thecruiser is looking to come up from OCW...
Default WWE is listing TNA iMPACT! results on their homepage! WTF?

Here is the link to the TNA iMPACT! results on the WWE's page. It is redirected from their homepage, which has a new feature called "Industry News" and lists stories from other wrestling web sites, including WrestleZone.com.

Here's the link. http://www.wwe.com/inside/industrynews/6548604

They also have March dates for TNA house shows, and even have the pre-sale password for Lockdown. Also included are some backstage things that WWE doesn't want their fans to know, like Vince getting called-out by US Congress on steroid issues. This is the weirdest shit the WWE has ever put on their website. In the past, they haven't even acknowledged that other wrestling promotions exist (other than the ones that they bought-out). When they acquired Monty Brown, they only mentioned that he played in the NFL, and didn't even mention his past experience in TNA. WTF is up with that?

Wow, this is...odd? I'm not really sure what to think of this. I'm sure TNA is pissed about their results being displayed on WWE.com. I can't believe that WWE even let this happen. As thecruiser said, WWE never mentions other promotions and acts as if they don't exists. The only good that this can do TNA is get them exposure and viewers, kind of like when WCW announced that Mankind was going to win the title that turned the Monday Night Wars to the WWF's favor. But that would occur on a much, and I do mean much, smaller scale.

This is really really odd ! I can't believe this, first time ever I see WWE
listing TNA name and being exposed on issues like Vince getting called-out by US Congress, this is extremely weird, the only question that every one wants to know is WHY ?

on the other hand, when you forget the word WHY and when you deal with
what happening right now, I see this is very unusual chance for TNA to get
popular more and more and unusual chance for them to make the ratings
higher than ever, if TNA didn't take that GOLDEN advantage and start
correcting the mistakes and stop the crappy angles and forget to do
a Wrestling show for kids and do it for adults with attractive storylines and
making sence, I can see the revolution can be start this year, but
Please get out of Florida and Spread all over the US and sell the tickets,
millions and millions visit WWE.com, and now WTF WWE promoting them,
promoting there name there shows and even Lock Down, I don't know
what the hell is going on here, but if I was TNA creative I would make
a BIG TIME change that will revolutionize TNA this is the time Dammm it,
the only question is : Why WWE did that ?, and How long this is gona last.

WTF is really the best thing to say in this situation... i mean really, theres no point in WWE doing this O.o... i dont get why they would do this, it actually helps TNA, plus TNA isnt even a threat yet, why the F*** would they do this? if it was WCW i would get it... does this mean TNA is finally getting on WWEs nerves?, i really have no idea, but its interesting, hey maybe now that TNA starts going live this could only help them lol

and maybe TNA starts posting up smackdown and ecw results?? now we will have internet wars by both comapnies? lol wtf.... i dont get this, but i like it...

Why do i need to come to wrestlezone for backstage gossip. WWe.com is the one stop shop for wrestling. Man this is great. This will not help out TNA. All WWE fans already know about TNA. WWE has been turning around for the good lately. The have brought back the shock treatment. The way they are doing stuff now i can allmost believe Bobby Laskey will do a suprise return. WWE RULES

Well this isn't new for WWE. After all they gave ECW some exposure back in the day. Maybe they believe competition is good or they don't really see TNA as competition. I have to say putting it on their web site is interesting, lol maybe they think TNA needs all the help they can get. Now if they start with some lucha libre and some Japanese wrestling on there and it will get really interesting.

Well, they have also posted the card for the next ROH PPV as well. I think this is more about the WWE trying to make WWE.com the one stop/best wrestling web site out there. This info does not pop up when the page loads, you have to click on the industry news tab. I can also see this as a way for Vince to act hollier than thou, just as he did with ECW. Which is always so funny to me, as Raw going to TNA/Spike, is what dealt the deathblow for the company.

Before anyone gets confused, WWE.com did NOT post the spoilers for TNA, they posted the results from LAST NIGHTS show. Why? I have no idea. I really don't. But it is an interesting thing. What this could do is possibly create a Spoiler Free place where you can still learn the whole backstage going-ons, and not all that other crap. This way, it keeps the casual fan updated on the real world without ruining any surprises. I like that idea. I really see no immediate harm from this.

This is like history in the making! I mean thats wierd did you ever see WCW mentinoned slightly on WWE before they brought it out? To be honest its a great move for TNA I think, I mean think how many visistors a day WWE.com gets TNA is getting free attention as well as ROH. I think WWE should continue this, maybe they are trying to get TNA noticed more so they can actually start a decent competition? Whatever it is, its cool!

the part of the website that has tna impact's results on it is called INDUSTRY news. when they're talking about the industry, they're talking about every major promotion in the business today, which includes TNA and ROH.
