Default NWA TNA Impact on Spike

Any of the wrestling fans on here been watching TNA on Spike this month? I've checked out 2 of the 4 so far and i'm undecided if its any better than the crap the WWF serves up. The wresters certainly seem more capable of putting on the type of match I like but TNA seems to instead settle for the same old tired formula.

Somoa Joe seems interesting and worth watching.

Tough to explain especially considering wrestling has been very bad the last 5 years or so IMO. It's fun I suppose watching the matches and wondering who will turn on who, or if X wrestler will rise all the way to the top. I guess for some people they can never get past the fact that it is "fake" which is cool as I can understand but I don't compare it to sports and don't have the problem.

The truth is if you think wrestling is crap there isn't anything that will change your mind nor would I try to. All I can say is its like a thousand other TV shows out there.

I go through phases where I will check it out to see if its any good and if not Ill tune out for a 6 months to a year. I happened to catch one the Impact shows a couple of weeks ago and figured I would give it a shot to see if its any better than WWF.

Wrestling is something you really have to understand to enjoy- and once you do, you really see the art to it.

Hint: It's not a sport and nobody who enjoys it thinks that it is. It's preformance art, plain and simple.

Impact Suffers from TNA building up WWE rejects and has beens more than their own home grown talent.

Chris Daniels and AJ Styles should tear the roof down though.

Agreed. Also, there is a huge difference even now, with "Marks" and "Smarts". I assume most of us enjoy all the innerworkings of the business more then the show as a stand alone.

i actually watched it tonight

it seemed more of how the WWF used to be

it was somewhat enjoyable, but I don't think wrestling will ever be as good as it once was...
