The "people" don't want an alternative. In 2014 Most people who watch WWE, id say 95% are WWE fans not wrestling fans. It's a difference... They're not gonna watch any other pro wrestling promotion.

Ya know... That's a good point. But I'm not sure it is purely true. The people on my fb all want an alternative and we are all WWE watchers.

This, all TNA fans watch WWE, only a minority of WWE fans watch anything else

You can't, not in America.

The majority will not watch anything but the WWE, people may say they want an alternative but they won't seek it out. Others will complain about the WWE but at the same time put down other companies because they're not as big as the WWE. A lot of fans are simply not going to support any other company like they do the WWE. Has too much history and too much of a following.

Piggyback: to be a competitor you need to be unique. TNA created something innovative yet they didn't value it.

Since ruining the X-Division they've become the wrestling equivalent of a grocery store knockoff.

In truth, some people still drink RC Cola, and some folks are nostalgic for crap like Jolt Cola. There will always be an audience for crap, but products like TNA will never be relevant to the marketplace.

There's no REASON to follow TNA if you're a casual. TNA just isn't a good alternative as it is redundant given how they rip off WWE and WCW.

Labeling TNA RC Cola was a pretty apt comparison. It is in no way a serious competitor to Coca Cola. Coke's biggest rival is Pepsi which doesn't try to be like Coke despite the similarities.

Yeah, I don't agree people won't follow other companies, just because they don't follow TNA :patrice: @Street Knowledge @Public Enemies @Shadow
They won't, its about brand loyalty more than anything else. Quality has nothing to do with it.

People always say TNA needs to be unique and different but folks were always complain when they introduce unique stuff.

":laugh: The King of the Mountain match is so stupid, too many confusing rules I can't follow it."

":laugh: A six sided ring? They look like a circus, its so stupid."

There are already plenty alternatives to the WWE out there but people will just find something 'wrong' with them too.

":laugh: Look at how small the crowd is. I can't watch this."

":laugh: All these unknown wrestlers, I can't watch this." on the flip side ":laugh: All these WWE rejects, terrible."

":laugh: They don't have a titantron? The entrance music is terrible. Where are the production values? Horrible."

"I can't watch this, there's no subtitles. I can't get into it."

"This company is just too different to what I'm used too, I can't get into it." flip side "Ugh, this company needs to be more unique. Change it up some."

"A wrestling company with nothing but women wrestlers? :laugh: Women's wrestling sucks."

This plus there's no bonified larger than life superstars for people to gravitate towards. Like Andre The Giant,Hulk Hogan,Rock,Austin, Flair. Basically that's what TNA is missing that guy that can bring in that crossover appeal; because they clearly have the talent.
