tna better get it's act together if they want to compete with raw. i've noticed a steady decline in ring action as witnessed by last nights show. total nonstop action=tna, not anymore talking is replacing the action. last night was the worse 15 minutes of talking for every 3 minutes of ring action. the rob terry mr anderson match or i should say non-match was pathetic. the street fight which was hyped several times during the show and recapped before the action or non action also pathetic. 6 pack and ey rolled around for several seconds and kevin nash apparently can't even fall down anymore when his action with scott hall was shown he was already laying on the ground as if hall hit him with the pipe .
I caught part of the 03-04. It's still too busy with too many angles, most of them poorly developed.
For example, the lead up to the Hogan/Abyss vs. Flair/Styles had various friends of Hogan pleading with him not to wrestle and risk his health, but Hogan's actual health issues were never discussed, and on the surface, he still looks big and strong. Plus, he's going up against a guy, Flair, who's even older. "No Hulk, don't go in there and risk your health against a sixty-year-old man and a guy who's half your size."
In addition, one of the guys brought in was Bubba the Love Sponge who, before making his plea, had to explain his relationship with Hogan, and, for good reason. I didn't know they were real friends outside the business. "Hulk, you and me go back a long way." "Well, Bubba, you better elaborate on that, because the audience doesn't know what the hell you're talking about."
Regarding your criticism about the lack of wrestling, it's spot on, and to the point where calling these guys professional wrestlers is a stretch. They don't wrestle.
