WWE

Good:
The talent they've brought up lately have all been tremendous with the Shield and Wyatts being prime examples. Now you are almost guaranteed a great match involving them on every show.
While the booking and finishes are sometimes left to be desired, the in ring work has been fantastic lately. Also, I'd call you crazy if you told me in 2004 that CM Punk and Bryan Danielson would dominate airtime on RAW.

Bad:
Too many angles get dropped for no reason, taking the audience for granted. A lot of the same guys have been in the main event for too long, making it stale. If Cena did what Orton did and go back down to the midcard to work an angle with someone, people wouldn't be as hard on his character.
Also, Triple H and Stephanie have spent the last 5 months getting heat on themselves instead of putting it on Orton, who turned into a cross between Johnny Lawrence and an overgrown overexplaining man-child. Also, stop heating up Big Show at the expense of other talent, he isn't going to happen.

TNA

Good:
I like the behind the scenes cost cutting they've done. The ratings will always be in that .9-1.1 range, so why not build new stars instead of trotting out the same guys over and over while paying them high amounts for low dates. This way they can stop the bleeding and try to make the company presentable for investors if the Carters want to sell off a part of TNA.

Bad:
Too many angles and matches are supposed to have HUGE IMPLICATIONS but don't mean anything two weeks later. Way too much Dixie Carter on TV, she isn't good and someone that bad shouldn't take up that much time.
Stop trying to be sports entertainment. Be pro wrestling and be a true alternative to WWE, rather than "WWE Lite - Less Filling". They do a few solid shows then do something stupid.
Also, stop copying look for look other TV shows. They make it way too obvious that the writers just started watching a hit show, whether it's Sons of Anarchy or Dexter. I can't wait for Joseph Park to get cancer and start cooking meth with Eric Young.
