Well many supporters and critics have all noted TNA's slow rise from going from a "Wrestling Company" to an "Entertainment Company?
When TNA stared out it was mainly a "wrestling show". Yes they have feuds, storylines, ect but you always thought that wrestling came first. It felt almost like an Indy/ROH like show where the main obective was show good wrestling matches.
Then watchers slowly started to notice a move more towards entertainment. While TNA still produced good matches everyone in a while, the entertainment aspect had widen. You got crazier storylines, "bigger" characters/personas, large amounts of comedy, ect.
TNA has slowly went from ROH where wrestling is the main obective, to a more WWE approach where entertainment, and overall experiences(celebrity angles, different movie/music tie ins, comedy angles and skits)seem more prominent then before.
So my question is what is better for TNA? A wrestling based show or an entertainment experience? While people will probably say both, I'd rather have a more "outside the box' answer.
People who want a more entertainment base program use WWE as an example how wrestling shows can be really successful by using different techniques. The will also bring up ROH and other indy feds that the majority of are more "Wrestling shows" and are performing in Bingo Halls and barely making a profit.
Then you have supporters of a 'pure wrestling show" arguing that TNA will never be bigger then the WWE if they continue to follow their footsteps replicating their movements 10x less effective. They will argue that UFC and other mix martial arts programs are huge right now, and a more "wrestling" based show could hop on that bandwagon and cater to both types of fans.
Entertainment vs, Wrestling? TNA's future is.....
