Wrestlingul este un sport dur si nu un teatru .Nu imi pasa ce zic ceilalti eu ador wrestlingul si nu cred ca este un trucaj indiferent cine incearca sa ma convinga.Intr-adevar exista meciuri in care se stie castigatorul dinainte iar restul se face pt. show tocmai de aceea exista acele filmulete pe YouTube la care va uitati voi si spuneti ca e trucaj atunci cand unul dintre wrestleri se taie singuri sau stiu eu ce mai face.Dar asta nu inseamna ca pe asta se bazeaza wrestlingul. Nu exista decat 3-4 cazuri de meciuri ,,trucate,, pe an, iar in rest totul este real.

Wrestling-ul este un trucaj in sensul ca tot ce se intampla in ring este planificat si exersat de dinainte. Dificultatea si riscurile asociate show-ului sunt insa, cumulativ, atat de mari, incat efectul asupra corpului este de multe ori semnificativ si cat se poate de real, mai ales pe termen lung. Vei intelege in timp (desi poate ar trebui sa o faci deja, daca ai 21 de ani) ca show-ul poate fi gustat din plin si in conditiile in care stii ca e trucat. Ba poate chiar il vei aprecia mai mult, realizand cata pregatire si cat antrenament intra in realizarea fiecarui eveniment.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) is an American professional wrestling promotion founded by Jeff Jarrett and his father Jerry Jarrett in May 2002. The current majority share owner is Panda Energy International.[1] The company, which trades as TNA Entertainment, LLC, operates out of Nashville, Tennessee, with an office in Orlando, Florida.

TNA showcases Lucha Libre style Cruiserweight action under the X Division, while also concentrating on the heavyweight division, featuring heavyweights such as Samoa Joe, Booker T, Scott Steiner and Kurt Angle, primarily under a Sports Entertainment style. Shoot style matches are not unknown in TNA however, for example the Main Event of Lockdown 2008 between Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe was based in a Sixed-Sided-Steel Cage under a technical, Shoot wrestling style. Another example of a shoot-style match in TNA Wrestling was AJ Styles vs Scott Steiner in a shoot-style Collegiate Wrestling match on iMPACT!. A further example of a shoot-style match in TNA was Kurt Angle vs Tomko (who was cut on the eye during the match) in a Shoot Fighting/Mixed Martial Arts sparring match on iMPACT!; whether this match was legitimately Shoot or simply Shoot-style is unclear.

Upon its formation, TNA was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance, with the company known as NWA Total Nonstop Action. TNA was granted exclusive rights to both the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and the NWA World Tag Team Championship. TNA withdrew from the NWA in 2004, but was permitted to continue to use the championships until the NWA abrogated the agreement in May 2007.[2]

TNA is the first American promotion to use a hexagonal wrestling ring exclusively as opposed to the more conventional four-sided ring. The organization also employed the unconventional rule that a championship can change hands as the result of a disqualification or countout. This rule has since been slowly phased out. For shows taking place in the TNA Impact! Zone, two separate entrance ramps are used for heels and faces.

History

Formation of the Company

The concept of TNA Wrestling started on a fishing trip between Bob Ryder, Jeff Jarrett, and Jerry Jarrett, where they were contemplating their futures in the business of wrestling. World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) was the only wrestling product on television (following WWE's March 2001 purchase of World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy that same year), which Ryder felt led many stations to believe that wrestling was bad for business. Ryder suggested a company that does not need television, but rather just goes straight to pay-per-view.

Jeff Jarrett was the only one of the three who took the discussion seriously (the other two thought of it as "just fishing talk"), and began formulating the business plan in his head 24/7. His first goal was to get former World Championship Wrestling people, such as Jeremy Borash, into the project. In the DVD The History of TNA: Year 1, Borash described the early company as "a skeleton crew, and there wasn't any specific job titles. It was 'Who's gonna cover this? Who's gonna cover this? Who's gonna cover this,' and we all just kind of slid into our roles."

Jeff Jarrett argues in The History of TNA: Year 1 that the hardest part of formulating the company was finding financial backing. In his own words, "You're asking people to invest... um... not small change... a substantial investment into and idea... into a theory, versus something that's tangible, that's up and running. That's how the normal course of business goes. This was a completely different sell."

Almost just as difficult was selling the weekly pay-per-view concept to the pay-per-view companies. In his own words, "That was something that In Demand, DirecTV had never even considered, a weekly pay-per-view wrestling series for ten dollars every Wednesday night! That in and of itself was a gigantic mountain to overcome, selling it to the pay-per-view companies."

The Jarretts found the help they needed, however, and the company had its first show on June 19, 2002. This night, however, they needed help in a different manner, because in a dark match just before they went on the air, a 450 lb. wrestler named Cheex hit the ropes with so much force that one of them broke. The estimated repair time was 30-60 minutes, which they did not have because they were about to go live in a few minutes, whether the ring was ready or not. Backstage, the producers shuffled the schedule so that some non-wrestling segments went first to give the ring crew some more time, but they did not have many of them. Fortunately, the ring crew came up with a creative way to fix the rope, and everyone went live hoping for the best.

