TNA was plagued with problems. Russo booking stupid gimmick matches (Electrified steel cage, reverse battle royale, etc.) Dixie clearly had no idea what she was doing. She had a weird obsession with celebrities. She would get F-list celebrities to appear and parade them around on TNA like they were a big deal but it only made TNA look more bootleg. The booking was often hotshoted to make up for a blunder they did the week before. They often buried their own homegrown talent at the expense of ex-WWE guys who were over the hill and couldn't go anymore. They lost their Spike TV deal. Just too much shit to mention.

Significantly more money and interest from their primary financier, and a bigger base of smarks to rally around it, since WWE has been shit for a lot longer at this point.

I've said this for a while: wrestling fans want a real wrestling show. That's why there was so much good will towards AEW initially. I think AEW has failed in that regard though. It's just a modern indie fed but with a lot of money behind it.

NWA is the closest to this but Billy is legit retarded and doesn't really know how to run or grow a business.

People forget this but TNA use to sell out venues more than AEW. I was at a house show and they sold out the entire arena. AJ styles vs somoa joe as their main event.

TNA didn't have infinite money to spend like Tony. And AEW only attracts small niche of smarks, wouldn't call it a "success"

Yes, I know. I had hopes for NWA, but Billy was even more retarded than I could have imagined. He must think Tyrus is Dusty or something.

There's still a chance AEW Collision could be this. Say what you may but Pepsi Phil picking his own supporting cast and running a show as his personal Harley Race jackoff hour is better on paper than whatever Dynamite has become in recent months. And either way it'll be funny to watch Cornette bots do a 180 and become AEW cultists overnight when Corny's boy gets his show

based AEW is bringing genuine wrestling back to north america, while TNA for almost all of it's time was just trying to imitate the sports entertainment slop the wwe was doing
