Via Grapple Kingdom
The linked is a blog by Stephen T. Stone from his excellent Grapple Kingdom blog about the difference in aura between the WWE and TNA. He posits that one of the reasons why TNA can be taxing to watch is a certain negativity that pervades the atmosphere. I agree with him. It's always, power struggles, divorce proceedings, sluts calling each other bitches and vice versa. It's just like watching the worst of human emotion all boil over in two hours of discomfort. Read the blog, because it really hammers home a trenchant point about TNA.
Remember you can contact TH and ask him questions about wrestling, life or anything else. Please refer to this post for contact information. He always takes questions!

ReplyDeletehe's right. the top three faces (anderson, sting, and rvd) heel on each other (and then stupidly agree that the real enemy is hogan and immortal).
ReplyDeleteThis, I think, is the real legacy of NWO-type and McMahon as evil boss uber-stories from the 90s. They, themselves, were full of goodness, but the place that they led to is a dark, dark place. The boss has to get that much more evil. The supergroup has to get that much more powerful. I suppose it was inevitable. Maybe that's why there is so much Chikara love right now? I mean their "heavy" angle involved Swiss bankers and amulet...
