Do you think TNA (Total Nonstop Action) will ever be as popular as WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment)? TNA has a lot of stuff working for them right now. If there is one thing, they are better than WWE in, it is the Women's Division (knockout division). Awesome Kong is the most scariest women wrestler since Chyna. They have many high fliers that are crowd pleasing. They have lots of talented wrestlers like Christian Cage, Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Rhino, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Mick Foley, and many more. What do you think they have to do to be as popular as WWE? I think they should have another show on in the week. For instance, WWE has Raw, Smackdown and ECW, 3 shows in 1 week. TNA only has Impact on Thursdays. They would be getting more viewers that way.

TNA has all the right tools. Yes. But TNA has all the wrong storylines. TNA needs to get back to the 2005 storylines when they were intriguing and anyone with a brain could follow. TNA will never be as popular as WWE though.

We can only hope that they do as the entire wrestling industry would benefit from competition. Raw has recently hit ratings in the 2.9 range, while TNA has been in the 1.2 range for a long time. I guess they just need to differentiate themselves from WWE more and not rely so heavily on ex-WWE guys.

i agree with marcola.
what made wcw popular then was that the show had it's own identity which the fans loved. getting former wwe stars would help in the short-term but tna really has top put in time, money, and effort to develop their own talents and come up with really original storylines. otherwise, fans will think of tna as a washed down version of wwe.
just my thoughts. cheers!!!

They already have another show, called TNA Xplosion, and the occasional Global Impact. I think that if they focus more on what makes them different to the WWE, they would be really successful as fans would tune in to them as a real alternative to the WWE. I'm not sure if they'd ever be as popular, since they seem to like to focus more on their eherm... "legends" like Kevin Nash, Sting, and Booker T. They should put the spotlight on their new faces like AJ Styles and Samoa Joe to truly be an alternative. As it is right now, they look like WCW-lite [and not the good one, the one that was eventually purchased by the WWE].
