The difference is this.. WWE has not always "kept on trucking".. They fell from a dominant #1, to a failing #2 quickly.... TNA wouldn't go bankrupt without Styles, but they would HAVE to develop another megastar, and there is no one in the industry that could fill AJ's shoes currently. He is exactly what TNA needs on top, doesn't matter if you like him or not, but there is not one person who could get that over with the TNA audience.
Only close example is John Cena with WWE, and around 40% of the audience wishes he would never be on TV again... Actually, Edge is the perfect example.. I've never heard a WWE fan not like Edge, same with TNA fans and Styles.
WWE kept on trucking as in they didn't go bankrupt and closed down. They got knocked down for a while but kept going, building, and eventually put their competition out of business.
You made the statement that TNA would fold shortly afterwards if they lost AJ. I didn't say that. You did. That's the difference. WWE hasn't ever gone down like that cause of the loss of one wrestler.
In fact the example you're trying to use was after the loss of several top flight wrestlers, not one, thus making your counter point completely invalid to your comment that TNA would be done without AJ.

Difference is, if AJ was gold on the mic it wouldn't help as much as others. I know it sounds insane, but the TNA core audience is built on fans that love wrestling, in ring wrestling. Your not finding more than 3-4 people in the world on AJ's level right now. While as an on-screen character those that love AJ styles and respect what he did would still watch him, not a great example since Edge is gold on the mic, but people would still watch him... Better example, Bret Hart, AJ is very similar to him as he is "the best in the world" in the right, but average or slightly above average at best on the mic(although i'd give AJ the edge, as Bret is just plain boring on the mic. AJ can hold his own with some of the greats on the stick.), people still tune in to see Bret, and he's had a stroke, been out of the ring 10 years+ & is average at best on the mic. People respect what he accomplished, would be the same with AJ as an on-screen character in TNA.
Whatever you think man. Trust me no one is tuning in every week to watch Bret Hart bumble around on the mic, respecting his career or not. If he was on, every single week, in an important on screen role people wouldn't be tuning in to see that, outside of the really hardcore Bret Hart fans. Cause he's simply not good enough on the mic. Doesn't matter what he used to do in the ring the fact is he cant do it anymore.
The same would go for AJ. He'd have his rabid fans who would still tune in to watch him bore a person, like watching paint peel, on the mic but the by and large wrestling fan community (Which is what you need to gain your ratings and pull more and more buys) simply wouldnt. They'd respect what he did, they'd cheer if he showed up once in a while, they'd be thrilled if he had a short term on screen role. Anything more than that and they'd become bored, cause he's average on the mic, and simply wouldn't draw people in without his in-ring abilities.

That's your right, but if you ever see TNA coming around look into it. You will not ever hear a bad thing about a TNA house show that isn't ridiculous, they always deliver in the ring and usually have an interesting promo on them.
This is complete and total crap. I've had a couple of friends who've worked for TNA, in security, and such. Did so for years and they, as employees of TNA and wanting to see them succeed, had just as much bad to say about the show as they had good.
So sell that bill of BS somewhere else.

more like 60%.. 1.2 rating vs 3.1 rating, is what 33%.. Not 10%. Sorry mr WWE fanboy.

Only production is far "superior". Skill of wrestlers goes to TNA, no doubt your just a blind WWE homer & Writing of Raw & iMPACT is a wash... Only SmackDown is superior.
Man, seriously, shut up with this. I'm beyond sick at this point of you calling him a WWE homer and fanboy when you can look back at your posts and see that you're far and way (it's really not even a contest at this point) the biggest fan boy in this entire thread. You calling anyone else a homer or a fan boy is beyond stupid at this point and it's more than a little tiring.

The production value is much much better in WWE, no doubt. However, wrestling ability and writing are definately not much better in the WWE than TNA. The writing is pretty awful in both actually and wrestling ability.. well that's a toss up. Both companies have some pretty damn skilled guys and some guys who are stiff and just bad in ring too.
Take notes kid. This is how you post as an objective wrestling fan of TNA (Or WWE). If you had half the clue that Roy does you'd be light years ahead of where you are now.
