As you all know, i am a big profesional wrestling fan. Now alot of you have probably only seen Vince Mcmahons WWE. Well, TNA (not to be confused with tits n ass) is a COMPLETLEY different company. They are dedicated to putting high flying, ultra athletic wrestling out there. They are a new-upcoming promtion that is looking to start back up a wrestling war (don't deny it, you watched wrestling back in 1998). They wrestling style they bring is completley crazy, Imagine a Jet Li fight, only with 4-12 foot high poles connecting cables to form an X.

Tonight and tommorow night are 2 HUGE days for this small wrestling company out of nashville. There will be 2 specials incorporated with Best damn sports show period. They are on at 8pm central time and then at 11pm central time. TNA succeeding is HUGE for the entire wrestling industry. In comparable to nerf this would be like Nerf buying out Larami, only sorta the opposite thing..


Please, if you've got some time on your hands tonight, give this stuff a try. Because BELIEVE me these guys do some crazy shit.

Damn ! Now I have to keep sneeking into frat parties to see Tits N' Ass wrestling !

[neonerfer]

Total nonstop action? NO WAY! All these years I've wasted on partial nonstop action!

[Half Newb Half Nerfer]

TNA has Jeff Hardy, hes the best wrestler in my mind.

Good to see someone knows about it.

Well, one of the reasons they named it Total Nonstop action was because of the TNA acronym.

Its on right now!

Jeff Hardy is the best wrestler like Jackie Chan is the best martial artist. Find me one contemporary he could take in a real fight. Having no regard for your own body does not constitute talent.

Well hes fun to watch anyways.

I'm not a big wrestling fan, just a Jeff Hardy fan.

Im glad that you brought this topic up because i am also a huge wrestling fan. I agree that TNA is extreme because unlike WWE which people say is fake, there is no possible reason why someone would say that TNA is fake because if you see it you will believe me. Rocky is also the man.

My favorite wrestler is Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar destroyed Matt and Jeff Hardy at the same time.

Ahh so your a big TNA fan too? Are you a member on the TNA Impact boards?

Unfortunatley the only stiff wrestler (kicks are real) that TNA had was Low-ki. Hes now moved onto Japan though.

[ItalionStallion]

:Bump:

By the way, TNA Impact is on Fridays 3pm on fsn. Its a worth while show and id request it to anybody with an open mind.

[Diablo]

We watched TNA during break at work once. We couldn't stop laughing.

[ItalionStallion]

Heh figured. Some people just don't appreciate it.

What tiem was it on?

[NinjZ]

its on channel 34 over here right now ( 3AM ). Doesn't lookany different than common sellout TV wrestling except for the ring and crappier ECW style filmogrophy.

EDIT: Take back my comment on the filmogrophy. Just seemed that way at first glance. It's still just looks like a WWE ripoff with a cooler ring.

Heh, its not a WWE ripoff. Infact they are polar opposites. WWE focuses on rediculous storylines (ie retarted wrestler,weddings). While TNA relies on pure wrestling (the x-division). In addition to that the WWE has a resrtiction to their moveset, which means they cannot use high-risk moves (ie piledriver,hurracanrana). TNA on the other hand has no restrictions and encourages high-risk moves.

Yes TNA has a 6-sided ring compared to WWE's regular 4-sided ring.

[JSkater]

Nah.

[physiquemodified]

Why do so many people disrespect wrestling. I was inspired by wrestling to go on my own journey for discovery and look how i turned out, i now am a ranked national wrestler and it all because of my discovery and influence professional wrestling has had on my life. I understand that people have different ways of living and they might not like wrestling, but why do people have to disrespect it so much. By the way wrestling is not fake physically, if it was, there would not be as many injuries in the ring.

[Fuse]

Personally I dont like WWE style because of how SHITTY it is. Maybe thats just me.

Highschool wrestling is different. I dont think anyone insulted it.

As for the restrictions, those are there for a reason. I personally think the "no holds barred" style of combat is stupid. They dont want you doing piledrivers because thats a good way to kill or permanently disable somebody. Going into a "sport" like that is just fucking dumb. Im not saying these folks should stop. By all means, please let Darwin go to work, but Im certainly not going to watch it.

Nope. I still don't buy it.

Brock Lesnar takes steroids.. if u didnt notice.. do u see that crazy huge bone where his neck is?(sorry i dont know what the bone is called) That thing is scary.

Also, if wrestling wasn't PARTIALLY real, then why do they have ambulances and police?
I used to watch wrestling but after i realized WWE is a waste of time when you can watch other hilariously stupid shows.(wrestling isnt stupid, but sometimes it is hilarious)

You don't believe in the pain eh? You're obviosley very biased and criticial, but i could understand why.

Wrestling rings are made out of wood. Wrestlers take "bumps" (falls) onto the wood on average 15-30 times a match. PLus you factor in dives to the concrete floor, chairshots, etc and that gives you a whole lot of pain.

Look at how many wrestlers have been injured. Over the past 3 years over 15 guys (just in the WWE) have been out 6 or more months. The WWE's active roster averaged at 55 people. Compare that to a pro football team of 65 people. The number of injuries are very similar.

In addition to that there is no downtime in wrestling, its year-round. There is no time to rehab aches and pains. Wrestling does take a toll on your body. You may just see it as fake, but there is much more to it than that.


I could go on and on.

A pro football roster only has about 55 or so players on it.

Are you saying WWE and TNA wrestling is harder on your body than pro football?

Yeah, right.

[VACC]

Yeah, right.

Brilliant fucking retort. Wrestling is fake, we all know that, no one is arguing that point. However, only an fool would refuse to believe they take any kind of damage. No, the piledrivers don't really compress their spines, and yes the chairshots are pulled, but they're still getting their heads jammed into the mat, and their faces slammed with steel. You don't think a suplex from a 7 footer hurts? These guys are athletes whether you want to believe it or not, and everyone of them has back or knee problems and a history of reconstructive surgury to show for often less then 10 years in the ring.
