TNA Is Not Ready To Compete With The WWE Yet!!

This week TNA has their Monday Night special called "This is TNA" which comprised of matches from last year’s pay-per-views, Slammiversary and Bound For Glory. They mixed in actual live footage with feature film-like footage. However, the special drew in 1.2 that’s a little more than

what Impact usually draws on Thursdays. Then on Thursday, TNA Impact was competing against

WWE’s Raw where Impact drew 0.6 and Raw drew a 3.0. Impact’s rating was down 50% from last

week’s as the viewers were jump-shipping from Impact to Raw, not to mention that Impact was

only an hour. Who knows how much Impact would drew if it was 2-hours and airing the same time

as Raw?  As for the WWE, Raw lost some of the viewers to Impact. But either way, TNA is not

ready to compete with the WWE at this point because they don’t have the recognition that the

WWE has and they don’t have the resources that WWE possesses. Instead of competing against

the WWE, TNA should concentrate on building their company up and establishing their own identity

with the latter they have done successfully. Another thing’s for sure – Impact hasn’t gained new

fans at all. I don’t think we need another Monday or Thursday Night Wars like there was in the

90’s. There is something for every wrestling fan, including myself.
