    TNA Thoughts

    I've been watching wrestling since i was little (my grandfather and I used to watch NWA and WCCW together)... I enjoyed the TNA pay per view last night immensely.


    I've only been watching since TNA hit Spike. Does anyone have any thoughrs as to why such teams at the Naturals are now doing the Pre-Show pay per view. They were just Tag Team Champions when TNA went on Spike. To me it takes away from the prestige of the NWA Tag titles when the Naturals are an opening act. I dont' recall the Midnight Express, LOD, Demolition, Doom, The Varsity Club, orthers ever opening a pay-per-view to put a team like LAX over?

    Thoughts?

    They like to give everyone a shot. Well they used to anyway. Now it seems to be like exactly what Jarrett says it is,all these new guys coming in from WWE and the home grown talent gets pushed aside. Though I'm pretty sure everyone on the roster 'cept for Christian and Shannon Moore has had some sort of title shot but they just got there. Maybe Roderick Strong too but still that would only be 3.

      Well, one of the things TNA does is that if you lose your title you go all the way down to the bottle of the rankings and everyone else moves up. So right now The Naturals are fighting there way back to the top of the Tag Team rankings. It's a interesting concept but also at the same time I don't really like it, because I think the Top teams should stay at the top until a up and coming team comes and knocks them off. The Naturals last night to a degree had to put over LAX, because they are a new tag team and TNA has to show LAX as bullies. LAX had to beat a good tag team in order to show that they are capable of going into a fued with The James Gang, because if LAX beats only scrubs the Fued will look like a joke.

        True and I see that point... but it just seems weird you would pick the most recent Tag title holders (who are relatively young) as someone to put LAX over... again I don't think we would have seen the Midnight Express or LOD losing a match (in the pre-show opener no less). LAX could have beaten Diamonds in the Rough or some other team and still set up the feud fine.

          Diamonds in the Rough are nothing right now. I have no idea what TNA is doing with them. Young and Skipper have a lot of talent and could be a top tag team.

            Re: TNA Thoughts

            So in that case ... is LAX better than the Naturals now?


            I think Diamonds in the rough will evolve when TNA gets more air time... one hour is just not enough.... i watch some weeks and they do their best to put a story line out there... but it gets lost or cut short by the commercials...

              Is LAX better then the Naturals in what way? Wrestling no, Storyline and where they are going, yes.

              Also the Naturals are stuck on the PreShow and whatever else is simply because who can they really face at this point?

              Tag Team Story Lines:

              Team 3D Vs AMW

              LAX Vs James Gang

              Diamonds in the Rough (Simon Diamonds group trying to get recognized)

              then you have the Naturals, They simply have nothing for them at this point because the top teams are already into a fued/angle

              Exactly Factor. If they are given more time. TNA will be able to establish more wrestlers like Characters, storylines will be able to develop more but, 1 hour theres only so much time you can. Its techincally not even an hour program more like a half hour program with all the commericals.
