The notion that you're not a true wrestling fan if you wished TNA out of business is BULLSHIT!!
"You wished TNA out of business? Then you're not a true wrestling fan!"....you see these kind of posts all the time in TNA forums made by obvious TNA fans, and it is complete Bullshit. This self-entitled sentimental garbage is basically being used by marks to cover-up the truth about TNA incompetence and their horribly run wrestling promotion. Actual truth is most fans who want TNA to be done with, do so because they want it to be put out of its misery so that the wrestling world can progress with something new in its place. But ofcourse when you try to explain that, these are the typical response you get from marks...
#1 - You're a WWE mark and want WWE to completely monopolize the business.
Reality Check: WWE ALREADY HOLDS THE BIGGEST MONOPOLY IN THE BUSINESS. TNA is extremely insignificant. TNA draws 300k for fucks sake! 300 fucking thousand! Repeat that number to yourselves again. Its not even 1% of the wrestling market. WWE already has what you fear would happen. TNA going out of business means shit to them. So why would any "WWE mark" even concern himself with TNA in the first place? He wouldn't.
#2 - Think about the Wrestlers!
We do. That's why we want them to move on, get better bigger opportunities, perform with passion and deliver great matches and promos. This is not possible in TNA anymore, because the promotion is dead in the water, its extremely dull, stale, stagnant with no hope or future. There's a reason you always hear about wrestler's half-assing and coasting it in TNA the most, of all promotions that exist. TNA is a poorly run, badly managed piss-hole and the wrestlers know it. As long as this excuse of a promotion exists, there will be no progress for anyone. Simple as that.
#3 - Think about the Crew, backstage workers etc..
Why should we? really? why is this even a issue in the wrestling world? I'm a wrestling fan and as for as I'm concerned the buck stops with the wrestlers. So why am I expected to worry about the janitor who cleans toilets or the camera guys or the production manager? People lose their jobs all the time in the real world. That's just how it is. So just because I refuse to concern myself with the jobs of crew members behind the scenes whom I don't even know, does that disqualify me from being a wrestling fan?
Point being, this whole notion of someone failing to be a true wrestling fan just for wishing pitiful TNA's existence to end, is highly flawed, stupid and needs to stop. TNA fans need to understand and realize that those who want TNA gone are not doing so because they are WWE marks, or that they hate TNA. Its because TNA being what is, is simply holding back our industry from progressing.
