Thread: One thing TNA does better than WWE in your opion.

  1. #1

    Default One thing TNA does better than WWE in your opion.

    It's probably been discussed before, bt humour me. I personally think the one( and I do think its the only one) thing TNA does better than WWE has got to be the womens division. The girls there can wrestle and the matches get a lot of tv exposure. Which sadly is lacking in the WWE. What's yours?

    I actually don't mind Hogan as the GM all that much, which is odd because I don't like Hogan at all.

    As opposed to Big Johnny, who almost made me skip attending a WWE pay-per-view (something I would never even consider under most circumstances) because his push was so damn annoying.


    All we have is right now....

    Go hard or go home.

    Heels. Bobby Roode, Bully Ray, Zema Ion, Kid Kash, Madison Rayne & Gail Kim - all great heels who aren't trying to be cool, aren't trying to be popular or flashy, do a great job of getting heat and are just all around dislikable.

    Before it was obviously the women's division, but the gap has been steadily reducing and now there's not much to pick between WWE and TNA. And most disappointingly, it's not because WWE has gotten better.

    Storylines
    TNA actually has them and develops them, sometimes they're not so good (AJ/Claire/Danzarian) but still, they don't need a title or evil authority for people to fued over or against. It's refreshing to see, the Bully Ray / Joseph Park(s?) saga has been wonderful.

    Heels
    Agree with what hr said. Bobby Roode is such a natural heel, everything he does is fucking gold, same goes with Bully Ray.

    World Championship
    They put so much value into their title, it feels important because everyone wants it, as opposed to the WWE where the goal is to beat Cena instead of winning their WWE Championship.

    I agree with the heel part, but I think that's because WWE has fans who for some reason like the bad guys e.g Dolf, Daniel, Jericho etc. I mean half of the fans are booing the companys top face. I however disagree with the storyline and Title part. I'd rather have one good storyline than a lot of "not so good stories". I must say I am NOT enjoying the Joseph angle, but I respect your opinion. I am willing to give it a chance to develop though. About the title, if you ask any superstar on the rosters which would u chose beating Cena and never win the title OR winning the title and never get a win over Cena I doubt anyone will chose beating Cena.

    This by far. Regardless of what the smarks here say about titles not being important. Titles have been and always should be the crowning achievement. Not beating a name. That is just stupid.

    The knockouts obviously although they seem to be taking a back seat as of late.

    Last but not least. Wrestling. They actually do it on their show. Don't get me wrong I love me some WWE skits and bits but TNA allows more time for the wrestlers to wrestle which is nice.

    I prefer WWE's heels over TNA's. You got Jericho, Ziggler, Bryan, Miz, Rhodes with upcomers like Sandow, and Cesaro. I enjoy the first aforementioned five greatly but I know I am in a small minority so it seems.

    Bully Ray seems nothing more than an overweight version of Hardcore Holly but less cool. Don't get the appeal at all but then again I could never stand him dating back years ago.

    I'll give TNA credit in that they still try and push the lightweight/X-Division while WWE sailed that ship a long time ago(Remains to be determined what they do with this supposed Cruiser weight show if they have one) Have always been a fan of this type of wrestling so TNA gets the advantage here for at least trying to do something with this.

    But out of that list only Cody and Sandow are really heels.

    Depends on what Jericho/Dolph does moving ahead but I don't know how its Jericho/Miz/Zigs fault that the fans root for them and enjoy them. All three are in my "FAV 5"

    I think this proves the point that TNA has a better crop of heels than WWE right now. And Bully Ray is better as a heel now than he ever was.

    Jericho is an excellent performer and blows Roode away because one is simply better on the mic. The few times I have seen Roode, he has been an awful actor and overreacts on alot of stuff. Maybe its a small sample size but I don't get the sudden appeal for him.

    And Bubba has always stunk in the ring back when he was doing that stupid dance where he ripped off Road Dogg's Doggie Style. Could never stand The Blandleyz than again so I can't say I have never been a fan of Bubba's(I prefer D'Von out of the two though I don't care much for either). Bob Holly did the Douchebag bully thing better and was far more open to taking spots than Bubba has ever been. Seen him in this feud with Robert Parks.....maybe its because I live in New York and am used to seeing douchebags around here but the whole "I come from New York man" shitck is nothing new for me as opposed to maybe people outside the country or outside the state who aren't used to that.

    The Heels in WWE are pretty much worthless outside of Show.

    I'm not saying Dolph, Cody, and guy like Sandow aren't good performers between the bells. Well, Sandow the jury is still out on Sandow in the ring. However far as drawing heels they've pretty much fucked them all up outside of DB and Show. Alberto has been neutered, Miz is a one trick pony, Tensai has been fucked, and Dolph is the only hope they have but he is getting his shit kicked in every week. I think Dolph is going to break out soon and be a big time player in the same vein Jericho was, a glorified gate kepper.


    Roode and Bully are way better heels then all the heels in WWE excluding maybe Show and DB. They know their roles and their storylines capture your attention because they're so good at what they do. Roode makes the whole roster seem important because he is such a great heel and everybody hates him. Bully made Joseph Parks in to one if the better face characters that have come down the pike in recent memories. Hell, Joseph Parks is a better face them most of the faces in WWE right now, he totally makes you forget how fucking ridiculous his character is and you just go along with it, a large part of that has to do with Bully doing such a great job in his role.

    Another thing. Christopher Daniels is making this fucked up storyline with AJ better then it has any right to be and it is terrible. However Daniels is just brilliant in carrying it along, in spite of having 3 of the worst actors/actresses in the company to overcome. I've hated Daniels the last 109 years and still do far as his ring work goes, but as a character he has been great the last month or so.

    The jury is still out on Xima. I like what I see so far though.

    I forgot about Daniels, now he's a really underrated and good TNA heel. I prefer his Fallen Angel days(And well his Curry man days when he was that.....) and since as you said he has to work with Dixie Kong Carter, AJ Styles, Kazarian and the random chick who are all bad actors/actresses. Since Steiner left, Daniels is probably the best heel in that company for me.

    Haven't seen much of this Xima dude. He looks like TNA's version of Hunico to me but yeah need to see more.

    Hunico is a better worker then Xima. But shit Hunico is like top 10 in WWE far as workrate goes.

    Now WWE kills TNA far as ring work goes from the bottom up.

    I do like how TNA structures their backstage vignettes to make it look like they're "spying" on the wrestlers backstage, as oppose to guys just blurting out their most intimate secrets and feelings for the entire world and audience to see.

    Also, the way TNA really goes in depth with their character development, with their interviews are really good too.

    TNA has always been better at interviews and promos.

    I agree about TNA having better heels, they remind me of JBL because it's not as easy for heels to get over these days.

    That's great and all, but they are clearly not being booked\doing their job as heels so well if the most common reaction is love for them, you are supposed to hate a heels guts.

    One thing that TNA does better (and probably the only thing) is they consistently have more higher quality matches with more time. Most of their promos sure are abysmal though.

    My personal opinion is that TNA's "so bad that it's good" ratio is much higher than WWE's.
