5 Reasons I Chose To Watch WWE SummerSlam 91 Instead Of TNA Slammiversary 2016

5. The Inevitability Of 'Moments'

In truth, this problem isn't solely a TNA one.

By developing itself as some sort of strange bizarro-world version of WWE, however, TNA finds itself trying too hard to create these moments and then passing them off as organic, life-changing events. WWE does this way too much, especially around WrestleMania season, and it really has cheapened the feeling an audience gets from a title win.

Slammiversary 2016 saw three titles change hands, and two of these saw individuals pick up singles gold in the company for the first time. Eddie Edwards became the X-Division Champion, and Sienna prevailed over Jade and Gail Kim to pick up the Knockouts Championship.

Undoubtedly huge moments for two individuals who deserve all of the success in the world, but the inevitability of a title changing hands has led to title changes that feel somewhat underwhelming.

Now, obviously it isn't fair to truly compare 1991 to 2016. SummerSlam 1991 saw Bret Hart win his first singles title in emotional fashion. and also saw Virgil of all people get retribution against 'The Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase. Moments are what wrestling is all about, but moments for the sake of moments cheapen those moments.
