WWE is the leader in Sports-Entertainment...for now! Most of you are probably wondering why I just said that, well pull your head out of your ass!  WWE has been a disappointment has of late to say the least. They promised us new main-event stars a year ago but only Brock Lesnar has come up out out of the mid card ranks. The problem they have been dealing with is that they focus too much on segments that are distasteful and have been used to get certain feuds going or make people start puking (HHH screwing a "corpse" and Bischoff kissing Linda McMahon) and so they have not been elevating wrestlers to the main-event. They waste so much time on TV with those things that they run out of time for upcoming stars like Hurricane, Matt Hardy, John Cena, Christian, Eddie Guerrero, and Chris Benoit to name just a few.
 
TNA has hired just about every single wrestler who left or was fired by WWE and made them stars and main-event talent. Look at D'Lo Brown and Raven, who were feuding on Heat and not gaining any exposure on RAW, they are now in the NWA Title hunt! Take Jeff Jarrett, he was sold to the WWE fans as a joke and some dumb country hick that could lose to women at the drop of a hat. He was the NWA World Heavyweight Champion for 7 months. That's not to say that TNA is a place for rejects. No, it just goes to show you that TNA now has the ability to make stars better than WWE. They don't do it by stupid segments, they put their WRESTLERS in the ring and let them show the fans what they can do. The cage match between XXX and AMW is a great example of that. And while we're on the subject of Tag Teams...
 
WWE hasn't had a steady tag team besides the Dudleys and APA for more than 2 years now. They take that guy and this guy and make them WWE Tag Team Champs! Why?! Fans want the days of Harlem Heat, The Steiner Brothers, and The Outsiders back! Tag Team wrestling is tradition and most everybody loves to watch it! I know I speak for a lot of people when I say Tag Team wrestling is the Most Important Division right alongside the World Heavyweight Division. But back to the matter at hand...
 
WWE and TNA will eventually goto war with each other and it won't be the same as WWE vs. WCW! Because TNA has what most fans want to see WRESTLING with Entertainment on the side! WWE has Entertainment with a little bit of wrestling on the side, So WWE watch out because TNA has you on it's radar and it's coming fast! WWE Watch your Back Because The Competition Has Arrived!
 
And that my friends is the 2nd Edition of The Fan's Perspective!
