Vince McMahon on TNA: "I don’t think that’s what the culture wants these days"

As for my opinion of the product, the non-wrestling aspect that both companies feature is much more coherent and tolerable in WWE. Storylines, fueds, booking, and the overall meaning behind everything is more clear-cut and logical in the WWE. Production value hasn't even entered the conversation yet, but I won't go there. That's just my view though, and you don't have to agree. But claiming that TNA is heavier on wrestling than WWE would be false. So your point that it's like comparing saturday night live to a football match only holds relevance if Saturday Night Live contains more football than the football match.

I didnt mention the amount of wrestling, Im talking about the actual wrestling matches themselves, and the content of them.

TNA's production value is worse than WWE, but it is improving. Noone expects TNA to become massive overnight, so we have to judge by the direction the companies are headed.

Apart from maybe 2 fueds I couldnt care less about WWE at the moment and its coming up to 'Mania. Theres just more stuff I want to watch on TNA right now, Hogan is on TV less and less, Bischoff is still awesome on the mic, plus RVD without the restrictions on moveset and character might go somewhere. I'm enjoying the nostalga of TNA right now, theres some promise to it as well. WWE, well all they have promised is that PG is here to stay.

Its all subjective, I'm fed up w/ PG TV.

Hogan is not on TV less and less, but whatever. I'm glad you can enjoy that but I can't. I don't think anything about their wrestling is any better.
I'd much rather see Jericho, Punk, Morrison and the rest of the Smackdown roster in matches that go somewhere and often times feature finishes.

I can't remember the last time a WWE ppv ended with a slapstick Benny Hill segment, and a title challenger being happy that he got screwed out of the belt. As long as he gets to pose with Hogan, that's the real victory right?
And he doesn't even get a rematch or a fued continuation. He just moves on.

The ring action often doesn't do anything for me there, because the fueds don't mean anything, and there isn't really any storyelling going on in there. AJ and Abyss can work, but there's just not much to it other than that. It's just TNA talent pool matchup #50480283403.

Aside from the stuff Angle does, I'm usually not interested. And Angle's fueds and angles don't do any favors. He's just so damn good in the ring that he is able to elevate guys for the time they're in the ring with him. After that, TNA doesn't seem to do anything with them.
