Wow looks like TNA is beating WWE in the UK. Just had a look on Google. Mind you WWE get horrible timeslots these days. I was shocked at how poorly WWE rates. Then again it's always repeated and there is countless recap shows.

Yep, the only two SANE members of the McMahon family are no longer with the company, does not bode well really. I'm not sure how involved Vince is on a day to day running of things basis these days mind you.

I had no idea that TNA were doing so well in this country?! That's brilliant news if true. TNA frustrates me beyond belief, they have SO much potential and get some momentum going with great storylines and feuds and then waste it all again. But the talent is certainly there and they could easily become the new WCW with the right handling.

Vince killed ECW, it's just a joke now. At least it will mean the likes of Christian can come over to SD or Raw and hopefully get a decent push. Calling that show ECW the past few years has just been a total insult to the original anyway!

Part of me would love it if he bought out TNA and went head to head with his Dad lol. But I think Shane has more class than that. More likely buy into MMA I reckon.

Also bear in mind Impact airs on Bravo on fridays and maybe Virgin aswell??? free with cable...

Anyone who watched in the 1998-2002 era will watch TNA.....it basically is that era being repeated....Dudley Boyz, Kurt Angle, Booker T, Mick Foley, Kevin Nash, it also has one of the best technical wrestlers since Benoit....AJ STYLES.

They also do a great job in bringin new talent into the company......Samoa Joe to name one...

I think ill watch from after the next PPV see how i like it...

As good as AJ is technically, they should absolutely not try and build the company around him. He has absolutely no charisma to the outsider.

That's TNA's problem at the moment. They don't have the guy. At least WWE have a mediocre, forced one ... a certain Johnathan Cena.

I have to say though, thank God Booker has gone from TNA now, headed back to WWE by all accounts. Stinking attitude and not great in the ring imo lately.

Angle is back to almost his best though, and I couldn't agree more with you about AJ Styles, he is just fanastic. The future of the company without a doubt. They have so many talented young guys, just hope that Hogan doesn't go in there with a giant wrecking ball and mess the whole thing up by putting himself first. He shouldn't even go near the ring imo.

You should download Bound For Glory and watch that if you haven't already, I really enjoyed it and definitely made me want to watch TNA on a weekly basis again. Their women's division is great too, if you discount Lacey Von Erich

He was the best man on the mic and was the orton of that ERA. If he hadn't of left I really do think TNA wouldnt have have the roster they do now....certainly not Angle, or Foley anyway.... rant over haha

Back to the old Y2J? Insanity. Jericho is a made man now. He has grown up and evolved. Him going back to the wisecracking rockstar gimmick would be like Edge going back to a goth stalker. WWE's ratings don't depend primarily on heels so you can't blame the current Jericho. Might I remind you that the heel push he originally got after the alliance angle was designed to stabilize ratings. It didn't.

As for AJ being the future of TNA? He has all the charisma of a recycle bag. The guy couldn't sell enough tickets to fill a phone box.

From JRsBarBQ.com:

Details are very sketchy regarding the condition of Umaga (Eddie Fatu) who, as I write this is in ICU of a Houston hospital. Some say that Umaga may have had a massive heart attack but that has not been confirmed. He fell asleep and his wife apparently was unable to wake him. From all I read about sleep apnea, I have been diagnosed with it myself, it may be possible that Umaga had an undiagnosed case of sleep apnea which puts huge stress on one's heart because one stops breathing many times for several seconds every hour one sleeps. I stopped breathing over 40 times in one hour when I under went my sleep study. Please keep Umaga in your prayers. He was a very skilled, big man but more importantly he is a father and a husband.

Jericho of old was what I watched for, it's my memories of that time in wrestling.......im sorry

I think they need a new guy and it definately aint Sheamus, great that it's an irish guy (contrary to what the Sun website says, british talent my ass) but he just hasnt got any gimmick or appeal to him from what ive seen (thats been very little)

I know where you are coming from.

If you ask me 90% of the time after blazing up a wisdom stick, the best way to get the ratings back is to relaunch the Ministry Vs. The Corporation!

I was thinking the same when I saw Umaga's name in the trending topics on Twitter. It's really sad that it takes for a wrestler to die or get arrested for people to talk about them.

I'll come and chat more in here now I'm back on the forum more often.

Sheamus leaves you totally cold too huh? I just don't see him getting over at all! Sure Trip and Vince love him but that doesn't mean the fans will! And they couldn't care less lol.
