Why TNA Will Never Beat the WWE

TNA wrestling...I've heard a lot of good stuff about this show...how it is better than the WWE. But when I started watching it,it made feel embarrassed that i was a wrestling fan. I mean most of the matches were interfered and the gimmicks were so stupid that it was not funny. As far as I see it, the WWE is way ahead of TNA.

Let's start with the knockouts: They were said to be the best thing in TNA, making them get very high ratings, but the divas seems to be more athletic (and hotter) than the knockouts. Yeah, they may have all those cage and ladder matches and be more respected than the divas, but the divas put on a better match, they are proving time and time again that they are more than just pretty faces.

The diva roster also seem to be improving. Presently, all of them can wrestle pretty well (including Kelly Kelly) and there hasn't been those lingerie pillow fights so I guess it won't be long before they are in the same level as they were back in 2003-04.

Mickie James vs Beth Phoenix will be more entertaining than an ODB vs Roxy match...and if it is entertaining then I'm happy.

Next is the X-Division: Does this X-Division include the Guru, mighty Eric, and the Curry Man? Wow...TNA really knows how to ruin a great division.

I don't know what they are thinking making these great athletes wear those stupid costumes and make them look like complete idiots. Have they already forgotten Christopher Daniels or the early Jay Lethal? From what I heard, it was the X-Division that made TNA famous. Their matches are also becoming quite boring. I remember earlier when I used to watch their matches, I didn't blink my eyes because I didn't want to miss a single move.

Also, the present champion, Sheik Abdul Bashir (used to be Daivari in WWE) doesn't deserve the gold, he wasn't a good wrestler in the WWE and didnt get much better in TNA but they still have some nice wrestlers like the Motor City Machine Guns, Consequences Creed, Petey Williams (I really hope he lose that stupid Scott Steiner gimmick).

BUT HELL, EVAN BOURNE PUTS THE ENTIRE X-DIVISION TO SHAME.

Next up is the tag teams: I guess here TNA wins over the WWE. TNA has tag teams like LAX, Beer Money, while the WWE is stuck with team Priceless and the Major Brothers..they really suck as champs..Miz and Morrison was probably the best tag team in the history of WWE and they didn't even get a rematch..tsk,tsk..

But WWE is starting to pay more attention to the tag teams..many new tag teams like the Colon Brothers, Cryme Time has surfaced and also with the addition of present tag teams like Jesse and Festus, Miz and Morrison etc..it wont be long before the WWE takes over this division too..n I'm praying really hard that Rey Mysterio and Evan Bourne become a team.

And finally the heavyweights:what do I say when i see some washed up WWE rejects dominate over there in TNA...plain boring..TNA is making a big mistake by not letting their originals shine...n right now they seem to be pretty high on Kurt Angle so i don't see where they will go when he leaves TNA next year.

  i may sound like a person just kicked out from TNA..but that's just my opinion....many people keep saying that TNA will be in the same level with the WWE in the next few years but i don't think they will ever reach that high..not even when pigs learn how to fly...

    Honestly I would defintely have to agree with you on this one. TNA has some great wrestlers. Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Christian Cage but they don't utilize them to their fullest capability. Those ridiculous outfits that some of the wrestlers wear, Shark Boy are just plain stupid. But I would have to say that the knockout division is much better than the wwe divas. Sure the divas look better, but the knockout division have much better wrestling action. The only wwe diva that I like is Beth Phoenix. But overall the wwe is by far leaps and bounds ahead of tna and will forever be ahead.

    Were you drunk when you wrote this? It seems that way, by the number of spelling and grammatical errors in your work. Honestly, if you truly believe that the WWE will always be on top, that's great, but you really need to work on your writing if you want anyone to take your opinion seriously.

    Also, I wonder how long you've been watching wrestling, with some of your comments.

    "the miz and morrison was probably the best tag team in the history of wwe"

    You must be joking. The British Bulldogs, the Hart Foundation, Team Canada, Demolition, The Legion of Doom....and you consider the Miz and Morrison as greater then these legendary teams?

    "but the divas put on a better match"

    Really...hmm...that's why all of the wrestling sites say the Knockouts matches stole the show, and the Divas matches are a good excuse to go to the bathroom...

    I'll agree that TNA needs to work on their product and get rid of the nonsense, but saying that they'll never beat WWE...never say never.

    AGREED. That sums up my feelings in 1 word. Everything you said is damn true, the only thing TNA has right is its' tag division...1 DIVISION! Spelling mistakes aside I think this is a well done article.

    i agree with u. the x divison has gone to shame and the only have a few good stars. but the thing is curry man and christopher daniels are the same person so it shouldn't make a difference with them in the xdivison. the wwe divas are improving and are more entertaining then the knockouts. and omg tna is the wcw of today with the heavyweight guys they have some new but mostly old wwe has beens. i wanna see aj styles or christopher daniels or alex shelley as heavyweight champ not kurt angle sting or scott stiner

    Hey you pretentious deuchbags.. wwe is trash. always have been since the end of the attitude era. You guys need to learn how give wwe up, they gave up on you a while ago. They care about the money more than product and the fans. Vince is proof of this and vince is the wash up here. Ps. WWE's ecw aint as half extreme as the original. How pathetic. Why even call it ecw.

    Kurt angle, Jeff jarret, Mick foley, aj styles, Samoa joe, sting, booker t, kevin Nash, Abyss, matt Morgan, Scott Steiner, petey wiliams, Rhyno, lance hoyt, jimmy rave, Team 3D, M.C.M.G., LAX, Bear Money, Suicide, Jay Lethal, sonjay dutt, awesome kong, ODB, christie Hemme and the beautiful people.

    I think TNA will have it's time someday..but it'll never reach what WWE had...I'm sure a decade or 2....TNA will unite w/ WWE...or if not WWE would repeat history by buyingTNA,,because of bankruptcy...
