I think that if they cut all the crappy storylines and use their talent better, I seriously think that they could give wwe a run for their money. I mean top people in wwe are already quiting and 10 superstars were suspended for drugs. Plus, their main storyline is about a midget lepercan being Vince's son!
I think it will take a couple years down the road, but I think that it is possible.
Do you?

idk, it's really impossible to say. i do know that people were saying the exact same thing as you a couple years ago and they're almost exactly where they were then right now. i know they've got the new longer show coming, but i really don't think that's gonna help ratings much. it's not like all of a sudden 3 million more people are gonna come out of the woodwork that didn't watch the show cuz it was only an hour long, but now that it's 2 they're gonna watch it. it's gonna be the same people watching. idk, tna seemed promising a few years ago, & i watched it a little bit, but i totally lost interest & they haven't really made much of their potential imo. i hope for the best for them tho.

wait....No....never.....Top stars in WWE arent quitting. Its been reported that Ric Flair (whos been jobbed out to everyone the past year) and Booker T (whos 40+ years old, and has spent most of the time on the shelf or in the mid card level....or show) Its not like WWE is losing their big draws like Cena, Orton and Edge. These suspensions are nothing really. 30 days thats just 4 Raws/SD and a PPV. Thats nothing really. I dont mind TNA, i dont hate it as much as i use to. Still they are a LOOOOOOOONGGGGG way from being anywhere near WWEs level. Impact cant even draw a rating close to Smackdown and smackdown is held on a night where pretty much nobody is gonna be home to watch. If smackdown was on any other night and/or was live i think they could pull an easy 2.0-2.5 and Raw is usually sitting around 3.5, ECW around 1.5 yet Impact usually only draws a .9 or a 1.0. TNAs got a lot of work but it will take longer then 2 more years. They are heading the right way but they need the next "big boom of wrestling" to help them get up there

I don't think so.
"Oh but WCW did it."
WCW had money.

I don't watch WWE anymore, but it is hard to watch TNA, too at the moment. They would have to get an AMAZING gimmick/storyline going that was really, really compelling to get that kind of audience. Spike TV would also have to help and actually, you know, PROMOTE the show.

HAHA not a chance in hell. Only way it would remotely be possible is if WWE went out of business. I enjoy TNA, but they will never be able to compete.

If they continue doing what they have been doing as of late.....TNA will go out of business.  |

if they do they'll need to make BIG changes, firing the creative team and getting a new one would be a start, never say never

They have the potential to. Two hour primetime show, loads of big names, loads of talent, some creative ideas. If they pushed the right guys, wrote better feuds and storylines, intermixed their storylines less, and stop hiring all of WWE's former talent (not altogether: keep hiring the Kurt Angles and Christians, stop hiring the Rikishis and Tyson Tomkos) they have the potential to be a major contendor at some point.
In other words, they could, but they won't.

No. Just like I never thought WCW was the top company or ECW would be. Sure I watched WCW after the began to plummet not when they were on the rise, but I've always favored WWE over WCW. ECW never had a chance other than to gain fans. Kind of like a sitting, you can make a statement, but only to potentially change things- not instantaniously.

Of course there are ppl that know whats what but you have casual fans who will forever think that TNA is the little guy. |
