I think if TNA could ever get a real shot, they may have a chance. Think about who they have, or may have in the very near future. Granted Jeff Jarrett to me is the Ric Flair of TNA (out of shape and needing to really retire) but with the Dudleys (excuse me 3-D), possibly Jericho (when he decides to come back), not to mention a handful of other strong stars. Even with Big Diesel finally hanging it up, WWE can not keep bringing back Hogan expecting that to take them over.

And heaven forbid if Sting ever does decide to come back, that right there would give TNA a big push

TNA on tv comes across as small time and a bunch of nobodies, even if they are talented wrestlers. Christian is much more likely to wind up at TNA than Jericho, and while I like him a lot he isn't a major acquisition for them.

When WCW overtook the WWF they did so with the strength of top WWF stars coming to WCW. They also had a few credible home grown stars (Sting comes to mind). TNA looks like the elephants burial ground of WWE castoffs. Christian or Jericho won't change that impression.

Basically TNA has a long road ahead - they can be a credible 2nd national promotion, but its a long way off. None of their home grown/local talent looks like a star and they have nobody to make them look like stars. The guy I like the most is Samoa Joe, but he looks like a guy working an independent show down at the local Knights of Columbus (even though he isn't).

I like size of the wrestlers in TNA better than the roided to the max ones in the WWE. But TNA is a bit too Lucha for my taste and that ring has to go. As for Eddie, he was one of my all time favorites. He really knew how to work a match and draw heat. I just wish he and others didn't have to put on all that weight just to make it big in the USA.
