TNA wrestling is the closest thing that's available on Television now a days to the way it used to be, Family Entertainment with a mature theme. Not to be a reminiscent of old days, But Skills and real talents were and still today are what draws crowds in. The actual Wrestling is singly the most important thing in Pro wrestling.
WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler said recently that Wrestling isn't about wrestling anymore, But that is coming from someone who was hired for talking ability's and looks, like the majority of the WWE's lockeroom. The WWE has been on a collision course for decades now, Just waiting until their Product becomes completely Sports Entertainment, And that's not right, By anybodies standards.The Commentator for ITV's World of Sport Wrestling (aka Joint Promotions and All Star Wrestling) Kent Waltman, Said that If Pro Wrestling becomes all about Characters and Gimmicks, and no Inring Talents or skills, Its as good as finished.
Sadly the WWE has had many chances to make the change but they never did. Bret Hart aka "The Hitman", was a prime example during the 90's. He was never treated as the top dog, Even with perhaps the greatest wrestling ability in history He was still never as appreciated as much as Steve Austin or The Rock. Same goes with Eddie Guerrero, CM Punk, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho and even Shawn Michaels, They Never got the pushes that they deserved. Even now, the WWE have just ignored the talents of the former Claudio Castognoli, Now known as Cesaro, Daniel Bryan was treated badly until the crowds put the WWE in a position where they couldn't do anything but go along with it and put Bryan at the forefront.
Over in TNA Wrestling, They have given opportunity's to the wrestlers who have been overlooked and pushed aside, who turn out to become Global smash hits and prove all of those doubters wrong. Now as to why TNA Wrestling is the place to be, Its because NXT is just a place for more money to be built up whilst testing out bad ideas before they go on the Flagship programs. Even in NXT, The good talents are now being pushed back again for the returns of old stars looking for more attention and stealing the young guns opportunity's. Women who go to WWE are almost guaranteed to have zero talent, Looks of a glamour model and about as much knowledge of wrestling as a man living under a rock for all of his life, But TNA has a reputation for giving all of its talents opportunity's, Whether it be the Knockouts, X Division, Tag Team or the Men's Singles, They have all been given respect and equal treatment. TNA represents modern Professional Wrestling, With a nice twist of classic in there. WWE represents entertainment, Hollywood glitz and silly stories, No matter what damage it does to its stars who act these out.
The majority of the Fans of the Attitude Era are Entertainment fans, no matter what they say. The Attitude Era was just stories and adult entertainment.It crippled Pro Wrestling to a point where it has suffered ever since. The Wrestling in Pro wrestling vanished from the majority of the WWE at that time, and today most of the roster are awful wrestlers or brawlers.
