There's no need for a "recent happenings" section. It's almost guaranteed to be out of date most of the time. This is an encyclopedia, not a news site. Listing the current titleholders is enough. - Gwalla 03:20, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Could somebody who knows more about TNA wrestlers contribute some bios for them? There are a lot of red links in the Current Titleholders. — Gwalla | Talk 20:56, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Move

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. Posted for discussion. No opposition given. Dragons flight 22:07, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Possible WikiProject

Currently there is a project for professional wrestling. Other subjects have sub-subjects and further. I suggest that we create a new Wikiproject: Wikipedia:WikiProject TNA.

WP TNA would be dedicated to cleaning up and organizing the pages regarding TNA Wrestling as an organization, the TNA title belt pages, and the pages of many of the wrestlers (for example, AMW's wiki has little more than the fact that they are in TNA). It would also provide more detailed summaries for the monthly pay-per-views. --Kitch 18:06, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Thats a great idea. I would be willing to help.--Racer38 11:30, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Done.I created it.lol. 18:52, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Not a member of the NWA

TNA was never a member of the NWA. it only acquired the rights to the titles. so it never withdrew from the NWA. cause it was never in the NWA.

  • BZZZZZZT!!!! Wrong answer! Game over! Thank you for playing. Until early 2004, they were known as "NWA: Total Nonstop Action". In fact, for some reason, the official National Wrestling Alliance website [1] still links to the old NWA: TNA domain, www.nwatna.com, even though it goes to a squatter site now. --Kitch 12:55, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
Kitch is right. The NWA President at the time even made an appearance on the third pay-per-view. McPhail 15:01, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Good news involving images

The entire TNA picture archive on TNApics.com has been made available officially for use in Wikipedia. I got the word personally from Marcus Cygy, the man who runs the site. I have been uploading these pictures previously on Fair Use rationale, but now that we have express permission, I have created a new Template for all TNA photos from the TNApics website, "TNA-photo".

{{TNA-photo}}

Lets get these articles illustrated! --Kitch 12:15, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I noticed that you recently created a TNA photo template. The template says that express permission is given to use these photos on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, this license seems to fall under Template:copyrighted which is no longer accepted for images. These images may fall under fair use using the promotional photo tag, so the template could be changed to a fair use one like Template:DisneyAttractionPoster or Template:TIME. --Jtalledo (talk) 13:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
I modified the photo tag. Tell me what you think of it. --Kitch 18:41, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Whoa... great job! Thanks. --Jtalledo (talk) 18:45, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Can anyone find a picture of the iMPACT! Zone to add to TNA iMPACT! Zone, one had been on there previously but removed Aceboy 06:36, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Chris Candido Memorial Tournament

The article for TNA notes that Shelley and Waltman won the tournament itself, but fails to note that Waltman never showed up to claim his prize - a shot at the world tag team champions The Naturals. Should this be updated? BronzeWarrior 08:52, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

I went ahead and added this information; hopefully no one objects. BronzeWarrior 10:38, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Disputed section

"The promotion is regarded as the closest, but still distant competitor to World Wrestling Entertainment. Despite this, some wrestling fans prefer TNA over WWE, citing TNA's focus on wrestling over storylines."

This section is npov and an example of weasel words. "Some wrestling fans" is not an acceptable phrasing. In addition, saying that TNA has a "focus on wrestling over storylines" is also subjective. McPhail 22:07, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Legit section. McPhail is a n00b.
The section is not legitimate. "The promotion is regarded as the closest, but still distant competitor to World Wrestling Entertainment". Regarded by who? How do you know what people regard the promotion was? Secondly, "citing TNA's focus on wrestling over storylines." How do you know why "they" prefer TNA to WWE? Moreover, this seem as clumsy attempt to paint TNA as a "wrestling company" and WWE as a "storyline company". I very much doubt that WWE would embrace this label, or has ever openly claimed to focus on storylines over wrestling. For this paragraph to stand as it is at present then you'd need to cite sources showing (a) that wrestling fans regard TNA as the closest competitor to WWE, (b) that they prefer TNA for the reasons stated and (c) that WWE is more storyline based than TNA. McPhail 09:14, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Actually, I added the section to the lead. The blurb was originally added to the History section by Eclipse McMahon, but after I deleted it Eclipse McMahon reverted it citing "vandalism." After a subsequent discussion on Eclipse McMahon's talk page, Eclipse McMahon added a section which was clearly POV and also uncited, so to end the edit war I rewrote it and added it to the lead. I tried to sound as neutral as possible while trying to state facts, but I guess it still didn't come across as neutral. --Jtalledo (talk) 19:29, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

The owners of TNA Wrestling....

From what I've read, Panda Energy International & Jeff Jarrett own TNA. Jeff's father, Jerry, sold his ownership to Panda Energy, but Jeff hasn't. Also, I read somewhere that Dixie Carter, the President of TNA Entertainment LLC, has admitted that she ISN'T the owner of TNA Wrestling. So, that's why I made the changes in that small box below the TNA logo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.68.235 (talk • contribs) 16:50, 8 December 2005

Yep, supposedly she said that on an Internet radio show called "Monday Night Mayhem." Archives are supposedly available at Audiowrestling.com. It would be great if someone could listen to the show and make an appropriate citation. --Jtalledo (talk) 21:48, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, I listened to the show and at one point, she says "I'm the President of the company, not the owner".
According to Steve Gerweck's site, Panda Energy (via Bob and Janice Carter) own the controlling stake in TNA Wrestling. Dixie has no ownership (perhaps she will through inheritance), but is only the President right now. Jeff Jarrett still owns his minority stake in the company. Clint 07:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Title Changes, DQ, and Count Out

I have never seen a champion in TNA who has ever lost a title in TNA because count out or DQ. In fact, all of the matches that I have seen that have wrestlers going in-and- out of the ring for long periods of time or using weapons such as chairs, trash cans, tables, ect. have never ended in a DQ or count out, therefore I think we should remove that portion of the article from the top. -anonymous

D'Lo Brown and Apolo won the tag titles via DQ in April 2004 [2]. The rule is admittedly inconsistently applied, but the same is true of the WWE "30 day rule", etc. McPhail 18:44, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Kid Kash and Lance Hoyt won the titles back by DQ as well... Clint 15:28, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

It is known that the referees in TNA Wrestling are much more lenient than WWE referees as they allow more things. It takes something very illegal to end a match. Another well known idea in TNA Wrestling is that should a wrestler interfere in a match, the match will be a No Contest not a DQ finish.

