Date: Mar 16, 2010 at 10:56 AMProps to Austin for not being a ****, but it’s pretty clear that he’s mistaken. Look at some of the sewage that’s been thrown out as storylines, and you can clearly see that wwe may be on top, but it’s not because they’re a winner.
There just hasn’t been any serious competition because of one very simple top dog tactic, namely, throwing money at problems. Wwe has the deep pockets to buy off people, to pay them to stay at home and not work for competitors(as we’ve seen with Charlie Haas), and let’s face it, especially in these times, a person’s gotta go where the paycheck is. No shame in that… but that doesn’t mean someone else who comes along with better writing, good performers, and who’s willing to take risks can’t unseat the top dog.
The obvious gimmicks in so-called ‘celebrity’ guest hosts, the sudden ‘coincidental’ makeup with Bret Hart, all the things wwe has done to try and make raw more interesting(which, IMO, have sadly failed, as they don’t see the underlying reasons raw sucks) prove that Austin is mistaken, that wwe does see Tna as a threat. Not a large one, not yet, but it’s on the horizon. And if wwe doesn’t remove its collective head from its collective rear, it’s going to find itself playing catchup one day, as people move away from the stale, overdone and rehashed plots and the same tired faces squabbling over the same championships for the tenth time(Cena vs. Orton XXVIII, anyone?).

Date: Mar 16, 2010 at 11:18 AMWhy do American’s always say they “could” care less? Surely if they could care less, that means they care something?
The saying is you “couldn’t” care less, as in “you don’t care, so it’s not possible to care any less”.
Sorry, just something that really bugs me!

Date: Mar 16, 2010 at 3:01 PMThe apostrophe is a common mistake made by the British who follow English grammatical rules which is different from American grammar. In this case, the American English is known to leave out an apostrophe when describing a geographical place. As for ‘care something’, it’s a play on words. Read it again before responding with fucktarded comments.
Anyhoo, back to the wrestling. Brody, I disagree. The Guest Host routine is being used to sell a product each week whereas the Bret feud just so happened to coincide with the TNA rise this year. Bret, if anything, was going to to be in a Mania program regardless. I do think WWE are aware of TNA, hence why Smackdown has remained somewhat unchanged, but in terms of seeing TNA as a threat – I doubt it.
TNA still have a long way to go and it’ll be a while before they get to the top. Like many people on here say, TNA should worry about themselves more so then the WWE. At the moment, they’re aspiring to be something they’re cannot be. If anything, Vince would look at them and say something along the lines of “Scram kid. Come back when you got something important to say”.

Date: Mar 17, 2010 at 6:16 AMI agree with Daniel Stockwell. TNA should concentrate on themselves and stop boasting that they will beat WWE in the ratings. Stop boasting when you are not ready.

Date: Mar 17, 2010 at 9:34 AMThe Steve Austin of 1998 would fit in a lot better at TNA than the watered down WWE of 2010.
