50 Reasons why TNA Sucks, 30 Reasons why WWE is better
Not an up to date post since it was during the Hogan-Bischoff era. Things has been even worse since Hogan & Bischoff are gone from TNA iMPACT Wrestling. But it still illustrate how much TNA Wrestling sucks next to the almighty WWE. I’ve re-published a very interesting post written by Michael Imperzonal. The original link of this article is: http://wrestling-valley.blogspot.ca/2011/07/over-50-reasons-why-tna-sucks-and-over.html

their employees can’t stay out of trouble for 2 minutes-if it’s not Jeremy
Borash telling people they should “die”, it’s Jeff Hardy smashed out of his
gourd again, and now Kurt Angle arrested for the 3rd time in 4
years.

Reasons why WWE is better then TNA
Reasons why WWE is better then TNA
-
1) WWE
is the biggest & most successful company of it’s type in wrestling
history -
2) WWE
has been enjoying sell out business the past 7 weeks at RAW.. -
3)
WWE’s numbers for RAW have jumped dramatically (by around 1 million viewers)
since the… return of The Rock -
4)
WWE’s Tough Enough scored an excellent 3.3. rating for it’s debut
episode.. -
5) WWE
regularly outdraws Impact in it’s U.K. ratings, despite WWE being on a
subcription(pay) network, & impact airing on free TV -
6)
WWE’s Divas division is much stronger than the Knockouts, and that’s before
Amazing Kong even shows up -
7) WWE
draws HUGE ratings in Mexico 8) WWE regularly fills arenas with thousands of
seats, tna struggles to draw 1,000 even though it gives tickets
away -
8)
WWE’s biggest show Wrestlemania draws somewhere between 900, 000-1 million buys,
and packs around 70,000 people into huge arenas, while tna’s flagship
event-Bound for glory-is lucky to attract 20,000 buys and had to give away two
thirds of the 6,000 tickets(that’s 4000 people not paying) -
9) WWE
Superstars & programming is recognised throughout the world, many fans don’t
watch tna, or don’t even know it exists -
10) WWE
is seen in 120 countries, tna is only available to a small fraction of
those -
11) WWE
makes millions in revenue from advertising & merchandise, tna spends more
that it earns, and rarely makes much profit -
12) WWE
runs different arenas every week, tna is usually stuck for impact & most of
it’s ppvs in a small studio in Florida -
13) RAW
usually has anyhwere between 10-15 times larger crowds who are paying to get in,
than impact where they don’t -
14)
WWE has never featured 5 mins of wrestling in the first hour, unlike impact..15)
WWE’s pay-per-views have never featured a one minute main
event -
15) WWE
has never allowed someone currently up in court on drug possession charges to be
their World champion twice -
16)
WWE has never allowed someone who couldn’t even climb the ring steps to perform
in the main event of a pay-per-view -
17)
WWE has a drug testing policy with fines & suspensions for those who fail,
tna has nothing -
18) WWE
Superstars have crossed over into mainstream celebrity while with the company,
for example-The Rock, Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Chris Jericho & more..tna
has yet to create one cross over star.. -
19)In
it’s near 9 year history, tna has not created ONE huge star with cross over
appeal..Most are ex-WWE or WCW/ECW talent -
20)
WWE has policies in place to protect its performers from head dropping moves,
chair shots to the head, and more..tna does not, and in fact actively encourages
the overuse of “blading”(creating a cut, usually with a small piece of concealed
razor, to give the impression of an injury) which can spread
disease -
Average buyrate of monthly WWE ppvs around
200,000..average monthly buyrate of tna ppvs around 10,000 -
The
mainstream media has little or no awareness of tna, and often refers to members
of their roster in articles as “WWE stars” -
WWE
can actually pay there talent. TNA paid jersey shore talent Angelina 7000 for a
match. WWE gives er cast mate Snooki 200,000. - WWE is
a Global Phenomenon, travel all over the word, a different city every night, TNA
does every show in the same theater that gets 900 fans in attendance. (orlando
studios) - WWE
doesn’t put an already worthless title(the Knockouts belt) on a woman it knows
to be legitimately injured already(dislocated shoulder) like tna did with Mickie
James in another ppv non-match, which lasted just over 30 seconds..They now have
a new champion, who after months of losing, cannot actually defend the title she
“won” - WWE
has not in 2011 featured the same two people(namely Hogan & Bischoff,
neither of whom wrestle currently, mind you) coming out for the first fifteen
minutes of the show(impact) for what seems the past 10 weeks at least, and
basically cutting the same promo about how clever they are -
All of
tna’s current top headliners or people with most promo/screen time are in their
40s or 50s(Hogan, Bischoff, Sting, Flair, Angle, Jarrett, Foley,
etc.) -
tna’s
most recent ppv Lockdown featured matches between Angle v Jarrett, Mickie v
Madison, Morgan v Hernandez, Joe v Pope that had all taken place in some form or
another at least 5 or 6 times before in the past few months..the same matches
over and over-the very thing tna fans attack WWE for -
tna
fans love to deride WWE fans for Hornswoggle, yet tna’s Eric Bischoff is
involved in Half pint brawlers-an entire company of midget grapplers-which tna
promotes on it’s shows -
tna
fans also attack WWE fans for WWE’s “childish” storylines-yet in recent times
have featured storylines based around a “ring of power”(which featured a match
where wrestlers stumbled into a hole in the ring, like clowns), vanishing women
& “hypnotised” women -
WWE
doesn’t even acknowledge tna’s existence on TV..on impact, they can’t help
themselves every week, either mentioning, “Up North”, flashing their WWE Hall Of
Fame rings, or using WWE finishes suddenly in matches -
Michael
Cole & Vickie Guerrero don’t even wrestle,(most of the time) and they’re
both more over than any of the heels on impact
