Shut Up and Give TNA Some Time

3. Tag Team Division

TNA does a great job of keeping teams together and giving us reasons to care. LAX, Motor City Machine Guns, Lethal Consequences, and Beer Money are all solid duos and could compete with any two in the world.

You’ve got to love how MCMG can hit one another with a clothesline and not break up the following week. Although some teams are thrown together, it's the steady ones that let you know they are booking for the future and not next week.


2. Knockout Division

Notice a pattern yet?

I truly think TNA is doing a much better job of keeping their divisions together. When you watch WWE, how often do you only seem to care about who's in the main event?

TNA does a good job of making all divisions have a standout star. For the Knockouts it's Awesome Kong.

Although the division took a major hit with the departure of Gail Kim, Awesome Kong is working hard —and through an injury —to hold the division together.



1. Fresh Young Talent

The main thing TNA is doing to keep up with WWE is developing their young talent. Although they are bringing in the "old" guys, they have done a great job of harvesting the young ones.

The fact that they're not "pushing" the younger talent straight into main event matches is OK by me, as long as they're not getting buried.

How many times have we seen the WWE “push” the next big thing when the guy is too green? How often is he jammed so far down our throats that we can't help but to regurgitate and turn on him?

Time is on TNA's side. They have come a tremendous way in just six years. They will go even further in another six. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Eventually you will be more than willing to “Cross the Line."
