Competition is good for business, but there are some situations where two companies trying to do the same thing aren't competing directly with each other for each individual customer.
Take the fast food industry, for example. You likely prefer either McDonald's or Burger King, so they spend millions of dollars every year in an attempt to convert loyal customers from their competition into one of their own regulars.
Wrestling is a different kind of business because fans don't have to choose one or the other. You can only eat so many Big Macs or Quarter Pounders, but we can consume as much wrestling as we want from as many companies as we like.
The more promotions running at once, the better it is for the entire wrestling industry. Sure, some fans might leave one company for another like stated in the first slide, but it doesn't have to be one or the other if you like what both companies are doing.
Variety is especially important in an industry where it feels like everything has been done before. Each promotion provides its own atmosphere, so there is something for every kind of fan.
WWE might not suffer if TNA goes out of business, but it won't benefit in any way, either. What do you think? Is it in WWE's best interests for TNA to stay in business?
