What does TNA need to do to make WWE legitimately concerned?

They are doing what they need to do pretty much.

And starting before 'mania isnt neccessarilly a bad thing. There is going to be an adjustment period as they "find their feet", and despite doing poor numbers now, wresting in general gets a lot of promotion this time of year. It should mean that by the time mania is over and WWE tends to get very lazy just after mania. I.e. wrestlemania rematches all night for the next ppv. It shoud mean that by the time people are ready to change the channel to watch wrestling, TNA will be there ready to take them as viewers, they'll have had some practise at live production, and it has to be said, the production value has increased significantly since they first went head to head.

They should also be sure of where they want to go by then.

I think its a good move tbh. Pus Spike seems to be behind them in that they arent that worried about ratings yet. Spike seems prepared to give them some time to get results.

A it needs is for Raw to get lazy 2 or 3 weeks in a row (which has happened a lot in recent years) and peope wil start to change the channel, and inevitibly som eof those people will keep watching.

It takes time to see things happen, Vince hasnt understood that in years, he changes his mind every 30 seconds (so it is reported, aso, figure of speach). Just ook at how many anges or ideas have been simpy dropped. never to be seen again. Don't cryme time stil have a tag title shot owed to them?

Not saying in the sightest that TNA are perfect, there is still too much Hogan for my liking but each to their own. At least he seems to take a back seat to Abyss, however insincere it comes accross.

One thing I loved about TNA this week, I haven't seen a dragon suplex pin in years. The wresting is just better to watch on TNA.
