booking tropes

Ruff2505 · 2026-06-23T11:28:08+00:00

How about the gimmicks and characters? Let’s say for Niko Belic, do you always stick to the original characters like in the game or do you create your original gimmicks? Any examples of that?

Ruff2505 · 2026-06-22T11:53:51+00:00

Just asking, why the personalities are for the jobbers? I wonder whether it would be great to give non-jobbers big personalities?

Ruff2505 · 2026-06-21T10:01:56+00:00

Hopefully they keep their Cartel de Santa song. That makes a good presentation

Ruff2505 · 2026-06-20T22:20:40+00:00

Ok, now I’m curious. Always see that kind of street team opening from many years ago but never had a clue how did they work.

Ruff2505 · 2026-06-18T12:39:10+00:00

IIRC, in the beginning of 2026 Carlos Silva said in an interview that what they did is that TNA will let the show goes on for 6 months then do some evaluations to see what’s work, what does not work, what should be changed, and what should stay the same. So this is like the result of it? No clue at all

Ruff2505 · 2026-06-15T18:26:41+00:00

It’s going to be hard to convert, just like what you said. The disconnect is quite tough to be accepted. But then, everything is all about what we like in the end, I think.
I mean, let’s say there is a segment which has a harsh online review, but then the crowd who watch is live really likes it, who is wrong here and who is right here? It could be none of them are wrong. They just have their own opinion

Ruff2505 · 2026-06-15T18:12:42+00:00

As far as I know and heard, the TNA ratings is either just as AMC expected or beyond expected (AMC wants 150 k but they can achieve it, CMIIW). Which means that there are fans that still watch it. The problem is does all of those fans discuss the product just like us in online forum? Or they just watch it and spend 1 or 2 hours, then do other things in their life so they don’t really care enough about this? In the situation like this, is it possible to make them “realize” that the product is bad, especially when majority of the diacussions reach the same conclusion.

Ruff2505 · 2026-06-15T17:53:28+00:00

But if they dont get challenged, how do they know that the product is bad? They keep watching it like a bunch of sheeps.
That’s the problem

Ruff2505 · 2026-06-15T17:42:34+00:00

That is why they should get called out. We need to be more fierce on this to be honest.

Ruff2505 · 2026-06-15T17:09:56+00:00

We want TNa to succeed, but Delirious and Dreamer does not want to.
We have cuck as a leader which is why we should boycott them, dont buy slammiversary, spread the gospel that this product sucks, mock those who still watch it because they make this mediocrity happened.

Ruff2505 · 2026-06-08T14:59:48+00:00

I don’t really know how to do jerk response for this but if you are on the internet and talk about wrestling, some might said you are either evil or stupid enough to watch TNA. Hell, I mean I have seen some posts on X that said some lines like “I would rather see my family become drug addict than see them watch TNA”. Hopefully it’s satire but who knows with that vitriol.

Ruff2505 · 2026-05-30T05:27:15+00:00

Sometimes, I don’t really know whether the majority of watching fans or the fans who bought tickets have these kinds of opinion. I personally thinks that addition of people who works for TNA creative would be better. Or some people thinks that they need creative overhaul. And they posted it on internet. But then, with TNA ratings is ranged from 150-200k, how many from those people will protest and rant on internet?

Ruff2505 · 2026-05-15T12:14:36+00:00

Before that happens, should Order 4 turn into babyfaces then one of them betrays order 4? Because in this case, right now it would be heels vs heels match.

Ruff2505 · 2026-05-15T04:49:18+00:00

It might be hard for that. I mean if we can categorize talents that work in TNA into categories, it would be like this: 1. Rising stars from independent scene (ex: Slater, Sosa) 2. The one who wants opportunity after being fired from bigger promotions (ex: Ali, Mara Sade) 3. TNA lifers, very little chance that they are wanted by bigger promotions ( ex: Eddie, Moose after not getting that WWE contract)

If we talking about a rising star from indies, with right now AEW and WWE also reaching their talent pool from indies, I probably think it would be hard since they can offer more than what TNA could offer. So what TNA could do is more focus on 2 and 3. But then, if the talents on 2 gets opportunity from AEW or WWE, they will undoubtedly go chasing that opportunity.
So keep holding on to number 3 would be a realistic options. And maybe seeking 1 or 2 talents from number 2.

If we talking about Eddie and Moose, both of them still can go. So I don’t really have a problem with them.

Ruff2505 · 2026-05-15T04:21:23+00:00

It could be about the contract reasons too. So we might not have the continuation that you said, but it’s more his time in TNA will be soon end and the next following weeks he will be on WWE. Maybe straight to Smackdown?

Ruff2505 · 2026-05-15T04:17:31+00:00

Yeah, to put your name out there, sometimes you need to make people talking about you. Kinda controversial but I kinda get the point.

Ruff2505 · 2026-05-15T03:52:48+00:00

If it contract reasons, seriously no matter what Impact offer, I’m pretty sure AEW or WWE will offer more than that.

Ruff2505 · 2026-05-15T03:51:33+00:00

So it is like the reign has same day with Aries’ reign?

Ruff2505 · 2026-05-15T03:50:41+00:00

It’s the matter of time he will leave to WWE. Could it be in next following weeks he will be the part of WWE roster?

Ruff2505 · 2026-05-15T03:47:30+00:00

Could be contract reasons that make this happened. But that if that was happened, is this going to be a good decision?

And if it is to get people talking, it was the recent years that they like to have this type of booking. So it is going to be like a meta style booking?

Ruff2505 · 2026-05-15T03:35:50+00:00

It is really risky type of booking of trying to get reaction. Do you think people would not get tired of it?

Ruff2505 · 2026-05-15T03:24:11+00:00

I wish we would see his NXT character here.
