WWE has just as many flaws as TNA...

It's just that TNA has 2 hours to work with per week and WWE has 6.

No; it's that while WWE may have as many flaws as TNA, they have way more strengths to bring the overall quality back up.

If that's true, then what we are dealing with here is the same case where the WWF had lesser ratings than WCW, but Raw was a better show. I guess in the end it doesn't really matter what flaws we think either company has.

I'd also add that WWE can survive more flaws since they are a bigger company and have a longer association with wrestling and the mainstream public than TNA, RoH, or other smaller Indy feds.

If WWE was as poor as TNA w/ 6 hours of time to promote the crap, it would still be crap.

HBM said it right, the WWE has more strengths, plus a much better marketing department...

I disagree with the notion that WWE has as many flaws. However, both are pretty flawed, so it's still nto a huge feather in WWE's cap. However, some of their flaws really are overcome by their size and backing. TNa, if established, could afford more mistakes. WWE, if starting out or smaller, could not.

EDIT: The first part is not aimed at you, SM. Just the premise of the thread.

As as far as WWE shows are concerned, I consider SmackDown! their best show so far, compared to RAW, NXT, and Superstars. Mainly because it's more wrestling-based.

O.K. here is my take in a nutshell. The way I see it, TNA is not the competition, it is simply an alternative. It really reminds me of when people compare Wrestling vs. MMA. You cannot compare the two, you simply CANNOT. It is the same with TNA vs. WWE. All be it they are "wrestling shows," however Vince doesn't consider his product to be "wrestling" but entertainment instead. The production value, the corporate muscle, ect.. behind the WWE is far greater than that of TNA.

With that being said, TNA is headed in a different direction, trying to distinguish themselves as something other than just wrestling. I personally don't like it, but who knows, maybe they can do a good job at it. Only time will tell for sure.

Who's injured besides Punk and HHH? I know Zeke is but he doesn't really count..

I will say this, you can bash WWE all you want but the churn in talent roster that they've had in the last 2 or 3 years and being able to establish guys like Sheamus, Miz, Bourne, McIntyre, The Nexus, Ziggler and maybe Zack Ryder while not really losing much is pretty impressive.

How can you not compare them when TNA tries to salvage everything WWE has ever thrown away and tries to copy any of the good ideas they've ever had? Are you kidding me? TNA is begging to be compared to WWE.

What in the fuck are you trying to say to me right now?

Of course they can be compared. TNA tries to emulate the WWE on a weekly basis. They're constantly being compared. TNA just pales in comparison because their management is autistic. They aren't trying to do anything different besides trying new innovative ways to fail with old recycled ideas. They pick up WWE's trash in every way imaginable, and instead of recycling it, they just place it in a smaller dumpster in Orlando.

They can be compared, they are being compared, and they absolutely fucking suck in comparison, despite all of the wonderful things they have to work with.

I wish Narc wasn't right.

Unfortunately this is almost the way it has to be. TNA is always going to feel like they are in competition with the WWE, and it seems that the only way they think they can do that is to bring in already established stars with name recognition. Despite the fact they they created a select few stars themselves, usually WWE's trash is their treasure.

I'd imagine they hope to bring over viewers from WWE to themselves - something that having wrestlers your target is already familiar with makes easier, as an initial lure at least.

I'm not gonna try to point to anything TNA is doing that might be original, because I know better. I'm sure that no matter what I say, someone will have a youtube video ready from somewhere between 1952 and now, showing the WWE having already done something somewhat similiar.
Sure you could say that TNA is just recycling WWE stuff, but when WWE has already done so many different angles, I'm almost entirely sure that the WWE is just recycling WWE stuff.

So you are either;

saying that WWE are spreading them out over 6 hours so they are less noticeable which is quite clever considering they make money out of it.

or TNA are too stupid to remove their flaws from their limited TV time

I don't think we have learned anything new.

Thats far too simplistic. Yes, they have creative say, but they're not lacing up the boots (anymore) and especially in McMahon's case, they're not the ones putting pen to paper.

I really hate how some people have this giant issue with McMahon. Yes, he loves hosses. Yes, he's greenlit some pretty shitty ideas. But he's also presided over some fantastic wrestling, and played a damn good character on air to boot. I'd venture a bet that if it wasn't for him a good portion of the posters here wouldn't be into wrestling, myself included.

All things go through McMahon. He signs off on everything. He is super hands on.

I don't hate Vince McMahon at all, I just think he is more preoccupied with sponsers and celebrities then with putting on a good product. I respect the man for what hes done in the past, but he is turning WWE into what HE wants to see instead of what wrestling fans want to see. You cant blame a big dude like Khali for taking Vinces money to stand there and chop people in the head if Vince is going to pay him for it.

As for TNA, I guess there are more problems there then just Russo, but I really just dont like the guy. That place needs to find a direction and stick to it, instead of running all over the place with storylines.
