The Pro’s and Con’s of TNA Wrestling

It has been almost eight years since Jeff Jarrett founded TNA Wrestling with his father and over those eight years it has changed a lot. TNA started out as NWA-TNA and was on weekly PPV for 5 dollars. They were bringing in stars that WWE had gotten rid of or guys who never found work after WCW went out of business. The one thing TNA has done great is capitalizing on the mistakes WWE has made. For example when WWE got right of the cruiser-weight division, TNA highlighted the X-Division and showed their high flyers off. TNA has literally stole some talent away from TNA including the likes of Kurt Angle, Bobby Lashley, Mick Foley, Booker T and even though he is back with WWE, they had Christian at one point. TNA has a mixture of young guys and veterans that give it that great dynamic that wrestling fans deserve to have. They have a lot of great young guys like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Matt Morgan and Hernandez. These guys haven’t been fully exposed yet because TNA does not have the media attention that the WWE does. TNA will need to start marketing their wrestlers much more now. They cannot rely on just Hulk Hogan to get all the media attention for them. TNA is headed in the right direction but could history be repeating itself.

My biggest fear with TNA is that the backstage politics with Vince Russo, Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash will destroy TNA just like they did WCW. TNA and WCW have so many similarities it’s really scary actually. I think Dixie Carter has a good head on her shoulders if she smells troubles she’ll put people in their place and won’t hesitate to give someone the boot. TNA doesn’t have the history that the WWE does and they need to realize they can’t beat WWE. WCW went in with that attitude and look at what happen with them. TNA needs to worry about their doing and not what everyone else is doing. If they do that, they will be successful.

There is no doubt in my mind you can expect the unexpected in TNA in 2010. Who will they bring in, who will rise, and who will fall? Stay tuned to find out how good TNA is really going to be. This is going to be an exciting year for wrestling fans all over the world. This year is going to redefine the wrestling business all over again, so strap in get ready for the exciting ride of your life. The Monday Night Wars return so let the battle begin.
