Either way, this won't hurt TNA one bit and generates some buzz around them.

Very poor example.

I'm very aware of that but that's nothing compared to what Vince is trying to do.

This. It's just good business.

When selling a product, you need to appeal to your market, you need to draw them in and sell yourself. This is why Coke and Pepsi market their products differntly while selling pretty much the same thing. If Pepsi were to go out of business does that mean Coke would rake in a huge profit?

No.

Infact the death of Pepsi would damge the Cola market, which would in essence deflate sales of Coca Cola. Why? Becuase with no competition interest in Cola would go down therefore while Coca Cola now own the market they will not reap as many rewards as one might think.

The same can be said for wrestling. When WCW died did those fans then suddenly tune into WWE? No. They didn't otherwise WWE ratings would have doubled. Instead they stopped watching because their brand of choice was no longer around. They had had thier ability to pick something for them taken away and therefore no amount of Marketing by WWE is going to bring those fans in. (The same can be said for ECW fans and Attitude Era fans who stopped watching once that era was over, they only tune in every so often if someone like The Rock makes a return.)

So if WWE fans and wrestling fans tuned into TNA, and TNA started to take hold of a decent sized chunk of the Market, then WWE would benefit, not just financially but creatively. For wrestling to make a come back guess what people need to start doing? WATCH MORE WRESTLING. Not just WWE. It's simple. So if you want change in WWE, if you are growing tired of it; then watch TNA, give their ratings a boost and WWE will take notice. Instead of shitting on them and repeating things others say about the product. Just because you like The Walking Dead doesn't mean you can't watch Game of Thrones; this is how ridiculous wrestling fans are.

I watch both WWE & TNA, I enjoy both just like I enjoy Japanese Wrestling and Lucha.

The thing oyur missing is WCW almost beat WWE. it may be better for a few years but pepole keep forgeting that odds are OPNE WILL LOSE you cant keep that up for ever in most cases

So no its not better for them as they may get improved numbers but they may also lose and Vince dont want to go trhough that again.

As for the fans thing, I disagree, bunch of WWE fans watched tna, and they alos watched WCW many have and do swithc, dose it double? no but raitings dont mean anything anymore anyways since no one watchs live

Tell me which is better staying on top for as long as you can or letting an up start come in to power with an equal chance of beating you?

coke and Pepsi are a lone exception, few and few betwen while most end with one or the other lossing, or them not
"competing" at all

wwe is more like Nintendo, they can and will self sustain on their own because of their universal yubickqudy, so of course they would want any and all resistance sitting in the video librruay over at titan towers, even if they dont make one penny off of them, its the all about the god complex within the McMahon circle

It raises awareness around the fact TNA is touring and that vince is "allegedly" worried about it. It's the perfect rumor to spread around.

It isn't a rumour WWE have already booked venues in reaction.

My bad

Portraying TNA as the victims is a joke. This is typical wrestling stuff and it's not like TNA hasn't made moves in the past to screw with other companies. One more recent example I can think of the ROH/Kenny King situation.
