Take last year's W.M.
# (RAW Brand) World Tag Team Title Match:
The Big Show & Kane beat Chris Masters & Carlito Cool;
# 6-WAY Money in the Bank Ladder Match II:

# United States Title Match: John Layfield beat Chris Benoit;
# No Rules Hardcore Match: Edge w/Lita defeated Mick Foley;
# Handicap Match: The Boogeyman beat Booker T & Sharmell;
# Woman's Title Match: Mickie James defeated Trish Stratus;
# Casket Match: The Undertaker defeated Mark Henry;
# Grudge Match: Shawn Michaels defeated Vince McMahon;
# Triple Threat World Heavyweight Title Match:
Rey Mysterio beat Kurt Angle and Randy Orton;
# Playboy Pillow Fight: Torrie Wilson vs Candice Michelle;
# WWE Title Match: John Cena defeated Triple H;
You've got three of last year's main player's Mark Henry, Rey Mysterio & Triple H out injured.
Kurt Angle was released 6 month's later and now wrestle's for a significantly smaller company.
Big Show, Trish Stratus & JBL are retired (for the time being)
Booker T was being jobbed out to the worthless Boogeyman. He then went on to have a World Title reign.
Carlito, Masters & Benjamin could'nt buy themselve's a spot on the card.
And RVD was on the way to being ECW main player.
This year you've got Umaga, Khali, Sabu, Sandman, Cor Von, Thorne, Burke & MVP on the card who were'nt employed or on the main roster last year.
RVD, Edge & Orton are all in filler match's.
You've got Batista making his return to W.M.
And Taker in his first Mania main event in 10 year's.
In TNA this time last year.
Everyone thought Joe was on a one way trip to the top. And he wasuntil Angle and Russo got in his way.
Christian was failing as a face World Champ. Everyone said he'd be better if he was a heel world champ. Now he is but he still come's across as an inferior champ.
LAX was in a stupid andle with Bob Armstrong. Now there one of the hottest thing's in wrestling.
Monty Brown was recieveng a push that far exceded his ability's. Now he's in WWE where he'll get treated far worse.
And Team Canada were still together. Petey Williams has been on the slide ever since.
