Hardy was sick though, he actually put on great matches... he may not have been a great 'wrestler' but he was an awesome performer. No one on the roster would take the risks and bumps that he did. Yeah I agree about that, I just didn't like him lol. The original ladder / TLC matches were insane, but WWE broke up the teams and that was a stupid move IMO. Whoever's been booking shit at WWE since they decided to split the company into two rosters of Smackdown and Raw sucks IMO. But that's what you get when Vince gets greedy and decides to buy every wrestling company out there lol... too many wrestlers and not enough air time!

WWE needs new competition to step their game up. They are trying to reach a the next generation and then change their product as the kids get older, so in about 3-5 years we will probably see a much more edgy product.
But if a seriously loaded rich man backed TNA I think they could be a problem, but still WWE backs 25 000 people into house events and TNA gets like 12 000 for a PPV, so right now the WWE can do whatever the fuck they want and it won't matter.
It seems as long as they are selling merchandise shit will stay the same, once people get tired of Cena he will turn heel.

WWE lost a shit load of fan base to the UFC Yah that's true. Brock Lesnar's done well to capitalise on that too. He's a jackass, but he's made so much money out of being in WWE at its peak or just towards the end of it, and then cashing in as a main eventer in UFC.

The quality of their product has dropped drastically, I can't see how the WWE is still popular. And yeah I agree, if TNA had some proper financial backing they'd probably make it big like WCW. WCW had Ted Turner backing them and they even had airtime over here in the UK. I just fount out TNA actually is on TV in the UK but I don't get the channel it's on lol.

I also miss back in the day they would be like "The Rock is on his way to the building" and it would show him walking in the backstage on his way before cutting his promo.
Or after a brutal PPV when guys would come to the ring bandaged up, they never sell the brutality of the matches anymore.

Lesner looks brilliant right now TBH He and Goldberg fucked up my love for wrestling lol. Their last match was so stupid. I blame the WWE for that though. Goldberg's character was SO good in WCW, although after the nWo storyline was so sick, maybe Goldberg was also a product of right place right time sorta thing, being pushed so much as the nWo storylines died down. To be honest I'm quite surprised WCW folded in the end. They had such great talent. Money talks I guess.

Ya I never knew I had TNA on my cable program until the other week so I might start watching it, but i mean the core of their roster is 40 years old, all old WWE stars.
Booker T might be returning to the WWE though lol.

WCW folded because the older main eventers refused to job to the mid carders, they couldn't create new stars so guys liek Jericho came to WWE and becamse superstars.
WCW folded because the top guys were given too much creative control.

I remember when he used to take the piss outta Coach lol... funny times! Also one of my fave moments from WWE was when he and Stone Cold sang songs on Raw then at the last second when they shook hands, Rock said "The Rock will never ever forget" then Rock Bottomed him. Such great rivalry between those two. They had some of the best matches ever.

World Elite? The Main Event Mafia would be an awesome type of thing in the WWE. I mean Batista, Cena, Orton and Trips always win and are in the ME, if they became a stable and never lost they could be a heel stable rofl.

Ya that is exactly what is happening now, that is what I am saying if the WWE had some actual competition they would be in trouble. They are their own worst enemy.
