I think Nwa-Tna is much better. The somewhat recreation of ECW. S.E.X with Vince Russo at the head. It just makes a better show. Not much talking and just geat action.

WWE wins hands down. If NWA-TNA were any good some station would have picked them up by now. Who in there right mind is going to pay 10 bucks a week to watch that rubbish? I'm certainly not.

I just don't see how the NWA TNA can be taken seriously as competition for WWE. Once a talent becomes a success in TNA, WWE can come along and offer a lucrative exclusive deal, something TNA can't do. They just did it when they signed that one-legged kid. Jerry Jarrett's NWA-TNA is just an indy promtion at best right now!

I agree. From the results I've read, NWA-TNA sounds decent but there is no way anyone could possibly say it's better than WWE. Their talent is made up mostly of guys who couldn't cut it in the WWE. Maybe if they had a TV deal and they could actually get a regular audience they would have a small chance. I would certainly watch it. But right now, there is no way it's better than the WWE. I doubt anyone here does order those PPVs regularly so whoever says TNA is better is just basing it off results they read over the internet and thats no way to judge which is better.

I don't get NWA-TNA over here, but from what I've read is that there isn't much in it. The guys are no-bodys (except guys like Jerry Lynn and Ron Killings), and without much speaking, where do fueds come from. With WWE, it has recongized faces, action (check Smackdown), hardcore (hopefull soon on RAW), and other things. Another thing, what is S.E.X?  |

S.E.X stands for sports entertainment Xtreme. But I mean NWA has what everyone wants. Tradoinal ( Dusty Rodes, Vader, Jeff Jarret.) It has the high flyers ( Kid Kash, Low Ki, SAT's) Hardcore ( Raven, Sandman, Steve Coriano). I am just saying That is has what everone wants to see. Not just seeing HHH talk for an hour. Or storylines that suck.

That problem is that I don't know who most of those guys are. In WWE, at least you know who's a heel or a face, and their names.

I can understand low ki and SAT's but they have great guys. And way more entertaining guys. And with a great head write as Vince Russo, they could give WWE that run for there money.

I recently saw my first episode of NWA TNA and I have to say it wasn't terrible.. It didn't have the greatest production value, but neither did ECW.. The main problem I have with TNA is the slow pace of the show.. Also I thought I was watching a tape from 1982 when I saw the Rock N Roll Express come out to wrestle.. These guys were great in their primes, but seriously they are really deteriorated.. Otherwise some good stuff to build on.. If Jerry Jarrett was smart, he would allign himself with XPW and put there money and rosters together.. Then they would probably be able to get some kind of tv deal to start with and get bigger.. When I first started watching ECW I could only see it on like Sunday at 2am on the Madison Square Garden Network, but I thought it was the most exciting stuff out there for a couple of reasons.. The fact that I didn't really know any of those guys with the exception of a few guys I had seen years before.. Another reason was you never really knew what could happen there.. I saw a guy set another guy on fire, put the fire out then powerbomb him and pin him.. All of this while Kevin Sullivan was running around trying to end Hulkamania  .. So I think NWA is going the right way, they mainly need to pick up the pace a bit, and lay off too many "legends".. There's a reason why those guys are not on top anymore.. |

I go to the nwa-tna website every once and a while and look at the photos. It really does remind me of WCW and I'm sure it's a great show. But they need the exposure of television to get to the next step. I would love to see them get a TV deal and give the WWE some competition although it would be small for a while. But until then, they're no different then any other Indy fed.
