Yes and no. I find it patronizing but in a different manner. The WWE simply isn't targeting their product at me anymore. Where as I think that TNA is targeting me, but they think I have an IQ of 9.
Well I certainly see what you mean there, but I think I'd still prefer to watch a product that at least feels like they're trying to get me interested.

Until then, the Tag Division and Knockouts Division are the two biggest differances for me. At PPV's you're pretty much guaranteed a fast paced and spotty X-Division match, while some people dont like that, a lot do. Aside from Stryker, I think Don West is the best Mainstream commentator going which is a massive change from my previous stance on him. The heel turn has turned from from an annoying screamer into a comedic heel similar to Lawler several years back.

advantage:
you don't have a 60 + year old male beating up the top heel(s) in the company.
you don't see a wrestling legend(ric flair) or any other old legends get constantly blooded and brutalized by top heel in the company.

So last night I watched Extreme Rules, the first WWE I have watched for a couple of months, and I thought it was pretty awful. I think Steve put it better than I ever could when he described WWE as a "sterile, heartless company where nothing means anything". The problem is, my only alternative in mainstream wrestling is TNA, and most of what they do drives me insane. TNA seems to get a lot of hate here with the exception of a few blind marks... I mean... dedicated fans, but lets try to come up with some of the positives of TNA in comparison to WWE.
There must be SOME advantages of watching TNA over WWE right? What does TNA do better?
Someone needs to sell me on the idea of watching TNA. >.>
With TNA you only need to be subjected to a TV show with crappy illogical storylines that anybody over the age of 12 couldn't dignifyingly brag about watching for two hours a week, WWE is for five.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is.....it's easier to keep up with. Less of a commitment.
advantage:
you don't have a 60 + year old male beating up the top heel(s) in the company.
you don't see a wrestling legend(ric flair) or any other old legends get constantly blooded and brutalized by top heel in the company.
This is a pretty easy answer for me. TNA has better wrestling. When they want to, TNA wrestlers can put on 1 hell of a match. Though the fact that most of the storylines are stupid and never completed, and that TNA's soul is easily for sale (Stacker fucking 2) has forced me to vow to never watch TNA again.
Talk about a evil and sterile company.

TNA having better wrestling than the WWE is a major misconception. If you compare PPV to PPV as of the last year or so the WWE's will usually be better.

This is where our opinons on good wrestling may differ. I like seeing a technical match with lots of counters and back and forth action. Sure WWE does this from time to time but it always feels predictable. I've watched the WWF/E for roughly 11 years, and I feel like I've seen everything that they are capable of doing. And with the huge banned moves list from McMahon, WWE superstars aren't as free to use their full arsenal of moves. Just look at CM Punk. No Pepsi Plunge, Pepsi Twist, Crooked Moonsault, Shining Wizards, I could go on and on.

Since when does being able to do more moves make the wrestling better?
Also, lol@TNA having technical matches.

The main thing TNA has over WWE from what I can see is that it doesn't seem as watered down. When you're watching WWE, they sure as hell make it obvious you're watching something aimed at kids, whereas TNA doesn't seem as patronising.
Yes and no. I find it patronizing but in a different manner. The WWE simply isn't targeting their product at me anymore. Where as I think that TNA is targeting me, but they think I have an IQ of 9.
Basically, what he said, on that one. Although I have to say, having just watched two weeks worth of Impact's back to back I was really impressed by TNA's programming since Sacrifice, and this particular issue of under-estimating the fans intelligence was less of a problem.

I hate to say it, but I actually agree in part about Don West's improvements. While I wouldn't put him anywhere near as high on my list, the Impact's I've watched today have seen him actually make me laugh and get me angry in the right places... He's also managed to piss me right of with a couple of comments that made situations seem less important/dire than they should have been put over as, so he still has a lot of improving to do.
I think the one major reason I watch Impact religiously is that it does have a different feel from WWE, and for better or worse, after five hours of 'E programming I need something that feels and looks like it coming from a different angle. TNA provides that fix. It may not be on a level with Smackdown or ECW with regards to entertaining programming in my eyes, but it's close to, if not better than Raw and ROH on HDNet.
