DX sucks (Turning Point Video)

Re: DX sucks (Turning Point Video)

The angle doesn't work for two main reasons. One being that DX already has done this angle on nWo therefore this is just seen as a lame ripoff. Two when DX did it they actually had a superstar in Triple H leading the charge as opposed to two midcarders who have only been over when they were part of DX and have done nothing since.

I agree with the previous poster.

Re: DX sucks (Turning Point Video)

WCW didnt reply did it?

Im pretty convinced that Eric Bischoff Asked Vince to come on to a PPV and have a match with him....So Is that not replying?

I couldn't have said it better myself.

1) There may be wrestling fans that see what VKM is doing now that have no idea about D-X invading WCW so that doesn't really hold any water. And besides, wrestling is all about ripping off and copying other ideas...hell why do you think the WWE had the entire "Attitude Era"? One reason: ECW.

2) At the time when he was in D-X and did the entire Invasion of WCW angle, HHH wasn't even that big...nowhere near the superstar he is today. He was a midcarder as well so that point has no bearing either.

Um yeah he did but that had nothing to do with D-X invading WCW...that was a completely different angle. It was when Bischoff first joined the nWo.

Re: DX sucks (Turning Point Video)

Allrighty, Personally Every post you've made is how Great TNA is and What there doing Perfectly right and Everything WWE is doing Sucks and Just us WWE lovers wont give TNA Credit....Ight .

Uga fan? Geez

Why is it a big Deal to some that People dont like the whole thing? Its just opinions and Most outside the FEW Hardcore TNA fans dont like it all and Dont find it funny...Im a TNA fan and I dont find it funny, But thats just my opinion.

Maybe it will keep gettin better, Who knows?

Re: DX sucks (Turning Point Video)

Why was that any cooler or had better timing than the VKM angle???

Clutching at straws to justify the WWE doing it by not TNA...it's the same thing no matter how you try to spin it.

1) When they did it, WCW was the biggest promotion but WWF had a lot of momentum and was almost taking over.

2) Wrestling was a lot more popular. WWF was selling out arenas with paid customers and touring the country. TNA stays in the same extremely small building and gives away free tickets.

3) WWF was live. Being a live show, there was more of an element of surprise and that anything could happen.

4) If you remember the angle, it wasn't just "we hate WCW." It was that two of our friends are stuck there, and we want to get them back.

5) You say that maybe some people don't remember the WCW angle. This angle is clearly being directed at smarks. If not, why would they call Triple H and HBK, Paul Levesque and Michael Hickenbottom.

It's just a dumb angle. TNA should be marketing themselves as an alternative to WWE, not a lame ripoff. Besides the hicks that attend TNA tapings, I doubt many people watch TNA for Mr. *** and Road Dogg. By the time both those guys left WWE, they were already viewed as lame and stale.

Re: DX sucks (Turning Point Video)

i found the dx invading wcw a little funny....yet i was 16 when renegade stuff was cool

this isnt comparing wwf invading wcw. its more of ecw trying to be considered a "big company" and doing the BWO.

tna isnt in the same league as wwe. its like the nfl vs college, except besides the rookies and young guys, old has beens are able to come as well imo

how about this, say TNA existed in the late mid 90s, where would they rank then?

it would either be-
wcw
wwf
ecw
tna

or
wwf
wcw
ecw
tna

if it couldnt compete in the last boom, how is it going to compete against one GIANT monopoly (well not really a monopoly)

but my main point is the first one, making fun of your competitors if for children and teens, i dont see the point as an adult. I work for Microsoft (an example) lets go pick on macintosh or vice versa, just immature (maybe a bad analogy i dont know about computers that much)

What in the blue hell are you talking about???

I never said how great TNA was or that they did everything perfectly...learn how to friggin' read. If you would've actually followed my posts, you would've seen that I said TNA screws a lot of stuff up. I'm not even a huge TNA mark, just making the point that I think the VKM stuff is funny and entertaining.

Doesn't really matter, ROH ---> all.

Those are all good points, no doubt.

I'm just saying that when the WWE did it, they did it for controversy, ratings, and for everyone to talk about them...this is exactly what TNA is doing with this VKM stuff. It's really no different when it comes down to it.

There was really no other reason for the D-X invasion angle other than to try and gain a foothold in the Monday Night War and bring viewers in and create ratings...I think TNA is trying to do just that except there really isn't a wrestling war between the WWE and TNA. Having said that, I think TNA believes that there is one so they need to do stuff like this to generate a buzz.

I forget but did WCW acknowledge what DX/WWF did? I was way young back then and of course found it entertaining.

I don't remember to be honest.

LOL I do remember them giving out the results to RAW when it was still taped and Bischoff calling out Vince for the longest time for a match at a PPV when he first joined the nWo.

which is part of what made it good. BOTH sides ripping on each other and admiting they existed. as long as wwe doesnt acknowledge tna this is a complete waste of time and does nothing but make them look cheap

That is true, good point.

I guess my hope in all of this is that we will see some sort of retaliation or acknowledgement from D-X or the WWE as a whole...it'd sure make things interesting. That's why I'm giving this angle a chance, just to see where it goes.

lol TNA is what the AFL is to the NFL

If I own TNA I will stop this before TNA becomes a 4 brand LOL
