TNA was once of Spike TV and had Hulk Hogan, AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy (six months from being the biggest babyface in wrestling), RVD, Sting, Ric Flair, Samoa Joe, Nigel McGuinness etc. Someone get me a spade, if they go up against AEW with Dolph Ziggler and Tommy Dreamer rolling into town.
TNA possibly moving to Wednesday night to compete AEW Dynamite is WWE attempt to create a competitor that they can control with the pretense of TNA being an "independent company." "Well if you don't want to work for us, go to TNA," WWE management would say, but TNA is already close to WWE anyway.
Tony Khan walking into the locker-room on the first AEW vs TNA Wednesday Night War and just going "Lads, it's TNA."
Guaranteed you'll see people from the fed main roster pop up if they go head to head... 😤
They'd have to. That TNA roster wont cut it.
I'm sure it's part of the plan... Every time NXT goes head to head, they have Cody or THE UNDERTAKER (laughable) show up there... They're not exactly subtle people..
Joe Hendry, Nic Nemeth, Moose, Leon Slater, Masha, Matt Cardona, The Hardys, Joe Something, Octagon Jr, Eric Young, Elijah... And many more. Their current roster is better than you're giving them credit for.
Impact going up against Dynamite will prove to be worse than going up against RAW - even with WWE's influence. You could make an argument for going against RAW as a good idea, as short-sighted as it was. You can't pad TNA out with WWE wrestlers every week.