TNA Specialty Matches

Would it be alright to add a TNA Specialty Match Section on the Main Wikipedia TNA Page. Ring of Honor has one and I think TNA should as well. They could add sections on Ultimate X, Six Sides of Steel, King of the Mountain, Barbed Wire Massacre, House of Fun etc. In each section they could describe the match, the history of the match and Wrestler's win/loss records in these matches which should include photos.

Just had to get that idea off of my mind.

There is already a Category. 88.107.200.124 19:51, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I think that a sections should be added to Wikipedia in one page so someone doesn't have to go through all of these links to get it

Fan Chants

On the ECW page, they have a section for fan chants. I had an idea to create something like that on the TNA page. Would anyone else be against this idea? Would anyone be for this idea? Either way I would like to know.

Concerning the company infobox...

How will we know who owns the company? I mean, we know that Panda Energy International owns 71%, while Jeff Jarrett owns 29%, but no one figures to put THAT info in the infobox.

Do you have a source for those figures? I'm no longer certain that there are only two shareholders; Jerry Jarrett seems to have retained some sort of interest. McPhail 16:08, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, just check the page for Panda Energy International and you'll see the figures there.
Other Wikipedia articles are not suitable sources, per Wikipedia:Citing sources. McPhail 23:16, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

TNA Video Game

I am a big supported of Nintendo and plan to get the Wii on the day it comes out, but I have seen no referances to the TNA video game coming out on Wii. Whoever put that part in should provide some evidence of that. TJ Spyke 22:35, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Please consult the link to IGN.com in the relevant article. McPhail 00:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

TNA Wrestling Ownership...

Shouldn't Panda Energy International and Jeff Jarrett be listed as the owners, since that's who owns TNA? As far as I know, Panda Energy International (via Robert & Janice Carter) is the majority (71%) owner of TNA, while Double J is the minority (29%) owner. I mean, PEI and JJ are the key people in TNA.

Panda Energy are shareholders; to the best if my knowledge, they have little to do with the day to day operation of TNA. I'm not entirely sure that the above percentages are spot on, as I think Jerry Jarrett might still have some shares as well. McPhail 18:45, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Dixie Carter is the only one from Panda Energy actually involved with TNA. She is their representative so to speak. As for Jerry Jarrett, I'm under the impression that he is no longer part owner. --JFred 19:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Jeff Jarrett

A question about this "Jeff Jarrett ... was unable to find work with the McMahons (allegedly because he blackmailed Vince McMahon for a large sum of money to wrestle a single match after his contract expired while he held the WWF Intercontinental Championship in 1999). [1]"

From what I have read he didn't blackmail the McMahons, he simply got the money that was owed to him (PPV, merchandise, etc) paid up front rather than waiting the months it usually takes, so I would hardly call this blackmail. This is reported on PWInsider.com www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.asp?id=7575&p=1. What is everyone's opinion on this, is this still blackmail? Aceboy 06:07, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Chyna claimed in her book that Jarrett blackmailed McMahon, which is about as close to an official source as we're likely to get. McPhail 16:45, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

There have been other sources as well that claim that Jarrett demanded extra money to drop the title at No Mercy. TJ Spyke 23:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Jeff Jarrett would not have minded dropping the title to a guy who was qualified, most reports indicate that he did not want to drop the title to a girl, so he high balled the WWE. WWE could not have another incident like the Alundra Blayze/WWE Womens Championship/WCW again, so they accepted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.170.20.87 (talk • contribs)

I don't think it had anything to do with Chyna being a girl. Jarrett had no intention of signing with WWF again(hence the reason he didn't sign a new contract) and he knew Vince would not want him to take the title to WCW, that's why he blackmailed Vince and why Vince never employed him again(and Jarrett had to start his own promotion after WCW and WWA folded). TJ Spyke 19:50, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

TNA Xplosiom

There seems to be no mention of TNA Xplosion on this page, which was their first TV show. Does somebody know the history of the show, I am pretty sure it was used to sell the early weekly PPVs, so we can mention this important part of the company Aceboy 06:13, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

There's not much to mention since it is only a syndicated show(which from what i've heard is only available in Florida and maybe a few other areas). TJ Spyke 23:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

TNA Xplosion appears on The Wrestling Channel, so is broadbast in the UK and Ireland as well. Should also be noted that the international versions of iMPACT! are sometimes edited to contain Xplosion matches. I think Xplosion needs a mention. White43 16:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Proper Grammar

I think there should always be a dash (-) in anything involving an "X" in TNA Wrestling. I typed the reasons why in the TNA X Cup discussion page and I don't want to type it all again. Please just click on the TNA X Cup link and go to the discussion page to see why I think there should be a dash. Hopefully it won't all be deleted by somebody. I think you'll agree with me in my reasons.

iMPACT!

Hm... there seems to be a little too much detail on the TNA iMPACT! program in the business model section - it should be trimmed down since detailed info is in the article about the program. --Jtalledo (talk) 00:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

See Also

I added TNA iMPACT to the see also section since that is their flagship show. JAY HARPER 03:20, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

X Division Champion

Changed the current X Division champion from A.J. Styles back to Chris Sabin.

