I think one of the problems with moving to the UK would be house shows. There's a much smaller amount of cities to cover. That would mean extending the touring to a constant Europe-wide loop in order to generate enough revenue. That would create a lot more admin with work visas for non EU...

Are wrestling TV shows better off with their current programming model which is totally against the structure of other TV shows? Generally TV shows work through a 20-odd episode season which builds to a finale on the regular channel (maybe a few special semi-resolution episodes in between)...

""When you work for WWE, you are used to funds being available for you, if you think I am going to spend my own money, you are out of your mind." In my experience if you're classed as an "independent contractor" as TNA and WWE do to their wrestlers, you pay your own expenses whilst working and...

Personally I watch TNA on TV and not WWE. That's 'cos I don't subscribe to Sky Sports. If you're parent's want to watch Premiership football, I guess that's why you can watch WWE, I have no reason to want to subscribe to Sky Sports beyond WWE, and that alone isn't worth the subscription rate...

Regardless of the name, there's no credible way the original NWO could come back as a believable in-ring opposition in wrestling to the younger TNA guys. It's diametric to how the X-Division works... like a single clothes line is gonna put down someone like Samoa Joe? The whole in-ring style of...

Ok, really morbid and sick topic, and one I'm sure won't be popular, but who do you predict will die in 2010? On a left-field shocking angle, I predict Hulk Hogan will have a heart attack live on PPV (maybe not really, but something close). He's about to work a harder schedule that he has in...

To re-iterate my point before, whilst 'popular' can be defined in several ways, getting higher rating has nothing to do with making more money. For example, if the football Premiership were more concerned with ratings, they'd have matches on the BBC & ITV, but no they're out to make money, so...

In my opinion there's no way they could bring back the original NWO as an active wrestling faction yet try to position TNA as a progressive company. They only way I could imagine them doing this is to end up making the faction looking like a bunch of washed up old men that can't compete with...

I think the viewing figures are purely down to the fact that TNA are on a basic satellite/cable channel where as WWE is on a premium Sky Sports channel. I would imagine WWE actually makes more money from UK TV since on Sky Sports there are adverts and a high premium channel subscription rate...

From a historical perspective I have a problem with the idea of Foley siding with the WWE/WCW guys against Hogan. Didn't Foley state in his numerous books that he himself in his early days was criticised the Flair/Hogan generation for going above and beyond in the ring? Doing more than was...

It might actually be a fun conspiracy theory to think that Shane leaving the WWE is actually one giant long term plot to buy TNA and avoid an investigation by a Monopolies and Mergers Commission (I dunno if there's such a body in the US, but in the UK there's a regulatory body to stop one...

Ok, I agree, it wouldn't make up for it, nothing could, but at least it would be a an attempt to play out what could have been.

I always thought it would build up to a storyline of a battle for ownership of WWE between the generations of McMahons culminating in a match at Wrestlemania 30.

If it would be some giant work, it'd really make up for the WWE/WCW Invasion angle, the most missed opportunity in the modern history of pro-wrestling.

With TNA being shot in the same venue/studio almost every time they have no excuse for not having camera placement and spot placement worked down to a T. Not having the right angles on stuff is a failure in either not having enough cameras, not informing the camera men of what/when the important...

Boy, I sure hope Hogan doesn't join the announce team. His repetitive phrases are even more worn than Lawler's. Whilst Hogan might make a spike in TNA ratings, I have serious doubts that he alone is enough to sustain any significant increase. My feelings are that whole Hogan act/character is...

But then years ago the guy on the outside had to be holding onto a rope tide to the ring post for the tag to be legal. Not sure when that "rule" was dropped. If you're going to have tag rules, personally I liked when they were used as part of a storyline. Illegal tags or no tags were used used...

Whilst the point of the NWO was to "take over" WCW, if successful it should then naturally absorb the larger part of WCW... personally I would have preferred to see the NWO stay as a small ruling core and parts of WCW affiliate with them rather than actually becoming massive messy NWO. Might...

I dunno, depends upon which era. Really if you can have a wrestler declare himself a champion and create a belt and have that belt recognised as anything but a dodgy storyline, it goes against the whole kayfabe concept of the wrestling federation being run by a legitimate body. If the title is...

I was wondering about peoples thoughts of women wrestlers blading? There's been many many, far too many to mention men's classic matches where they blade rather severely too escalate the intensity of the match, and I'm sure it's hard to argue that the blood didn't elevate the emotion of the...
