WWE vs TNA Competition or Not

By -
Yesterday I came across an article on Yahoo.com where the author gave his take on well the current state of competition in pro-wrestling. Which it doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that well TNA is nowhere near competing with WWE not because of the air product but it's the fan base. WWE has been around for longer which gives them to bigger fan base that is common knowledge. But TNA closing in on the plateau set by WCW and I don't mean ratings I mean that TNA is nearing 13 years. That is the amount of time that WCW stayed in business before being sold to the WWE. I think that even though TNA has had their problems over the last 11 years it would still damage the business very much if they were bought by WWE. I think it would really hurt the business if TNA went out of business even though I have disliked how TNA operated, on and off for the last 11 years and I have even hoped that they went out of business. I honestly never thought of it looking at what's best for the business but now I am and it's true if TNA were to go out of business it would hurt the business dearly. If you don't why well it's because it would take away a place to work for guys were they could make decent money and get exposure.

Also the article talks about three things TNA has could to compete with WWE and I completely disagree with most of them, but then I thought why don't I give it a try: below are 3 things I think TNA could do to compete with WWE.

1. Continue with what they are doing- TNA's overall product has changed for the better over the last year. If it's input from Eric Bischoff, Bruce Pritchard's new ideas or Hogan not wrestling. It could also be a combo of all three but whatever it is it is definitely helping TNA.

2. Heavily Market to UK- For as long as I can remember TNA has always had a big market in the UK with fans. That is why they travel to England and do shows their & most likely sell out more often then not. So TNA should maybe try pushing an English wrestler to be World champion to really boost that market.

3. Get their guys names out there- If WWE gets behind a guys and starts pushing them it's only a matter of time before they are seen on late night TV shows. But that's something TNA needs to learn how to do so they can phase out the legends and have younger guys with some name value replace them. Also stop depending on the WWE name value for talent and start pushing the TNA banner with talent. Get them on late night shows, throwing out the first pitch, announcing a basketball game or racing match. There is an endless number of things TNA could do to get their talent notice but it's just a matter of if they will do it.

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo...

Spring Cleaning Coming Early!!!!

As of this writing there are rumors going through WWE that Zack Ryder could be on his way out of WWE not only with other people but he could be asking for his release in the very near future. As he has hinted on more then one occasion that he is frustrated with how WWE has been using him. At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push ...
