    TNA has no story arcs - it's a problem

    I think that is the clear weakness of the TNA creative team...they just run out of ideas. In some cases, they don't know how to catalyst a feud (see Jeff Jarrett's awkward heel turn on this weeks Impact) and in other cases, they don't know how to sustain a feud or how to end one without...

    The Kofi/Orton botch on Raw

    I read on another forum that Christopher DeJoseph (aka Big Dick Johnson) had posted something concerning the finish to this match on his Twitter account, which has since been pulled. Supposedly it said: "Its amazing how two missed spots can turn into ring rage...missed punt...blocked...

    Official Raw/Smackdown Aftermath, Ratings and Review Thread

    It wasn't a botched RKO that seemed to piss Orton off. When he came out of the corner, he shoved Kofi's head down, then as he pounded the mat, he was yelling something and right before he hit the RKO, he threw a few words Kingston's way I couldn't make out. I think he then made that RKO extra...

    Official Raw/Smackdown Aftermath, Ratings and Review Thread

    RAW's Moneymakers and Misfires: Misfires: - Jack Swagger's All-American Challenge. Based on the last two years, we all know not to take Santino Marella seriously. He is a comedy act, there for entertainment purposes, when needed. So why, WHY?, WWE would you ruin an opportunity to raise up and...

    Who is better than the Miz right now??!

    I was slow to buy into the Miz. I detected potential when he teamed with JoMo and I saw him bring some great material this summer in his mini-fued with Superman. However, last night I really thought he finally arrived to the big dance. Just last week, I thought I was proven right for not buying...

    Hello WWE? Lack of character depth is killing the product, fan interest, & careers!

    You are absolutely right about how the lack of character development is seriously hurting the business. I mean, in this day and age, every superstar is more or less given one shot and they have to sink or swim. No second dive. Back in the day, superstars would sometimes go through many, many...

    Royal Rumble - Randy Orton vs Sheamus - WWE Championship

    I think this feud will keep both playing the heel and Ted Dibiase playing the verging baby face. What Sheamus needs as Champion right now is a solid victory over a viable contender - enter Randy Orton. We all know Orton is on the cusp of a feud with Dibiase, that will more than likely cultivate...

    The Heel Today

    This issues, of heels in the WWE, has really been bothering me lately. Personally, I think the lack of good heels is ruining the product. It was said that the lack of good babyfaces is the real problem, but a babyface doesn't need much more than an opponent the fans want to see get put in his...

    First TNA Weekly PPV with KB

    I just watched the Gauntlet for the Gold match....Justice actually looks like a TNA regular. I think they gave him a mask and started calling him Abyss.

    The Heel Today

    I have also had this same problem with heels in the WWE. This problem is also feeding into the problem of frequent title changes. The WWE makes such weak heels that it quickly gets to the point where creative cannot justify the cowardly heel winning the titles matches; i.e. Orton losing the...

    Cutting the Fat in TNA

    I have watched TNA off and on for the last couple years and this has always been something mind boggling for me. We want to see a lot of these talents, but it isn't realistic for two hours of television a week. They need to downsize dramatically, cutting 1/3 of the roster, until they can handle...

    The Lost Art of "Ringside Managers"- Who should the Ringside Managers be in the WWE?

    If anyone here doubts the value of a manger...then consider this scenario. Sheamus became WWE Champion after a 'fluke' win at the TLC PPV. Everyone in the IWC is really unhappy because this guy, who was billed as a monster for 3 weeks (not nearly long enough), is already champion and keeps...

    Did the WWE drop the ball with Legacy

    The problem with Legacy is the same thing I believe is wrong with the WWE today...there is not such thing as a NON-Main Event Feud! Look at the two mid-card titles. The United States Title meant next to nothing this year and the only time there was a real feud, with a real story, surrounding...

    Chris Jericho is GONE FOR GOOD from Raw! Wait, no he isn't.

    While creative/WWE are not handling keeping Jericho on RAW well, I believe the reason he is there is more for business reasons rather than creative reasons and that is simply because of the RAW Guest Host thing. Think about it, Jericho is a more main stream celebrity than most others on WWE...
