TNA can beat WWE.
TNA should focus on becoming a WRESTLING company through and through. Now, when the business goes through a period in which casual fans are drawn in en masse(ex: the Attitude Era) then WWE will domnate. But when the business goes thru a down turn, wrestling smarks and smarts will want the company with the better wrestling, while the casuals will just go away. Thus, if TNA is the legit WRESTLING company, it will get better ratings. Big names are good, but they aren't necessary. Look at ECW. Back in 1995-1997(before they began to regularly air PPVs) they had only one wrestler who had good national recognition- Terry Funk. Sure, Foley was there but he really didn't hit a stride until coming to WWE. ECW was built up through quality wrestling and a strong fan base(which TNA desperately needs).
