I know this isn't a WWE versus TNA discussion, but I think TNA is just as good as WWE right now, if not better. It's kinda sad how WWE doesn't acknowledge world champions when they come over from TNA. Edge said a couple of weeks ago that Christian had never been world champ. Although he is probably referring to the WWE heavyweight belt, Christian is already known as a 3 or 4 time world champion, having won the ECW and NWA world titles.
WWE doesn't need to refrence TNA World Titles. If Edge was to of said about Christian's TNA run they are basically advertising TNA. WWE sees WWE as the only relavent thing in the buisness. They are wrestling.......or Sports Entertainment according to them. They like to live in thier own little bubble. Plus WWE doesn't count the ECW title as a World Championship since he end of 2007.

Anyway, TNA right now is interesting. I like the angle with The Beautiful People and how Velvet has to remind Madison and Lacey about their language. That's really funny. Also, they have title matches all the time, while WWE does not. WWE wrestling is somewhat stale at times.
TNA give away PPV quality matches on TV, yet have iMPACT! filler matches on PPVs. Jeff vs RVD was PPV quality. But stuff like Nash vs Young is iMPACT! matieral. Most of the booking makes little to no sense. But its LOLTNA.

What TNA needs is Shelton Benjamin. And more Japanese / Chinese wrestlers. Japan has some of the best wrestlers around. They need to reinsert Kiyoshi, Funaki, Jimmy Wang Yang and Okada.
TNA has a roster of 50+ guys. They use about 20 of them regularly. If Shelton were to come to TNA it would knock someone out of thier spot. TNA can do well with the people they have. Plus Shelton isn't much of a draw anyway. TNA is building Pope and Anderson for Main Eventer status. Shelton doesn't have any place to fill. Unless he came with Charlie Haas to build the tag division again. Which would be good.
Kiyoshi is currenty Suicide, and is more likely going back to All Japan. Funaki is already full-time again with ZERO-1 in Japan, and i don't see him coming back to work for the states again while he is a highly respected star over there. Yang isn't even Chinese or Japanese, he is Calafornian. He'll just lurk around the indies. And Okada came to TNA for a learning excursion, ala Liger to All Star in the UK or Ultimo Dragon to Mexcio. He won't be around for long before returning to New Japan.
