      Right Nia Jax isn’t a knockoff version of Havok & WWE didn’t steel the broken gimmick with the Hardy’s & rename it the woken gimmick & they didn’t sign a bunch of Impact’s stars desperately trying to be like Impact & being greedy to try to get rid of competition because they can’t handle any company being better than them & they didn’t also bring in sting who’s a legend in Impact but claimed he’s a legend in wwe when he’s had very few matches there & they didn’t try to make Nikki Cross into a knockoff version of Daffney ok I’m Done because there’s too many to list of what wwe copied from Impact

      Pretty much. First Daniels & Kaz were trying to prove AJ was successful bc he was sleeping with Dixie Carter, then that was teased to be true but the two being seen together out of work was only bc they were sponsors for a recovering addict and then that dragged on to where Daniels & Kaz tried to say AJ & Claire had a thing, which turned into her being a crazy chick that drugged AJ but ultimately it was all something that Daniels & Kaz paid her to do. That is pretty much the whole god awful angle minus a baby doll in an AJ Styles hood

      No it isn't the same thing there is a distinct difference between ripping off an idea and trying to present it as your own idea, and doing something that is intended as a mock up of some other well known work.

    • @24magiccarrot
      @24magiccarrot 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      no of course not, but there hasn't been an original idea in any art form for years.
      The latest blockbuster film won't contain anything that plot wise hasn't been done a hundred times before but doesn't make it a rip off.
      But a parody is a different type of non original idea, as it is intentionally, and presented as a take on a previous work.
      If you can't see the difference between having a similar gimmick story line and outright intentionally copying a storyline plot for plot then you are an idiot.

    • @24magiccarrot
      @24magiccarrot 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      They copied mitb (magnificent seven briefcase), the rumble (with a variation), taking any former wwe wrestler (el patron, Kurt angle, rey mysterio, Cody Rhodes, aaron stone, stu bennett, broken Matt hardy, bully ray dudley, drew Galloway), an attempt at an invasion angle, the cash in with the magnificent seven briefcase in the middle of a match. Probably more as well. I'm not slating defiant wrestling but the similarities are noticeable. Although defiant has more opportunities to showcase their shared talent

    Ok so even though that TNA has many times tried to copy WWE, I do wanna day that there are very many things that TNA does better then WWE. Lethal Lockdown is a way better version of either Hell In A Cell or a Steel Cage match. And they still have the Ultimate X match. Which is the most exciting match ever to watch.

    It seems that people may have forgotten this but when WWE ran that Undertaker return promo most of the internet wrestling community thought that it was a promo for Sting. It was a little silly to think that but it was because that was when the false rumors first started flying that Sting was coming to WWE that year to face Undertaker at Wrestlemania.
    So that probably had something to do with TNA copying that promo for Sting.

What is hurting the company is having part time champs like Lesnar and not as talented to deserve what they have champs like Alexa Bliss.
