Kevin Nash said:"When wcw took over the WWE for the short time we did, it's bc Ted Turner paid HUGE $ for talent. Wanna put tna on the map, Mrs. Carter? Set aside $50m. Start with Cena and work backwards. Don't walk into a Mercedes showroom and ask what new AMG S-63 I can buy for $25K."
Only problem is Spike TV wants the bigger name stars; The return of the MEM was spike TV's not TNA's.TNA should focus on building up their own Superstars! And focus on good wrestling. This is the only - and by the way cheaper - way for Dixie.
This. If Spike really wanted to help TNA get good ratings, they would put more money into adverstising the damn show and not pissing it away on contracts for guys like HoganOnly problem is Spike TV wants the bigger name stars; The return of the MEM was spike TV's not TNA's.
Secondly, Spike TV doesn't really care about quality wrestling; they're more interested in Sports Entertainment.
It's all about ratings and that's what Spike TV thinks will draw.
There's a reason Spike TV paid a portion of Sting's, Angle's, and Foley's contracts because Spike TV wanted them.
Of course Spike TV want ratings and in order to do that you do need big stars to initially draw them in but just look at how TNA have booked those bigger stars, it is just as much TNA'a fault for where they are as it is Spike TV's for wanting those bigger stars in the company to begin with. At least Spike TV are paying a large percentage of the salaries in order to have the bigger names and yes they were the one's who originally wanted to bring back The Main Event Mafia but Spike TV were not the one's who were meant to be signing Sting, Kevin Nash and Booker T before pushing the storyline through which then went wrong and saw the storyline rewritten in a rush.Only problem is Spike TV wants the bigger name stars; The return of the MEM was spike TV's not TNA's.

This is what i have said since it was announced that Paul Heyman wouldn't be joining TNA because Dixie Carter didn't want to wait five years and use a long term plan and wouldn't give Paul Heyman the power to hire and fire as Paul Heyman could see that TNA wasn't in a position to go head to head with WWE anytime soon despite what Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff tried to convince us all. Where Paul Heyman has always been able to adapt with the way the wrestling industry changes people like Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo have not which is why with them running TNA alongside someone who has no idea at all about running a wrestling company like Dixie Carter i'm afraid that TNA is never going to move forward and won't ever even be as big as ECW let alone WWE or WCW.If TNA would make that amount of investment, then it would be better to listen to Heyman's long term plan.
Youve severely misunderstood what Nash said hereObviously Kevin Nash really is an idiot...
Over the last few years TNA wasted the big bucks on worn-out talent like Nash. They didn't deliver. No performance. No prestige. No growth. And CERTAINLY no money.
If this weak promotion called TNA proves one thing, then it's that you can't build a company solely on big names, anymore. If Kevin Nash would be a smart man, he would conclude: "Save the money for your strategy" instead of "Just flush more money down the toilet".
then tna has no purpose, the more that wwe and tna founder the more their future gets bleakHe's right but he's acting like it's some kind of competition between the 2 companies to be #1. Does he not realise TNA are happy just existing in a mainstream market?
How is any of that relevant to what he said?...Mr. Anderson should sue the guy for gimmick infringement because Nash is such an a-hole. Few people could name 3 matches he has had in the past decade that are actually entertaining and rewatchable, but he still acts like he is God, all because he lasted a minute in a 40 man Royal Rumble.
