Bring back the competition for the WWE

[MinistryofDeath89]

What does TNA and ROH need to do to make a name for them self's?? TNA is know but it's not known around the hole world and it's not as big as the WWE. We all know the WWE the A List Company to go to to make a name for yourself.What I think TNA should do is get out of the orlando studio's and travel around America. If TNA want people to take them seriously they have to start by going around america and also make there storylines a bit of sense, granded Im not a TNA fan. But the one big thing they need to do is go Live every single week, It's no good having taped shows it just doesn't work. If you go live it has a different feel to it something special, TNA have been going Live for the past 2 or 3 weeks now and they need to keep that going and not fall back into Taping your show. In my opinion it kind of diminishes the show. But I have heard over the past few weeks ever since TNA has gone Live it has gotten interesting which is good it busts up ratings and it keeps your casual fans interested and makes your product worth watching. My last point is they have stop relying on the Ex WWE wrestlers to help them. TNA needs to make there own TNA wrestler like what they did with AJ Styles.


So give me your opinon on what TNA should do to impove and to challenge the WWE in the next few years??

Ohh I would also like your comments and opinions on what I just wrote thanks

TNA is more known around the world than you know. For instance, in the UK it is far more popular than WWE.

Going on the road would probably be a good idea. Thing is, much of the roster enjoys the lack of travel as compared to most other sanctions and suddenly touring would probably send many dudes into retirement or back to the WWE (because if they're on the road constantly, they might as well make the big bucks).

The ex-WWE wrestlers are the biggest reason they draw the way they do. They're very necessary. It's not like they're ignoring the talent from within, though. I mean, the current champion, his next challenger and his main rival all made their "names" with TNA. Balancing the talent from within vs. the established ex WWE talent is critical, and I'd say TNA is doing a far, far better job of it lately than WCW ever did.

TNA will almost assuredly never truly challenge WWE in terms of ratings. They'll likely close the gap some, as their current product is the best TNA has ever really been.

Im sorry but I don't buy in the fact that TNA is much more popular in the UK then the WWE. The WWE has a far bigger fan base then TNA and that goes for the UK as well. The WWE has been traveling to the UK for years, with the likes of Raw and Smackdown going over there every year but sorry i just don't buy into it or believe it. And I do agree with u that the ex WWE stars have made TNA what it is today but what im saying is they need to start making there own TNA stars they can't rely on Ex WWE stars to help them there all in there 40's now a part from Anderson and Jeff Hardy.

Read around this board some. The British folks around here will tell you that TNA is more popular. It has a lot to do with television deals and what not, but still, it is more popular.

Oh, and again, the champ, Bobby Roode, his next challenger, Austin Aries, and his main long term rival, James Storm all made their names with TNA. AJ Styles has been in or near the main event scene from the beginning. Saying they don't push the "homegrown" talent to the top is simply not true.

To Be Honest I don't really watch TNA I don't find there product to be any good. Now Im not saying WWE product today is better but the WWE have a good few faults of there own as well. The likes of some cheesy segements backstage but what can u expect it is PG show. They don't have a strong enough Main Eventer's like what they had 10 or 12 years ago with the likes of Stone Cold , The Rock, HHH, Taker, Kurt Angle Y2J, etc. It's just a bit shocking to hear that TNA is far popular in UK. Just goes to show how the PG Era is doing.

They need to get hogan out of there. I don't watch much Tna but we all know he is not helping them out. He helped in destroying wcw and he may demo the same here. They do a good job of pushing talentl and they have kept the strap on roode since of,toner or November so he must be having a good reign. Like others have said traveling every now and then could not hurt.

TNA is popular in the uk because it is on freeview on a tv station called challenge, whereas WWE is only available on sky which is a subscription service so the tv figures inthe uk show that tna is higher rated than wwe because it is free to watch.


BUT.........WWE could announce 2 nights at wemberly stadium and would sell out both nights without a hitch whereas TNA would struggle to fill it for one night.


Its a case of getting something for free that makes it higher rated tv rise but does not mean it is more popular in the uk!

i see a lot more people walking around liverpool in a wwe t-shirt than i do a TNA one. In fact i dont remember seeing anyone in a tna one.

Yep, TNA is nowhere near as popular in the uk and only gets higher ratings because it is on freeview where as WWE is on a paid subscription service. Simple as that.

As for the question....I honestly don't think TNA or ROH could do anything to make a name for themselves because i can never see wrestling in any form being highly successful again. We live in a world where reality and realism is key and I can't ever see people taking to wrestling like they once did.

TNA Just has to continue doing what they have been doing lately and continue to be a real alternative to WWE, and continue pushing towards more of a male adult oriented product, and not the kiddy bullcrap on WWE with All the ADD, the lack of fresh talent, the lack of fresh angles.

Keep it up TNA!
