TNA and WWE need each other to exist.

[imported_Adam]

I was just thinking and i realized something, TNA and WWE really would have a harder time existing without the other. If one didn't exist, the other one would have alot more wrestlers being signed and asking to be signed, resulting in a lot less tv time and pay then some of them already get. Also, some of the guys in WWE got the experience and training in TNA, and some TNA guys got their training in WWE, I mean think about it:

Ron Killings: Held only the hardcore title, a minor title in wwe in his first stint. goes to tna, becomes a 3 time tag team champion and world champion. Goes back to WWE and scores his first major singles title for WWE.

CM Punk and MVP: both started their young careers out in TNA before going to WWE.

Mr. Anderson: Got the US Championship experience and training in WWE to be able to go to TNA and become one of the top 3 contenders for the world title in just mere months.

Rob Van Dam: Had the experience from all the titles he won in WWE to be able to go to TNA and bring the ratings in, and then win the World championship after being there for only about 2 and half months.

Jeff Hardy: Had experience in WWE but only captured secondary titles, went to TNA and got some different competition, comes back, wins 3 world titles.

Kurt Angle: All the experience in WWE from being champion enabled him to become the first man ever to hold all of TNA's championships at once, and also hold the IWGP world title, making him a quadruple champion.

Utter Failures:

Vince Russo: Apparently after everything he did failed in WCW and WWE, he didn't learn and decided to go ruin TNA's booking....

WWE would do just fine because of their already established product and their financial banking. Sure storylines would suffer a little but their still head and shoulders above TNA in the business department today. TNA will never put WWE out of business.

did i say anything about tna putting wwe out of business? no... im just saying it would be harder because there would be so many more wrestlers on the market if tna closed down and all of them wanted jobs, clearly most of them are talented and wwe would have a harder time choosing talent or declining people and eventually they would be too full, so would their developmental and they would be paying people to sit at home and do nothing and if wwe closed down, there would no doubt be too many stars looking for jobs in the next major promotion in the world.... it would kill tna's roster and bank account

Personally I don't think wwe would sign everybody. If they bought out TNA they would keep some wrestlers and release others. That's what they did when they bought wcw.

ya but less people watch wwe now tbh and it would still be a roster of more people with the same people watching = less pay for superstars = unhappy superstars= quitting = dead roster= bye bye business

They already have unhappy superstars with less then adequate pay now. WWE really hasn't had real competition since the Monday Night Wars tbh. Sure some superstars would quit over this but it would take years for it to destory the WWE.

yes but it would eventually. thats my point... wwe needs a 2nd.. thats why the year wcw was gone and tna hadn't been created yet was kinda boring and wwe had to cut so many people that year

 

[GardenStateSaint]

CM Punk and MVP had cups of coffee in TNA. Hardly TNA guys.

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

TNA needs WWE. They need something to cling to since they have no clue how to form a unique identity. TNA doesn't even exist in the E's opinion, it's just a bus stop for their exiled and washed up talent.

 

[Doomsday]

They should fire Russo and hire me.

Ron Killings: Held only the hardcore title, a minor title in wwe in his first stint. goes to tna, becomes a 3 time tag team champion and world champion. Goes back to WWE and scores his first major singles title for WWE.

CM Punk and MVP: both started their young careers out in TNA before going to WWE.

Mr. Anderson: Got the US Championship experience and training in WWE to be able to go to TNA and become one of the top 3 contenders for the world title in just mere months.

The people listed (besides Ron Killings) did nothing in TNA. Like GardenStateSaint said they had a cup of coffee in TNA.

Rob Van Dam: Had the experience from all the titles he won in WWE to be able to go to TNA and bring the ratings in, and then win the World championship after being there for only about 2 and half months.

Jeff Hardy: Had experience in WWE but only captured secondary titles, went to TNA and got some different competition, comes back, wins 3 world titles.

Kurt Angle: All the experience in WWE from being champion enabled him to become the first man ever to hold all of TNA's championships at once, and also hold the IWGP world title, making him a quadruple champion.

I wouldn't say RVD brought ratings. Nothing major. Jeff Hardy is a fat washed up junkie now. TNA's titles are a joke. They have no value or prestige. WWE does not need TNA. TNA definitely needs WWE as Enzo stated. All of the reasons why you said TNA and WWE need each other are not valid or credible. Sorry, you get an A for effort though for trying. If TNA were to eventually die, WWE will continue to live.

TNA is nothing in WWE's world. There would be more free agents and people where to choose from for signing..so what? Since when having more options and more talented wrestlers at your disposal for signing is a bad thing? Besides, WWE wouldn't sign everybody. You're working under the idea that every person on TNA's roster would end up being signed by WWE , when in reality roughly only 5 or 6 guys would be signed.

Besides out of your examples, the ones you listed about current TNA guys who worked on WWE....those guys didn't get their experience and training in order to be succeding right now in TNA. That's a real optimistic way to look at it. In reality, TNA milks whatever marquee name those guys could have formed for themselves at WWE.

For the other way around, I am sure WWE would do just fine without R-Truth out of all people

Smackdown did just fine in 2002 - 2004, despite the fact that there was no competition. Raw sucked, but whatever. WWE needs creativity and a real desire to make profit. They don't need TNA.

 

[The Small Show]

Of course they do.

WWE and TNA both need talent and both need competition because if they don't have that competition, Then they don't have any reason to get better storylines/action because they're the only company that is on mainstream TV. If TNA didn't exist, WWE would only have the indys (Where the wrestlers aren't consistent and theres usually different wrestlers on different shows) to scout talent. WWE and TNA need eachother because if they didn't, They wouldn't have any reason to get better since they would be the only wrestling show accessible for everyone.

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

That would be true if TNA was competition, but seriously they're not in any way. I'm not trying to demean TNA, but it's proven that a good amount of their fanbase is just WWE runoff. Again, TNA needs the E to survive, but the E would still keep on burning the midnight oil as the undisputed no 1 company in the world. If TNA could run house shows for an entire three months straight, run live tv for twice a month get to 100k ppv buys in one month instead of less than 100k for the year and maybe keep their ratings from fluctuating from the highest levels of awful to out of the toilet, then maybe they could be considered competition and even that would still be somewhat of a stretch. Just because TNA insists they're competition doesn't make it so, there would have to be some sort of proof that there was competition going and there just isn't.