Wiki isn't a spoiler zone, and since the title change hasn't aired yet, it shouldn't be on the site.

Fight for the Right?

When the Fight for the Right Tournament is over, I think we should add it to the Tourney section. I feel that it's still too early as it just started.--Gruntyking117 19:27, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

TNA vs. WWE paragraph

I deleted that paragraph, as it was very poorly worded, and consisted mostly of speculation. Mr. Papaya 17:58, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

We should add a bit about how VKG is declaring war on DX and Vince Macmahon. Crazy Chainsaw

Why? It's just part of the characters gimmicks. We don't mention on the WWE page when DX "invade" WCW. TJ Spyke 03:18, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

It's V.K.M Dr. R.K.Z.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. R.K.Z (talk • contribs) 07:29, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I've decided to add these paragraphs (The Connecticut Incident) as I think they are very important as this has occurred to do with TNA in general. If you can add anything else, please do. 86.20.53.195 16:30, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

WWE's involvement is but a rumour, therefore, being of little importance. --Aaru Bui DII 16:21, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

The Connecticut incident, however HAS happened and shouldn't of been removed. I've put it back in, only removed unnecessary bits of the article, or add necessary info. Do not remove all of the three paragraphs. 86.20.53.195 16:30, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

It's just a show that got cancelled. --Aaru Bui DII 17:02, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Somehow, I think people will be talking about it for a while longer than some wrestling things. Have you removed it yet? No. Because it is a event that happened in TNA that SHOULD be recognised. It's like the Montreal Incident. That was an event. It happened. It made history. So what? Anyway I feel it was an important event that occurred, that's why I added it. I've made my point. 86.20.53.195 17:07, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

It shouldn't be in because any WWE involvement is just a RUMOR. Unless you have some proof WWE was responsible, then it's just a cancelled house show. TJ Spyke 00:10, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

New Deal in the UK

Announced yesterday - TNA are cancelling their contract with TWC and have reached a deal with another channel believed to be Bravo. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.67.138.19 (talk) 19:41, 16 December 2006 (UTC).

Leaving? They left TNA quite some time ago. TJ Spyke 08:39, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm guessing it's to improve the quality of the article and not just for convincing. --Aaru Bui DII 11:50, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

About the NWA World Heavyweight & World Tag Team Championships...

Well, apparently, according to Gerweck.net, TNA will be losing the rights to the aforementioned titles within the next several months, instead of by 2014. In fact, here's a link to the story:

TNA losing their rights to the NWA titles and name? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.7.217.221 (talk) 01:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

Yeah, that story is full of BS. TNA has the rights until 2014. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TJ Spyke (talk • contribs) 01:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

Either way, it doesn't matter as it concerns Wikipedia until they actually do lose the rights and it is officially announced on TNAWrestling.com or on Impact. Bmg916 Speak to Me 02:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Well the sheets are pretty much confirming this information, TNA's official drop of the NWA world title could happen this Sunday but until something officially happens, page should stay the same. TonyFreakinAlmeida 15:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Problem with that is TNA don't plan to do any title drop. They want to give the impression that the NWA world title becomes the TNA Heavyweight Title like WCW did —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.56.16 (talk) 02:56, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Uh-huh, your source? TJ Spyke 03:02, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Shows what you know TJ. TNA lost the rights to the titles and had to hand them over after the PPV. Now TNA has to come up with some more titles or else! Vermon CaTaffy 8

Shows you don't know how to read. My comment was from Saturday, the NWA didn't strip TNA until Sunday. TJ Spyke 02:39, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

TNA

For some reason an editor is trying to move TNA (disambiguation) to TNA, basically erasing the redirect. Despite me offering proof that this is the bigges use of TNA, I could use some help there. TJ Spyke 00:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Champion's Advantage

I just recently saw the Cage vs Joe match, when Cage tried to walk away and get a 10 count. The announcer noted that if he walked away he would maintain the championship. I think the main section should be edited to note that while the disqualification rule is different than most wrestling, the 10 count still gives the champion an advantage.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.192.21.115 (talk) 15:44, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Criticism

Whoever wrote that criticism page did so without citing any sources nor having any structure. They couldn't even do it in complete sentences. I've removed the section. I know TNA has been under a bit of fire as of late, but I don't think it's time to make a section for Criticism yet.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ytoabn (talk • contribs) 20:01, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Entertainment?

I didnt realise TNA called themself Entertainment. I thought they were trying to be the opposite to WWE and Sports Entertainment. I would agree that TNA is Sports Entertainment, i dont watch TNA often but the fans ive asked say TNA doesnt refer to themselves as Sports Entertainment so i dont think wikipedia should either Don.-.J 19:33, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Look at the bottom of their website or at the end of their TV/PPV programs: "Copyright © 2006 TNA Entertainment, LLC.". TJ Spyke 19:43, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

TNA Tag & Heavyweight titles

What the heck is going on. TNA has only an X division championship. What is going on? What will TNA do with NWA taking back their titles? User: Vermon CaTaffy 8

The reports are that TNA ordered World Heavyweight and World Tag Team Titles last week, it's logical to assume they will introduce them this week on iMPACT. TJ Spyke 20:20, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Question:

Let's assume that NWA withdrew their titles prior to the Sacrifice PPV. Then would that mean that going into to Sacrifice, Christian Cage, since TNA was still recognizing him as their World Champion, be the actual first TNA World Champion, with Kurt Angle winning the belt from him to be the second title holder?

And with Team 3D, since TNA still recognizes them as Tag Team Champions, would that mean that that would be 7 different sets of tag belts (RAW, Smackdown, ECW, WCW, NWA, HUSTLE, and TNA) they have held? (21 time champs overall?).

I'm assuming all this to be the case, just making sure to be official.

