Everyone on this forum is making WrestleMania predictions without the fucking Lesnar factor.
I like it. This could be a really good show this year. |

still one of the greatest promos of all time imo.
This is the backstory to the promo -Crockett Promotions in the mid 80s just blew away what the WWF was doing imho. |

Although I haven't watched Total Divas in a while, I find Eva Marie to be extremely fake, untalented and bitchy. Is she playing a character or is she just shallow?

That segment on Raw where she slapped Lawler leads me to believe that they were really trying to just push it as a stereotypical reality show character.
She is absolutely horrible and untalented though. |

I kept up with Total Divas. It was like a train wreck that I couldn't look away from.

Eva Marie definitely seems dumb and shallow, but it was also definitely constructed to be even more so by the show producers/editors.

The amazing part is the WWE sees a lot more potential value in Jojo than Eva which is why they pulled her from the show in favor of getting her actual Divas development training at NXT. |

Yeah, I noticed that JoJo pretty much became non-existant in the second part of the show.

AFAIK, Seth Rollins is the only guy who's been called up to the main roster who got an actual heel reaction when he returned to NXT. Big E & the Wyatts all got cheered.

Had a dream that Emma and Paige debuted on the main roster as a "tag team", but they had both had their personalities removed and were generic smiling and waving divas. Paige was wearing a bright neon blue one-piece singlet/gear.

I know I don't normally give my opinion on TNA wrestlers, but EC3 is kinda awesome. Also, Sting is a really good promo, and I think their program could turn out to be way better than I could have imagined.

bird I'm "seeing" suggested last night that Kevin Nash shouldn't have been in Magic Mike and "definitely didn't need to take his top off". Strongly considering never seeing her again.

In my humble opinion, Magnus should've gone into the upcoming British tour as a face. Also, Dixieland sounds very wrong.

Is there really an EC3 vs Sting program building in TNA right now???
Holy shit. An NXT star working a major program with the face of WCW. That's probably way more of a big deal in my mind right now than it is in reality. |

I think RybAxel has got more potential than people give it credit for. They just need to built properly. Have them enter into a feud with The Prime Time Players or something.

I'm really surprised by how well Ethan Carter III seems to be working as a character in TNA. I'm not really digging Dixie Carter's thing, but EC3 is pretty brilliant. I see his Tag Team Title shot leading to him choosing Sting as his partner, only for Sting to turn on EC3 mid-match and allowing their opponents to retain. I hope it's not The BroMans however. Maybe they should just go ahead and put the Tag Titles on Eric Young & Abyss before they move them back to Bad Influence, where they belong.
Austin Aries is the X-Division Champion and has Zema Ion coming in as an impending challenger. If TNA were smart, they'd have Ion reveal that he'd be using the title shot close to Destination X, so he can "Option C" his way into a World Title match if he chooses. Part of me really wants Christopher Daniels to be the guy who gets to Option C and get a much-deserved shot at the World Heavyweight Title though. Daniels can win the title from Aries closer to Destination X. I just hope TNA get some real tag teams signed so that Daniels and Kazarian can take a break from Bad Influence, even though they shouldn't permanently split. End it on good terms so you can go back after Daniels has had a run as World Champ. I've got a feeling that Gunner's World Title shot is going to lead to James Storm costing him the match and Storm turning heel to feud with another ex-partner. I'd rather see Magnus defeat Gunner cleanly and the loss bury into Gunner's psyche as Storm tries to play head-cooler and career mentor. Gunner eventually snaps and turns on Storm, and adopts an "I hear the voice of God" delusional heel. |

TNA should really push hard to get The American Wolves and The Briscoes for their company. Just have them wrestle each other each week and people will begin to care about the TNA tag team division again. Why not give Paul London & Brian Kendrick a call too?

I would watch it and likely enjoy it, but it wouldn't bring in any new fans, nor would many people 'care' about it.

I think it would attract more fans in the sense that quality attracts fans who are aware of a professional wrestling product but don't watch it much. I'd tune into TNA far more often, for example.

They might attract a chunk of new viewers but most likely would lose them shortly afterwards based on past history. Its something TNA has always struggled with even during the periods when they were having good to great shows in a row.

I can't help but think that Jeff Hardy actually should have won the TNA World Title in the finals of that tournament and that Magnus should have been built up more. Perhaps he could have even won the World Title on the UK tour TNA has coming up? Is any of it televised?
