Does anyone still watch this? I want to know if its safe, what with: - The Band, with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, a clear offshoot of NWO
- Abyss turning into a Hulkamaniac gimmick
- AJ Styles constantly wearing Flair robes
- Flair and Hogan having to bleed every match (Seriously, if you want blood, just watch these two. Nothing like two old saggy men bleeding heavily to fulfil your urge for violence, right?)
- Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan STILL running things
- Vince Russo
- Constant digs at WWE
- The Band becoming Tag Champs while guys like the Motorcity Machineguns and Beer Money are left out of the spotlight
- The Nasty Boyz
- Bobby Lashley promos
- Stings only gimmick being "HAY GUYZ I CAN HITZ WITH THA BASEBALL BAT LOLZORZ"
- Vince Russo
- No more Awesome Kong and Tara in Knockouts division, while The Beautiful People still have a job
- Guys like Matt Morgan and Desmond Wolfe still relatively put aside in favour of guys like Sting, Kurt Angle and the like.
- Still picking up old WWE guys
- Jeff Hardy "wrestling"
- 20 minute promos. Matches are short.
- No more Six Sides, one of TNAs best gimmicks.
- Scott Steiner
- Vince Russo
- Rubbish matches which spill backstage
So, yeah, I'm wondering if anythings changed?

TNA? I hear it's as bad as ever. And honestly, I lost all interest in watching it. I used to really watch and pay attention, and enjoy it. Even in the last few years, but it's gotten so bad now. Like, if I have NOTHING to watch on Thursday nights, I'll usually turn it on and wonder how it got so bad, and then go find something on Netflix.

When a company is so vocal about trashing its competition, and getting the superstars its signed to trash that company, you've really got to walk the walk. Yet TNA has reverted into WWE: Long-ass promos with short-ass matches unless you're a patsy for the higher ups (Hogan, Hall, Nash, Flair, Booker etc;)
It's even worse that the three things that TNA held over WWE: A competent Tag Team division, A competent womens division and exciting matches, have all turned to garbage
Tag Team Division = Seems to be fizzling out. Guys like Beer Money and MCMG are left in the shadows, while the Titles get passed around Main Eventers (Morgan and his random Tag Team partner shtick, The fucking fucking fucking fucking FUCKING NWO rip-off The Band)
Womens = Loss of Kong, Tara aka Victoria, a few more have left with the Championship being passed around The Beautiful People. I think Hamada, Daffney and others are with the company, so there still might be hope its still competent
Matches = Really, they seem to just degenerate into gimmick matches too much. Apart from building up some decent main eventers and getting a few balls rolling (Morgan/Joe is one that comes to mind. Sadly only one.) it just seems tobe Hulk Hogans Cavalcade of Crap. I mean, when they hired the fucking Nasty Boyz and Bubba the goddamn Love Sponge, that was just the end of TNA in my eyes. Getting rid of the Six Sides was also retarded.
The only real challenge against WWE nowadays seems to be ROH, and they haven't even got a foothold on gaining a wider audience.