Weekly pay-per-view shows

The original TNA business model was different from that employed by WWE in several key ways. By not touring like other major federations have done, TNA was able to keep costs down. Until the introduction of the syndicated show, TNA Xplosion, in late 2002, TNA's weekly show was provided over pay-per-view to act as their main source of revenue, in place of monthly pay-per-view events used by other promotions.[3] These shows started on June 19, 2002 and were held mostly at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville to lower production costs.[4] Although the weekly TNA shows were priced at much less than the monthly WWE events, they achieved low buy rates[citation needed]. After 27 months, TNA felt that they had a fanbase that would support three-hour pay-per-views and ceased their weekly shows on September 8, 2004.[5] TNA held its first three-hour monthly pay-per-view, Victory Road, on November 7, 2004.

TNA Impact!

Main article: TNA Impact!

The Impact! Zone, where TNA currently holds most of its televised showsTNA began airing TNA Impact! (official typeset "TNA iMPACT!") on June 4, 2004 on Fox Sports Net and it soon replaced the weekly pay-per-views as their primary broadcast while the monthly events became the main source of revenue.[6] The contract was not renewed one year later with the show getting consistent low ratings. This left TNA with no television deal other than the monthly pay-per-views, so on July 1, 2005, TNA turned to broadcasting iMPACT! from their official website, while seeking a new television outlet.[7][8] TNA would finally secure a deal with Spike TV and air its first episode on October 1, 2005.[9] Since the move, Impact! achieved considerably higher ratings and was moved twice, now having a primetime slot on Thursdays. IMPACT! expanded to a two-hour format on October 4, 2007.[10]

In the UK, Impact is shown on Bravo on a Saturday nights at 9pm.

Expansion

Apart from their weekly shows, TNA started running house shows on March 17, 2006[11] and in October, TNA started holding some of their monthly pay-per-views outside of their central filming location. TNA has also expanded into other areas with the development of a video game with Midway Games, titled TNA Impact!, scheduled for release in 2008.[12] In April 2006, TNA announced a partnership with YouTube that would see TNA supply YouTube with exclusive video content in exchange for hosting, leading to the production of internet shows. In January 2007, TNA's mobile content deal with New Motion, Inc. led to the introduction of TNA Mobile and mobile fan voting.[13] TNA has also launched the TNA U program to help promote the brand and has started airing podcasts through YouTube which they call TNA U TV,[14] as well as the TNA Addicts Show, which consists of promotions for the upcoming Impact as well as Q&A sessions from the fans to the hosts.

In August 2007, live events coordinator Craig Jenkins stated that TNA intended to stage eight pay-per-views and 96 house shows outside Orlando, Florida in

ma bucur sa vad ca se mai uita lumea si la Tna ,nu doar la Wwe :D eu nu prea fac diferente,imi plac amandoua

ce mai atmosfera se face cand striga toata lumea TNA TNA TNA TNA!! :-

Bravo!Eu zic ca cel mai bun din TNA e AJ Styles acum nu stiu ce parere ai tu...

mie cel mai mult imi place de Christian Cage.Nu stiu daca e cel mai bun dar cu siguranta e printre cei mai buni.Si da,Aj Styles e f talentat,ceva in genul lui Jeff Hardy in wwe.Si sa nu uitam de Sting,o adevarata legenda.Iar ca echipa imi plac f mult cei de la Motor City Machine Guns,frumoase manevre mai au,parca se completeaza unul pe celalalt ;)

Undertaker?Sa se aplece?Nu prea cred......si in plus nici nu s-a retras.El a vrut o pauza (am citit pe un site american) ,iar chestia aia cu Edge si Vicky a fost doar pentru show.

Voi chiar va uitati la Tna !? Doamne poi aia nu e companie de wrestling.Companie de wrestling se numeste WWE care are lupatatori adevarati si stiu sa faca show.Multi dintre luptatorii actuali din Tna au fost in WWE si au fost concediati.Oare de ce?Nu va intrebati?WWE a dat acestei industrii nume mari precum Ric Flair,Hulk Hogan,The Rock,Stone Cold Steve Austin etc. plus luptatorii actuali care deja se pot numi legende dupa tot ce au facut pana acum (ex.Triple H,HBK,John Cena....)

Daca TNA ar fi o companie serioasa ar calatori in toata lumea asa cum face WWE dar ei saraci nu au decat 2-3 arene in care se duc in niste orase mici ,iar in arena aia nu incap decat cateva sute de oameni fata de zecile de mii care vin sa vada fiecare show saptamanal la WWE.

Voua poate va place TNA pt. stilul lor hardcore si sinucigas pe care il au mai ales la paw-per-view-uri dar asa ceva are si WWE in ECW insa de o mai buna calitate dar pacat ca nu se poate vedea si in Romania.
