They made Vince into a billionaire while sacrificing their health, families, and for some even their sanity.

Trust? Vince Mcmahon being trustworthy is laughable.

If TNA were managed properly for the past 3 years they would be in prime position to sign some major WWE stars.

At this point they would be wise to extract as much as they can from Hardy before he goes back to WWE.

Vince has always been a good guy, but he has to make hard choices(Not wanting to pay out to Bret, not pushing Savage, having Lesnar go over Austin...) strongly disagree, unless Spike TV takes over Tba they will never have the money to compete with WWE.

TNA is funded by Panda corporation which has much more money than the WWE.

Vince treated talent in the 80's and early 90's like circus animals. The wrestlers can never thank Uncle Ted enough for nearly running McMahon out of business and forcing him to change his corporate model.

If Carter weren't such a twit and they put Heyman or Ross in charge things could take off.

Hardy stays. CM Punk, Ziggler, and another big name jump ship. That could be a spark to something major.

TNA simply doesn't have the backing required to let them compete with WWE on any serious level. Until that changes, WWE is going to be the top dog with no real competition imo.

I don't think Vince is a "good guy" at all. I think he's a prick, and has treated his wrestlers incredibly badly in the past. That said, he did revolutionise the industry, and he does recognise when to give the people what they want.

So HHH is taking over creative from Stephanie... Hoping that means that we go back to letting wrestlers have more freedom with their promos. The heavily scripted stuff of today hurts a lot of performers imo.

Brodus heel turn. Awesome. Kind of wished it was him AND Albert, but I'll take it as is.

I have to admit, these last few weeks, Orton has been on form. He's slowly getting back to the kind of effective heel that he was during his legend killer days, and that is only a good thing. Having him feud with Bryan (which I assume they'll be doing after Cena's rematch) can only be a good thing, as Bryan, like he did on Raw, always gets a good match out of Orton. Orton is an amazing wrestler. He's incredibly talented when it comes to the physical stuff, and, like guys like Bryan and Cody, he makes the difficult stuff look damn near effortless.

He just struggles with the fact that he's lazy as ****. He needs someone great to really get the best out of him, and Bryan is it, imo.

What I am worried about Bryan is, that it seems he will have a rematch against Cena. Somewhere in my gut, I think it might happen at this years WrestleMania. If that's the case, I am just worried on what will happen to Bryan. Cause I have a feeling Orton by that time, will no longer be champion and it will most likely be Cena.

I would be very surprised if Cena wrestled Bryan at Wrestlemania.

If Hogan is at all involved (and it's very much looking like he will be), I can't see Cena not being in it with him. Or finally challenging the Undertaker's streak.

I have heard rumors that Cena will most likely be the one to end the streak and if that's so, I just might be done with the wwe.

Cena breaking the streak would be an absolutely colossal mistake. Cena cannot get any more over than he is or has been in the past. He's peaked and moved past it. He's held the title a ridiculous amount of times, and, good or bad, will be long remembered as a massive part of the WWE.

I could honestly see Taker beating him, and retiring with the streak intact. Beating Cena > beating anyone else, etc.

The talk I've heard is Taker wants to put over a guy and retire.

Shawn won't wrestle Bryan because of his match with Taker

So the rumor is Bryan going over Taker.

If Bryan goes over Taker, Vince must be actually conceding that Bryan is what's best for business.

There are really only two viable options to break the streak.

Ryback- All that they built up in Ryback up to the Punk title matches has been squandered. Build him back up and have him break the streak and take the belt.

Ziggler- I don't know what part the concussion played in the abomination that was his 2nd title reign, but it was horrendous. The crowd is solidly behind him, it is time for him to enter main event status again. Ziggler beating Taker makes him a headliner for years to come.

Ziggler is not a bad wrestler, but he has a bad habit of talking out against the company.

Ryback is joke level currently.

My picks for going over are Reigns or Sheamus...

In other news Batista will make a return but no word on plans. Derp.

SILENCE!... 😂 Both Ryback and Ziggler have been looking really sh**y as of late and you can throw in Curtis Axel as well. Ever since Ryback lost the rivalry to the superhero, it's been horrid.

Ziggler has so much potential. It's a shame where he is now.

Hey, stop stealing my SILENCE catchphrase!

😠

Ziggler is exactly the kind of scrappy, makes you look awesome wrestler that would have an amazing match against the Undertaker. His performances are almost always as good as if not better than anyone else on the roster, and have you seen his promos recently on the app? The dude shines when he's not being overly scripted.

Agreed.

On a different note, I am noticing things about the Shield and The Wyatt Family.

As far as the Shield is concerned, to me it is starting to look like Ambrose is the weakest link of the team. Ever match as of late, he seems to lose and it makes him look bad.

The second is, I notice that Bray hardly competes in the ring. When he does compete, he is not in the ring for that long. It's mostly Rowan and Harper doing all the in ring work.

Bray was working injured, he should get more ring time soon.

Rumor has it Taker wants to put Bryan over @ WM as a favor to Shawn for not breaking their retirement match.

Wow this has been dead lately.

Rumor mill time

Mason Ryan may replace a face Roman Reigns in the shield

Batista will win the rumble and face Lesnar for the title at wrestlemania

John Cena will face the Wyatt Family and fued through EC and into Wrestlemania.

Multiple Nxt superstars will debut at the rumble.

Reigns will fued with a returning heel Sheamus.

Breaking news:

Dolph Ziggler has a concussion from a taping of superstars vs Ryback. Early reports say it isn't minor and he could miss wrestlemania.