Ohgltxg 20:55 14 May, 2007 (UTC)

New Titles

On TNA's website [3], they are promoting the unveiling of the new TNA World Heavyweight, TNA World Tag Team, and TNA X Division Championship belts on the "TNA Today" webcast (World Title on Tues. May 15, X and Tag Titles the next day).

Since TNA is coming out with these Championships, and calling them by the names listed above, could there be new articles written and title histories made for these titles?

Ohgltxg 21:42 14 May, 2007 (UTC)

New Champion

The new TNA Champion is Kurt Angle and that's really important to add! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.54.154.18 (talk) 00:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC).

Although, just a rumor now, the new TNA Championship belt may be introduced as vacant, and a King of the Mountain match will decide the holder. So, as of right now, Kurt Angle shouldn't be listed as the Champion, until we get official word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maximus92 (talk • contribs) 13:21, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Even if Angle gets stripped, it doesn't change the fact that as of right now he IS the TNA World Champion. TJ Spyke

The rumor holds true, as I said, the title is vacant, and Angle is officially not the World Heavyweight Champion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maximus92 (talk • contribs) 02:12, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

It wasn't a rumor, the stripping happened on the iMPACT taping on Monday. Angle is still considered a former TNA Champion thogh. TJ Spyke 02:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
ANGLE ISN'T THE CHAMP. The title is vacant. Just becuase Angle runs around with it, doesn't mean he's champ. The King Of The Mountain match will determine the champ. --SteelersFan UK06 01:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Why are you replying to this old section? Angle was the champ when it was made, but we all know he was stripped of the title the next day at the iMPACT tapings. TJ Spyke 01:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
My apologies again Mr Spyke, it seems this is the second time this morning I have annoyed you. I was unaware that this discussion was no longer active, as the topic did not seem to be closed at the end of the discussion. My sincerest apologies for not checking the comment dates prior to my own entry. --SteelersFan UK06 02:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
You haven't annoyed me, you just confused me. I was wondering why you were replying to comments made several weeks ago. TJ Spyke 02:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I replyed to the comment becuase the last thing noted in the discussion was that Angle was the champion when really he was only holding the belt. I thought that the discussion was unfinished as I forgot to check the date on the last edit. I think this discussion can be closed now, yes? --SteelersFan UK06 02:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

TNA was NEVER a NWA member

TNA Wrestling was NEVER a member of the National Wrestling Alliance, they were strictly business associates through a contract agreement. Bill Behrens of the National Wrestling Alliance and Jerry Jarrett have both confirmed this many times, stating TNA Wrestling did not pay membership dues at anytime. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TNAWrestling (talk • contribs) 16:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Right, well if you can source that last bit, then we'll believe you. Otherwise, the fact that the company was called NWA-TNA sort of implies that it was an NWA member. --SteelersFan UK06 21:08, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Jerry Jarrett’s book talks about J Sports & Entertainment was formed, and how Jeff Jarrett met with representatives of the NWA, and how they formed an association with the National Wrestling Alliance. The title “NWA:TNA” was dropped in October of 2004 when Panda purchased Jerry Jarrett’s 73% stock in the company. TNAWrestling 02:05, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

You mean 2002. Panda didn't do anything about the ties with the NWA. Which page was this mentioned? --Aaru Bui DII 03:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

TNA Today

could someone please get rid of this line "TNA Today claims to be "the most viewed daily internet program in the world." Although they provide no proof, many believe it to be true as TNA Today is almost always on the Most Watched Videos list on YouTube" Just because it is on the most viewed list on youtube does not give prove they are right.

World Beer Drinking Championship

Since Genesis, Eric Young and Cowboy James Storm have been fighting over the title of World Beer Drinking Champion. Storm created the title and it first came into existence at Genesis when he defended it against Eric Young. Eric won the title then and on last night's edition of Impact with an official at hand, successfully defended this most prestigious title, and the ring announcer even said "Your winner and still Champion, Eric Young". Should this new gimmick championship be added to the table of other championships already in TNA Wrestling? I'm sure there are sources available on TNA's web site to support it's existence. TonyFreakinAlmeida 16:05, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

IMO, it's like the old Million Dollar Championship, it's just an unofficial belt and shouldn't be listed with the real belts. Maybe mention it in Young's and Storm's articles. TJ Spyke 23:18, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you TJ oh Lord. This title has quickly become the second most sought after championship title in TNA Wrestling and I think it's highly noteworthy that it was brought in for the undercarders to get over. TV Title what?! TonyFreakinAlmeida 00:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Citing Weekly PPV buy rates

I asked for citation on the low PPV buy rates. I don't doubt that they were lower than WWE's, but I want to know specifically what the buy rates were for statistical reasons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dstebbins (talk • contribs) 17:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't think they've ever been released. TNA's always been a privately owned company, they'd only release them if the numbers they got were something to be really proud of or if they wanted to thump their chests. TonyFreakinAlmeida (talk) 00:43, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Match rules

I know that historically DQ's have resulted in title changes if there was a title on the line in the match. But I read results recently from a Montreal TNA house show where Christian won a title match against Angle by DQ but the title did not change hands. Should this be noted that they waived the traditional TNA match rule set for live events? Here is a link to results. [4] It was also posted on PWInsider newsbit for the same show.TonyFreakinAlmeida(talk) 03:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

It has been noted that the only reason the title did not change hand was due to a miscommunication among the staff and someone had actually forgotten the DQ rule. Therefore, the rule is still in effect. 192.76.82.90 (talk) 20:37, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Yep. Simple mistake. In the other events of the tour, Angle was the winner. Mshake3 (talk) 22:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
I think it's safe to say that TNA has changed the rules creatively. Johnny Devine just retained the X Division Title on iMPACT after getting DQ'ed against Homicide. TonyFreakinAlmeida (talk) 21:26, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Six Sides of Steel Championship?

The championship section currently lists a Six Sides of Steel Championship, though I haven't heard of this as a new title to be created by TNA. Is there a legitimate source for this?

