Is TNA going in the wrong direction having Sharkboy spoof WWE and Stone Cold ?

As much as I hate the god awful WWE. I believe the are a sinking ship already. I don't think it's a good idead for TNA to remind wrestling fans how good the WWE use to be around the Stone Cold era. Also it makes TNA management look clueless concerning gimmicks and storylines. Besides Vince doesn't need a push in the other direction. I'm hoping some other promotion passes the WWE. Voodo Kin Mafia was horrible. Sharkboy and his ridiculous character as well as spoofing Stone Cold is just as bad. Agree?

    Everytime they do a parody they lose whatever respect they had. This type of booking is expected from small time indy promotions that work out of high school gyms or civic centers, not a national televised promotion.

    Sharkboy is basically a mid-card comedy jobber who is now involved in this Stone Cold angle.Obviously designed as a comedy element with a very obvious nod to Austin's persona.

    It's fun & interesting & to be that blatant a copy of another character,it's making fans think yep! that's unbelievable!

    The TNA stroyliners are obviously giving Sharky this gimmick to push his own character on the roster.And also as an ongoing parody of WWE.His coming out on crutches with bandages etc is a parody of all the WWE injuries lately.

    I actually think that they are going in the right direction....... look right now there is a lot of tension between WWE and TNA, TNA is like the next WCW so TNA is having Sharkboy act like Stone Cold to address WWE to show that TNA is not scared of them even though WWE has more fans.

    They are going in the wrong direction you do not mess with WWE cause last time WCW did a parody of the WWE, WCW was brought out the next 9 months

    I don't understand it.

    If the WWE barely gives attention to TNA's attacks on WWE, why even do them?

    If WWE remains untouched by TNA's unintelligent attacks, why do them?

    If all the attacks do is advertise WWE, what is the point of them?

    That's just me, though.

  • it is bWo bad, i fun but at same time remind you that TNA is too much ECW and too little old WCW (circa pre-nWo days) ROH is new wrestling company, and they will end up in Disney's hands and be aired on ESPN. while TNA will merge with the WWE, and end up united with the god awful new ECW brand. i'm not bashing the old ECW, but i'm comparing Sharkboy to the bWo in ECW.

  • yes i hate wwe but tna ain't gone begin wwe back that's like getting britney spears to watch her kids or stop drinking or to even wear pantys
