Without any decent competition WWE doesn't feel the need to raise the bar very high. It's no secret why the storylines were so good during the Monday Night Wars.

The ONLY good thing for me about this storyline atm, is seeing Stephanie on screen more. Still my number 1 Diva of all time. Forget Trish or Lita.

And I agree, Triple H is not working as a heel boss. However, I think Vince is on the verge of passing control over to his daughter and son in law.

Yes, those tag matches were excellent. They need another decent match on RAW like Michaels v Cena the day after WM 23. An hour they went for, still in my top 10 matches on RAW.

It's not that I think HHH's role isn't working (I actually think it is - he's better suited as a heel), it's just this whole 'disgruntled employee being forced to do as he's told or be sacked' thing has been done to death and Big Show did exactly the same with John Laurenitis a few years back during which storyline he was given a (kayfabe) iron-clad contract. So why are Stephanie and HHH threatening to sack him? Illogical.

Daniel Bryan is massive over right now so why are they focussing on the Rhodes family? Cody and Dustin are good characters but in the middle of a monster push for Bryan they seem to side-step that storyline.

Miz and Ziggler, neither are working as faces. I get that WWE wants to give them time to develop and Miz is apparently really good for media duties but he's a much better heel.

Los Matadores...why? They're just Primo and Epico in pink masks. Both men although talented were jobbers under their own names and this new team will go the same way.

Antonio Cesaro is getting over as a face due to his Giant Swing so why keep him in a heel team? And why is a 'foreigner' being allowed in a right-wing pro-American team?

Lots of other things just don't make sense and I just get the feeling that TNA is just so far behind WWE right now (and rightly so) that Vince really doesn't seem to feel any need to get people working hard.

I lose interest after SummerSlam. For me the best time for WWE is from Royal Rumble up to WrestleMania. The RAW crowd day after WM are always excellent.

Russ · 08-10-2013, 22:35

Indeed, that's where "the Fandango" was born

adzii_nufc · 27-10-2013, 23:57

Remember PPV is at 12 as is Raw for a while.

adzii_nufc · 28-10-2013, 23:35

Strong rumours TNA is for sale. This could only go one way imo.

I'd have Angle back any day but I don't watch it enough to recognise anyone else's talent. Regarding last night's PPV 3/5 I enjoyed the tag match. Cena match was simple enough, CM Punk match wasn't all that great but that's Rybacks fault. Bryan and Orton wasn't too special either but again I'd blame the age of boreton for that. Typical crap ending as expected.

Best match: Tag title match.

Worst match: Los Matadores. I guess you could throw Khali and Fandango in there too. Pretty poor filler.

Me and Russ are thinking about buying it.

And rebrand as TCA (Total Celtic Action) - also move it to the UK (Wales or Scotland)

adzii_nufc · 28-10-2013, 23:43

Naturally Bischoff and Jarrett are pondering over it but I wouldn't trust Bischoff as far as I could throw him.

Bischoff was set to buy WCW back in 2001 before they TV Deal was axe.

TNA is broadcasting on an channel own by Viacom (MTV) in the US.

Seems Vince McMahon is the front runner to take over the company. Would be the second company that Sting has worked for to be run out of business by the WWF (as it was in 2001) and then WWE.

That tag filler was only put in because Curtis Axel hurt himself and had to pull out of the PPV.

Russ · 29-10-2013, 06:57

Does Vince really need TNA though? Are they that much of a threat? I can't see it myself.

Russ · 31-10-2013, 23:48

Kharma/Amazing Kong has lost a load of weight....

MalteseFalcon · 01-11-2013, 06:12

Just seen those pics, she looks great for losing some weight. Apparently she needed to because of health issues. Rumours are that she will be signing with WWE again and becoming part of Team Funk with Cameron and Naomi.

Survivor series tag match was blatantly made clear after the Wyatt family random attacks. A few more attacks over the coming weeks and you'll have your five faces.
