Yeah, there are some stupid storylines in TNA, like the Eric Young thing, the Jackass thing, Norman Smiley and Shark Boy period, and...I can't really think of anything else. But the whole show isn't based completely around those like WWE is. There are nights where the main event is replaced by people kissing vince McMahon's butt. There was a live sex celebration two times. Eric Bischoff was thrown into a dumpster! The boogeyman took air time away from young guys just so everyone could laugh for a few moments. Paul Burchill dressed up like a friggin' pirate. Eugene pokes fun at handicap people. Maria acts stupid. All of those things are pointless things that never needed to happen to get fans watching. TNA however, is based around wrestling. When they have feuds, the feuds are hardly ever started with talking, they're started with fights. They don't have nearly as much talking segments as they do matches. Heck, the first twenty minutes of Raw is pretty much always talking. TNA and WWE aren't even close to being similar.
