		<description>It&#039;s only &quot;entertainment&quot; if it actually ENTERTAINS.

Judging by the emails I&#039;ve received, &amp; the comments I&#039;ve seen, you may be the only person on earth who was entertained by that mess.  You are definitely in a very small minority.

That has nothing to do with being a smark - it has to do with having good taste &amp; good sense.  You don&#039;t take a women&#039;s division that&#039;s getting the best ratings for your company &amp; demean &amp; devalue it with BS like that.

		<description>Some very valid points made here...I agree on numerous fronts...however I also offer a much more simplistic solution:

Just watch ROH.  Buy some dvds...HDnet every Monday night.  C&#039;mon, I gave TNA and WWE plenty of chances to redeem theirselves...they failed.  &#039;F&#039; THEM.  Ring of Honor is evolving but they still hold on to that wonderful Indy feel.  Not to mention any rookie on ROH&#039;s roster can out perform TNA and WWE&#039;s top guys currently running.</description>

		<description>So just because I haven&#039;t been brainwashed by ROH to think Joe has talent, that means I can&#039;t possibly have watched TNA since the beginning?  Maybe you should be more careful about calling someone a liar.  FYI, Joe has NOT been with TNA since the beginning. *

Yes, Eric Young has talent as a wrestler - I never said he didn&#039;t, but he does NOT have talent at delivering heel promos.  He just drones on and on in that monotone voice that makes everyone tune out instead of listening to him.    That&#039;s not what a heel is supposed to do.  A heel is supposed to make you angry, not bored.   I left out Kiyoshi because he barely does anything, but he doesn&#039;t fit either.  Who even cares about Kiyoshi?  If he disappeared, no one would even notice.

I hope you wrote to TNA with your opinions about their product, even if you don&#039;t agree with me.

*For those who want the dates: 
NWA-TNA had its first show on June 19, 2002.
TNA announced that Samoa Joe had signed a contract with them on June 14, 2005, &amp; he made his official debut at the &lt;em&gt;Slammiversary&lt;/em&gt; PPV on June 19, 2005.</description>

		<description>I have to respectfully disagree with everything she said except how the women&#039;s division is not used properly.

The British Invasion, Bashir, Kiyoshi (who she left out) &amp; Eric Young are a very good stable of young talents.  Eric Young was a laughing stock and turning him heel was the RIGHT decision there is no doubt about that.  World Elite teaming with an all American faction when they claim to hate everything America stands for however was defiantly the WRONG decision.

It&#039;s true the Main Event Mafia has run it&#039;s course, but I have my doubts that she is a fan of TNA since the beginging if she is saying Joe is untalented and undeserving of a roster spot.  When he was given more time he put on amazing matches with the likes of AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels (by the way quit calling him Daniels just change his look back and start calling him &quot;The Fallen Angel&quot; Christopher Daniels again please).  While I agree that there was no point to letting Joe defeat Homicide this early into Homicide&#039;s very first reign, he is a deserving talent nonetheless.

Suicide however deserves to end.  I bought, played and finished the TNA iMPACT! video game and I must say while the storyline was good enough for the video game it did not deserve to be brought to life.  Also since it&#039;s Kaz behind the mask I must ask when he did wrestle unmasked why on earth you just called him Kaz instead of calling him &quot;The Future&quot; Frankie Kazarian unless he signed off the rights to his own wrestling name during his short stint with the WWE.

TNA has a remarkably stacked roster of talented young wrestlers and veterans.  I feel this horrible showcase of wrestling being put out by TNA Wrestling at the moment is not entirely their fault but circumstantal as they would need at least 4-5 hours weekly like the opposition to support such a rich roster and allow them all the proper time to develop.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve seen Joe in person many times too, and I can&#039;t recall a time when he was ever not fat, though he did used to be in better shape than he is now.  What matters, though is what he is now, and now he is fat, slow, and completely out of shape.  TNA did give Homicide vs. Joe a chance, but Joe is a really heavy load for Homicide or anyone else to carry these days.</description>

		<description>I disagree about Joe completely and I AM NOT a ROH bot. I have seen tons of his matches and before he got the steady check he was not overweight and truly looked unstoppable. Now TNA mocks roh by not even giving Homicide vs Joe a chance that is piss poor planning and I think they knew that could steal the show.

As for the rest RUSSO needs to go and overall TNA is making me think twice about continuing to watch their programs</description>
