Hi guys,

I have two questions for you.

I'm done with WWE, I haven't watch a fill PPV or Episode in over 4 years. Its awful.

With that being said I want to see edgier storylines, something cut from the same cloth as the attitude Era or the ruthless agression era.

So, should I start watching TNA?

Also, Is there a place I can consistently watch ICW?

No you should definitely not watch TNA. If you want to see some amazing wrestling I suggest watching ROH. There's also a hardcore element to ROH but it doesn't even need it you can find weekly eps on Daily Motion I download most of there PPVs I don't know the story lines I can just jump in watch and always enjoy ROH whenever that includes the Tv ratings. ICW has its on On Demand Service its £3.99 a month in my opinion worth it every penny. You will get a new show pretty much every week if there on tour like 4 in a fortnight and stuff like that . They do not put on House Shows every show they try to give it there best. Each one Hillarious Comedy. Guaranteed to see a Chairshot to the head or someone go through a table. Some of the best characters in Wrestling in my opinion. Some may stand out to me more because I am Scottish though. Also in my own opinion they have 3 of the best young wrestlers in the world. Noam Dar, Lewis Girvan and Jack Gallacher. Throw in Mikey Whiplash I know he's not young but any combination of those 4 you are guaranteed some of thee finest wrestling matches anywhere on the planet. Give it a go for a month you will be surprised with the standard of wrestling and how much this Company makes you fall in love with Wrestling all over again I promise you.

NXT, ROH, NJPW, Lucha Underground, AAA, and Evolve. If you want crazy storylines, then watch LU. Season 2 will be starting soon and season 3 has been confirmed. The best wrestling out there is usually from ROH/NJPW cross promotion ppvs. They're should be at least 4 a year, from now on. AAA and Evolve are your classic mixed bag indys. You get a fair amount of garbage but there can be some very good wrestling too. I still think NXT is the best overall option though.

Why do you need these people to tell you to watch something or not? Here is some out the box thinking, why not tune into an episode of tna and if YOU enjoy it keep watching if not switch over to something else . I watch any wrestling that is on tv because I love it, some of it is shite, some of it is good but I couldn't give a toss what the sheep think .

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.

I watched a couple of bits on YouTube for TNA. Last time I saw it they had that awesome 5-sided ring. Shame that went it made it different.

May I ask what's wrong with their storylines? - I always remember it being quite out there and cool with groups like Team Canada, LAX, Beer Money Inc, the great stories between AJ and Jarett, etc.

I was really hoping Global Force Wrestling was going to produce a tv show made up of the best of the rest.

Jarrett is the sort of guy who could go to ROH, AAA, TNA, NJPW, ICW, Evolve, Lucha Underground, and anyone else producing TV and say he wants to make a weekly product showcasing the best of what you have. It'll promote your shows and make your stars more recognisable, then a few times a year we can pull everyone in for a mega show to rival Vince's big shows.

Essentially recreating an NWA, but in the internet age tis essentially an IWA.

I used to Love TNA when I wasn't anywhere near as in love with Wrestling as I am now even near the end I just felt my intelligence was being insulted and WWEs giving me the same feeling now. When I watched it James Storm was Feuding with Bobby Roode after the split of beer money. Bobby was a great heel but still a poor mans HHH. Then Bubba became one of the best heels I've ever seen. Aj Styles was like nothing I had ever saw before it was around the time when he left it stopped being watchable for me though. I hate it so much now 2 of my fave Wrestlers Drew and Grado couldn't even make me watch it. If I didn't know about The smaller company's like ROH, Lucha and ICW actually putting on great shows I would not be able to watch Wrestling anymore it would be dead to me as of last Monday. I'm not even watching this weeks Raw I refuse.

Most people are getting sick of the WWE. ROH and the rest do offer an alternative, but the WWE are by far and away the biggest dog in the yard. And this in itself creates a problem. There is no real competition and no real insentive for the WWE to pull their collective heads out of the sand and to be properly creative.
The Monday Night Wars were really the last time there was a competitive rival and the quality of the WWE improved dramatically from what it was before because it had to.
Until we get competition, Vince will continue to feed us the turgid gruel we are consuming now.
