TNA aren’t trying to ‘create a rivalry’ between them and the WWE. They are simply scoring cheap points over them, just to try and make themselves look ‘better’ when actually looking cheap and pathetic.

I agree, Raw has become a comedy-skit centeral. But you must also understand that this is a planned move by the company. They’ve finally worked out that they can use their three shows for different things.

Even if Raw has become, as you called it, ‘cheap parodies and references to pop culture’, at least WWE aren’t trying to make themselves look better by taking constant jabs at TNA.

SIDE NOTE, NOT FOR CARL: I’m so sick of hearing about how WWE makes jabs at other ‘entertainment companies’. The column I wrote was about a wrestling company taking jabs at other wrestling companies. Not because Vince McMahon made a mountain out of a mole hill about E.Stanly Kroenke. So please stop replying with ‘well Vince does it to the NBA’ and other stuff. I simply won’t reply to you.

i understand that TNA commits this act much more frequently than WWE
but where TNA’s motive is to create some exciting rivalry (now that SD, Raw and ECW all fall under seperate categories) recognising in my opinion that they’re taking this risk, Vince makes his rare occasion moments look so petty and pointless; especially when the motive is revealled.
WWE’s goal for the majority is instead trying to connect to the audience through varying cheap parodies and references to popular culture which hardly makes Raw a wrestling product.

I am however disappointed at TNA’s sharkboy and Palin gimmicks and both companies stereo typing of Shaun Daivari.

But it’s great to see wrestling fans voicing opinions on a very controversial issue.

I’d like to thank you all for replying (and the many, I’m sure who will) and I’d like to thank WrestlingTruth for allowing me the time for this column. The next one should be along soon.

Until then, keep checking back to WrestlingTruth. But, don’t forget to take a peek at NWE-Entertainment – my E-Fed!

I really don’t see the problem. The Original (and only) ECW, ECW, ECW used to constantly rip on WCW and WWE and it was not a big deal at all. It’s good fodder for story lines, something which WWE has forgotten how to come up with.

Look Matt, I see your point that TNA should stop wasting there time with the little cheap shots at the competition and worry about what’s happening in there little neck of the woods, but WWE is really giving them alot more ammo (with the shit that they are churning out atm) which they choose not to use. They are little jabs and really don’t effect anybody.

I, like the person above am a die hard WWE fan, but more to the point I’am a “Wrestling” fan and have been a big fan of what TNA is doing since I started watching in 04′. I just can not stomach WWE anymore and really the only WWE programming I can watch is dvd’s. I’m really enjoying TNA atm (past 5 years) and if they think that taking little shots at there competition is what they need to do, more power to them.

With all the crap that is said about the 2 companies not been in competition you have to remember at the end of the day… They ARE! And WWE/F for the past 25 years or so has done alot worse to every other company that they have come up against.

Don’t sweat the small stuff people?
