No, not in terms of booking, writing or production anyway. WWE and TNA have both done some horribly stupid things in recent years. WWE just has the benefit of a legacy and the $ to get away with it. Not to mention, their big surprises can actually be big with folks like Rock, HHH, Taker, HBK, Brock, Austin, Bret, etc. to call on from time to time.

With TNA, outside of Hogan, Angle and Sting, whom all have some kind of full time on-screen role, they have no other big names in wrestling to bring in. They can't really steal any game changing legends or talent away due to Hogan/Bischoff's poor history and the $ and influence of Vince/WWE.

Vince and WWE have a solid 30 year history of building stars like Hogan, Andre, Savage, HBK, Bret, Austin, Rock, HHH, Lesnar, etc. Why would an upcoming talent not want go to WWE and why would a WWE legend want to tarnish their legacy and possibly burn a bridge with Vince, etc.? WWE is not going anywhere anytime soon, TNA on the other hand, we really have no idea.

If however, you were to put WWE in the same situation as TNA in terms of money, history, legends, legacy, etc., I'd say they wouldn't be that far apart in terms of writing quality, wrestling quality and thus viewership/profits/success.
