This is the type of mainstream exposure WWE is so desperately crying out for so this is a major score for TNA. I wonder if last weeks boost in the ratings can be attributed to this angle? Well it isn't like the WWE has a hard time getting on Cold Pizza. |

Thought by Xzibit and possibly Paul Wall, but thought nonetheless. Well, his gimmick WAS a rapper when he won the belt, so can't blame WWE for making the belt how it is. He needs to change it to a camouflage belt. After all, DEY ROLL WID A MARINE!! |

Why the hell is Pierzynski always walking around with that damn X-Division Title? When he appeared on the same show as WWE Champ Cena, it made TNA's belt look like a toy. Cenas title looks more like a toy then the X title ever will To the average ESPN sports viewer, the small/tiny (compared to the WWE title) X-Division title looks like a toy. Remember, they were next to each other on one episode so it was easy to compare. |

Well it isn't like the WWE has a hard time getting on Cold Pizza. True, but this is a positive kind of exposure for TNA, in the vein of what WWE often seeks, but then screws up. I can give them points for that. |

I can give them points for that. Hate to be Devil's Advocate here (NOT Sean O'Haire) but isn't it a bit bad that the positive exposure in this case is coming from 2 Baseball Players, neither of which are active TNA wrestlers? that's just my thought. i'm not saying it's totally bad, just that it's sorta... well i guess the best way to sum it up would be to call it "meh" |

Remember, they were next to each other on one episode so it was easy to compare. Never noticed that. Don't see why TNA doesn't/didn't just get a bit of a bigger title |

Long as neither of them are World Champ.  |

Anything TNA can do to bring in more viewers is A+. As long as they don't do anything outrageous.

I look at it this way.
Both companies want the mainstream exposure.
TNA is using the Sox and David Eckstein.
WWE is using Kevin Federline.
I'm gonna give the nod to TNA on this one.

As far as I'm concerned, any publicity is good publicity for TNA, unless Russo goes off his meds... They should get Christian Cage on Cold Pizza somehow, for the peeps.

Heres the difference though...the K-Fed and Cena match has been hyped on several talk shows and the way WWE is looking at it and the way its being hyped it could draw big ratings for E(unless somehow,OU/Boise State can manage to draw,which it should because I'd rather see a match between two schools that never have faced off in a game with one being unbeaten than 2 people I really hate fight.)But basically saying I have the give the mainstream exposure to E because its being talked about on various talkshows whereas only ESPN and local Chicago and St.Louis affiliates are talking about the Baseball feud. |
