Not only is TNA considered WWE Lite, but it just went from the RAW look to the Smackdown look

I don't know what buying up billboards in Stamford, CT is supposed to be a sign of, maybe TNA telling WWE "we want your building to", but this is just getting out of hand.

And if you read the spoilers for this weeks show, TNA has the Smackdown look with WCW storylines. It's pathetic. You can not defend this ? of a wrestling company.

    We can look forward to watching TNA content on WWE Classics if they don't smarten up soon. Lack of originality but it does look better.

    Okay we all know Raw ain't having it's best days but it beats Sting being your company's champ in 2011, 90 second PPV main events, and going down the same path using the same people that called the shots for a company that closed 10 years ago.

    Looks like WCW Thunder to me.

    WWE can "do no wrong" with their brainwashed fanbase, even though they are wrong and putting on bad shows.

    The WWE has been around for so long, it doesn't matter if the product is stale, dull, and wretched. They have margin for error and even if they don't correct their own error, so what...they keep it moving, because they are so large, they can just cover up any mistakes they make and everyone will forget about it.

    TNA on the other hand had ZERO margin of error. A lot of people wish they would succeed so there could be another battle of originality between two wrestling companies, but they don't know what the hell they're doing to even be considered a nuisance to WWE. And no one will ever take them seriously as long as they continue to reuse WWE/WCW castoffs, storylines, and everything else that's been done before.

    What TNA is trying to do is confuse a channel flipper into thinking the WWE has another show by using their throw away talent and colors. The difference between the two is worse writing, worse company management and direction, and name. They want to hold people to watch the stuff they do by associating their wrestlers and colors to the WWE. That's why "original" talent won't get the spotlight in the main event. People won't watch because they aren't used to seeing new faces, unless it's WWE. To the mainstream, there is only one wrestling company, and that's WWE. So it only makes sense for TNA to "borrow" whatever they can within legal boundaries to look like WWE as much as they can, so someone will be confused enough to stop and watch, using familiar faces that were once in the WWE.

    You take snippets so i'll do the same TNA isnt perfect but it beats
    1. Michael Colon sucking miz's ? every second of his life.
    2. Dashing Cody being even more ? by accident than Orlando Jordan on purpose
    3. Hornswoggle vs An Eagle match
    4. Michael Cole feuding with lawler and making comments about dead relatives (even if Lawler cowrote this angle himself it's in bad taste overall)
    5. Diva matches so horrible that i actually rather see Michael Colon interrupt it or Awesome Mark Henry...
    6. Super Cena
    7.A non existant tag team division
    8. And you actually have TWO stables weaker than TNA's 4chan and Immortal
    9. Steve Job Gm
    10. Botch Cara
    11. I won't even bring up Orton and Christian on Smackdown situation ...
    12. it's 2011 and OLD ASS TAKER while not being as old as Sting is as beat up body wise as Hogan in a wheelchair vs HHH aint wrestle since 2009 both having better matches than anyone else at Wm 27 after almost not wrestling for an entire year? (says alot about your current roster)

    and this is who you rock with?
    why?
    better ratings and production?
    WWE sells more?
    you want to use he 50 cent logic thats cool..

    someone has to be the best of pure dog ? then yes I agree WWE is on top someone has to be on top if they had a 50 year head start at least right?

    then by the same logic UFC >>> WWE also.

    btw, how are Smackdown's cable ratings doing these days compared to Impact?

    Another funny thing is you keep saying it's wcw 2000 then it's wwe lite.. which is it? (thats like the Jay-z line "is it oochie wally wally or is it one mic is black girl lost or shawty owe you for ice?).. you are contradicting yaself in the worst way without even knowing it...
    is it black or white or you telling me it's mixed?

    I'll get to mally G's post next hold on...

    ok first of all I'll say this is a well articulated argument you have presented but..

    1. If you're truly a fan of either wwe or tna or whatever you will NATURALLY see the brighter side NO MATTER what. You can call it WWECWCW all you want, all i see is improvement.

    2. As long as panda is backing up TNA and cares about it it doesnt matter, TNA will last long. WCW didnt die due to poor business, it died to AOL-Warner not giving a ? anymore which happened to coincide at the same time as WCW's ratings going down to the floor (BTW Smackdown and Impact are more comparable imo than Impact and RAW at this point)

    3. you made a lot of assumptions, people think for themselves at the end of the day, there is no general feeling ... this is different from what may be a majority feeling, you might have a majority opinion, but at the same time it doesn't make it right and at the end of he day your viewpoint of "TNA trying too hard" just shows that you are watching this company very closely hater/fan or both. i wouldn't even had known about this if you didn't bring it up so as a wrestling fan you're just doing your part regardless.

    AJ was the champ for four months, last year, so your point is a fail.
    He can't be Cena and hold the title all year long.

    LOL @ WWE is better? why cuz it's your opinion?

    You coulda said ? porn is better, but I'm not gonna agree with you just cuz you feel that way..

    Split the facts from opinions but you can keep yours bruh.

    Ur wasting ur time dude, like I said WWE ain't having it's best days I don't like the fact the tag division is pretty much non existence, charging too much for PPVs, Vince trying to get away from the term "wrestling", and how theres hardly much actual wrestling on Raw and the cheap title wins and runs and yes the Cole/King thing needs to be put to bed. All of us wrestling fans want TNA to do well but they make it so hard to like them due to some of the things I mentioned earlier. With WWE on their PG ish the door is wide open for TNA to standout but yet they push and sign a bunch of past their prime has beens and WWE dead weight nobody cares to see and they don't really make their own stars.

    TNA was much better when it was on PPV every week and Fox Sports. It had it's own unique feel, the X division was exciting, and although there were some WWE rejects in the main event picture at the time they were still creating their own stars, and the matches were great. If they got back to that instead of trying to relive the attitude era they would be in much better shape right now and getting more than 10k buys for their PPVs.

    It's some trash going on with both companies, I want both to do better I'm a wrestling fan I don't have an alligance to a fed, I just wanna see a good product and TNA is inferior at this time and it's more of their own damage.

    I'm not digging the colors either, I think (impo) that it should be yellow and black. It does give off that WWF Smackdown reminder and that's what you DON'T want when you're a competing company.

    It looks better, but it does look like Smackdown.