TNA Parodies of WWE

I made a page called TNA Parodies of WWE but it redirects to here, can anyone fill me in on this? It worked fine yesterday. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChuckCoke (talk • contribs) 19:51, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

It is a unneeded page. There is no reason for it. Every company in the world makes fun of the WWE. It is a normal thing in the pro wrestling business. So it isn't notable to enough to need a page.--WillC 20:02, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

I disagree, TNA is notable for its parodies of WWE, and its the only major wrestling company besides WWE. It seems that a well-written page explaning the parodies is nesseccessary (sorry for the spelling i'm in a hurry) —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChuckCoke (talk • contribs) 20:53, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

How is it notable? TNA is just barely known by people. So most don't know of their parodies. Most don't know of Shark Boy. When you say Shark Boy people think of the stupid movie a few years back. And no offense it wasn't a greatly written page. It had unreliable references. it wasn't written correctly. Plus if the parodies are notable enough to place anywhere, they should go in the person who is doing them article i.e. Shark Boy's should go in his article.--WillC 20:59, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, someone else can get in on the debate. I wasn't even the one who made it a redirect. I was going to have it deleted until User:3bulletproof16 decided instead to make it a redirect. Ask User:Gavyn Sykes, he'll probably tell you the same as I did.--WillC 21:55, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Maybe, I think it might have been me. There was no reason for that section in the first place because Abyss has been doing that gimmick since Kane and Mick Foley showed up in WWE. So there is no rip off there. Most promotions have a wrestler with a monster gimmick. So there really is no reason to be adding stuff like that in there since mankind was really ripped off by Kane in the first place just given a different mask and having a pyromaniac gimmick.--WillC 00:09, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Remove 'Cruiserweight' reference?

"TNA showcases Lucha Libre style Cruiserweight action under the X Division"

TNA has never stated any weight classification for the X Division, on the contrary they have specifically said it has NO weight limits, the tag-line being "it's not able weight limits; it's about no limits". Samoa Joe, a 260Lbs man, is also a former champion. Claiming the division is for those under the Cruiserweight classification is clearly only references due to the WWE previously having a title of the same name. I think it should be removed.

It says nothing about a weight limit in that sentence. It is about style, you know high flying abilities.--WillC 20:37, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

YouTube, depends on if it is TNA's official channel or just a fan video. I don't know how reliable that German site is. TJ Spyke 20:53, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
It is not a fan video, it’s Mick Foley announcing the tour.

By "fan video", I meant one uploaded by a fan. TNA does have an official YouTube channel. Where did you get that video from? I don't think it would be allowed though since TNA didn't upload it and I doubt they would release that into the public domain. TJ Spyke 21:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

TNA Sold

Jeff Jarrett has sold his TNA shares to Bob Carter: http://www.cygy.com/2009/08/bob-carter-purchases-jeff-jarretts-tna.html 70.68.139.248 (talk) 04:04, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, since the website is currently offline, the article cannot be checked for reliability. Besides, if Double J's stake had been sold, there would have been some announcement made about it. In other words, it's complete BULLS#IT. 67.173.117.222 (talk) 19:32, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
No, not bullshit IP. Since TNA is privately owned, they do not have to announce when shares are bought or sold. People and companies buy/sell shares in companies all the time without announcing it. You also provide no source for Jarrett owning 22% of TNA. TJ Spyke 21:33, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, TJ, your ONLY source for Carter & Panda Energy completely owning TNA is down, therefore rendering that source unreliable at least until the site is back up. And, if anything, there would have at least been SOME mention of it in wrestling news, which there WASN'T. Besides, IF it was true, more than ONE wrestling news site would be reporting it. Besides the fact that ONE site reporting it wouldn't make it reliable. Aside from the fact of the question of Cygy's reliability. So, for now, your tidbit can only be taken as a rumor. And, until your rumor is confirmed, there's no reason to remove the piece of info about Double J still owning 28%. 98.193.77.134 (talk) 02:57, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
There's no source that Jarrett owns 28% of TNA, so there no reason to have a unsouced claim. He may or may not still have a minority share in TNA, but no source he owns 28%. TJ Spyke 17:05, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, according to some sources I've read, after Panda acquired 72% of TNA, Double J bought his father's stake. Well, simple math tells us that 100 - 72 = 28, therefore Double J would own 28% of TNA. And, technically, your tidbit of Panda completely owning TNA is an unsourced claim, since the website it's coming from is down at the moment. 67.173.117.222 (talk) 18:45, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
The website being temporarily down does NOT mean it is untrue. There is no reliable source for how much Panda Energy owns. Hell, even if there is a source for them owning 72% that does not mean Jeff owns 28% (other people can own small amounts too). A source being down does not mean it needs to be removed, that is what {{deadlink}} is for. TJ Spyke 18:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, here's a link to a Facebook page about TNA's history:Talk Wrestling Online: TNA Ownership - A Timeline. According to that article, Panda bought 72% of TNA from the Jarretts. Jeff then bought his father, Jerry's, remaning 28% stake in the company. Now, NOWHERE in that timeline does it mention ANYTHING about Panda acquiring Jeff's stake, so that must mean that Double J still owns 28% of the company. If you want, I can use that page as a reference to Double J still owning some of TNA. 67.173.117.222 (talk) 23:19, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
A random persons Facebook page is not a reliable source. TJ Spyke 23:27, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, technically, neither is a website that's currently down. And, for the fact that it's only ONE website. It would have to reported by more than one site for the information to be verifiable.67.173.117.222 (talk) 01:26, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
UPDATE:Well, apparently, the source for Carter buying the rest of Jarrett's stake is NO MORE. Tried going to the weblink and the article is no longer there. So, in other words, there is NO RELIABLE SOURCE for Robert Carter owning all of TNA. In other words, your link is NO GOOD anymore! 67.173.117.222 (talk) 02:28, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

