I do. While I still think WWE is better (at least for now), I know that the NWA Championship Division is more competitive, because while in the WWE they have the same 5 people constantly wrestling for the Title and the people who do hold it hold it for way too long (like Cena and Roidtista) while TNA has had the NWA Championship switch hands 4 times in the last 5 months. The NWA Championship Division is competitive while the WWE Championship, World Heavyweight Championship, and ECW Championship is based on who Vince wants as Champion and occasionally who is the most popular. In the WWE it has nothing to do with talent. That is why I am glad Samoa Joe will most likely win the NWA Title next pay per view, because he is talented and he has earned it. What do you think?

I'm rarely for a young guy getting a title shot so early in their tenure, but Joe's been a hoss. He's worked with numbered nagging injuries and proved his loyalty to TNA this year in a lot of ways. I disagree when you say that WWE's better right now. With Vince being a money grubbing promotional hitman wannabe by trying to pull people in with rewardless storylines like the Donald v. Vince or fake Rosie O'Donnel v. Ace Steel in a very bad hair piece. TNA's the better product, bar none. The only thing they lack more of that WWE has is star power. Anyway, Joe definitely deserves an NWA title shot, and a reign. They should restart his winning streak as champion and have'em bring some prestige to this bath house pass around title that once held so much prestige.

Joe would have picked up the belt by now if Kurt hadn't joined TNA. Not to knock on Kurt or TNA management, I think they got some good angles out of the last few months. This will be the year Samoa Joe wins the NWA Championship. That said, they are going to milk this one for another month and make it a triple threat match Kurt v Joe v Cage. Because as much as Joe does deserve the belt, Christian deserves it as well. In WWE, he played second banana to his Keyfabe half brother. I'm glad he got the push he deserved in TNA.
And just an aside to your observation of TNA being more competitive I have the following two points.
1)One of the reasons sited as to why WCW crashed and burned is because the Championship switched hands on average once every 2.3 weeks. Frequent title changes are not necessarily a good thing. There is something good to say about stability. And the title reigns in the WWE are no where as near as long as they have been in the past. Hell, Bob Backlund held the WWF championship from 1978 to 1983, five years straight with no title changes.
2)How many freaking times has Jeff Jarret (who was at one time owner of TNA) held the NWA world title? I think 6 times over the past, how long has this promotion existed. At most since 2001 so that means that for every year of TNA's existence, Jeff Jarret was champion of at least part of it.

I think Samoa Joe is alright, but not as big a deal as everyone makes him out to be. I have not seen anything form him that really impresses me. Why can't they give someone like Rhino a chance to be champion, he has been in the business awhile and has not held any World Title since leaving the original ECW. I think Samoa Joe should have a match with Goldberg and Goldberg would show Joe why his undefeated streak was actually not a fluke like Joe's was

Samoa Joe deserves the Title. If Joe cant have it Sting should have it. Get the Title away from C Cage.

What happened with Kurt being #1 contender, but Joe does deserve it.

It should make for a good match. We'll see what they have up their sleeve. The thing about TNA is that it's pretty unpredictable, and that's what I like about it. I honestly thought Angle was going to win tonight.
