If you could only have one, World Wrestling Entertainment or Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, which one would you choose?
There is only one stipulation on the poll. Both companies would stay with the roster as it is right now. So, for example, an unacceptable response would be...
I would keep WWE and then move Joe over to ECW to face Punk
...Just pretend that one company's talent roster would fall into a black hole.

TNA it is still fresh to me. WWE went stale in about 2003.

TNA. As ridiculous as some of the stories and matches are sometimes, the talent roster is top notch.

TNA boggles my mind with their stupidity. Not that the WWE is much better at all times, but goodness gracious, TNA makes less sense than Donnie Darko.
Plus, think of it this way, in the WWE there's a midget named Hornswoggle that runs through walls and dances with an albino named Finlay. That's just on a level of brilliance not seen since Einstein was disguised as Robin Hood.

TNA, although I love Y2J and Orton plus edge is my favourite wrestler.....I just think TNA gives me more.

WWE.
They still have occasional good matches without migraine-inducing angles.

WWE, because they can afford all the top TNA talent anyway.

TNA hands down, WWE is terribly stale right now. With that said TNA needs to stop picking up every WWE has been that comes their way, and instead need to concentrate on building their own fresh stars and gimmicks.

Let's pick TNA, a company that in 5 years is yet to turn a profit......I'm sure that would do wonders for the wrestling business.

WWE. I'm a casual fan so when I do watch, I generally enjoy everything and don't overanalyze it. They also have matches over 3 minutes. That's a huge plus for them.

Plus, without TNA, a lot of guys could come back to ROH.

It depends what WWE...
I prefer raw to impact, but I don't watch smackdown or ecw.
When TNA does comedy, it generally works better than it does in WWE. Their women's division is great, and they treat the women in the company with some modicum of respect (as opposed to wwe's attitude where you get them in their underwear every chance you get). They have character development (look at the Angle/Christian feud).
However, their storylines can be very dumb (not wcw levels of dumbness but close) waste too much time on worthless wwe rejects, and the announce team seriosly sucks.
TNA does some things well, but they do a lot of things wrong. But, then you can say the same of wwe.

Impact's matches arent as short as they once were. Really. Well, I'm willing to give it another chance then. But as of this post, I still prefer RAW to anything I've seen on iMPACT. Saying this, I really don't watch too much other WWE since I don't have the time.

Where's the option for ROH over both? I'll go with WWE, because I can actually sit through a RAW without feeling the need to stab pointy things in my eyes every 4 minutes. That and it's impossible to sit there and watch TNA with friends, because all we do is make fun of Tenay and West the whoooooole time.

TNA. Not even close.
TNA is a wrestling show.
WWE is a sketch comedy/sitcom about a wrestling show. It's liek Fawlty Towers with Vince MacMahon replacing John Cleese.

Given maybe I enjoy the WCW storylines more now that time has passed, but I think they were so much better. I have yet to see anything top 'Abyss shot his dad, oh wait his MOM shot his dad and he took the blame while Sting tries to convert Abyss to Christianity' as far as stupidity. This includes Katie Vick.

"My dream is for my big break to come and I get to sign a contract with ____. Maybe someday I might main event ________ and become world champion."
Would aspiring wrestlers right now more likely fill in the blanks with, "the WWE" and "Wrestlemania" or "TNA" and "Bound For Glory"? With all the WWE's faults, they're still a better entertainment value than TNA.

Money, exposure, popularity, which all goes to the WWE.

Would aspiring wrestlers right now more likely fill in the blanks with, "the WWE" and "Wrestlemania" or "TNA" and "Bound For Glory"? You could have asked the question to young wrestlers in 1990 and exchange the TNA and Bound For Glory options with "WCW" and "Starrcade." The young wrestlers all would have said WWF and Wrestlemania. Six years later, their answers would have changed. Saying which company is on top isn't proof of superiority. Lots of fans thought NWA was better than Vince's Hulkamania era in the 80s and many thought WWF was better during the 83 weeks the nWo nearly put Vince out of business.
