Why do some people hate TNA and like WWE?

Question

i'm going to go out on a limb here so follow me.

TNA has gotten their second hour and our doing pretty well as far as pushing talent recently. The X Division has finally gotten back into the picture with the help of Team 3D (aka The Dudleys). The storyline between Team 3D and The Motor City Machine Guns is brilliant in my opinion. It gives MCMGs over with the fans and makes Team 3D get major heat. Its even pushed the talent of Johnny Devin (aka Havoc) into the scene for the X Divison World title. The world heavyweight division and women's division have improved as well. TNA actually has REAL women who know how to wrestle. The world heavyweight division is doing well as well. They have Kaz in the main event and he deserves it. He was well underrated but it looks like hes finally getting the push he deserves. AJ Styles and Tomko have become phenomenal teaming with Christian and now Angle. Also Booker T coming has improved the division as well.

WWE in terms of storyline wise have sucked compared to TNA this year. How is it Stone Cold Steve Austin can come up with a storyline better then the actual writing team? And some of you anti-TNA fans are saying that TNA's storylines suck. Please give me a break. How is WWE's Hornswoggle a good storyline? How is the Vince McMahon death angle a good storyline? please enlighten me. In the end its not even about brand wars. its about the wrestling.

None of these answers so far has given me a legit reason why people hate TNA and like WWE so far.

hmm. no good answers yet. this is sad.

Answer 1

The reason why people hate TNA is because their roster is half full of former WWE wrestlers - Christian Cage, Angle, Tomko, Booker T, Matt Morgan, Team 3D, Gail Kim, Christy Hemme. TNA focus on their wrestling, segments and promos to entertain people and pull it off great. Their problem is that they go overboard with gimmick matches and they have no millionaire as their owner. It would be vastly different if they had someone like Ted Turner at the helm.

Now onto WWE. Vince focuses on a lot of comedy skits and family entertainment to woo the crowd. Some grown up wrestling fans absolutely hate this! Their star quality is limited because of the brand extension. When Cena comes back, he'll just have the same feud over and over until WWE sign a potential main eventer.

REAL reason why people hate TNA - they tend a follow the bigger company and they've gotten into it so much, they forget what they are - a professional wrestling business with drama. TNA is that and a whole lot more!

Answer 2

Don't know why TNA isn't regarded in the same way as WWE.Ok WWE has a bigger roster, more resources & wider range of influence.But TNA has a solid roster already of talented tech stars that inc. the Knockouts & X Division.Tags or singles Russo & Mantel regularly put on sound editions of Impact.
Some ppl may say it's the poor relation of WWE.I diasagree & watch it just as much as WWE.I like the angles, gimmicks, feuds & matches.How the storylines are driven & how it's myth is created.TNA should be given more of a chance i reckon.

Answer 3

Since I live in UK, I have never seen TNA and/or got round to watching it on the internet.
I've grown up with the WWE for the past 6/7 years and since then I have only wanted to stick with it, because of all of the changes i've seen happening there.
I'm not insulting TNA at all, a lot of people on here prefer it to WWE. But I think because TNA hasn't been recognized as much as the WWE in history, it has been foreshadowed.
This foreshadowing has lead to a larger growth in fans of the WWE, and more people following it instead of TNA.
I take a neutral opinion on both brands, seeing as I have never watched TNA, but it seems to me that people declaring WWE's height over TNA are overlooking the talent which is on the TNA roster (which I have seen and looks very impressive.)
TNA has a growing number of fans but as for teenagers, I think if they've been a fan of the WWE for a long time, they're not gonna start changing.
People just follow what's bigger and presume it is better.
Well that's my view.

Answer 4

Brandon, prepare for a long answer starting......*now*

TNA gets negativity from WWE fans for a couple of reasons. One, the storylines could be better, but they are either played off poorly, killed off quickly, or made too comical for their own good.

Example of a poor storyline: James Mitchell/Abyss/Sting/Judas Mesias
Example of a killed off storyline:
Kaz/Robert Roode/Traci Brooks
Example of a story made too comical:
Rhino/James Storm

The only storylines that get the right attention and development are the ones surrounding the TNA World Championship and maybe the Women's Championship, as well as the X-Division vs. Team 3D.

Also TNA fans make WWE fans feel low when they call WWE fans idiots for being loyal to the WWE and continuing to watch them. However, people who like TNA should see WWE fans like themselves: loyal to what they like and/or grew up on, as well as hoping for something better to come up (just like fans of particular sports organizations like the NBA). When TNA fans shout, "WWE sucks! You guys should watch TNA! WWE is crap in comparison", then that's where the problem begins.

**starred**, because I wrote a long response.

Answer 5

Team 3d needs to continue what they want to do because they want the tag titles back. The womens divison did improve. One thing i got say about Booker T he want a shot at the title alredy. he just got got to wait a few months. TNA has the talent, but WWE has the better PPVs like Royal Rumble, WrestleMaina, Summerslam and Survivor Series.

Answer 6

the reason i dont liek tna but still watch um is because they remind me of the early 80s wwf and i didnt like wwf then but i see talent buti feel tht tna is just boring in the sense its always the same main event always angle vs christian nver samoa joe who deserves tht belt hes been there since the beggining

Answer 7

Most people who say like WWE and hate TNA will have watched TNA once or not even watched it all !!!

But even though TNA do put better matches on than WWE, WWE is the more organised company, sometimes in TNA you can watch it and not know whats going on E.G sometimes i watch TNA and i don't know who is face and who is heel. WWE's storylines aren't always good but they seem to make more sense than TNA's storylines !!!

Answer 8

i really like tna and i agree with all ur opinions but wwe is also good and not all storylines have sucked this year. i do like wwe more because they got more talent and well have been around longer but i do really like tna and i think they say they hate tna because they`ve never seen it

Answer 9

people hate tna beacause its different. Wrestling fans are so used to the bull **** than wwe has created over the past seven years. wwe is better organized and have been around longer. the people say that tna just plain sucks are ignorant wrestling fans captured by the wwe spell. wwes storylines suck tnas can use some improvement. wwe's hornsuagul mis spelled but who cares being vinces child is stupid. vince's death was ingnorant and disrespectful to all those who really died in wrestling. Anyway like i said people hate tna beacuase they are different its human nature to be afraid of things that you are unfamilier with. If they will shut up and reilize that the industry needs tna and they are just to afraid to admit it.

Answer 10

i'm a wrestling fan, i'll watch any wrestling thats on tv, except wsx which was cancelled before it even got 4 episodes lol I don't care whats going on in the womans division or anything cause I can't change it, I just watch it and tolerate it because I enjoy watching it.
