The Rock On WWE Raw, Zack Ryder Music Video?, Ric Flair Update

Richard – Despite your most recent post, TNA is hardly a "competitor" of WWE. It doesn't come even close. Set aside the fact that WWE has a much more impressive roster, the more relevant factor is that WWE is a powerful global brand with unparalleled reach among its target markets. Their television deals, merchandise licensing contracts and gate receipts are worth billions. TNA rents out space in a studio, has to offer free admission to their tapings, and is solely relying on nominal PPV buys to cover their operational expenses. Do you really think that Vince McMahon is testing the waters with the Ric Flair legal affair? Of course, he's not going to ignore legal counsel, but he's hardly afraid of TNA, which is most certainly NOT a competitor.
