TNA is WWE's primary rival. They are rapidly growing and are competing well with WWE. Many people will remember WCW from the 80's and 90's, (now owned by WWE) a company which grew so fast, began to beat WWE in ratings. TNA appears to be the new WCW as they are very similar. Many WWE employees go to TNA if they are released from their contracts in WWE (fired). Due to the fact that TNA is also "sports entertainment", it has many similar elements to WWE. They both represent women in similar ways, such as promiscuousity so that men are attracted, however, TNA does this less as they also make alot of their women look tough, powerful and dominant in the ring.
On the left is 'Awesome Kong', which clearly has some reference to King Kong due to her size and strength. She is the biggest, strongest and most dominant woman in TNA.
On the right is Christy Hemme (former WWE employee). She does often wrestle, however she is used as a sex object. This is obvious from her pose on the right, as it will appeal to men. She is also wearing provactive clothing which represents her in a promiscous way.
Also the fact that Awesome Kong is wearing black connotes evil, while Christy Hemme is wearing white connotes good and purity.
