    a tna supershow is obviously going to be better than a normal raw……..and tna cant do a spershow every week so chances are the ratings will start to go down

    The reason tna is getting bad ratings is simple they have everything but doing the main event first for one thing and then having a rematch for later on, the fact nobody wants to see Hogan wrestle anymore the mans had hip replacement it’s a wonder he can still fight really. plus the ending tv feed cut off right before Jeff hardy did a swanton bomb (not that I’m complaing) but there were a bunch of other errors which I’m hoping will soon be changed.

    The only segments that i liked on TNA was the X-Division match and the RVD segment the place was exploding and i loved that. However, as far as the McMahon/Cena segment goes i liked it better than the TNA Main event but mostly i watched WWE

    TNA put on a great show, but so did WWE. For once WWE wasn’t bogged down with corny skits. TNA will build in the ratings. It will be a slow build, but they will get there.

    I don’t think that WWE will acknowledge TNA on the air until they have comparable ratings. Everyone that knows about TNA knows about WWE, but the same is not true the other way around, therefore it would be foolish to acknowledge them.
