Umm...has anyone been to wwe.com lately? There's TNA news!
 
I didn't see this anywhere else & I thought it was VERY interesting.

I just checked wwe.com and they seem to have slightly redone the site. There are new tabs on the main page for Features, Industry News, Photos, and Videos.

Well, I clicked on "Industry News" and there are many stories from various wrestling related websites (such as wrestlezone) which I found interesting since WWE doesn't seem to like these websites.

And not only that...there's a story on wwe.com from wrestlezone about TNA Lockdown! Right on wwe.com! Clicking on any of the links brings the articles right on wwe.com

Umm...:wtf:?

Anyways, yeah, that's odd. Is this going to be another of their five-minute attempts to cater to the IWC?

Either way it'll be taken down as soon as they accidentally link to a site that has something critical of Stephanie or HHH.

Lol, someone's gonna get fired...Or Kurt Angle has gotten really good with computers

WWE realise that even if they advertise TNA for free, the few people who do watch it because of the ads will quickly turn away from TNA never to spend money on them again.

Damnit beat me to it.

...What?

Xero 02-29-2008 10:54 AM

Vince, Triple H and Stephanie are going to be pissed as fuck and someone is getting canned. They HATE dirt sheets, and there's no way in hell they approved that.

Xero 02-29-2008 10:56 AM

What's worse is that Matt Boone now has a national platform.

I think you are on to something...In fact, WWE wants more people to go check out TNA right now, so when they see how god-awful it is they will never want to watch it again.

It's destroying TNA...by promoting TNA.

Xero 02-29-2008 10:58 AM

<s>Just incase</s> For when it's taken down, here's a screen shot.

Is there seriously a link to Rajah on WWE.com?

Kane Knight 02-29-2008 11:45 AM

This is going to last for a while, since Vince, Steph, and Trips never read the website or watch the programming.

McLegend 02-29-2008 11:54 AM

Are we in some alternative world?

If you plan on buying something, don't forget to bring an ultraviolet light.

NeanderCarl 02-29-2008 02:12 PM

Maybe WWE has been praying all along for TNA to provide them with a bit of competition to bumpstart the next big boom, and seeing how inept they have proven so far, despite a pretty starry roster, they've decided to give them a helping hand... for the greater good of the wrestling business.

That, or Michael Cole is pissed off bad at having to work with Coach and is wreaking vengeful havoc.

NeanderCarl 02-29-2008 02:24 PM

Also, think about it... by "flattering" the more popular news sites, WWE may be hoping for a more positive portrayal of the company by these sites, for fear of them losing their credits on WWE.com or even sheer embarrassment that somebody over at WWE is actually, definitely reading their site and not wanting to upset anyone.

Wonder how neutral Rajah, for example, will be from now on?

Won't really matter, all the sites WWE.com quotes from just steals the news from the big three sites anyway.

NeanderCarl 02-29-2008 05:08 PM

Won't TNA have something to say about WWE using their copyrights (PPV names, gimmicks etc) on their website?

SammyG 02-29-2008 05:14 PM

lol what the fuck this is so confusing. WHY WOULD THE WWE DO THIS.

Mr. Pierre 02-29-2008 05:16 PM

This is very very very odd. WTF is goin on

Lord-Of-Darkness 02-29-2008 05:31 PM

Hmm, how strange...

Avenger 02-29-2008 05:33 PM

it's fucking genius!

WWE is pissed at all the big wrestling news sites which account for so much online wrestling traffic. What they're doing is first and foremost trying to detract people from going to those sites for their wrestling news, come to WWE.com and thus WWE can begin to control the wrestling dirtsheets industry, stopping all these rumors like Jericho's return being revealed early. We know Steph is pissed at this.

However this probably won't work.

Secondly they are simply trying to take a chunk of the online wrestling fan traffic and bring it to WWE.com to increase ad revenue, merchandise sales and interest in their product. Mainly casual fans or non-IWC wrestling fans will visit WWE.com, there are many many fans who do not visit WWE.com and simply maintain an interest in TNA and RoH. But if WWE.com can get word out they are more IWC friendly and attract these people then there are rewards for this.

That's my take.

NeanderCarl 02-29-2008 05:40 PM

My take, I guess, is that WWE knows TNA isn't a threat, so who the fuck cares? It's a bigger story to me that they are linking stories from internet newsboards in general, who are the scourge of the wrestling business in their eyes.

Indifferent Clox 02-29-2008 05:40 PM

ROH is on there. That's awesome.
Also I hope someone puts up smackdown spoilers if this is a hack.
