TNA is copying the WWE?
Have you guys reaised the amount of things and ideas that the TNA has stolen from the WWE. The major similarities I realised were the following: 1) Cena = AJ Styles 2) Rey Mysterio = Amazing Red/suicide 3) TNA are beginning to get guest hosts on the show 4) Undertaker = Sting 5) Kane (Masked Kane) = Abyss 6) Kofi = Pope Can you guys see the similarities. What do you think about this? Can you name any other similarities? WQ2: Do you like WWE Kurt Angles's gimmick (the goofy 'it's true it's true gimmick) or the TNA Kurt Angle gimmick (The serious one)? I personally liked the WWE Kurt Angle gimmick because he was much more funny and entertaining esspecially when he feud with The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Chris Jericho and Undertaker
Was losing AJ Styles the worst thing to happen to TNA wrestling?
That was not the worst thing TNA’s history shows a lot more terrible things happened, but TNA losing their home grown talent did leave a scar, when I started watching in 2013, there was James Storm, Bobby Roode, Abysse, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Bully Ray, D-Von and of course AJ Styles, and Sting, these too guys I considered the back bone and life-blood of TNA before dropping the TNA name, now the only original guy left is Abysse and I’m pretty sure he’s about too retire. Did losing the backbone of their company leave a scar? Yes, yes it did, IMPACT is now trying too play catch up again with ROH, WWE, and now a promotion that already has a huge fan following and hasn’t even performed one show yet. It did hurt them, but now IMPACT has guys, like Johnny IMPACT/John Morrison which WWE dropped the ball hard on, they’ve got Pentagon JR. Rey Fenix JR. they have LAX, they’ve got Brain Cage, Sami Calihahn, Rich Swann, so in short it did hurt them but they’re actually trying too learn from their mistakes you can see their show getting progressively better now, and unlike WWE does it lets the talent they get be their characters.
Why is WWE star AJ Styles thinking about retiring if he's only wrestled for WWE for a year?
He’s actually coming up on two years as of the Royal Rumble. Thats just WWE though. AJ has wrestled consistently for over fifteen years (he was already in Ring Of Honor as of 2002).He’s forty years old and has accomplished a lot in his career. He held pretty much every title in TNA and was the top star for the company over a large portion of his decade plus tenure. He then became world heavyweight champion in New Japan, as well as leading the very very popular Bullet Club. Now, just two years in, he’s already in his second world title reign, having also spent some time as US champion.He’s pretty much done it all, and at his age, it wouldn’t be surprising if he were eyeing retirement. However, I hadn’t heard that. And he has, within the last week said he’s not retiring any time soon.
Wrestling Section: What are you inter-promotional dream matches?
I would only mention dream matches that never actually happen in the years that I want to see them. So, if two wrestlers have faced each other even when they weren't in their prime years (such as Hogan vs Sting in 1997 and Cena vs Styles in 2016), I won't mention them.I wouldn't pretend these wrestlers could have met at their best, so I mention the years that those dream matches could have actually happened. All Time : 1. Hulk Hogan (WWF) vs Abdullah The Butcher (international star) in 1985 2. Hulk Hogan (WWF) vs Ricky Steamboat (WCW) in 1987 3. The Ultimate Warrior (WWF) vs Ric Flair (WCW) in 1990 4. The Ultimate Warrior (WWF) vs Ricky Steamboat (WCW) in 1990 5. Hulk Hogan (WCW) vs Bret Hart (WWF) in 1995 6. Sting (WCW) vs Shawn Michaels (WWF) in 1997 7. Sting (WCW) vs The Undertaker (WWF) in 1997 8. Stone Cold (WWF) vs Hollywood Hulk Hogan (WCW) in 1998 9. Goldberg (WCW) vs Stone Cold Steve Austin (WWF) in 1998 10. Goldberg (WCW) vs Mankind (WWF) in 1998 11. Goldberg (WCW) vs The Undertaker (WWF) in 1999 12. Hollywood Hulk Hogan (WCW) vs Mankind (WWF) in 1999 13.

Brock Lesnar (WWE) vs Abyss (TNA) in 2014 Current : (I pit up current WWE stars against Legends or between Legends in hope they are returning for one more fights, that's because I don't have any current dream match pitting WWE stars against wrestlers from other promotions) 1. Brock Lesnar vs Batista 2. Roman Reigns vs Batista 3. John Cena vs Goldberg 4. Roman Reigns vs The Rock 5. Brock Lesnar vs JBL 6. Randy Orton vs The Rock 7. Brock Lesnar vs Mick Foley 8. Samoa Joe vs The Undertaker 9. Stone Cold vs Brock Lesnar 10. The Rock vs Shawn Michaels 11. Shawn Michaels vs Brock Lesnar
Why is it that wrestlers who go to TNA are "WWE Rejects" but when they come to WWE they're "Legends"?
Take Booker T for example, or when Kevin Nash returned at the Royal Rumble. Everyone referred to them as legends, but when they starred for TNA they were called "WWE Rejects". That holds true for most current TNA stars who have been previously employed by the WWE. I'm not trying to start an argument, I'm just curious to know what the contradiction is. Is it because some fans view the WWE as a superior promotion? Is it just anti-TNA bile? Again, this isn't an anti-WWE or anti-TNA question. BQ: How come the "WWE Reject" line of thinking doesn't apply to ROH or other promotions? When MVP signed in Japan, no one called him a "WWE Reject". The same goes for Shelton Benjamin. It just seems to apply to TNA.
Which is better TNA or WWE?
No, definitely not. And the reason is that in some way TNA doesn’t bother about it’s wrestlers. As quoted by A.J. Styles, wrestlers like Sting,Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Bobby Rode, Austin Aries, Jeff Jarrett,Christian, Dudley Boyz, Jeff and Matt Hardy wanted to take TNA to another level in order to compete with WWE. But Dixie Carter who was the President of TNA(2002–2017) looked TNA as a lite version of WWE. And some way she was way more interested in bringing wrestlers from other promotions rather than making their own. Improper handing of wrestlers, lack of depth in story lines, improper stipulations were additions to their problems. And then with the arrival of Hulk Hogan, they repeated the same mistakes which was done by WCW. Back stage politics resulted in their financial downfall which lead to a brief cut in the pay checks of people who were dedicated towards their company. Certainly this didn’t go down well with wrestlers and they started leaving the company for WWE,NJPW and ROH. And recent situation of TNA pretty much describes that in spite of being in the field of pro wrestling since 2002, they were never a stable industry like WWE.

Should WWE go back to heavyweight champions like Hulk Hogan, Undertaker, The Big Show rather giving the title to smaller wrestlers like Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles etc?
Undertaker was a phenomenal athlete for his size. And he was never the face. Big Show, same thing. Phenomenal attraction, but not the face. Hogan was an outright terrible wrestler, but he knew how to sell pro-wrestling and made the thing a house-hold name.Going back to someone like Hogan would be disrespectful to the current audience of pro-wrestling who want better wrestling.Audiences these days will accept mediocre or above average wrestling if the Wrestler in question is immensely charismatic and is a Bombshell on mic. Eg-Someone like Ambrose or Punk. But, even that wears out with lackluster booking.Bryan and Styles are complete wrestlers. They do everything at the highest levels. Whether it's in-ring work or cutting promos. These guys deserve championships, even more than they already have.Going back to someone like Hogan would be idiotic and unacceptable. Hogan was good at his thing, but that was over 40 years ago. This time isn't just done, even his retirement is old memory now.