The keyword here is was. It's no longer reliable because that article is GONE! And, I tried Internet Archive with that link and NOTHING shows up. So, once again:In other words, your link is NO GOOD anymore! So, please, try to get that through your thick skull this time. 67.173.117.222 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:14, 11 March 2010 (UTC).
First, stop attacking editors or you will be blocked. Second, see Wikipedia:Linkrot. Just because a link goes dead does NOT mean it becomes unreliable or that it should be deleted. TJ Spyke 21:09, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
The link would still be reliable if it was still in existence. But since it is not, any information it covers has to be removed if a replacement can not be found.--WillC 21:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Alright, I'm sorry for engaging in personal attacks against editors. I never should have done that & I apologize. BUT, the point I was trying to make is that technically, if a link does go down, it DOES become unreliable, because there's no way to verify the information in the link anymore & there's no longer exists any credible reason to retain the link, therefore it should be deleted. So, TJ, you are wrong on both counts. 67.173.117.222 (talk) 01:58, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Knockouts Championship is not Vacant!!!

Championships

I noticed that the TNA Legends Championship was called the "TNA Global Championhip". Is There a reason for this? In the meantime, I'm changing it to Legends. 99.50.127.187 (talk) 05:11, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

They renamed it on Impact!.--WillC 06:22, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Except it seems to be nothing more than Eric Young referring to it as that. TNA still calls it the Legends Championship, and the fact that 95% of TNA's shows are on US soil (which means his storyline threat is meaningless) means it likely won't last long. This seems to be like when Lance Storm "renamed" the WCW United States Championship as the WCW Canadian Championship (and "renaming" the Cruiserweight and Hardcore titles too), or when Bradshaw renamed the WWE Hardcore Championship as the WWE Texas Hardcore Championship. In other words, it's an unofficial renaming. The title is still officially the TNA Legends Championship. TJ Spyke 15:16, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
I agree with TJ. Note Lance Storm's renaming of numerous titles during his reigns.--UnquestionableTruth-- 20:11, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

On TNAWrestling.com's roster page, check out the championship roll call.

They have officially renamed the title to the Global Championship.

Vjmlhds 21:16, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

So? WCW did the same thing when Storm "renamed" the belt, or when a nWo wrestler held the "nWo World Heavyweight Championship". If TNA continues calling it that after Young loses it, then it can be agreed to be a real change. TJ Spyke 21:23, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Except WCW never called the WCW title the nWo title- only the nWo did. Graphics/website always said WCW. I can't remember of they did change it for Storm, but the fact is if the company calls it that, then it's official. They can call their titles whatever they want and change them every week if they wish- when you start a wrestling company feel free to do the same. --208.38.59.163 (talk) 21:09, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
When Storm held the titles, WCW DID call them what he did, but they stopped once he lost the titles. Doesn't make it a official name change. TJ Spyke 22:04, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
Actually, that's pretty much the dictionary definition of an official name change. They officially changed it then they officially changed it back. What does it take to make it an official title change, your personal approval? An executive order from the President of the United States? --208.38.59.163 (talk) 00:06, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
TJ, TNA have clearly tried to show as much as they can that the title has been renamed. Even having Nash take the title and say it is no longer the Legends Title, that it is dead, and now it is just the Global Title. It doesn't matter what WCW did, this is today and TNA. TNA have renamed it, so we reflect that, not try to see future events.--WillC 02:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Second Largest?

Is there a reference for this, i would of thought the japanese promotions were larger —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewdavies (talk • contribs) 02:43, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

TNA has it's TV show shown all over the world and its PPV's shown all over the world, neither of which is true for any Japanese promotion. Some of them are big, but I don't think they are bigger than TNA. TJ Spyke 02:50, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Probably would be best to remove it anyway. It seems more like an opinion, rather than a fact.--WillC 03:45, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I was thinking along those lines as well. Also what makes a promotion the "second biggest" because in terms of crowd numbers TNA isnt second--Matthewdavies (talk) 04:42, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Under that logic the NCAA football is bigger than the NFL because more total people attend NCAA football games. It's your OPINION that it should be based on crowds. If you want to talk about the amount of people who see the event, it's again TNA. More people see TNA than any Japanese promotion. TJ Spyke 22:28, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I would argue that. Japanense promotions gather thousands at their shows plus millions see them via dvds, ppvs, etc. That is just one varible. Would be best to remove, until a reliable source is presented as such. I would say TNA is the second largest, but I got no proof of that.--WillC 23:06, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I think perhaps the best judge is revenue made, and i dont know what the numbers are for that --Matthewdavies (talk) 23:10, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I would be skeptical that "millions" see the DVDs and PPVs (first, the PPV's air only in Japan. Same for DVDs, anyone outside of Japan would have to import them). I do agree that the wording should at least be changed (maybe back to "second largest in North America", like it used to be). As for revenue, we will never know since I think WWE is the only publically traded wrestling company. TNA is a private company, which means they do not have to disclose their financial records. TJ Spyke 23:15, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Hogan

Without turning this into a edit war i think the paragraph should be included. Hogan is perhaps the only wrestler known by the mainstream public and is head and shoulders above any of the names you've mentioned. It has been lauded as a major deal by both TNA management and wrestling pundits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewdavies (talk • contribs) 23:42, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes his signing has gotten a lot of hype, but we don't know if it will actually be important in the history of the company. Maybe 1 or 2 sentences, but I don't see the need for a whole paragraph (yet alone an entire section). TJ Spyke 00:04, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
What about puting him in the celeb section? I looks like he'll be taking on a non wrestling job (and he is a pretty big star) and we can expand his section if anything meaningful comes out of it. --Matthewdavies (talk) 01:00, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Hogan and January 4th Impact

Both deserve a mention due to it being referred to as the "biggest night in TNA history" and the introduction of some of the biggest stars in the business either returning or debuting —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daddycool1989 (talk • contribs) 09:22, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

