Bold statement, but does anyone else feel that way? It's bad.

I wouldn't say that. There's humor in TNA. So the hell what? It actually makes me laugh since the majority of it isn't aimed at the lowest common denominator. Nash is brilliant, AJ is brilliant. Oh no! I just laughed during a wrestling show. I'm enjoying myself. This is horrible!
When I see sweaty, near-naked men rolling around on a mat, I DEMAND it be taken seriously! If I even think about cracking a smile, I immediately run to my nearest Lance Storm diatribe to restore my sanity.

I watrched Raw for the first time in about a month last night, and was treated to a midget royal rumble. So no, I don't think TNA is any goofier than WWE is.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought it was ridiculous. Not only did they have no Santino they had a freakin' midget battle royal. On the bright side, all I have to do is fast forward my PVR over commercials and any segment that features A> a further explanation of the fact that Triple H and Vince McMahon don't get along, or B> Hornswoggle, and suddenly Raw is down to 30 minutes The worst part is watching Kong/Kim II and III, then being subjected to a Diva Pillow Fight, then a "six diva tag" which opened with a botched Thesz Press and only got worse from there. And as celebrated-awful bad Westenay are, they are nowhere near as bad as King + anyone when a women's match (such as the WWE offers, even..) is on. So yeah, if TNA is the goofy cousin, then WWE is the 'special' cousin. At least they've been lately, bah gawd.

Except for the exceptional women's division.
TNa's women are the best booked thing in the promotion.
i'm talking from a booking standpoint, not an in-ring standpoint.
Personally I watch wrestling because it is absurd. I LOVED THEM MINI_RUMBLE, and that Kane was thE Smallest one.
THE MINIMAL.
Batista-cito seemed to be really on

If anyone fels that TNA is too much like WWE for its own good (and I do), the way to fix this is to remove Russo from the booking team and the writing process. Russo believes the same things that Vince does except he takes it further than even Vince would. To make the product different and more accessable to fans who hate the WWE style (and there are plenty of those) TNA needs to keep away from creative people who think like WWE and Russo is at the top of the list. Jarrett and Dixie Carter may like him personally, but, it is time for Russo to go if TNA is to get stronger as a company and is to move forward towards being truly a different product from WWE.

Hey, WWE gets midget Battle Royals, you guys get AJ Styles in themed costumes.
Only difference is I found the midget Battle Royal funny.

No. After sitting through the midget mini-royal rumble last night on Raw, I've decided Raw is no less silly (crappy) than TNA.
As long as Hornswoggle is a featured performer, Raw has no claim to be more sophisticated than TNA.
I actually changed the channel when he drew the door on the wall and ran through it. That's extreme behavior for me.

Yes, I agree. However, I'm not gonna say this fact makes it complete shit. It does well what the WWE fails at (women's division, etc) while WWE does what TNA fails at (main eventers).
