Why does it seem like everyone wants TNA wrestling to die? I like to watch every Wednesday because it provides a interesting alternative to the WWE. I have followed TNA since the weekly ppvs and would hate to see it come to a end. What do you think?
I honestly don’t understand anyone’s point of view when they say that. To me, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it. I think it’s incredibly arrogant for people to say they want to see TNA end. Yeah, I am sure all of the people that make their living there don’t matter at all to the people that say that. Well, they matter to me. I think people that don’t like TNA should just act like adults and just not watch it. I have heard all of the supposed reasons people want them to go out of business and they are all goofy in my opinion. Whether you like TNA or not, if they closed the business would be worse off, not better. TNA is expected to announce their new TV deal this week, in fact maybe by the time you read this as I am typing it Sunday morning.
How were the Dudleys able to keep their names and characters when they went from ECW to WWE? Did WWE have to get permission or buy the rights?
At that point WWF was working with ECW (loaning them talent, paying Paul Hyman) and loaning it money, so it was a non-issue.
My question is concerning Wrestlemania XVII when Undertaker and HHH met for the second time on the grandest stage. When Taker entered the ring, they didn't play his usual entrance theme but "Ain't no grave" from Johnny Cash. On the DVD Takers usual theme is played. Why did they do that? Did they only have the rights for the live Show??
Yes, that was the reason. Using a song for one event is a lot cheaper than putting it on DVDs.
I can see Bray Wyatt breaking off into a singles career (hopefully it works in the long run), but was it really wise breaking up Harper and Rowan too? The tag team division is super stagnant right now, with only three teams holding the belts this year (the Dust brothers, New Age Outlaws and the Usos), and the Wyatts would have been perfect monster heels to run roughshod over the tag division. Now with the duo broken up, Harper is going to languish in the midcard while Rowan suffers because of the obvious and ill-advised Renee Young stalker angle.
In WWE, you are almost always better off as a single than you are in a tag team. WWE just doesn’t put a lot of effort into or push behind the division. Maybe neither will get over as a single but if it’s me, I would like the opportunity to try as opposed to being in a tag team.
So is WWE's strategy for writing off wrestlers set to star in a movie going to be Seth Rollins curb-stomping them into a hard surface from here on out?
No, but they do like to use faux injuries to get guys off of TV. I don’t have a problem with that.