TNA Article Name

Is TNA Called TNA Wrestling LLC Or TNA Entertainment LLC Kreyg Talk

Why?--WillC 06:42, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
The corporate name is (as the article says) TNA Entertainment LLC. The promotions name though is Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. TJ Spyke 21:00, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protection For Total Nonstop Action Wrestling article

this article needs some protection because constantly I seeing random IP's changeing things like putting WWE owns TNA and that TNA is a brand of WWE and now im seeing they are changeing the owners and putting vince mcmahon is the owner of tna Kreyg Talk 15:40, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

I just requested and got it protected. For future reference though, you can request protection yourself at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. TJ Spyke 15:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

TNA Monday January 4th

The article says March 8th will be the first live monday edition of iMPACT, but as anyone that has been watching TNA before Monday January 4th knows it was Monday January 4th —Preceding unsigned comment added by Planbsk8erb (talk • contribs) 02:21, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

How Big Does TNA needs To be To get the page TNA to redirect to just the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling Page

I was wondering how big do they need to be Iceman247 (talk) 15:57, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

The acronym TNA would have to in everyway make people think wrestling right off the bat. So pretty big.--WillC 18:22, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Well, you got your wish! Searching for the acronym 'TNA' now brings you straight to this article. Yay! Banandar123 23:26, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Check again, still a disambiguity.--WillC 06:24, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
But when I just search for TNA instead of typing out the URL, it takes me straight to the page. Maybe it has something to do with internet cookies or something, I don't know.Banandar123 02:15, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

"Primarily a wrestling business"?

TNA's business focus is mainly on professional wrestling

I strongly disagree with this line. TNA is a wrestling promotion. To say the company is primarily a wrestling business would mean it is a large part, but there are significant smaller parts involved in the company.--Screwball23 talk 03:36, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
What else do they do that is not involved in wrestling in any way?--WillC 05:37, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
I agree with WillC what else would TNA be involved with iCEMAN247 22:04, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

TNA is also pretty famous as a retirement home for retired WCW and WWF guys. Mick Foley, for example, retired from WWE and now collects a paycheck (IE social security check) from TNA. The Nasty Boys are also a recent addition to this practice. TNA is kind enough to let these old wrestlers put together matches on TV every so often. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.135.242.14 (talk) 18:13, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Hornswoggle?

as i recall hornswoggle is still in wwe and therefore is not the tna champion. can someone change it cause i'm afraid i might mess it up. thank you. 75.52.120.106 (talk) 04:01, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

It was vandalism.--WillC 06:28, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

.98

Should we mention the rating for TNA's last Monday Night show? It seems pretty notable because it was so profoundly bad, even worse than the usual Thursday rating, and it shows that fans are reacting harshly to the current (read: terrible) product and overuse of Hogan and Flair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.135.242.14 (talk) 18:15, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

No. We are not a news site, and last night was just a regular Impact. We don't report every time something else gets low rating. TJ Spyke 20:51, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Also they got a .8 for this past week. Considering the trend, it's not worth it.71.30.92.50 (talk) 22:13, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Matt Morgan

Should there be a footnote about why he is holding a Tag Title by himself? --198.189.185.107 (talk) 02:13, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Isn't Broadhead the CFO? Not the CEO?

The 'Key People' section of the TNA page lists Dean Broadhead as the CEO. Isn't he the CFO, though? I couldn't find any reliable information on him, so I'm not completely sure. But I know I've heard him mentioned as the CFO a few times on other sites. Just thought I'd point that out.

I'm kinda new to Wikipedia so I'm not even sure if this warrants its own page. Feel free to delete it if necessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Banandar123 (talk • contribs) 21:26, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

'Controversy' section

Is the 'Controversy' section needed? It seems like someone put it there just to put down the company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Banandar123 (talk • contribs) 17:29, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

I think it's a good idea to have it in the article. TNA uses edgy storylines, and their controversies are definitely a real part of the business. I don't see it as putting down the company; rather, it helps define many of the ongoing themes in TNA.--Screwball23 talk 13:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC)


If there's going to be a controversy section, it has to be well cited. Right now it reads like a bad essay of what some editor dislikes about the company.Horrorshowj (talk) 12:16, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
It's a shame. A lot of this is good information that gives a fuller picture of what TNA is about. Since the onus is put on someone to put up controversial and critical remarks on TNA with good references, I think this material will never be back on. Editors are too acerbic in general to stand for this "controversy" because many will interpret it too negatively. Also, editors who enjoy TNA will be inclined to remove it by citing the NPOV policy. Overall, I know the material is doomed from ever coming back on.
Tssk, Tsk. This is one of the parts about Wikipedia that makes me unhappy :-(
--Screwball23 talk 05:11, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Features?

Does anyone know where the 'Features' section of the TNA article went? I know that whoever initially implemented it didn't cite any of the information included, but I thought it included some useful information and, with some quick research, could be sourced easily. I just couldn't seem to find it to revert it.

I recently added another section that alsoused the title'Features', but the section I'm talking about was one that included some things like "X-Division", "Knockouts Division", "Ring Shape", "Locations", etc...

I think I know what you can do. Too bad you didn't leave your talk page address. Anyway, if you go to the View History button of the TNA article, you can spot a part that says "Revision History Search". If you click on that and input the time frame you think the article may have contained this material before it was removed, you can search for "X-division" "Features" or "Ring Shape" and you will be able to know what revisions of this page had them.

Let me know if you need some help.

--Screwball23 talk 05:20, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

I gave it a shot and I found edit that may be the one you are talking about.

