A shitty wrestling promotion being invaded by an even shittier wrestling promotion.
Somehow, it's not the same as WWF vs. WCW...

Okay, so let me get this straight. Becauase, TNA had flyers put on seats at a WWE show - that's bad? Really? They're promoting their product. There's no diffrence in putting them on seats and having them hung up in the arenas windows - it's the same thing. You people need to lighten up about it. You act like this is a sin when it's good business. You people act like Vince hasn't done anything "unprofessinal" in his entire life. What the hell are you talking about? It's WWE's show! Not TNA's! People don't sit on windows, nor do they pay attention to windows.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. The situations are night and day. I am not at all equating this to DX's Invasion angle; I was simply saying that unprofessionalism is common in the wrestling business. Vince has been unprofessional in many instances. It has nothing to do with being a threat to competion. That was all I was saying. I totally agree but in this situation, it gets me angry. WWE never acknowledges TNA, and I mean never. When Monty Brown signed with WWE, it said he was a former football player (which he was) but never said a thing about TNA. So why must TNA constantly waste their time on trying to get noticed by WWE, when it isn't going to happen? It gives TNA a better chance to put on a better program. They don't have to worry about a shot to them by WWE. They could put on a great show every week, great story lines, good matches, and etc. But when they do things like that, it makes them look like a tiny company. Unprofessional? Maybe, but as you said, it's common in the wrestling industry. But right now, TNA doesn't want to go head to head with WWE, they want to be the best they can right now with no worries and THEN compete in those ways that WWE did to WCW back in the day. They're not trying to get the WWE to mention them here though. I don't see people get that - it's them trying to get the fans at that show to buy tickets to their show and watch their show. It has nothing to do with getting a mention from the WWE at all. Okay, so let me get this straight. Becauase, TNA had flyers put on seats at a WWE show - that's bad? Really? They're promoting their product. There's no diffrence in putting them on seats and having them hung up in the arenas windows - it's the same thing. You people need to lighten up about it.

People don't sit on windows, nor do they pay attention to windows. Ugh, what I'm saying is. When you go to an arena alot of the time in the Windows (or on a sign) they're promting diffrent shows. This isn't diffrent than that really. It's still promotion for your product either way. If I see a sign at an areana for a TNA show (or any wrestling show) while waiting in line. After the show is over - Im going over to look at it and say "Hey, another wrestling show". How's that not a problem but putting flyers on seats a problem? It's the same freaking thing.

What is TNA to WWE anyway? Nothing. This won't help TNA at all.

As far as the arena's concerned, its just an upcoming event. They probably see it as being no different to advertising a football game at another game featuring two different teams.

TNA has so many problems and instead of working on them they pull this s**t. NOTE TO TNA: Make your show better and more people will watch! Plain and simple!!! Thursday's iMPACT was better than any televised show WWE has put on all year... Are your pants on fire?

And your all acting like its proven fact that TNA paid for this. Why is it not a possibility that the arena said "Hey, this is a wrestling event, and we have one coming up, we wanna make money, lets advertise this show"? Seriously.

How is this unprofessional? Try not to be an idiot when you answer. It's an advertisement for a show in the same genre. This is fairly commonplace whenever you go to any arena event. I recall WWF flyers at WCW shows back in the day, and vice versa. Some of you people have never left the ing house, I swear.

I'm still gonna be a WWE mark

Has anyone stopped to think that maybe the people that run the venue put the flyers out? They probably thought, "These people are coming to see wrestling, maybe they'll be interested in seeing this wrestling show as well."
You all are so quick to jump to "OmGZZOooRz TeH JArraEt @nd STinG aRE SOOOooOooOO UnPRoFeSSioNaLZzz!!!!11! LiEK ScR00 Tna f0 REalZ."
It's disappointing.
