In a Press Meeting earlier this month, Dixie Carter said that TNA's Ultimate goal was to rival WWE Raw on Monday Night Television. He was also on Bubba the Love Sponge show before Bound for Glory. During the show Bubba asked Carter what she thought about WWE RAW doing a 2.8 cable rating a few weeks ago. She said that the fans have been insulted over the years, and that TNA offers something different than WWE. She said she hopes the best for WWE because it's better for the fans and for the business if they are doing well.
Towards the end of the show Bubba asked Carter if she would sell to Vince and she said, "TNA is here to stay. Thanks but no thanks, we're not selling."

WWE.com posted an interesting article today with Stone Cold Steve Austin interviewing actor and former WCW Champion David Arquette. Arquette's WCW title reign is considered by many to be the epitome of the company's ineptitude during its final days. As if David Arquette being interviewed on WWE.com isn't strange enough, Stone Cold actually mentions TNA Wrestling in one of his questions. Austin asked Arquette: Knowing wrestling like you do, being in WCW for a little bit and now seeing the business today with really only WWE around • you’ve got some stuff in TNA but no major stars • who is your favorite guy going right now? It is very rare that WWE mentions rival promotion TNA Wrestling in any way. Despite what Stone Cold says about TNA, their weekly television show iMPACT! draws ratings that are comparable to ECW on Sci Fi. As far as TNA having no major stars, Austin seems to have a short memory. He dropped the WWE Championship to TNA's top star Kurt Angle at Unforgiven 2001.

Stupid, Dixie Carter wants a Monday Night War I'm sure the WWE wouldn't even care about TNA in the war because they are nowhere close to TNA, and strange how Stone Cold mentioned TNA on WWE.com.

Once again, I mantain that is rather pathetic for TNA to compare themselves to ECW, I mean, TNA has the dream of comparing themselves to WWE, yet they compare themselves to ECW, and lose.

And it is different to drop a title to someone than that person being a major star. Kurt Angle is a major star, that's not the point, the point is that dropping a title to someone means nothing. Khali won the title and that doesn't makes him a star

Kurt Angle is not a major star.

Stone Cold, The Rock, Hogan and Cena are major stars. Kurt Angle was always just a serviceable main eventer but he was never a top dog in the company. Even the times he was champ he was overshadowed by HHH, HBK, SCSA, Lenar, Rock, Cena, and even Batista.

TNA would be downright foolish to try to challenge WWE now. In fact, this wouldn't be like the Monday Night Wars at all, it would just be a massacre. TNA needs to gain the attention of the casual fans before they can even THINK of taking on WWE. Put simply, they just don't have enough fan support at this moment in time.

stone cold did not say anything about tna
SC: [Laughs.] That’s cool. I didn’t know I was your wife’s favorite wrestler. You mentioned Ric Flair, and he’s my all-time favorite. You said you came up on the Hogan and Andre the Giant days when you were in L.A. Knowing wrestling like you do, being in WCW for a little bit and now seeing the business today with really only WWE around, who is your favorite guy going right now? If you had to pick one guy you had to have come back into the wrestling business and work with, who would it be?

DA: Gregory Helms did all of my stunts in Ready to Rumble. I’m a big fan of his. I know he’s out now. I like the whole Triple H and Mr. McMahon thing that’s been going on, the family dynamics is always good entertainment. I like The Great Khali — I always like to see a giant. That’s a good type of thing. You know, Ric Flair is also one of my favorites of all-time. Whenever he does anything, I just love it.

It'd be fucking stupid if RAW & tna both were on Monday's. Both their ratings would drop, and the only winners would be Smackdown,ECW,& MMA fans and whoever. tna,....quit trying to start some dumbass war between the wrestling fans, our fanbase isn't as big as it once was during the 90's, so dividing it would be stupid, also take into consideration that we've got to go head to head with NFL games every other Monday Night.

Exactly, TNA doesn't have any fan support right now and they just get up and say that they want a Monday Night War with the WWE. They are doing the same mistake that wCw did, more concerned about what the rival promotion is doing and not concentrating on what you are doing, TNA does shoot Interviews and Angles insulting WWE. Many find that funny and amusing but really that's the stupid move over there! They just need to stick to the Wrestling Glory and get a cool and solid fanbase and then after 6-7 years heck they will be at the same level as that of WWE.
