    If America is wasting its time watching nxt, then we’re not as great as we think we are.

    Laid, they still haven’t stated the gimmick for Over the Limit. If I had to guess it would probably have something to do with submissions or I Quit matches.

    edgehead15, if you watched both NXT and TNA, you’d have your answer.

    Sounds like Over the Limit might have some ironman matches. I see that some people don’t like our country. If you don’t like it, then get out.

    Hey too bad WWE didn’t hold on to Jeff Hardy, Hurricane Helms and RVD… this PPV would have been perfect for them! :D

    Oh yeah James Lipton like RVD and Jeff Hardy are doing so great for TNA right now. Like I said once before an now the truth is out more then ever Jeff Hardy and RVD are the two most overrated wrestlers on the internet.

    Wow theres no way in hell NXT is better than Impact. Im sure your a kid so I wont go into detail here but I hope you do realize and understand that Impact has had a better show than RAW the past 2 weeks. But im sure your a 15 year old John Cena lover so I can understand where your coming from

    As a viewer from Australia i’ll put and aussie opinion into the mix. I find myself enjoying watching NXT more than TNA for the simple fact that although NXT isn’t great i’m much more interested in the unknown and seeing these wrestlers develop than the same garbage from 10 years ago TNA is throwing up with copying storylines, letting cripples wrestle and younger talent being buried.

    TNA sucks i dont know why you guys like TNA the ratings say it all its a failure their gonna go out of business soon believe it or not like the WCW & ECW did & the sad thing is WCW/ECW had a way better rating in the past then TNA has now & STILL WENT OUT OF BUSINESS O_O what luck does TNA have? we all know what just happen to ECW as well? it got replaced with NXT because of the ratings & funny enough WWE’s version of ECW still did a better job then TNA did in ratings & they got canceled lol Dixie Carter i doubt will save TNA for a second time when in threatens to go out of business!

    How in the hell can America be the greatest country in the whole of U.S of A????? when the U.S of A is AMERICA??? your making no sense! and America is not the greatest country in the world theirs many others!… like =)
    Canada
    Brazil
    Paris
    Africa(I Know its a Continent)
    U.K.
    China
    Japan & ETC!
    Dont get me wrong America is a great country to but you Americans always think your above everyone else thats probably why alot of countrys cant stand you guys o_o i dont no any other country that screams their own country name like America does USA! USA! USA! over & over again it just shows how conceited that country is o_o and how they think their above everyone… for e.g. this week on NXT they were chanting USA? & no one is the ring was even from USA? LOL! i like America though =)

    WWE= mass amount of commercials and soap opera storylines

    TNA= same amount of commercials but with less soap opera storylines and more action in ring.

    NXT= a breath of fresh air with new stars to wrestle on the roster. Makes for good airtime without the oldness of some well known wrestlers and their same ole day to day movesets.

    D. “The Destroyer” Beyer should also be in the hall of fame- I know alot of you scooter types dont know who he is but he is a true legend in America and Japan and he is one of the few men that Rikidōzan never pinned. Induct Stan Hansen as well!
