Like others said TNA will never be able to complete with WWE, and neither will anyone else. Fact is WWE is a juggernaut that is unstoppable at this point in the wrestling world.
TNA's best bet is too focus on a demographic that they already have, the smarky "WWE is shit" crowd. There's a cornucopia of people that complain about the WWE being too PG and not being entertaining because there's no blood and whatnot. If TNA focuses on those idiots they'll have a pretty decently sized fanbase that could keep them running for years to come. Downside is that that same fanbase isn't going to grow either, so they'd better be happy with a consistent but mediocre rating.
Option two would be to focus on bringing in international talent (which they seem to be testing out) and putting focus on a more fast paced and energetic product than WWE. Essentially focusing on the X-Division. This, like the previous idea, would bring in a select audience that would give them consistent but mediocre ratings.
All in all TNA just needs to realize their limitations and be happy with what they can get, which all in all isn't really that bad. I mean they're still one of, if not the highest rated shows on Spike network, and honestly their ratings are decent for any average cable show in this age of DVRs.
As for Jerrett's promotion, they'll never equal WWE. I'd say they're in the same boat as TNA. Find a niche and stick with it.
