before people say about TNA copying wwe cause wwe are so great i remember when wwf wouldnt have survived if not for copying wcw and ecw AND signing their tallents ( essentially helping putting them out of buisness ) and of course im on about the early days, so dont anyone mention how bad wcw ended up or whatever, this is back in say 96 before vinces attitude speach and all that. but all companies have copied (or thought of the same) ideas since forever, just happens to be more prodominant/blantant and such now Well some of the concepts of the attitude era was stolen from ECW. But TNA is just deliberately copying WWE's main storylines to the point where its scary. Scary as in scary bad and cringe worthy.

From your list, the only one I can think of WWE doing something after TNA is when Kane put his mask on after Abyss does. Most of the time, it's TNA that does something similar or the same as WWE does. I will admit there are some things WWE has taken from TNA, though it's not as noticeable to me than when TNA does it cause a lot of people kind of expects TNA to take something WWE has done. Personally, it doesn't bother me, it's not like I watch TNA regularly as I used to. There aren't anything original in wrestling anymore, but I will say if TNA wants to "steal something" from another promotion, I'd rather have them steal something that was successful many years ago and at least try to make that work for them. I remember one of the earliest Anotnio Cesaro promos from FCW had Cesaro almost word for word take a promo from Berlyn in WCW. Stuff like that would be fine and acceptable to me. WWE has been building to Kane putting the mask back on for months though, with the it being inside that case in the office.

Nope? I can't bring myself to watch TNA regularly, so it doesn't effect me.

WWF - Steve Austin has a bald head and a goatee WCW - Goldberg has a bald head and a goatee WCW - Sting is a goth guy dressed in black WWF - Undertaker is a goth guy dressed in blackUndertaker was a goth guy dressed in black, when Sting was still a blond, painted-up surfer dude.

Well, considering WWE is just recycling old ideas that they've done before..they're not copying TNA, just doing similar things that they've done before

TNA has an undersized, underdog bearded champion less than a week after... WWE has an undersized, underdog bearded champion less than a year after ROH has an undersized, underdog bearded champion.
So WWE AND TNA suck for ripping off ROH.
Or maybe:
ROH had the Summer of Punk before... WWE had the Summer of Punk.
So WWE sucks for recycling a ROH storyline to use it for the exact same wrestler.
Or how about this one:
Evolution is the major heel faction in WWE in 2014 Evolution was the major heel faction in WWE in 2004
So WWE sucks for ripping off the WWE.
By the logic of some in this thread that means ROH > WWE > TNA. Look out WWE universe because this fall we will see Steve Corrino leading S.C.U.M. into Raw to destroy the WWE.

The only thing worse than TNA and WWE copying each other is when WWE recycle old storylines and not many fans seem to notice. At least neither TNA nor ROH recycle old storylines.

But its only with the same people. (Cena has to defeat evil)(Kane takes off mask, becomes a softy, must be the monster again) i haven't seen them recycle storylines. it has been pretty fresh for half a year for me at least. hey TNA.....STOP...just STOP. You haven't been the same since a year after signing with Spike. I wonder if they were to go out, which talent would go to WWE?

I think he brings up a valid point. The entire Dixie being the Authority, and EY and Abyss thing felt a ton like TNA copying WWE, and I like TNA. MVP and the Wolves have really kind of offset that whole thing, and Bully definitely helps, but TNA didn't have to go down that road with EY. Especially since he went from being a comedy act on one episode to this guy we were supposed to take seriously as World Champion the next episode. WWE spent 7 months building Daniel Bryan's story and then they delivered flawlessly at WrestleMania. TNA decided that EY has that everyman appeal and looks, sort of, like Daniel Bryan and that they can do the same thing in a week. THEN, Dixie cuts that promo on EY after he won, making it a point to grab heel heat by saying she had the idea to have beards get over first or some such nonsense. Essentially telling the audience they were following suit.
I love Bobby Roode and the mini Beer Money reunion we are about to get and I love A Double and MVP and the Wolves, and they are doing some fun stuff right now that feels different, but their top angle feels like a direct copy of Daniel Bryan and The Authority. TNA has to be conscious of what WWE is doing, so why do something even remotely similar? It just doesn't make any sense imo.

That Hollywood Hogan guy in WCW was such a rip off of that Hulk Hogan guy in the WWF.
