TNA is so desperate to get people to watch their show that they attack WWE every chance they can get. Like the has been's Kip James and BG James talking smack about DX's comedy skits. VKM's comedy skits where much worst, The "Target" skit, they build it up for weeks and was the worst skit in wrestling history. Most of their top wrestlers are WWE rejects, Christian Cage, Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, Tomko, Rhino, Devon, Ray, and AJ Styles. A lot of people don't know that AJ Styles did wrestle in WWE, back when it was WWF, I saw hime wrestle Essa Rios on METAL. I seriously don't think that TNA will last more than a year or two. Unles they focus more on their company and take their programming on the road.

WCW had a killer cruiserweight division, but they never pushed anyone. TNA was built from the ground up on it's X Division, and even though it's kind of a running joke now, it's spawned new up and comers like Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, and the franchise player himself, AJ Styles. I don't know where you get AJ is a WWE reject, almost every indy person wrestles on Velocity/Metal, so you can't really say he was a WWE reject because he was on it. Cage and Angle left under their own terms in a very prodominant spot in WWE. Cage was at least an upper midcarder, one of his last appearances as a matter of fact was going against Batista for the title. Cage jobbed, but he was in contension none the less. Angle left because WWE was killing him. TNA tapes two weeks out of the month, it's really a good change for him, even though he still does need to rest more.
Secondly, WCW wasn't full of "WWE rejects". WWE stole most of their talent FROM WCW. This is how they owned the ratings for a year. Where do you think Chris Jericho came from? He didn't jump off the ECW short bus and go straight to WWE, he was in WCW before entering into WWE.
Finally, TNA isn't as NEARLY as bad as WCW was about being competitive. They're not going on the air and reading spoilers to Smackdown, they could, but they don't. The only real remote mentions of WWE in any TNA broadcast are the shoot interviews each former WWE talent does when entering the promotion, the Vince/Triple H farce before TNA had a primetime slot or even posed a threat, and the VKM for about a month, but even they've shut up.
TNA and WCW are/were about two different things. WCW was about tradition, putting the old veteran over, and talentless managers turned wrestlers holding the world title. TNA's about the new blood, the new breed, the new style of wrestling. It's about making new traditions and putting on the best show possible with the best talent possible.

Yeah cause the TNA NEVER ripped off WCW or WCW.... DX = NWO Austin drinking = Sandman for some big examples that made Vince a lot of money and helped the WWF win the Monday Night Wars.

The wrestling on TNA is superior to that on WWE. It is similar to WCW prior to the early NWO.
WCW had better wrestling than WWF. With the NWO WCW finally had better ratings. But then poor story lines and bad wrestling tanked WCW.
TNA is in the better wrestling but still not as popular stage.

No you are wrong all of the former WWE wrestlers in TNA left on their own terms because WWE sucks these days and yes they are like WCW which was a lot better then WWE.

tna has great wrestling. i do agree w/u on the vkm skits, though. tna won't be able 2 compete w/wwf until they have a better timeslot on tv w/2 hours. once they get that, if wwf continues down the path they've been going down, they're in trouble.
