What will you be doing tonight ? ….
Hi Georgie,
I think that wrestling fans are at a crucible here, the proverbial fork in the road. IF the fans support and watch Monday Night Raw tomorrow, no doubt the return of Bret Hart is something that will be very cool, very special, or at least it has the potential to be. However, we all have DVR now, or at the very least still have the capacity to record a television show. Let this week go, record Raw, anything worth anything will be on WWE.com almost immediately.
Fans have been clamoring for a choice for years, my entire adult life I've heard nothing but people saying they want competition, they want a choice, they want wrestling to be the competitive television environment is used to be.
This is put up or shut up time for wrestling fans. Even if people haven't given TNA a chance before, or perhaps they have and have been burnt by them, this is going to be a new TNA, we are going to see things and surprises from them that we've not seen before, I truly believe that. I think we are going to see the top quality matches that TNA performers are capable of putting on and I think we're going to see TNA with all guns blazing.
The fans should choose TNA Monday, so that TNA can get that rating and kickstart a new era of competition. For all the fans of AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Daniels, and Matt Morgan, IF TNA can get up that level, just imagine the possibilities for these guys!
I highly doubt we'd have ever seen the likes of Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero and even men like the Big Show in WWE without the Monday Night Wars and Nitro. You could even further that by saying that guys in WWE could come over and have new life breathed into them.
This can only happen if January 4th is a huge success for TNA, and while TNA says the rating is irrelevant, it isn't. The rating will be the genesis or the end of what could possibly be. There's no reason for a wrestling fan not to at least attempt to see what TNA offers.
Give the first hour a look, IF you absolutely hate it, turn over to Raw when it starts, but if you like it or at least some aspects of it, record Raw and watch it later.
Only good things can come out of TNA being a success in the ratings Monday.
This is the equivalent of an election, send a message to the WWE, you want something other than what they're giving you.
Cast your vote with your view, and help the wrestling industry as a whole. You can do that by supporting TNA on Monday Night January 4th.

I'll be flipping back and forth between Raw and TNA. In the end, I hope that TNA will compete with WWF/E and force them to make better wrestling events. If that's the case,then the wrestling fans win.

Hi Georgie,
Well my curiosity has me, while I like Bret a lot more than I do Hogan, I have more interest in TNA and I want to see what Hogan will be doing to the Company. Luckily my Friend will be Taping Raw so I can make a Copy of it.

I will be watching Raw. I'm more interested in what Bret Hart will do with Vince and/or Shawn Michaels, than what Hogan will do with Flair, and the rest of the boring TNA roster.
Nobody will ever beat Vince, not even the immortal Hulk Hogan.

iMPACT IT IS !!
Although Bret is one of my all time favorites, WWE has become too predictable and I think Bret will be seriously misused and over-exposed. I am very curious what TNA will look like and if they will be a true opponent for Vince- I have to say it, TNA it is tonight....with the occasional switch to peek at Raw.

I will be flipping. Before the Hart announcement I planned on watching every minute of TNA's broadcast. But now, the WWE has upped the ante and their show doesn't seem like such a waste of time. I'm going to flip as honestly as I can, when something boring comes on RAW, I will change, and hopefully their ratings will show other viewers doing the same. I've got chills thinking about the Monday Night Wars and what a little competition can do to both company's products.
