The Demise of TNA

20131011-182455.jpg

As some of you may or may not know I’m not a fan of TNA and according to this photo neither are a lot of people. This week TNA was held in Tulsa OK. As you can see more then half the arena is empty. It was even noted on wrestlinginc.com that fans were asked to move seats so the arena would appear to be full when seen on tv. If you ask me I think Dixie Carter should just hang it up already. Some of you may see that as bias coming from a WWE girl but if you think about it, it really wouldn’t even really hurt any one. I mean hogan quit and for some people he was the biggest drawl. Not only they but the knockouts division only consist of 5 girls. You can only see the same match so many times. On top of all that the employees arnt even getting decent pay. Anybody remember knockout Dafny? Did you know that TNA wouldn’t even at least help pay for her medical bills?? Medical bills that were due to wrestling related injuries. I mean if that doesn’t tell you TNA is bad off I don’t know what will. Lets be honest here WWE is the flagship company when it comes to professional wrestling, and no matter how hard TNA tries they will never be completion for the global phenomenon known as the WWE. Do you agree or disagree?? Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Catch you guys on the flip side. Have a beautiful weekend
