WWE or TNA?

Which do you prefer?

I think TNA has been better in recent weeks. Magnus has been pushed to the moon. That's what the industry needs, a young gun in his first reign leading the charge.

EC3 also looks credible teaming with Roode and Magnus. I can see him going places.

They also have great talent. Roode, Storm, Aries, Tigre Uno, Sanada, the Wolves, it's awesome.

I love to think of potential returns. I'd love to see Christian Cage, Ric Flair and Rob Van Dam return to Impact.

When it comes to homegrown talent and backstage promos, I think TNA is king.

As far as in ring ability and more entertaining matches, TNA wins by miles. I like how they have those tournaments set up so you can see how each wrestler is progressing. It makes choosing a winner that much easier for the crowd. It's organized. Unfortunately, the main reason I am not into it is because of the quality of it. It's not as high quality as WWE is. I do watch it when I can though, and I wish it was bigger in a sense.

Reigns isn't ready yet and neither is Rollins. Cena only champion to put over Brock Lesnar as he's the only legit threat to Lesnar in WWE

I personally think WWE is better but then I've only ever watched a few TNA segments, never a full show. From what I've heard though WWE is actually a considerable amount better than TNA. There are a few interesting people on TNA but from what I've watched of it the overall presentation of TNA is really sub-par compared to WWE and they also seem to make some very strange decisions regarding their story-telling and building of specific wrestlers. Like they'll kill off feuds that would've benefited more from being longer, or one of their main heels will end up doing babyface spots (e.g. Bully Ray earlier this year) which confuses the whole dynamic when they're booked against up and coming wrestlers who they're trying to push as babyfaces.

I was listening to the Ross Report (JR's podcast) a couple of days ago and he was saying before the main podcast that he wanted TNA (and also Ring of Honor) to start thinking about improving the visual quality of their shows, like better graphics, better backstage areas, better props and all that just so that it looks a bit more professional because otherwise it makes all of the wrestling federations outside of WWE look amateur in comparison and if these smaller feds don't actually take all these factors into account and improve on them then it provides very little competition for WWE which actually has some damaging effects on them because they can kind of just sit on their laurels and feel like they don't need to do much to stay above the other companies.

What I do like about TNA though is that they do still have a bit of the freedom that WWE used to exercise when they weren't a PG show which I do miss but on the whole I think that TNA is a bit over-hyped when it's considered by people as WWE's rivals when they aren't anywhere near as big or broad reaching as WWE or even WCW was back in the day. Outside of a few wrestlers on the roster as well, like old WWE guys like Bully Ray, Jeff Hardy and Kurt Angle and possibly a couple of the knockouts I'm not really that impressed by most of their roster either because they mostly seem to appeal to a South USA audience which I can't relate to and are pretty generic overall.

I think this also supports your opinions. Solomonster Sounds Off is a great podcast. I'll post a clip from it.


This was based on the May-June tapings. However Solomonster does like TNA New York tapings. I do hate ROH production. I say the same for TNA. It looks like something from WCW early days. Which isn't good. Or a houseshow taping WWE occasionally do.

Here's Solomonster giving credit to TNA's New York tapings.

Listening to that clip I realised another thing. You can't actually compare WWE as a whole to TNA, because TNA is only about as good as WWE developmental. RAW and Smackdown are far out of TNA's league.

Take Xavier Woods for example. He wrestled in TNA as Consequences Creed and yet when he signs on to WWE he doesn't go right onto the main roster like you would do if you were a big star, he goes into NXT for 3 years because he isn't up to scratch. And also if you look at it the other way, Derrick Bateman (Ethan Carter III in TNA) only ever got as far as NXT in the WWE and yet when he goes to TNA he's a fairly big deal. It's not like a few years ago when TNA signed up Christian or Booker T or Kurt Angle off the back off their WWE runs, it's just some guy they picked up from NXT and even then NXT is still better than TNA by a long way. The presentation of that show is leagues ahead of TNA and it attracts the hardcore wrestling fans to the show and keeps them interested. They invest their energy into these guys even though they are developmental at that point whereas the TNA audience can't even be bothered to do that and that's the best they have.

With all due respect, there's no way you can make a fair assessment of the talent in TNA, and the quality of the show, if you've never even watched a show.

I'm not saying i'm making a fair assessment, I'm saying what I think based on what I know about it. There's a bit of a difference.

Not really. You're absolutely entitled to your opinion, but don't expect it to be taken seriously or to be worth anything other than zilch if you haven't watched a single show. There's no credibility left whatsoever when you admit you haven't seen one of the two things you're comparing. I wouldn't have bothered at all if it was a one-liner saying "WWE > TNA", but you wrote an essay ffs. It's like me going into one of the "Greatest Anime Tournament" threads, say Black Lagoon vs Gintama, and writing an essay on how superior the former is when I hadn't even seen the latter.
