Nevertheless, star power is important for a promotion in desperate need of some recognition. To compound the problem, TNA pushes these former WWE superstars as opposed to TNA originals such as Samoa Joe and AJ Styles.įor everyone's sake, let us not mention Jeff Hardy. TNA has been much-maligned for signing former WWE stars such as Matt Hardy, Mr. However, instead of hogging the spotlight they should share it with the up-and-coming stars who built TNA. Hogan and Flair are certainly assets to the company, as they give TNA star power and recognition. Oh okay some of the senior citizens can still wrestle.īut TNA needs to shift its focus from washed up has-been legends like Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair to present stars like AJ Styles and Mr. Don't forget to throw in Bully Ray as he is a tremendous heel. On second thought, Jarrett and Steiner have a few more years left. I did not mention Kurt Angle and Rob Van Dam (both over 40) because they are absolutely awesome in the ring and should not retire anytime soon. Other veteran performers include Scott Steiner (48), Sting (just turned 52 on March 20), Jeff Jarrett (43), Bully Ray (39), Tommy Dreamer (40), and Mick Foley (45). Ric Flair is at a youthful 62 years of age and has only lost 95 percent of his mind since he joined Immortal. Hulk Hogan is at a robust 57 years of age and only appears once every two segments on Impact. Judging from a detached point of view, it appears it is not a personal hatred of TNA, but a professional dislike of the product.Ĭonspiracy theories aside, I will address the possible reasons why TNHs run their mouth about why they hate on TNA.ġ) Too many old wrestlers hogging up the spotlight.

TNHs have crossed that line with their constant criticism of the product while overlooking the flaws of rival promotion World Wrestling Entertainment.

To a lesser extent Jeff Jarrett can be thrown into this discussion.īut there is a line between dislike and hate.

Similarities such as older wrestlers occupying the spotlight, storylines with illogical endings, and controversial endings have been associated with TNA and WCW.įurther justifying these similarities are men who are involved extensively in both promotions: Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo. Their chief problem with TNA is it's a 'ripoff' of WCW during its dying days. TNHs are often right in their assessment of the current state of things in TNA. I have coined a term for TNA haters, Total Nonstop Haters, or TNHs for short.
