TNA has had some great matches like the ult X the americas cup and matches like the AMW- XXX cage match and Jarrett-Raven among many others. I think by this time next year we will see if TNA is for real

I agree that the qulaity of matches are spectacular, but there are several facotrs to consider as to why TNA cannot compete with WWE at the present moment.
Mainly though:
1. The majority, if not all of TNA's roster are composed of open contract superstars; meaning they're competing in indy feds as well as TNA, and Jerry Jarrett can terminate their contracts without losing money.
2. TNA's focus in on matches for the most part. Promos and angles aren't as consistent as on a WWE program. The average "mark" (note the difference between a "smark" and a "mark") is interested in entertainment even if it means deviating from the traditional wrestling aspect by including redundant angles, prolonged promos, and boobies
.
3. TNA is struggling financially due to several expeditures: signing big names such as Hogan, Piper, Sting, Dusty, etc. to open contracts agreed to only a few appearances, high productions values which was obvious if you watched Impact, and the fall of weekly PPV buyrates.
