BadAss2961]

Having good matches is the only thing they are good at right now.

The wrestling itself was never really WWE's strong suit imo.

I wish WCW hadn't crumbled.

 

[Parallax]

Jeff will probably bring Matt along then get arrested for Meth as soon as he gets his first check that doesn't bounce and then they'll be stuck with Matt Hardy again.

then he'll cut another meth fueled promo in a diner.

 

[Sheroking]

Nah... WWE is just really really bad at wrestling.

There's like a MOTY candidate out of WWE every couple months now. More of the top guys are athletic workers than they've been since... maybe ever.

They've been killing TNA in work rate for years, but this last 18 months has been a slaughter.

This reads like those fake ass reddit stories except I'm pretty sure these are mostly true based on nothing at all.

 

[Future Foundation]

Nope, they've had some incredible matches this year. It's been really lopsided.

 

[Man God]

This reads like those fake ass reddit stories except I'm pretty sure these are mostly true based on nothing at all.

I didn't watch the whole thing but I can tell you from when I did start watching TNA casually that everything from then on is 100% true.
