@txtneckbreaker The exact words you said. The Rock’s really good matches are always against all time greats (not true), he’s only a product of the roster around him (not true), and he wouldn’t have as good matches in Cena’s era (not true)

@Switchblade97 No! That’s my point! It hinders growth. Theres no investment in TNA because anyone featured either originates in NXT or is going to go to NXT when their deal is up. It’s a feeder system. It’s ROH for WWE. And I would love for them to be something more or different.
English
@ATigerPicture TNA has to be very prudent with their expenditure. We still don't know how much they get from this deal. More eyeballs on the product doesn't mean over spending. and do you think WWE would want to poach their stars if they didn't feature them?
English
Whoever thinks the TNA partnership with WWE is one sided is right. Its one sided in TNAs favour. TNA got a TV deal where they do 250k viewerss most weeks as a result of the partnership. What did WWE get? Joe Hendry who they could have gotten anyway once his deal was up?

“The WWE partnership is one sided as hell “ Okay… So let’s break that down. What exactly has WWE gotten out of this partnership? Trick Williams is a bigger star because of his run as TNA Champion but other than that what have they gotten? You know what TNAs received? More exposure. Higher attendance than they’ve had in a decade or more. Oh, and the biggest television deal they’ve had since Spike TV. So yes, you’re right. It is one sided. TNA is getting way more out of this deal than WWE is
English
@TheLilShorty_ @GiftedMoney First of all, who brought up AEW? They’re not part of this convo.
They only push and feature on NXT people they want to eventually sign. They have not made stars in TNA. There are no more TNA synonymous wrestlers. Just eventual WWE people.
English
@ATigerPicture @GiftedMoney Attendance was not and I watched TNA barely could fill a 500 seat arena before WWE partnership.
AEW has poached 15+ TNA talent since old partnership til currently whereas WWE has only signed 2 TNA talent since then.

Carlos Silva needs to speak up this is making him the talent, and TNA look bad. The WWE partnership feels one-sided as hell. TNA needs to stop bending over backwards and start standing up for their team
English
@VenomRiotUV @GiftedMoney Cmon. They got featured ONCE and in one match. They chose to sign with AEW, who didn’t have say in their booking prior. That’s not poaching.
They featured Hendry prominently on NXT (often over their world champs) and wow what a shock he signed with WWE!
English
@ATigerPicture @GiftedMoney The inspiration got featured on WWE tv during the TNA partnership, and now they’re in ROH jail. So again, who is poaching who?
English
@txtneckbreaker I’m engaging with your point. You said I wasn’t engaging with it. That’s all. I’m not holding you at gunpoint here. You can think whatever you want about The Rock I just disagreed 😂
English
@ATigerPicture @elliottswrstlin I never claimed he wasn’t what do you want from me exactly
English
@Switchblade97 How have they been using that to help the talent? Their pay go up? They make any new stars? The use it to feature anyone who WWE doesn’t wanna sign away?
English
@ATigerPicture Their ratings are up. Attendance up. Thats how they have capitalised on the new eyeballs.
English
@txtneckbreaker @elliottswrstlin That’s a willful misreading. They’d look at it the same as they look at Rock’s actual midcard feuds from his time. And they’d look to Rock/Cena, Rock/Batista, Rock/HBK etc. the same as those and they would’ve been as good on his end because The Rock is an exceptional performer.
English
@ATigerPicture @elliottswrstlin Are you genuinely suggesting people would look at Rock vs Chris Masters the same way they would Foley or Austin??
English
@VenomRiotUV @GiftedMoney WWE has direct control over who they feature from TNA and the ones they want to sign get all of that time. Grace, Hendry, Santana, Slater probably. AEW signs people when they leave. Maybe because WWE doesn’t feature them like they do other people!
English
@ATigerPicture @GiftedMoney AEW has signed almost 3x the TNA talent that WWE has since the WWE/TNA deal began. Who is poaching who?
English
@txtneckbreaker @elliottswrstlin The Rock could’ve easily had a good match with Carlito or Chris Masters or any of Cena’s other contemporaries.
His run with Hurricane (who I’m not taking anything away from) proves he can make something from someone not seen as on his level. He was that good!
English
@ATigerPicture @elliottswrstlin I never denied any of this. A lot of you people just wanna get mad and aren’t actually engaging with what I said
English
@lizzyflanagan And there will be people who think it’s good for TNA and the industry at large. I don’t know why anyone is fanboying for a monopoly.
English
@txtneckbreaker @elliottswrstlin That’s not true. Remove his promo ability and Rock is still one of the most physically charismatic men in that company’s history. That would always shine through.
His matches through 02 and 03 REALLY punctuate this.
English
@elliottswrstlin Not taking anything away from him just saying he benefitted immensely from being in that roster, if he was in the Cena era it’d be a different conversation
English
@RobertONeill31 They’ve actually reworked the plans to be Cody vs Pat straight up to work the jabroni marks or whatever

Jesus Christ. Jericho AND Ricochet in the same match? Yikes.

@BrianRSolomon It’s awesome because that’s a huge blind spot for me and it gives me and any fan a lot of great places to start watching and reading

One thing I love about the online wrestling community today (other than getting screamed at and cursed out if I don’t like something) is the amount of old-school knowledge out there. You can have a convo with people about Thesz, Rogers, etc. Years ago that was really impossible.
English
Sir, I must inform you that you’re not a wrestling fan according to people on this app unless you watch Kenny Omega wrestle sex dolls and 9 year old girls.
Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi wrestling sex dolls were the two greatest matches in professional wrestling history and got 9 bajillion Meltzer stars.
Quan of A Show RNC@AShowQuan
Also there’s nothing wrong with just watching one promotion.
English
@ProphetofParody Dawg did Dave Meltzer kill your family or something? Why so hostile to a man you don’t know?
English
Oh, fuck off, Maxwell. Your circus clowns run their mouths nonstop maybe grow a spine and deal with it. If your AEW goons spent less time wishing injuries on other companies’ talent and stopped treating Dave Meltzer’s nonsense like gospel hype maybe the clown show would finally shut the hell up.
ALOT OF US QUIT WATCHING BECUASE OF THAT CRAP
so take it or leave it would love to see AEW do well if you all could dump the shit that's making it unfun to even watch.
English
It’s called being preempted due to March madness.
This guy is actively a dumb motherfucker.
Congrats. You pay your talents shit. Than force them off shows where they can make money. #lolTna

This is a two match show. 2 nights doesn’t make anything less forgettable than it is now.
