I am writing, as the name might imply, on something that the WWE has lost and that TNA has possibly gained. ANY OF THE WWE RELEASES: Now this is a truly stupid move on the part of Vince McMahon and the WWE management. Not only have they released capable wrestlers with potential, but people who have a gift and or a passion for the business like Charlie Haas. He hasn't proven how much passion he has but I suspect he has a lot, but he certainly has the talent . WWE has really shot itself in the foot here, because they had and still have wrestlers with potential. But WWE also still insists on forcing "certain" WWE wrestlers down our throat every Monday night ( i.e., Triple H ). But WWE had, and still has, wrestlers with good talent, much like Chris Benoit. But in his case he has been taken from main eventing. It is sad to see how this once great World Heavyweight Champion has fallen. But in Matt Hardy's case he, like Benoit, I strongly suspect will be given a short run in the spotlight on raw with Edge and then will fade into nothing.

WWE's DISRESPECT V.S. TNA's RESPECT:

For anyone who has seen WWE SmackDown in recent weeks you know what I'm talking about when I say "disrespect." For about a month the WWE hyped the return of 'The Juice'' aka Juventued Guerrera. (Not to WWE but wrestling in general). But instead of getting the real Juventued Guerrera, a former WCW Crusierweight champion and a former WCW tag champion, we get a humbled and degraded Latin American. They (more specifically Stephanie McMahon, head script writer for the WWE) showed absolutely no respect to Juventued by having him come to the ring on a lawn mover (gee I wonder what the WWE is implying here). The mere fact that they would come up with such a storyline shows me how truly insensitive the McMahon family is (with the possible exception of Shane). What is even worse, they had Juventued insulting his own home country. An example of this is his scripted catch phrase 'We are not Mexicans, we are 'Mexicools' (Speaking for him and his partners). On the other hand, TNA has respect for their employees. They will give opportunities and dignity to wrestlers that the WWE would never dream of like Ron Killings and B.G. James. What is most important of all is that TNA realizes how important delivering real wrestling is, especially at a time like this. With WWE taking advantage of the world's problems more than professional wrestling it is important that TNA retain its character. Finally, what is most important to me is that TNA respects their fans and their wrestlers, thanks their fans, and respects their opinions. This is quite refreshing.
