2) Roxxi says that the WWE overshadows the improtance of the Womens title by having a fued center around playboy. (I agree) however Kong being a dominate Women's champion then getting her ass nearly handed to her by a suposed "fan" and fighting only fans lately completly degrades the TNA's womens title.
The fighting fans angle is pretty stupid, I admit. I've said before that they need to get the title back into some real feuds. But for getting her ass handed to her by a fan, you're being too critical. She's not just some fan, she's Shantelle Taylor. Once she's given backstory we're probably going to learn that she trained for years under _________ and was in wrestling all through high school and college, or something. In any wrestling audience there are probably a handful of people who have the untapped potential to be better than whoever they're watching. It doesn't devalue Kong if she beats the high hell out of everyone week after week, and then eventually gets unlucky and finds someone in the audience with talent.

4) Roxxi likes to speculate that if WWE said the words TNA on the air the ratings would jump to a 3.0 over night shows how much Roxxi just talks out of his ass since ratings just don't jump that much no matter what. And to believe that anyone who did tune into TNA would automatically become loyal TNA fans after that is foolish as well.
Woah woah, not quite. I'm not saying the ratings would hit 3.0 if Lilian said "The following contest is scheduled for one fall! TNA! Introducing first, from Buffalo, New York...". I'm saying if WWE really declared war with TNA, doing a few aggressive promos like the one Rhino did where he burned the old ECW title, that would introduce TNA to millions of people who have never heard those three letters together in a nonsexual context, and boom, ratings up. "Hit 3.0 overnight" is perhaps an exaggeration, but it would be a rapid climb and would in all likeliness never go below 2.0 again. The point of all this is that TNA SERIOUSLY needs to advertise, because most of the people who would watch it don't even know it exists.

I get that she is actually a wrestler, but remember were suposed to suspend our belief and therefore were suposed to believe that these are real fans. Its pretty lame that a tiny little blond girl can give Kong a run for her money and girls like Roxxi, Kim & ODB who are trained pro wrestlers can't get it done. They did have Daffney come in for one shot. They explained that she still wrestles and was in WCW and even she got her ass handed to her by Kong but a tiny little blond girl comes out and she nearly beats Kong. (Granted I realize that the WWE sort of did the same thing with Santino's debut)

Oh I will agree that TNA needs to advertise, but the WWE is smarter then that. Why declare war with TNA. Even you have to realize how below the WWE's radar they are at the momment. The WWE never really ever declared war on WCW until well after WCW was killing them in the ratings already. If they ignored WCW for so long there going to ignore TNA as well.

But I don't think the increase will happen nearly as quick as you think.
