Who cares if TNA is brining in (or trying to) Lesnar? Even if he does come in It'll just be another stunt that will flop. We all thought when Kurt came in it was going to turn things in favor of TNA. That flopped because they pushed Kurt over Joe time and again. With all the problems that Kurt has had, physically, with the painkillers, it really makes no sense to push him as the champion right now with all these investigations going on. Samoa Joe on the other hand wouldn't really be looked at the same way. He's got all the tools to be their top guy, PLUS he's a TNA guy, not a thrown away WWE guy.
I'm really sick of TNA right now. WWE is producing a better product all around right now. In order for TNA to succede again, they really need to focus on their own guys. So, heres a special treat for you all. I'm going to break down the TNA Roster, and we'll see where we're at.
Abyss - One of the very few TNA guys in the main event/upper mid-card. He's well over and does anything neccesary to get his match/segment over.
AJ Styles - has gone a long way from being NWA Champion. TNA has really dropped the ball on AJ lately. While having him play second to Christian might be humorous, its a waste of his talent. He'd make a great champion still.
Andrew Martin - Needs to go home. Period.
Black Reign - I have no idea what the hell this is all about. His entire feud with Harris is stupid and its costing Harris big time. Rhodes needs to be putting Harris over, not his new persona.
Chris Harris - Speaking of, Harris has been here since the begining and has definitely earned his wings. I loved that he got into the KotM match and got highlighted too. They seemed to be elevating him into the main event, then they failed. I feel for Harris here.
Christian Cage - Good where hes at. he had a good run as champ, now hes taking a break elevating Abyss.
Eric Young - Company Mascot is wearing thin on me. As loveable as he is, he needs to move away from Robert Roode. Gail Kim is a good pairing for him.
James Storm - Has gotten over BIG TIME with me. Hes on my list for the top 3 heels today in any company. I really hope that following his feud with Rhino that he gets elevated. He could definitely be the champ in my eyes.
Jay Lethal - One of the most over performers in TNA, Black Machismo is hot hot hot. I was elated when he finally got the belt, and pissed that he lost it so quickly. TNA can't seem to make up their mind with him, but you don't often see them burying him flat out. Someone likes him, and rightfully so. The question is, will it ever translate into another X-Division run, or will he become the Funaki of TNA?
Jeff Jarrett - They made the right choice to bring him back as a face, and he did well in that short run. I'm awaiting his return, but like before, it needs to be in an elevating position. WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD. The exception to that is if the rumors are true (Angle v Jarret at BFG) and Jarret plays the role he used to fight against, the hero that FINALLY takes the title away from the unwanted champion. But even then, it would have to be a short reign.
Kurt Angle - If he doesn't drop all the belts by Bound for Glory then someone seriously has something wrong in their head. Kurts had his glory, as much as anyone can stand. he needs to step down and let the guys have their time to shine.
Lance Hoyt - I dunno about this guy. I always felt that TNA never really gave him a chance, but I see him enough where it could easily be him no capitalizing for whatever reason. Rumors flying about that he might jump to the 'E', but I think that might be better for him. He won't get far in TNA
Matt Morgan - I dreaded his arrival, but for the spot hes got, I don't see a problem. It's actually kinda nice and simple and I hope it works out for both him and Cornette.
Mr. Backlund - Theres funny, then theres Backlund. This guy is so bizarre, it just does not translate for me. Please retire Mr. Backlund, you served us well, now serve yourself with some Peace.
Pacman Jones - Is actually on the roster.....Dear god I hope this flops and I hope he goes back to whatever jail it was that last released him.
Petey FUCKIN Williams - If someone knows of an incident where Petey has been unable to work for whatever reason, please let me know. Theres no possible way they could just be wasting this talent. Just no way in hell. I couldn't believe it.
Rhino - THE most underrated guy on the roster. Rhino delivers time after time, and the fans love this guy to death. Why creative feels the need to have him lose not only every feud, but every stinkin match is beyond me. He could easily be placed right back into the Main Event, but I don't think I'd like to see him there. I like him in the mid-card, but I want to see him win once in a while dammit.
Robert Roode - I don't understand his gimmick, but he pulls it off...I think? I like him where he is with Christian, but he seriously needs to find something better to do than pick on EY. It's gotten stale. Very stale. Possible Main Eventer, but hes better in the mid to upper mid-card for now.
Ron Killings - Whats to say? We haven't seen the guy in forever because he and TNA don't get along too well. The only reason hes on TV now is because hes the available black guy that can work with Pacman. Why it couldn't have been a white guy, I'll never understand. He has the talent, but hes got an attitude and doesn't play well with others, from what I heard. better off in Triple A.
Samoa Joe - How this guy isn't the champ yet defies all logic. He's beyond TNA, beyond WWE....he's Samoe Joe. He held the ROH title for over 20 months, had the match of the year with Kenta Kobashi, went undefeated in TNA for 18 months, revigorated the X-Divison, had the best match in TNA HISTORY with Styles and Daniels, made Kurt Angle tap, et cetera.....et cetera. If TNA was smart, they would have made Joe the face of the company a loooooong time ago. The chase for the eventual title win is intresting, but its dragged on for far too long now.
Shark Boy - Roffle. This guy is awesome. For a jobber, he gets pushed in the matches hes actually in. Always fun to watch, but absolutely best in small doses.
Sonjay Dutt - This "guru" gimmick had me skeptical, but the moment he told Kurt that he loved him, all doubts were erased. best thing about him is his new ring attire. That shit is nice. Unfortunately, for all the talent he has, I will always see him playing second fiddle to Lethal. TNA had a chance to rectify that with a feud between the two (which to me would be a reason to buy a PPV) but they ended up making him crawl back underneath. Sad.
Sting - His initial run to eliminate Jarret was fine, then his bouts with Chirstian and Abyss were pretty good. Hes settled now from the limelight into an upper-mid card status as a mean to elevate Abyss. I got a lot of respect for Sting, I can't find any fault in where hes at or what hes done.
Tomko - Another guy thats GREAT in small doses. He's not a technician, but he plays his role as the muscle of Christians Coalition perfectly. I'm glad they didn't pull the trigger on his face turn. He would not have excelled I don't think, and it would have cost him.
Phew. I'll do the Tag Teams later. This was fun to write though. I think I forgot the prupose of it halfway through but oh well.
Fuck the Faces, Huzzah for Heels.
