TNA is an indy comapny that just happens to have a camera....

I believe those are the words that CM Punk said a while back, at an attempt to try and diss TNA. But what if TNA could take those words as a piece of advice. I mean Independant wrestling is usually better than WWE. Why dont TNA get all these top indy guys and rub money on their face for them to show their talents on a bigger platform. Im not saying TNA should get rid of all their Kurt Angles or heavy guys. But try to get more guys like Austin Aries, AJ Styles, Zema Ion, CD, KaZ, K-King.

Like get guys like Low-Ki, Jack Evans, Pac, Kevin Steen. IF they can. I mean why do you have Jesse celeb guy, instead of el generico . im just trying to say TNA needs to showcase more of that indy stuff that WWE cant.

Agree?

I will never understand why Colt Cabana, Kevin Steen and El generico are not in the WWE or TNA, there aren't enough pure wrestling fans that would appreciate the kind of wrestling those guys produce anymore. A huge chunk of wrestling fans are more interested in the WWE's watered down style

[Cabers]

Yeah it would be cool to get them but most of the exciting indy guys actually left TNA i'm talking about the likes of Petey Williams, Amazing Red, Teddy Hart, The Young Bucks and i could go on.

I would have been upset if u didnt mention Jack Evans .. But what If ROH and TNA joined up ?

Because TNA has a shot at them and doesn't go after them.

KoW? WWE.
Brodiee Lee? WWE.
Tyler Black? Dean Ambrose? Pac? WWE.

Benjamin? Probably headed back to WWE.
El Generico? Reportedly on WWE's radar.
Del Rey? WWE Trainer

TNA seems to have no desire to pick up any top indy guy; that's why you see your Garrett Bischoff's, Wes Briscoe's, etc., etc.

That and a lot of the indy guys take time to build up with the casual audience. All of them don't have Aries' charisma.

I think they got Jesse as an attempt to bring in more viewers

The thing is- most of them Indy wrestlers are likely to sign for WWE.

On the surface, TNA looks pretty small-time. Always in the same arena, etc, etc.

Considering that they are one of two promotions with a national TV deal, not to mention pretty decent worldwide reach, TNA isn't doing that bad. The thing is that WWE is so, so, so far ahead of TNA in terms of everything that top Indy stars are going to obviously be there. Not to mention, TNA cannot promise the things that WWE can: bigger contract, merch sales, exposure.

If you were an Indy star, 99 times out of 100 you would go to WWE if given the chance. TNA will always be a second option. Look at their top stars now. Every single one of them have been spited by WWE. Every one of them.

Edit: Don't know about Roode or Storm.

[YOUcanCALLmeCRACK]

Second thought: TNA should let their talent compete everywhere else but the WWE. Have Generico be on TNA TV and ROH TV. The cross promotion will help both sides. Not to mention it will be a better sell to those top talents.

Agreed.

There was a time when TNA seemd to acknowledge this, and was all about showcasing indy talent. But after Hogan came along, they decided to become a piss poor, trailer trash version of 1999-2001 WCW.

Sad...but true.

Well TNA became a platform to the great Indy talent but they got into thinking that they need to be mainstream. I think their plateau in popularity is causing them to at least find a balance between the two. Their in-ring work as of late has been very, very good. It just gets lost many of times within stupid storyline and decisions.
