[quote name='mykevermin']TNA does enough damage to itself to worry about WWE. Seriously, the word "cluster

" doesn't even begin to describe TNA's booking. Late-era WCW, even the "Lance Storm Canadian Rules" bullshit angle, along with Sting/Vampiro in the cemetery, ICP, "That 70's Gut/Fat Chick Thriller"...all look positively conservative compared to TNA.
Here, let me book the next TNA show: have 7 matches, all going 3-4 minutes. Doesn't matter who competes and who wins - all finishes involve a run-in, ref bump, or cluster

. AJ Styles loses a match and has to dress up like "baby new year." Kurt Angle talks incessantly, Tomko displays his passive/aggressive disorder, Jim Cornette brays and does nothing, and Matt Morgan opens his mouth for no good reason.
I just saved TNA 3 weeks worth of work. Unless they want to bring in Chris Masters and see how *he* bumps their stagnant-ass ratings. :lol:
I also don't think WWE has displayed any ratings momentum save for this past Monday. That will disappear quickly, and we'll be back to 3.2-3.5 ratings before 2008 (on Raw).[/quote]
Well the WWE is leading into the Royal Rumble/Wrestlemania combo when they do their best, most interesting television work and I'm personally expecting an upswing out of them. The Jericho/Orton segment felt more natural than it has in weeks and it was one of the few times where the crowd made any noise of any kind.
And personally I think this is more of an attempt to straight up try and put Ring of Honor out of business. If this is a long term objective of TNA, the only way Ring of Honor can combat TNA is to either appeal to their fanbase to not abandon them and call out TNA or to try and get a television deal of their own. That and they need to start booking better venues that aren't the Manhattan Center.
