| Speaking to Acorn Online, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon rips TNA for its struggle to make any sort of impact in the ongoing "Monday Night War" with his company's RAW telecast. Notably, McMahon explains that TNA offers a dated product--"pro wrasslin'"--that is not compatible with the expectations of the modern WWE fan. "We’re in different businesses," says McMahon. "We’re in the entertainment business and they’re in the ‘pro wrasslin’ business. It’s different markets. When they moved to Monday nights they threw the kitchen sink at us and only did a fraction of our audience. It doesn’t speak well for the type of product they’re trying to present with the tawdry, blood-soaked action. I don’t think that’s what the culture wants these days.” McMahon adds that his company, which is "woven into the fabric of America," represents a true family affair. Says McMahon, "If you look at the audience for our live events you will see fathers and sons and mothers and sons and brothers and sisters. This is something an entire family can go out and enjoy together. It’s a lot like baseball in that respect." [ http://nodq.com/wwe/271553445.shtml ] | |

| hey, he speaks the truth. a 0.8 doesnt even come close to a 3. whatever in the ratings. its good to see he wants them to step up though, i guess the TNA marks can rest at ease that Vince is recognizing TNA is there | |

| I really wish that someone would point out to Vince that the company is called Word WRESTLING Entertainment and as much as he would like to deny it and change it's format; his company IS a "wrasslin'" business. | |
