TNA Vs. WWE

[Mic]

Mic the highest paid TNA wrestler is Sting on 500,000 us a year and the lowest paid is around $300 per show. Dixie Carter who is the president of TNA is the daughter of the owner of Panda Energy. Spike TV also pays the wrestlers salaries to improve TNA. But getting some of these former WWE stars is helping build TNA . A few of these stars were also in WCW also and you need the old stars to help make way for the new stars and to build and teach. IF we didn't have Angle help Samoa Joe we would more than likely end up with more crappy wrestlers like Hulk Hogan and John Cena. I am a Ric Flair fan more than hogan Flair could wrestle a mop and make the mop look good.

I don't reckon those wrestlers getting paid $300 per show would agree that so many of the former WWE stars are helping build TNA.
I'm not sure how Angle has "helped Somoa Joe".

Publicity and attention they wouldn't get otherwise?

[Wedgie]

Must admit I only had a look at TNA because I knew Sting was with the but I soon got hooked on what the rest of the roster did.
Its a good point by Rod, a lot of people will just tune into TNA as they know Booker T, Kurt Angle, Sting, Kevin Nash, etc are there and then get hooked when they seel the quality of the other wrestlers.
Its also helping build an interesting story line at the moment with Samoa Joe which has split fans.

True, but it does also make the company look like its full of WWE rejects.
Hiring ex-WWE has-beens/duds like VKM, Tyson Tomko, Matt Morgan, Phatu, Andrew 'Test' Martin, Black 'Goldust' Reign and others who noone cares about doesn't help.

Actually most of those wrestlers you named I quite liked and I'd prefer them over most of the 90% of the WWE wrestler.
The only one's who have got worse are VKM, I used to like the New Age Outlaws when they were with DX but those 2 have basically gone nowhere the only difference being that instead of being at the top of the tree they're just undercarders now.
IMHO the X division makes TNA, I used to be a huge fan of the lucidores in WCW but WWE never used them the way they should be used. Christ, they even turned Rey Myterio into boring to watch (even though my son still loves him, same old moves)
If TNA ever poaches Hornswaggle then I'll give up on TNA.

Hornswaggle... yet another reason why the
WWE SUCKS!!!
Cheesy, cliche evil lerechaun character who appeared from under the ring during Belfast's own Dave Finlay matches!
At first it was mildly amusing, specially when Michael Cole labelled him the 'Little Bastard'
The novelty however quickly wore off!
Typically the WWE in all their wisdom, overused the character (ie. Vince McMahon's illegitimate son angle)
But what's worse was they gave him a stupid name like 'Hornswaggle'
For a leprechaun?
The name sounds about as Irish as Rikishi Fatu!

The name sounds about as Irish as Rikishi Fatu!

He's another that joined TNA but was only around for a month and has been missing again. Name change to Junior Fatu.
If he's Junior Fatu I'd hate to see the size of Senior Fatu!

He disappeared around the time he was supposed to be in an NWA(i think) show in Perth .I could be wrong about the fed but he was supposed to be in a perth show .

One of the best highlights of TNA in the early years is Hogan in japan saying in a TV interview how he was joining TNA etc.and JJ coming threw the door and bashing the crap out of him .
The only thing with the above WWE rejects is that seen on TNA they can Wrestle which they were not allowed to do on WWE.

[Strawb]

WWE wrestlers wrestle the WWE way no other way that is why they didn't take Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, etc etc these guys wrestle their way and the wwe didn't like it.

[Westsider]

I'm a UFC nut so im unbiased.

I find it amusing however that ECW rates .2 points higher than TNA Impact each week.

ECW gets 1.3 average, and TNA is 1.1

I used to d/l Raw and TNA... now I just stick to UFC.

Chris Daniels did actually work for WWE for a bit (back when he had hair!) around 98. His size doesn't suit what they want. AJ Styles was offered a crap deal by WWE a few years ago and didn't take it (good decision). Joe doesn't take steriods so he's not wanted by WWE.

[Strawb]

all true and they wanted joe for umunga

All I can say is its everyones choice which one they prefer.
Killings already had a run in the WWE as hardcore champ.Harris hasn't been inspiring in months .
And the best match from last weeks PPV was Kong Vs Kim .The rematch was also the mainevent on this weeks Impact but I wont spoil who won.

WWE will always be bigger it gets the young kids in. Tna will be more popular with the older kids up .
It just depends on what your children like ,me I am going to EPW A to see Mikey .Because my youngest wants to see him live again but as the NWA champ. The same would apply re WWE and TNA if your kids wanna see on you go to that one.

Cheers

Must admit I'll miss 'The Truth', liked his work, glad Chris Harris is going, he was annoying, I was disappointed when he got a good run in TNA.

Agreed fully.

Just watched the latest episode with my son which actually had a Women's Champsionship match as its main event.
Incredible match between Awesome Kong and Gail Kym.
Just shows how innovative and being prepared to give new things a go TNA are, didn't havea woman's division 2 months ago and now its their main event.
Great stuff.
Total Nonstop Action is so apt. Im just glad its a two hour show these days as it seems to take about 15 mins to watch its that action packed.
