TNA, great concept matches?! HAHA. And I wouldn't say RoH has all great storylines either. Anyways, I prefer watching/following TNA right now, but RoH is better overall. Hopefully, RoH will get a TV teal and some bigger names and get bigger worldwide, then I would definitely prefer them. But right now, they simply aren't 'big' enough, business wise, for my interests.

both shows are for people who have entirely too much free time in their lives imo.

i can never get the time to buy and watch an roh dvd or even download it. and tna just plain suck!

but to answer the Q, if both shows got a 1 hour weekly show, i'd watch roh.

Pros for TNA

On TV.

Big Name wwe stars

Great Roster of Talent

Cons for TNA

Dont use their Talent

Booking

Use of WWE stars

crazy gimmicks matches

flaws in programming

Dont TOUR!

===========================================
ROH Pros

Great Product

Great characters

Old School Wrestling

THey found there Niche & Target Market

Sticking to what made them sucessful

Better entertain & Shows

Uses their roster much better

Awesome live shows

ROH COns

Not on tv

long matches sometimes.

Thats the only real con i can think of for ROH. TO me ROH is all around better than TNA. They are trying to be a combination of WWE and ROH, and it really isnt working right now, hopefully there trend continues. Im rooting for tna, but its an uphill battle right now.

Roh has the better product, and better financial state, BUT Tna could become a bigger company and be a threat to the wwe in the future, but right now ROH has a better product. But TNA has taken more steps.

The one big factor that stands out to me is ROH's live shows. You get your moneys worth and then some. TNA was good, but i went to bound for glory and it was good, but ROH was great. Another thing that bugs me about TNA, is they had a very sucessful show in Det last fall. SO you would assume they would come back in 07 right? No, they havent and it isnt planned yet. Where as ROH will be back in sept. ROH expands and expands farther each year. They started in philly and are now all over the midwest of the states, Europe and Japan. Where as TNA is in Orlando, and random spots for house shows.

It all depends on what you like to watch. If you like just wrestling, then watch ROH. If you like Wrestling and storylines, then watch TNA. This is a stupid thread IMO, but I love TNA, so Im goin with TNA

Easily without question RoH wins hands down. TNA has its moments, but RoH provides the good stuff on a regular basis.

Ring Of Honor... Hell, if not for ROH, guys like Low-Ki, Homicide, Samoa Joe, Aries, wouldn't have even gotten noticed by TNA. The ROH talent has helped TNA a lot in its existence.

Anyways, its not even close, ROH is the better of the two companies.

I will watch Ring Of Honor over any wrestling company including Japanese wrestling which says a lot because I'm a big fan of the Puro style.

^WTF, honestly before you watched TNA did you have any idea who Abyss, Chris Harris, James Storm, Hernandez, Bobby Roode etc. were? Even the Ring Of Honor guys like AJ Styles and Jay Lethal, I'm sure only a few of you only knew who these guys were before you watched TNA. Don't forget ROH is INDEPENDENT WRESTLING.

It shouldn't matter where a guy came from. If a guy can fucking wrestle, that should be the only thing that matters. Every wrestler competes in smaller organizations before they wrestle in places like WWE and TNA so branding them as "WWE" or "TNA" rejects is unnecessary and pointless. That is seriously not a good reason to put a wrestling organization down. I have noticed most of the people who "hate TNA" hate it for reasons that have nothing to do with wrestling but the funny thing is TNA is a wrestling organizations. Please people try to be a little unbiased for the love of god.

With that being said, I still believe Ring Of Honor is the best wrestling company wrestling wise. The only con I can think of is they are almost impossible to follow consistently, but other than that, the wrestling is great. They rarely have bad shows, in fact I don't think there has been an ROH show that I didn't enjoy...I don't want to sound like an ROH fanboy or anything because I'm far from that, but honestly they put on great shows, and If you have the chance you should definitely check them out.

You totally missed the point of my post which brings me to the conclusion, You are a WWE fanboy who will put any wrestling organization down for not being WWE, I don't see how you can call yourself a wrestling fan, if anything your a WWE fan not a wrestling fan...no disrespect, its just the way I feel.