Dixie Carter

The article near the end has a link for the Dixie Carter involved with TNA directing to the recently late Celebrity of Desiging Women fame, is there a 2nd article for the TNA one it can be redirected to?63.163.213.249 (talk) 02:26, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Championships section

Why is there so much info on the current champions? I have seen the articles on each championship and I can see editors are working their hardest to make them up to date. Why do we need editors hitting up this page AND the championship pages AND the List of current TNA champions every time there is a single title change? It might help feed someone's ego to know that they are editing a page on TNA, but in reality, these edits could be better directed to the championship pages themselves.

Please share your thoughts with me on this one. --Screwball23 talk 17:10, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Christopher Daniels

Please stop putting Christopher Daniels' picture on the article. He is but one of many who had came through TNA Wrestling and went on to greener pastures. Thank You. Vjmlhds 21:28, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Christopher Daniels is a prime example of a wrestler who spent his career doing both TNA and ROH. Daniels is a prominent figure in ROH, and served frequently during his TNA career. I understand that he is not currently a TNA wrestler. That's fine, the point is, his photo is used to illustrate the fact that TNA does not prohibit its wrestlers from being on the independent circuit.--Screwball23 talk 04:59, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

List of Current Champions

Gather round everyone. There is a very important matter at hand:

Should trivial info that is easily outdated and already linked to in another article be put into a table on Total Nonstop Action? Hmmm...

Ok, I'm being facetious.

The issue is regarding the list of current TNA champions. I want to remind everyone that there is already a separate page on this. See List of current champions in TNA Wrestling. For some reason, editors have swarmed this page with constant updates on the current TNA champions, treating Wikipedia like some trivia center with the latest wrestling updates. I brought this issue up to an editor, who reverted my edit saying there was no article to place this under, but now wants this to become an issue of discussion.

I am not saying that I am right. That's up to any passerbys of this discussion to decide. I think I hit this editor too fast with my deletion instead of weening him off and now he's in some emotional response that he can't let go of.

This takes me back to the emotional outbursts and insanity I had to deal with when I put the WWE's change to PG on the World Wrestling Entertainment page.

What I need people to do is check the history of this page, see the links, and view the page, and tell us honestly if they feel that the List of Current Champions is worth being updated in two locations when there is one dedicated directly for that purpose.--Screwball23 talk 07:35, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

List of current TNA champions shouldn't even exist nor should list of current WWE champions, neither are long enough for FL on their own. The only reason list of current WWE champions is FL is because it was passed 3 years ago and was the last article of a topic. Currently all lists must be at least 10 items long to become an FL. If anything that should be merged into this article since that section has not grown large enough to justify a split. And if this is to be discussed, this also effects the WWE, etc company articles. It should be taken to WT:PW.--WillC 02:58, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Wrestlinglover, I know you want to prove a point here, but just think about the bind you are putting yourself into. You have been trying to brainstorm rules why it should be on the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling page, and all of them are inconsistent. I know you saw other editors put updates on these wrestlers, and you are looking for a way to engage other editors to defend your point. But for what? What do you really want here? This is not a discussion about how significant the info is. This is about a redundant section that you want to hold onto for sentimental reasons.
Now, I don't know what FL means or where this 10 item long requirement is coming from, but the people who put together the List of current champions in TNA Wrestling were never bound by this rule before. I have also seen many small wrestling articles, and to my knowledge, there is no cut-off regarding how large a section should be to merit its own article. And even you can't say with an honest heart that List of current champions in TNA Wrestling is too small to be its own page. It has images, links, plenty of PPV/storyline info. It is not a small article at all. Screwball23 talk 16:15, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Listen kid, I've been on here for a while, expanded alot of articles to Good Article, Featured List, or Featured Article. Believe me when I say that article is too short for FL and is borderline list cruft in my honest opinion. At one point I was working on a list of current champions, see List of current champions in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. I redirected it because it was too short and for the above reasons. The only reason I am keeping this list in the article is that no consensus was ever reached for it to be removed. Editors can't just go around and remove large bits of text with a valid reason or an agreement. This removal doesn't only effect this article it would effect the WWE article as well.--WillC 16:33, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
I can see I hit a soft spot with you. (Why does anyone have to be so emotionally-vested in this nonsense? And since when did I ask for "credentials"? Seriously, we've all expanded articles here, so let's get beyond that.) First and foremost, as a person who has seen editors self-destruct on wikipedia before, I feel obligated to let you know you're not fooling anyone, not even yourself.
Now, the page on the list of TNA champions is there, and it has existed without argument for some time now. Your argument that it must be a Featured List to exist as a standalone article is complete nonsense. A list is a list. Where did FL come in? The fact of the matter is, editors can remove text with a valid reason, which I have provided. You are simply being stubborn and using every tactic you possibly can to save your ego (there needs to be consensus to change an article, this will completely change the WikiProject, its too short, its too crufty to be on wikipedia) Seriously, grow up.--Screwball23 talk 07:06, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Screwball you don't have a valid reason for its removal you just want it to be removed cause you said it shouldn't be there well sorry my friend but that's not a good enough reason for it's removal. And secondly this discussion should be moved to WT:PW as this could effect a whole list of pages that have the champions listed on there pages and as such any discussion should take place wikiproject wide.--Steam Iron 03:23, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Don't kid yourself. I gave logical reasons. I want to see the same from you.--Screwball23 talk 05:25, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Your point is WP:OSE. That is not a valid argument. What I and apparently Dcheagle are trying to do is gather a group decision and form a consensus on format rather than just doing. Democracy really.--WillC 05:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

I have no idea what possessed you to cite that policy. I am not an advocate for WP:OSE. I don't mean to be condescending, but reading through that page, the WP:OSE argument is centered on whether a cruft article (a reality show participant or a TV series episode) should get its own article based on the fact that other such articles exist. --Screwball23 talk 18:04, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
I have already opened a discussion at WT:PW regarding the subject for the very same reason.--WillC 05:00, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
I will not continue any discussion here as i said before it needs to be done WT:PW.--Steam Iron 18:24, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
