TNA should just try to do their own thing but they want to keep using what worked for WWE. Then again WWE is recycling their own stuff and hoping the same story works two maybe even three more times.

Anyways both I think are in a slump but TNA copying what WWE does isn't working.

^Exactly, anytime someone comes into TNA they say "He's a former WWE Tag Team Champion, Former Intercontental Champion, former WWE Dropout", why don't they just pretend that WWE doesn't exist?

Its called b/c every wrestling fan knows that the WWE is the biggest and most known wrestling promotion ever. Why not mention the fact that a wrestling was a champion there. Now granted, most TNA fans know about WWE, but if youve been out the the bussines for a while, you might not know he was a champion. It just makes sense to mention them, especially in that way, seing as WWE is the biggest company in history

I highly doubt any TNA fans know what WWE is. I could be wrong but I believe WWE is an old, old woodenship that was used in the Civil War era.

Hope that was of help for those of you that are not familiar with WWE.

Christian, Angle and Tomko aren't exactly what I called washed up. I agree with Team 3D and probably Rhino.

Anyways I see this headed to the hell in a thread or street fight section.

The fatal mistake WWE is doing is not just recycling storylines, but giving certain superstars constant pushes they just don't deserve anymore. That's one of the big reasons I warmed up to TNA. I got sick of week after week of "Watch John Cena overcome the odds and prove that you can do anything if you put your heart into it", "Triple H is nailing the chairman's daughter and thus can do anything", and "Let's let Ric Flair embarass himself by acting like he has a shred of wrestling ability left." Thankfully so far TNA isn't doing anything similar to those, and if they want to survive, they won't.

For attracting attention, copying what the WWE does and badmouthing them on screen just doesn't work, because people have to actually watch the show in the first place to see it. TNA needs to get its' name out there with talk shows and products. That videogame is coming out, for example, and it's going to be huge publicity for TNA.

Well i think WWE is just getting to repetitive and boring. Cena the champ all the time never new champions and when there is they hold it for the space of about a week then its back to cena or whoever again WWE was great in the attitude era now it just sucks TNA owns all now.

WWE also copied TNA...... Monster Mash anyone?

Lets face it, big wrestling cooperations are going to "copy" the other band. Think back to when WCW did the junkyard hardcore match, kinda like trying 2 1-up ECW, imo. NWO vs. WCW. DX vs. the cooperation
