Number one in putting on better shows, or number one in doing better business, because, as close as WWE and TNA shows are in their mutual terribleness, TNA has never even begun to get remotely close to WWE from a business stand point.

I personally think that TNA has more entertaining T.V. shows (not better by the way, just more entertaining) whilst WWE has better P.P.V.'s, making it pretty much a tie.

I'm probably misreading this, but are you saying that the best TNA matches are nowhere near the quality of the best WWE matches?

I think he's saying more that WWE are better at giving matches that "big deal" feeling, which they undoubtably are.

Exactly J rock. Though given that the important bit of a match is the psychology I'd say WWEs best matches are far ahead of TNAs anyway. MOVEZ do not a match make.

Yeah I agree with that.
I just thought he was saying that in terms of wrestling quality the TNA best matches were nowhere near the WWE quality, which of course isn't true.

I disagree with this. I'm surprised you'd say this kinda thing.
You saying that the Samoa Joe v Kurt Angle matches are nowhere near the quality of say Michaels v Undertaker? Thats bull***t.

If you take the BEST (Jericho/HBK, Undertaker/HBK, Benoit/Angle, Brock/Angle, etc, etc) matches from WWE and put them against the BEST matches from TNA (Joe v Angle, Wolfe v Angle, AJ v Angle, AJ v Joe v Daniels, etc, etc), then WWE still cakewalk the argument.
