The reason TNA is not doing good is not because of the storylines or anything of the sorts in my opinion. I think it's because people aren't are interested in wrestling these days. The mid-late 90's raised the bar and a lot of people were so into it, that a lot of them are just burned out these days. One or two programs is pretty much all people really care to see these days. I don't think TNA's ratings would go up a whole lot no matter what they do at this point.

Johnny Stamboli (ALSO FORMER WWE superstar) is in TNA, too.
Where's the love for him?

I think it's the audience, personally. It's such a smark infested audience that they ignore who the heels and faces are, and just cheer who they want. It's very confusing to determin who the faces are and who the heels are in TNA, unless you're a follower. Therefore, the new folk tuning into the show see how confusing it is and just switch it off. Rubbish crowds = Poor television. That's a fact right there, folks. I agree with this in part. I also think SPIKE doesn't do enough to promote TNA. Most people I talk to don't even know Spike exists.

Ratings are a lot more complicated than you people are making them out to be.
If a show is good one week, that doesn't mean that immediately the ratings are going to SPIKE and that will be that.
The key to TNA's success is consistency, and if you ask me, they're beginning to hit a stride where they're putting on good matches and having some good stories as well. If TNA can remain consistent, the ratings are sure to follow.
Mick Foley, for instance, believes that for at least 6 months before Raw overtook Nitro, that they were producing better television...

Booker T has always been one of my favorites, but a couple of things:
- I was kind of glad when he left the WWE because it was obvious he didn't want to be there anymore. He was showing no heart - This could be a great signing for TNA...but it won't be. They'll push him to the moon and have him face Angle for the title while the homegrown talent is pushed down even further.

They made a smart move for themselves when they put MCMG over Team 3D. Actually gave the fans what they want.
Vince, take notes.

For the one time ever, MCMG beat Team 3-d, probobly the one and only time they even win a match, next Impact they'll be jobbing again. But sure, Vince take notes, take notes on how crappy TNA's bookings are.

^ You guys are saying how crappy TNA is and all that and yet is the WWE at its current point, any better?? I would have to say no. I'm almost getting out of the WWE product because I just can't stand it anymore. My buddies who have watched Raw for years and years have totally given up on it because they can't stand it either.
They refuse to watch WWE anymore. It's just too much of the same stuff over and over again and I grew tired of it a LONG time ago.
However, like me, they are now focused on TNA. At least TNA is an option to WWE's garbage and I've been watching TNA for a while now and I think they are doing great. I enjoy it a hell of a lot more than WWE right now, I'll say that much.
Fans today really over-analyze things way too much and worry about ratings and such. Just watch the friggin' show and at least try to enjoy it for what it is. Don't worry about that stuff.
But anyways, I think Booker T going to TNA is going to be great. He's a tremendous talent and I hope he's used right while he's there. But at the same time, TNA cannot forget about the talent they have and the guys that helped them get them where they are today.
Guys like A.J. Styles, Robert Roode, Chris Harris, James Storm, Petey Williams, Christopher Daniels, and so on. They should use the talent they've made and not focus too much on ex-WWE stars. All those guys are awesome and TNA should capitalize on it while they can.

You guys should want TNA to succeed so you see another ratings war and so WWE improves the product. Don't bash TNA because if they start to get bigger and better soon WWE will have to improve there product heaps and then both shows will be awesome. I would like to TNA succeed but the way they are going, that'll be when hell freezes over
