What other promotions does WWE recognize? I know they mentioned NJPW in regards to styles and lesnar. Have they ever mentioned ROH/TNA?

They mentioned RoH quite a lot especially when Punk and Bryan were active. They don't mention smaller companies like Chikara or anything ultra violent like CZW
ROH and NJPW was mentionated in CM Punks' pipebomb....
TNA probably doesn't be recognize
RoH, yes.
TNA? I don't think so.
Corbin shouted "GO BACK TO RING OF HONOR!" at Crews during Takeover: London
They mention NJPW, ROH, & IWGP
>>1391822
ROH, PWG, NJPW. Pretty much anything besides TNA.
>>1391838
New Japan *IS* IWGP
>>1391827
Dean Ambrose mentioned CZW in his Wrestlemania 32 promotions.

They only let the Dudleys and Sting mention TNA for their "documentaries". I think Stone Cold tried to mention them in one of the WWE podcasts with the intention to bury them, but got cut off by whoever he was interviewing.
MY INDIE BONES NO

Ahh didn't know that.
So basically everyone but TNA.
I've always wondered specifically why Vince acts like TNA doesn't exist. Is it:
1. Jeff Jarrett (who Vince had to pay $500,000 to drop the IC belt to Chyna when his contract expired)
2. Hogan, Foley, Hall, Nash, etc (Flair who was supposed to be retired) going there.
3. Cornette and Russo having involvement at different times.
4. Write in your answer below.
PWG
Cena brought up PWG last week. They will acknowledge CZW and PWG but no TNA?

Yeah fuck TNA
>>1393020
Jarret you stupid idiot.
Everybody knows that.
I've noticed they've been having wrestlers and commentators say IMPACT a lot lately; no way it's a coincidence. I'm sure it's been more of a rib at them.

>$500,000
I knew he got paid to drop the belt, was it really that much?
>>1393054
I've read different amounts, anywhere from 300,000 to 500,000

They'll mention old promotions that were buried by the WWF like the old NWA, WCW, ECW, WCCW, Jim Crocket, and Smoky Mountain. They'll also mention promotions that the WWF cooperated, shared talents from, and treat them as more or less equals like NJPW, AJPW, CMLL, and UFC. Rarely will the WWE directly mention companies like ROH, PWG, and modern NWA unless the their talent directly mention it. They'll never ever mention TNA because they suck.
TNA gets ignored for now but they will bring it up once it goes under and buried forever.
