Well yeah.
TNA fans can't justify that they're fanboys. That's okay, there are WWE fanboys too. They're like marks on steroids, just like a company likes them: Dumb and rabid.
A lot of these guys worship TNA because it's an alternative. Most of them, as such, cannot actually give you specifics even. Most of the arguments I've had on TNA's own message board don't even bother to bring up either the good wrestlers or the staples: They could go for Daniels, Sabin, Styles, etc. But their defense will always be "Yeah, like your precious WWE is any better?"
The default assumption is that you're a WWE fanboy just because you have problems with TNA. It's like it's a conspiracy--The only reason TNA doesn't have 5.0 ratings is because some "Bad apples" at home don't care enough to watch and everyone else is jjust following along...
They don't want to admit that spots are not enough for most people. They don't want to admit that Jarrett is a severe deterrent. They don't want to admit that TNA makes some seriously shitty booking/purchase decisions. They don't want to admit that most people like drama in their wrestling. They don't want to admit most of these things, because they don't know the product beyond "ZOMG! It's not WWE!" And think everyone'll just jump on the bangwagon because of that alone.
TNA makes some really stupid decisions. And so does WWE. WWE can afford it: They are the alpha male, the leader in ratings, and the watermark of current wrestling entertainment.
People will watch WWE because they've grown up with it, it's been around, and they know the people. They can work in ways TNA cannot, becase they need to establish themselves
Triple H can afford tol hold down talent because he's a name, he makes appearances on Letterman and O'Brien, casual fans are more likely to know him, etc. JJ cannot do the same because he was a midcard jobber who lost to Chyna and hasn't been a household name since...Errr...Line?
Hate to say it, but WWE can afford to give Hogan and Flair title shots. TNA can't afford to give Nash a title shot. And that's not even counting the tricep tear he'd get hoisting the title.
WWE can afford to be a lot dumber, so when they bring this shit up, they lose.
