RoH fans need not change the station these days to see their favorite TNA wrestlers in action anymore. They might tune in for the big events, such as The Whole F'n Show edition of Impact, or to check up on previously beloved wrestlers from their past, but that's about as far as their viewership goes. WWE fans have, for the most part, laughed at TNA's attempt to attract them. What does TNA have to show for this effort? Not much. The Knockouts division has seen significant losses in talent, and the X division has all but been swept under the rug. With TNA management putting so much focus on captivating storylines and signing familiar wrestlers that will appeal to the 18-35 male demographic who are regularly watching WWE, the very foundation of TNA has been ignored, forgotten, and chipped away at. The move to Monday nights, and airing live every other week, to directly compete with WWE. Since then, it's been one piece of 'shocking' news after another. They signed on big names such as Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff to beef up potential storylines. Instead of sticking to their formula of success and converting the WWE-type fans with their incredibly entertaining match style, they decided to go more mainstream. TNA started growing, attracting the attention of many.

That was TNA's place in the professional wrestling scene, and they did it to perfection. That was TNA's bread and butter, if you will. TNA had a more extreme style, however, and featured the best women's wrestling in the business, which made them stand out from the other two. The two promotions even shared wrestlers years ago. Once upon a time, TNA appealed more to an RoH-type of audience. Total Nonstop Action lays somewhere in the middle of these two promotions. This leads me to conclude that most professional wrestling fans seem to fall into one of two categories: those who watch for the 'soap opera' aspect as Linda McMahon calls it, and those who watch for the match performance. They promote, and do so extremely well, to ensure high turn-out at every show.

They've travelled to every corner on Earth. The WWE has four programs a week, as well as monthly pay-per-views. Regardless of how watered down the WWE becomes, regardless of the ridiculous angles it has pursued, WWE's adult watchers will continue to watch because they've been conditioned to be lifelong fans and its younger audience will laugh it up and enjoy the mild violence their parents allow them to watch. It's an excellent strategy, to be quite honest. The adults today grew up with it, and its programming is child-friendly to reel in new watchers while they're young. World Wrestling Entertainment - the monolith, the giant, the most successful promotion in the world. The fans love RoH because of its no-nonsense storylines and the fact that they fully utilize its talented roster. Its fanbase is arguably the best in the business. They pride themselves in their match quality and it pays off. The promotion has built itself solidly on DVD sales, and almost from its inception went on the road to promote themselves. Aside from the quickly rising Dragon Gate USA, there's no competition in sight. Ring of Honor is king of the indy promotions, without question. Let me break down the reason the other two promotions are doing so well, then get back to how it directly affects TNA. My intentions here are not to offend anyone, but to figure out why TNA can't seem to catch a break from the IWC. Hang with me, let me explain how it works. This has led me to make a broad generalization which certainly holds a lot of truth to it: the more an individual dislikes TNA, the probability of said individual being an RoH or WWE mark increases. I also hear negative chatter while watching WWE events with a crowd.

While watching the RoH pay-per-view last night, I heard a lot of negative chatter from fellow watchers about TNA. What's happening with the house AJ Styles built?
