![]() Yeah, I have followed TNA from the very start, which is why I much prefer the Asylum days, to the current set-up. ![]() I still watch though.

I actually far prefer it to WWE now, I have just got so fed up with the same things, over, and over again over there, nothing changes, at least here, it is a bit less predictable, well that and it doesn't take as much space up on my Sky+ box due to it only being SD, rather than HD.

You like Abyss dont you, have to say I do like James Storm.
![]() I like AJ as well, (although why he has started to wear gloves I don't know), James Storm is good, as is his former tag partner. Basically, I am a fan of the orginals really.

I prefer the original set too, James Storm, Robert Roode, Abyss, AJ Styles, even Kurt Angle.
Such sad times in that division really. And don't get me started on this Gut Check thing, just the Job Sqaud re-invented really. |

Yes, I remember the great days, or the superb tag team matches, and the grudges involved in them, now, I mean you have about three teams, and that is about it, and even then a couple of them are just made up of random members of Aces and Eights.

It seemed a bit staged. Spud decking Marty, then sitting drinking all night while a cameraman films him. Then he pukes at the training session. Thought it was gonna be a proper reality show but it doesn't seem that way.

Thought TNA British Bootcamp was excellent, best thing TNA have produced in a long time, maybe ever.
It's a scripted reality show in the style of TOWIE; if you don't like that particular genre of tv, you probably won't like this show. Although the idea of a wrestling fan being turned off by a wrestling based reality show because the show is 'scripted' is hysterical in the inherent irony. |

It was alright. Not being a fan TOWIE, I don't really like the format. Since there's only 6 episodes, I'll probably stick with it.

Although the idea of a wrestling fan being turned off by a wrestling based reality show because the show is 'scripted' is hysterical in the inherent irony. I think the TOWIE links are purely in the format. Suffice to say, this isn't a bunch of talentless nobodies struggling to realistically play themselves. They're all playing up to their 'characters' - Spud inparticular of course. Ultimately, I still reckon they'll all end up in TNA. Whilst most reality show competitions are all about finding a winner, I honestly think that in this case that concept has been reversed. I'm convinced TNA have/had already signed all four wrestlers, and created this show as a means to put them over before their respective debuts, whilst also giving TNA some extra publicity in the UK. For one thing, the clearly kayfabe style of it makes it clear there's no actual competition going on here. Also, there's no viewer input in terms of who progresses. And with only FOUR competitors picking just one winner would seem a little redundant. Particularly when you consider that if all four were to join TNA, they'd be split across the mens and knockout divisions so it'll only be two extra competitors in each division. |

And also helps massively promote the tour coming this month. Would imagine they have got to tie it in to some degree over the next 4 weeks.

It was a fun watch. I enjoyed seeing Spud raise some heat. He's a very effective heel.
The Blossom twins need serious work on their mike skills. |

I resolutely refuse to believe that someone as big a prick as Marty plays a face in the British wrestling scene. Even the gimmick of 'Party Marty' just screams out annoying jock and would never take off in the States anyway.
Rockstar Spud has to win this thing. Natural and effective heel, but would like to see more of his ring skills. Blossom Twins are two of the fittest birds I've ever seen in wrestling but their mic skills were awful, so they'd never fit in TNA with a roster of talented women who are more than able to hold their own on the mic. |
