I like how the individual who wins the title can change the name of AND purpose of the title at any given time.
Great booking ::)

Where TNA is going wrong is they look desperate. They need to step back, get a hold of their product and figure out what to do with it. I think they have too many wrestlers, and they don't have enough TV time for all of them. Release talent they are going to do nothing with and try to build something from the ground up. Having AJ Styles with the belt back is not a bad idea. Have AJ battle Jeff Hardy and turn on Immortal would be a start. Then try to find a way to bring interest in each character.
WWE has the leg up for me in terms of better booking. Well they may have failed with breaking up the Hart Foundation and Cryme Tyme (I'll never forgive McMahon for that) they still have an interesting product. Cena getting shitted on in Nexus is great. If he turns heel at Survivor Series would be truly a boost to his character. I can honestly say the WWE has not botched the Cena/Nexus booking. Not botched booking is the best WWE has done in 4-5 years and it's better than TNA right now. That crap with the elections was, well, crap. Also, when I see LayCool in miniskirts I don't see PG. I would love to see LayCool vs. the Beautiful People. But other than that, the WWE has botch Randy Orton's title reign and everything else is not interesting. Wade Barrett is a boring character and is truly getting elevated by booking right now.
Overall, I'd say the WWE is getting a 5.5 rating on a scale of 1-10, and TNA about a 3.

To defend TNA's heel/face changes, if you watch the show every week, it's not that bad. If you're a casual watcher tho and only catch a couple EPs here and there, you're gonna get left behind.
The reason I stopped watching Raw was because the shit moved too slow and I would get boring with characters angles or drawn out storylines.
So I guess that's why I like TNA and their rapid storylines and angles, it doesn't get stale. People change, wrestling is a cut throat sport, how can you blame these characters for switching up so much? That's more realistic and interesting to me.
WWE caters to the fans, they didn't make Cena a heel cuz the fans want him, they are afraid. I would like to see Cena do a real heel turn and put us in theater mode instead of the fan majority dictating his entire character and direction.
And yeah TNA does have way too many ppl. If you look on their website roster that shit is enormous. It's not good when you have some wrestlers and storylines switching in and out each show, taking turns. You gotta have steady storylines at all levels of your show that can have a little focus time for EVERY week.

See, and that might have worked in the Attitude Era, but now it's just plan confusing. I was following up until Hogan switch, and the only thing I can think of is trying to rehash the nWo, which worked in 1996 but it's 2010. They need new stars and they need to build them on the backs of the established stars.
Side note, the best wrestling org is on TV, RoH is on some HD network right after Raw. The best of wrestling is there.
