I think Paul is FULL OF SHIT regarding TNA. So guys have come in and bitched and poked fun of WWE. Uhhhhhh... Isn't that EXACTLY what guys would do in ECW? And they haven't made stars? AJ Styles. AMW. Samoa Joe. I respect Paul, but he's way off base here.



Nope, you got it wrong!
The guys Paul is talking about is people who were pushed by WWE, yet failed to get over, then go to TNA and bitch & moan about it!
ECW didnt have that many ex-WWF wrestlers on their roster. (WCW yes)
As has been said before, Vince had a hand in helping out ECW, so any anti-WWF propaganda was pretty much for show.

As for TNA making stars, once again, I have to agree with Paul!
Guys like Samoa Joe & AJ Styles are still very low on the radar as far as star status goes.
Those guys are still merely big indy wrestlers, and promotions like ROH are just as responsible for taking them to the level they are now!

At this moment in time TNA is relying heavily on people who were big names in WWE, WCW & ECW to get its name out there.
Why do you think that Samoa Joe & AJ Styles are not more heavily involved in the heavyweight division?

If TNA was really about making stars, then it wouldnt just be a bunch of ex-WWE/WCW fighting for the belt all the time!

Off the top of my head, Styles is the only guy to have held the belt who has never worked for one of the big two!
