Shut Up and Give TNA Some Time

It's time to put the TNA bashing to an end. People, your expectations are way too high, way too soon.

In a “Hit The Ropes Radio” exclusive, Chuck Palumbo said it best: "They have the talent. They have the writers, and they have the management. All they need is time."

Kurt Angle said, "Realistically, it will take about 5-10 more years for TNA to be on the WWE's level."

Nothing could be truer. TNA fans are screaming for the organization to start battling it out with WWE. It's not 1998, and it's just not going to happen right now. Think about it folks. The WWE didn't start turning $51 million overnight.

In fact, it's only been six years, and you're asking TNA to do what WWE has done over the course of 46 years.

Despite storylines that fans don't generally agree with, such as Main Event Mafia, TNA has plenty of great things working for them.

Watching wrestling is a long-term investment. It has its ups and downs, but in the long run, it's going to be good. If wrestlers are in it to make a quick buck, or in this case, a quick pop, they’re never going to be satisfied.

Here are five reasons you should tune in to Impact every Thursday night:


5. Kurt Angle

Angle continues to prove he's one of the best wrestlers in the business. His intensity is unmatched and he can make anyone look good.

He knows his career is winding down, as he's preparing to leave for Hollywood, and he's looking to leave his mark. Look for great stuff from him over the next three to five years.


4. X Division

I know, I know. You may say, “What X Division?” They have been lost as of late, but it's only a matter of time before TNA remembers what brought them to the dance.

Although they continue to bring in former WWE stars, it will be those same stars that we're bored with. It will be the X Division crew that shines in the end.
