Even though they annoy the hell out of me at times, my heart lies with WWE. It's what I was raised on as a young wrestling fan, and if for no other reason... Don West pisses me off a hell of alot more than anyone in WWE. Besides, I actually find WWE has the storylines I like better. I like the occassional mark out moments they provide me with too. I've never been able to watch TNA all the way through. I hate their ring, I hate Don West, and none of their workers make me mark once.

As for the whole arguement about the moonsault.......why not show off your skills to a crowd while breaking up a pin, im not a huge spot monkey/stunt fan but i admit some of those moves you only see in TNA are incredible, you wont get TV matches like the Kaz vs Angle match in wwe as often as you do in TNA. Smackdown is the only show imo that gurantees at least one excellent match/promo with MVP or rey rey doing his thing. Edge being my favourite wrestler, the show should not be cast off too friday nights. I like Y2J and RKO but i dont like sitting through all the raw crap I see minus santino and the jeff hardy matches. I dont even bother with ECW.
Problem is i cant watch a full epsiode or Raw or Smackdown whereas TNA keeps me intrigued throughout the whole show. They are diffrent then wwe i.e matches (zany as they might be, you try to come up with something better)Also much the talent on the roster is really deep and imho Kurt Angle is the best mainstream pro wrestler in the buisness today(last year i would have said it was benoit), Angle is the closest thing I've seen to Bret Hart in terms of in ring style and bret being my favourite wrestler I enjoy every angle match I see.

Impact
I'll watch Heroes while recording RAW on DVR. I then start watching RAW afterwards. By the time I fast-forward thru commercials, recaps, and just plain crap I'm caught-up with often two matches left to watch live.
When I DVR Impact I just forward thru commercials and maybe five-minutes of other material.
Impact isn't perfect but I think RAW is just meh.

I LOVE DOUBLE DOUBLE E!

the TNA Knockouts and Divas need places for bikini shoots.

Usually, TNA. Even though some of their stories are a little complicated, I prefer the wrestling they show.
IMO WWE's just become so boring within the last two years it's too difficult to follow.

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. you forget, if wwe weren't around tna would gain many new viewers. not all wwe fans would start watching but a very sizable chunk would. also reports have been lately that tna has begun to turn a profit. This isn't necessarily true. When WCW went under, WWE expected ratings to soar as a result of gaining their fans. In fact, the opposite happened, and ratings actually declined. The demise of WWE probably wouldn't benefit TNA as much as you think.

Some of 'em might just go away.
I like both, but WWE commands my attention more, even when it's bad. Though credit to TNA, I dig em alot.

as Kozlov woudl say Double Double E.
TNA, Even though they've got wrestlers I like, hasn't been able to hold my attention since their days back on Fox Sports, for some reason.

i also gotta add tna has a great roster, the booking just makes everybody irrelevant, the commentators take the impact off of most serious situations, and in general it just comes off as an episode of robot chicken

I was going to vote WWE until you mentioned the black hole thing, which I don't want Booker, Christian, and Sting to end up.

Overall TNA entertains me more. I like how they handle their talent better than the WWE. I like their wrestling better. Mostly, as a long time wrestling fan, I like how TNA has continuity.
If people were allies/enemies in angles past, they remain that way for the most part in angles future. Even if they don't appear in a run for years down the line. I remember, and it throws me off when the in-ring personas don't.

It's been said already, but many will probably just find other non-wrestling things to watch.

If I had to pick? WWE, by a wide margin. TNA has improved, and I generally try to catch at least a little of both companies.

I enjoy chunks of impact, haven't watched any WWE programming for around 2 years, but when I did I found entire shows boring and stale.

TNA. The gimmick matches & storylines may be non sensical, but the matches nearly always deliver.
Outside of Triple H, Undertaker & Shawn Michaels and a couple others, WWE doesn't hold my interest at all. It's just boring & too predictable. Nonsensical > Stale.
