I don't know if they are getting better ratings than Smackdown!. But ECW is garbage and It is possible that TNA may be getting better ratings than that program. I prefer TNA to ECW because ECW is not hardcore and the devoted fan base of the "old days" have figured this out and really stopped watching it b/c the ECW originals are "jobbing" to WWE stars. TNA is only about 5 years old. Let's give it some time and see what happens. Every major company was small at a point.

I've heard neither of these claims from a refutable source. I do agree with Kip Sopp about benching talent though, but coming from him, such a claim is a bit hypocritical. I doubt Sopp would jump to WWE, nor do I think they would extend the offer at this point.
If Kurt Angle truely said that, which I doubt he did, then people should be even more worried about his mental state than they already are.
As prior noted, NoDQ isn't a refutable source to me. Try somewhere like 411mania or 1wrestling. 1wrestling is a tad biased, but Bill Apter will deliver the truth. 411mania is a multimedia site, and often sites from other refutable sites. I highly doubt Kip Sopp said that about WWE or TNA considering his political soap box lately against WWE., but Kurt Angle...well, this is the same guy who said Chris Sabin should be worked into a Charles Shultz esq. Pigpen gimmick. I worry about our Olympic Hero sometimes...

Okay, you're believing it a bit too much. Angle just wants to push the company to have more fans. They can't afford to go national or even outside Los Angeles? or w.e they're situated in. I agree TNA is a way better brand, hell even Raw can't touch it, but right now that isn't gonna happen anytime soon.
As for Kip James, he's playing the WWE storyline good, and he's very convincing, but off camera, hell anybody (cept some guys) on TNA would go to WWE. TNA lost some money and guys had to pay for hotels. And he is also right about the bad move in TNA benching guys. I'd say move to a 2 hour timeslot, and you got one hell of a show.

I think TNA will just take some time to get developed. Personally, right now, I believe that they have an extremely full roster, if not overcrowding. Using this roster, they should work with what their gimmick is, the company that constantly delivers good matches. They need to cut some of the guys that have no role, but promos, mainly Kevin Nash. TNA needs to be in the hands of someone who understands and respects the business, not Dixie Carter and Vince Russo.

well i am sure angle is right ecw is doing horalbe in the ratings and i heard if it does not improve vince is pulling the plug on it.
The new ecw would be a hell of a lot better if raven rhyno and the duddleyz were there. ALso if there were tables on fire and stuff like old school ecw.

tna is a bunch of bullcrap. kurt angle lost all my respect when he moved to tna and even moving to ecw was a bad choice. i dont think its true though.
but with kip james coming to wwe, that could affect dx, cause james hates dx. i would love it if he comes to wwe, but i wont like it.
