So Has TNA Completely Given Up On Competing With The WWE

[StatUS]

This whole new PPV concept almost assures that they never wanna be on that level. Not a bad thing though as long as they're successful and people are happy to be there.

We all know The E needs competition to be a better product but obviously TNA wants no part of that. I even hear they mention WWE on their programming
But the best thing is that now they might be a better product with that monkey off their back. Might have to set the DVR up this Thursday

lack of competition is why wrestling will be dead 10 yrs from now


its already on life support

Nah, they just gonna compete with NXT first and work their way up

 

[I-Hate-You]

I'd say so. You don't really hear any of them mention the competition these days. Hogan still cuts those best/hottest promotion in the world promos, but that's about it.

Tenay mentions WWE every week. It almost sounds like its on purpose.

Money/Ratings/Elaborate light and screens wise the only thing similar to wrestling that can be competition to the WWE is UFC and HBO/PPV Boxing. Entertainment wise of course is a whole different story.

I enjoy multiple wrestling companies but no wrestling company can go against the WWE machine nowadays. I mean think about it they got like 6 shows now plus ppvs, it's crazy.

The majority of wrestling fans aren't gonna support a company in large amounts if their name isn't WWE anyway. No point in even trying to go down that road anymore, I like the ideas TNA has been coming up with. Hope they keep finding ways to separate themselves from the WWE. I want to enjoy both like I enjoy other companies because they are unique and complete different from each other whether it be because of the characters, feuds, matches, or whatever else.

did they ever really have a chance

This, and I'm a TNA fan.

Some reasons:

1. They're on Spike - if they really want to compete, they have to be on a better/bigger network.

2. Advertising - has anybody ever seen a commercial for Impact? Do they even have an advertising budget? It's so bad that Impact is rarely advertised on Spike.

3. Impact Zone - they have to start taping Impact on the road because the crowd at the Impact Zone is terrible.
