If TNA starts booking at bigger stadiums can they become WWE level?

The only way they're gonna reach WWE levels is to create new fans, which means putting on a great product for a long time. Just going to bigger arenas isn't gonna automatically fill them or something. It'd help a lot of they could get lucky and land upon a really hot angle, like WCW did with the NWO.

WCW was already big time before NWO, and WWF didn't have nearly the stranglehold on the wrestling game back then compared to now.

I meant that was when WCW had their hottest streak, though. Up until about 1999/2000. And yes, TNA has it even harder because they are not as established as WCW was, and WWE is bigger than they've ever been. But hitting upon a hot angle would help increase business and be the first steps in becoming what looks like a legitimate competitor for WWE, not just having the event in larger arenas.

Yeah I didn't think of what you guys said. TNA has done pretty damn well to become the 2nd best company in the world. Or the 2nd most known company in the world at the moment.

They get a lot of advertising from Spike, during several of their shows Spike shows "Impact Wrestling: Thursday, 8/7c". That's all they get, and on it's own that's fine... but can you name one other show on Spike TV? Nobody watches that channel, pretty sure they get most of their ratings from people flipping past it. Shoot, after TNN re-named themselves and branded themselves "TV for Guys", WWE left their asses, so did half their fans, and even some television providers. If they could get on a real network, that would help.

Also, just within the Viacom family of networks there are several good places to advertise. They own CMT, so James Storm can appeal to them. Stick Tessmacher and Velvet Sky on MTV. Maybe throw Eric Young on Comedy Central (actually please don't). They have Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam... can't see how they aren't relevant enough to draw ratings from you in an ad campaign as long as you throw the TNA Originals in there too.

What's it called.. Ultimate Warrior or w/e. It's such an awful show lol, where they do like tests and computer simulations to see which group or army would win :dawg: . My God it's terrible

There's Repo Games, which lets deadbeats answer trivia questions in order to keep their car from being towed... in what has to be the worst show concept in all of US television. That's saying something with shows like Ultimate Warrior, My Big Redneck Vacation, Jersey Shore, and everything on TLC running around.

But I only know of that due to that idiot showing up on Impact one day to repo Mexican America's car.

TNA is in wrestling terms still a young company.

Give them time as if they keep improving the product slowly and making good use of talent as they currently seem to be then over the years and with WWE being the way it is I'm sure they will eat into the gap between the two companys! Which is a good thing as with some competition WWE may get a kick up the backside!
