Huh, Your post has me lost?

I'm assuming your meaning that tna allows cursing?

 

[Havokk]

Not really I just do not understand why they like think just because they use swear words that like kids in grade 6 would use they think that is like cutting edge

 

[PauseMenuNotWanted]

Because TNA isn't PG.

 

[scrilla]

oh i thought you were talking about Tna General :lmao

 

[Havokk]

by saying things like ass and freakin in 2011 it might as well be rated G

 

[MB.]

They dont. Swearing in society is proven to show anger or super aggression or pissed off. Spike TV lets them swear so they use it in there promo's. Lets be honest TNA is doing nothing Cutting Edge, but the demographic of Spike TV is 18-35 males thus swearing is only shown as aggression or anger.

Yeah well, who thinks its cool to be a mid 30 pushing 40 year old who uses little kid swear words and wears a baseball cap thats really cool :s

 

[The Mercenary]

Yeah well, who thinks its cool to be a mid 30 pushing 40 year old who uses little kid swear words and wears a baseball cap thats really cool :s

um...Everybody?

 

[MB.]

Since when is there little kid swear words?

 

[faceface]

Going too far? No. Making themselves look ridiculous? Yeah, kinda. I've noticed over the past few weeks that the amount of swearing has increased. I don't mind swearing - who does these days? - but I do find it disappointing that these performers apparently believe they can't achieve the same results without it. I think the sheer amount of it is, at this point, a little juvenile.

Profanity is best used to provide shock value, as ridiculous as that sounds in this day and age. When the Rock said "ass" for the first time on WWE TV in quite some time, it had more impact than a big chunk of the TNA roster using the word "fuck" on a weekly basis. There's no way it should be that way. TNA need to tone it down for it to mean something. If they don't, what's the point?

Mike Tenay: "Oh well this is bullshit!!!!"

 

[Tna General]

[miles berg]

Yeah well, who thinks its cool to be a mid 30 pushing 40 year old who uses little kid swear words and wears a baseball cap thats really cool :s

I completely agree with this, TNA overuse (or did when I was still watching) violence and profanity making it meaningless. However, WWE make mistakes of their own, the way they write promos demands a certain amount of profanity which they're unable to deliver; what both companies should do is change the style of writing to make it un-necassary. Watch this video to see waht I mean:

Jake doesn't use any profanity in this segment, his language is entirely clean and would technically be allowable in today's WWE; what would stop it from being used is that subject matter. If Jake had sworn it would actually have had less impact in my opinion, what makes it work is the malice in his eyes and his words.

 

[Jon Staley]

Anderson's use of 'fricken' is annoying as hell, but otherwise TNA have it right on and it adds to the product.

 

[reDREDD]

Swearing makes you kewl.

Like Anderson and his use of the word Asshole.

 

[ShiftyLWO]

and why exactly does swearing on TNA bother you enough that you have to make a thread about it? it's not even overly done.
are mommy and daddy mad?

 

[M.S.I.I.]

You're offended by curse words on a wrestling show?
