Here's the thing though, no matter how bad the WWE gets, TNA wont benefit because they aren't on the map. I have plenty of friends who I would consider casual wrestling fans (ie they were watching when Austin and Rock were hot but have since left) and they've never heard of TNA.

WCW when they were trying to compete with WWE had years and years on a major cable network, and ran PPVs and house shows just like the WWE. TNA is on a lousy station in a horrible time slot, so nobody knows they exist (outside their loyal following that order their weekly PPVs).

So even if the WWE starts putting out an even worse product, its not like the fans are waiting to switch to TNA, they have no idea it exists. Unless they were to get a prime time TV slot, this will never change.
