am enjoying TNA lately, The E seems to just be sucking alot of wind lately but now since Jericho has returned Im hoping that will change I actually DVR'ed it and found myself FF threw the entire thing. The Michaels-Kennedy brawl had to last a whole other segment?!!? Typical RAW formula, with their one "long" match at the top of the 2nd hour. Snitsky in there with HHH, Hardy and Umaga!?!? Ughhhhh. Why they had him shave his head when he had a unique look before...I'll never understand. I thought they were really going to bury Carlito... Only entertainment was Y2J.....

TNA, RAW and ECW have been entertaining for me... I like the fact that Booker T and Cage are headed for a feud from the looks of it... last weeks show was good, KAZ versus ANGLE was solid... I'm liking the KAZ push. Lethal needs to talk normal or best yet lose th gimmick all together.

Last time I watched the "Big Two", some 3 months ago - I was actually seeing longer matches and better overall wrestling in WWE. I want to love TNA, so here's what I propose.
1. More emphasis on the in-ring action and less on Russo-esque soap opera. 2. Go back to 4-sided ring. 3. Put AMW back together and a strong tag division without has-beens like Team 3D and Steiners. 4. Get rid of BG and Kip James NOW. 5. Some different venues - I hate the Impact Zone. 6. Teach the X-Division to wrestle as opposed to the over-choreographed gymnastic indy trash suckage that I'm used to. 7. Stop thrusting WWE-WCW alumni into the spotlight and pushing down the home grown talent. 8. Get rid of Tenay and Don West, or AT LEAST Don West.
TNA puts on a decent show but it's really not the alternative that it claims to be. It's just minor league WWE. TNA's strength is going to be in distancing itself from WWE, not in trying to be as much like it as possible. The differences need to make sense and be more than aesthetic (6-sided ring).

Why go back to a 4 sided ring ? what difference will that make ?
AMW - I don't think they will ever re-unite and reform .
Venue , change it ? . What will that change ? , apart from give people in other areas a chance to watch it . I'd love it if it came over here to the UK .

If Samoa Joe's comments represent TNA and are not just Joe shooting...then, I think this is a great turn for the TNA...TNA needs to be different from WWE...the 6-sided ring is a way that they try to be...I don't mind TNA using WWE wrestlers that can still go (Christian, Booker T, etc.)...but they have to get away from continually bringing back WWE guys that are done...(Hall, Nash, etc.)
Joe's comments...and announcing that Hall no-shows... "They just gave me a live mic on a pay-per-view. So, if nobody minds, I'd like to get a few things off my chest. #1, we have two types of wrestlers here. We have the TNA die-hards who come here and entertain and bust their a** for the fans every night of the week, and we got *superstars* who think they can come and do whatever they want however they want. We have *superstars*, who not only screw us – the hard working "wrestlers" – in TNA, but they screw each and every fan who paid to see them, no matter how old they are. So lemme make this real simple, let me explain TNA to you. TNA is the Motor City Machine Guns coming down here and busting their a**, trying to get a break in this business; TNA is Black Machismo doing his damndest to entertain every single person in this building, and showing us what's up; TNA is Samoa Joe coming in here and doing what he does best, wrestle and be the best damn professional wrestler in the world; TNA is a bunch of hard working, young athletes who are looking to change the wrestling world; guys who held down this business while others profiteer from it; TNA is the guys who come in here and risk their lives on scaffolds and wires, while other people show up and pad their pensions. So I'll tell you what, Scott Hall - *chico* - I'll tell you what. Kiss my a**, you're a punk. *Looks at someone off camera* "Go ahead, fire me, I don't care. So tonight, I went in that locker room, and they said ‘we called everybody in the world trying to get you a new partner'., and I said ‘No, we don't need anybody else. We got everybody we need in the back right now'. So I walked in the back, and I said hey, who wants to be in the main event tonight? Who wants to go get into a fight? And EVERY ONE of the X-Division wrestlers stood up! I walked in the back and asked who wanted to get into a fight, and every single young wrestler whose first TV contract was through TNA stood up and said ‘ME'. But one in particular, bloodied, beaten, battered, bruised, overlooked by everybody in the world said ‘Joe, please give me the shot'. So without further due, I announce my partner; a man that will show up, a man that will be here, and do what he needs to do; a man who is ready for a fight. A man who will be a man, even when he's an old man. Showtime Eric Young, get out here let's kick some a**!"
