That was his brother who died.

This surprises me considering the bad blood between Vince McMahon and Brett Hart (See: Montreal Screw Job: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Screwjob )

I thought Brett HATED Vince !

I used to be a 100% WWF fan from the 80's all the way to the 2000's. However, when ECW and then WCW folded and their talent dumped into WWF, the writing went WAY downhill. WWF ended up with way too many workers and the storylines suffered a lot by trying to work them all in. I lost interest shortly after that time. Also, around that time, they got rid of their talented head writer, Vince Russo, who in my opinion was and still IS the best writer in the business. The combination of trying to fit ALL those workers into the shows along with Vince Russo's departure caused the writing to drop to awful and severely BORING levels.

It wasn't until years later that I discovered TNA. It was kind of fresh, had the comic book writing style I really enjoyed (that the WWE had been pretty much doing away with since Russo left), and they had acquired some really good ring talent. It felt like I was watching 90's era WWF: Attitude era all over again. THEN I found out a major contributing factor for that. TNA's head writer is none other than Vince Russo.

While WWE curently has quite a bit of good talent and has improved a bit over the past couple years, it still hasn't reached the level of writing that TNA has. TNA has far more varieties of characters where WWE has pretty much "I'm Just a tough guy douch bag" for almost every character (with a few small exceptions). If you like the comic book style of wrestling with more variety of characters, like I do, TNA is the best choice between the two.
