Pretty much this. I also like the idea someone on here to get rid of the hard cam and instead do what NXT did for it's first season.It's different, and for TNA, different is good. If people want the standard plug and play camera work, they will always choose WWE. TNA has to be different, and I find it refreshing.
I'm afraid I don't see the correlation here. Please elaborate.I dont like the reality aspect at all either, especially when they show Storm at home walking a horse with his daughter
Yeh this isn't the kind of thing i meant. Stuff like that in wrestling is fine by me, it's been around for years and is a big part of getting into the whole storyline for the characters.I dont like the reality aspect at all either, especially when they show Storm at home walking a horse with his daughter etc etc

I'm talking about the segments, that sound and are filmed just like reality tv is these days.
No it's the segments like the week before last, when Hogan opened the show in the office, deciding who to choose for the match. Eliminating each wrestler one by one, Jeff and Bully etc. The reality tv music was playing, the way he was mulling it over, and then elminating each one - was just like a reality tv show.You mean when they are talking to no one in particular? Not looking at the camera but talking to someone you can't see?
I really liked the Storm video about him at his ranch. It's still building Storm up as a huge common man babyface. It's showing that he's no different from the audience, he's not on a higher level than them, he's just a family man, likes the simpler things in life and was torn between family and wrestling. It's not a bad thing if reality TV makes it seem more real.Showing Storm at home with his family is just like any other reality show. Hulk Hogan had a reality show with cameras following him around. To me it was boring. It's also boring watching the camera follow Storm around his home talking about wrestling and what life means to him. To me almost all reality shows are boring. But if they wanted to do a separate reality show for an hour each week a lot of fans would probably watch. They could spend an hour following Storm around, the following week maybe Angle or Gail Kim, a different wrestler each week. Keeping up with TNA or some other title would do. I might watch part of a reality show like that, mainly with the knockouts.

Also the gutcheck segments on the live show. The backroom with Pritchard, Al snow and Tazz talking it over, whilst the music played in the background. That's what i mean by these last couple weeks having elements of modern day USA reality Tv mixed in.
