History TakeThat / ProfessionalWrestling

** On the 2/25 episode of iMPACT!, there was a bit where [[TheBigBad Eric Bischoff]] is sitting at his desk talking to someone on the phone and he says to them "No, we are not using celebrity guest hosts every week. Why would we do that, that's a terrible idea."
*** In all fairness, WWE doesn't use guest hosts as much anymore, and when they do, they do maybe like one skit or something and virtually never wrestle.

* Eric Bischoff posted a rather scathing blog about how stupid WWE was for going PG and focusing on a younger audience. He goes on and talks about how they were losing viewers because of it (the RAW he brings up still maintained their average overall rating while going up against Monday Night Football), procedes to bring up the demographic data, and states that "facts hurt". This blows up in his face spectaculary as the very week he says this TNA Impact dropped below a 1.0 rating for the first time in several weeks. Facts hurt, eh Eric?

* During the earlier days of Fortune, Kazarian made Take Thats towards the WWE, from referring to the crowd as the "TNA Galaxy," to shilling Fortune by saying that they weren't "[[TheNexus a group of rookies]]."

** One match had Buba Ray Dudley staple a "ECW fears TNA" sign on Abyss's forehead? So what message does that send to Abyss again?

** The WWF had Gillberg, who was basically a Bizarro version of WCW's biggest star {{Goldberg}}. Unlike Goldberg, Gillberg was pale, scrawny, had cheap entrance effects, a fake chant, had a shitty dotted line tattoo that mocked Goldberg's, [[{{Jobber}} could only win with outside help]], has the catchphrase "Who's First" instead of "Who's Next," and was even slaked to have a 173-match losing streak.

* The new Smackdown theme song since the "Decade of Smackdown" Contains the phrase "Do you really want to [[TotalNonstopAction Cross the line]]." Intentional? Maybe...

* The Miz is moved to RAW, proclaiming that he is awesome and trying to score with chicks, insulting John Cena with arguments echoing the sentiments expressed by his online critics. Cena does not respond to these (or even notice Miz) for about 8 weeks, due to either being involved in other feuds at the time or being physically incapicitated. Leading up to The Bash Cena finally confronts The Miz and tells him they have a main event match, the resulting match is Cena no-selling everything the Miz threw at him then utterly squashing him, completely burying The Miz. He then repeated to squash The Miz whenever they had a match ending on Raw leading up to Summerslam where Miz had the help of 10 other wrestlers and Cena still came back, squashed him and pinned him, banning him from Raw. So much work and effort put in by the WWE So much work and effort put in by the WWE to ignore a significant portion of their audience, refusing to listen to them and belittle them by showing that their opinions simply do not matter to the WWE. Take THAT indeed! The Miz would come back a week later, as a slightly more serious wrestler and is their current US champion as well as winning the RAW Money in the Bank contract which effectively guarantees he'll be world champ in less than a year.
