What I mean is, do you guys think that WWE and TNA are affiliated or their scripts are the same? and do you guys think WWE and TNA work for each other and this "feud" is all fake?

Let me clear up a few things...
Sting never started TNA...it was started by Jerry and Jeff Jarrett. It wasn't started as a place for people fired by WWE, but they are hiring former WWE stars in hopes to bring over the viewers of the "E" to their show.
However, it should be pointed out that TNA's focal point for a long time was in fact Jeff Jarrett, who was the Champion for a long time. It should also be noted that "Double J" only made it as far as Intercontinental Champion in the WWE. That doesn't look good for your company when someone who couldn't reach the brass ring in another promotion is on top of yours. But, that's common when you own the book.
The two promotions are not affiliated.
WWE is doing what it has always done, and that is ignore the competition and pretend that they're not in existence. That's really the smart thing to do.
TNA should do the same, but instead their VKM is giving WWE free advertising on TNA television. It's an old recycled angle that TNA is hoping will work to get them on WWE t.v., but I believe that the "E" will continue to disavow any knowledge of TNA.
I know I would. If you felt that you were better than your competition, would you go out of your way to try to bury them, or just ignore them and tick them off?

There is no feud between TNA and WWE, they never even mention each other (WWE anyways). If you noticed when Vinnie Mac was addressing the Kurt Angle thing he never said anything about TNA and only reffered to the as "the competition". Smart. He is a businessman. They are two different companies owned by two different people who each want to be the best in the pro wrestling business. That is where the competion comes from, but its not an onscreen feud yet.
Edit: Ok a few things, some already said it but TNA was not created by Sting. Jeff and Jerry Jaret started it and it was originally part of the NWA then Dixie Carter's dad bought the company. And no it was not a place for castoffs from the WWE island to go to it started as a way to offer a type of wrestling that WWE does not due, the extreme cruseirweight stuff wich many people are fans off. And how could ECW be a ripoff of TNA if it was created first?

Bubba you got it right man! Gosh I was about to go apeshit because of the whole Sting started TNA-whew good job!
But just to quickly respond to you and remind us all why WWE is still on top, don't forget that during the Monday Night Wars-Bischoff kind of did the same thing and challenged Vince to a match at one of the WCW PPV's. I can't remember if this was during the time that WCW started to go down in the ratings (oh and they started to go down in the ratings because of Bischoff's cockiness) or if it was during WCW's prime.
Anyhow, Vince like you said is simply doing what he's always done and that's ignore the situation, because it ruined WCW and it could produce the same effect on TNA. All the VKM are doing is making people tune into RAW to watch and see if DX responds and week after week they don't and ratings are nice and steady, so people I'm with you I would love to see DX vs. VKM but I doubt that would happen.
Out-

What feud? WWE won't even acknowledge that TNA exists. Sending 2 old has-beens from DX to shout abuse at buildings in the middle of the night, that's not cool.

Wrong on all counts filipino! WWE is run by Vince McMahon & TNA is run by Dixie Carter.
Shane runs the day-to-day stuff on WWE while its Jeff Jarrett & his father who do that on TNA.
They use entirely different storyliners. That fat guy who rubbed baby oil over Mizz on his birthday is Dick Johnson - he's a main writer. Over on TNA , it's former writer for WCW Vince Russo.
This feud - i'm assuming you mean VKM/DX - is a TNA storyline for VKM aka James Gang. They will soon revert to their old name of James Gang.

WWE and TNA are different companies although they are both scripted and predetermined TNA is better.

No. Sting started TNA to give the wrestlers who were fired by Vince a chance and he wanted a wrestling that was filled with something other than sexual innuendo, but they have started acting more like RAW all the time.
