ok these are hints,
word has gotten out that its likely that jbl vs john cena will occur at WM21

also the raw storyline, looks to be headed batista to win title and then could lead to orton vs batista and the end of evolution at wm21

Who is your informant Captain Charisma?
Because my informant says otherwise! LOL!

lol well my prediction come from just looking into the storylines
look at the tension building from triple H and batista, and especially with triple h costing batista a number 1 contender spot and also calling him selfish if he entered the royal rumble,

however id like to credit the news i read on pukeboy.com about a possible john cena vs jbl at wm21

Is this exclusive to certain members to make predictions, or are we free to jump in at anytime?

Because I feel I know my wrestling fairly well, and I think I could make some cha-ching.

What's the deal with this?

im just having a guess but it just looks like tna are starting the brand war against wwe, like the famous wcw vs wwe rating battle,

tna is just so odd there like 2 weeks ahead of everyone filming wise as they film 2 episodes of impact when doing tapings,

yep. people love TNA cuz they have better "wrestling." well the same was true for WCW and look what happened to them... keep in mind how many hundreds of millions of dollars they had with Ted Turner backin em up, and they still lost

even tho WWE has been sucky since they bought WCW and will probaly stay in neutral for years to come, TNA aint f'n with them


it'd be nice if Vince showed his grapefruits and fireback with another DX invasion

...but who would he send? who today could match up with the crazy antics of HBK, HHH, Road Dogg, Mr. Ass, Chyna & X-Pac of 97-98? thats whats missing nowadays- rebels and outrageous stunts. they've just toned it down too much from the Attitude era

^^^ thats true vin i used to love that **** when the dx was about! i used to like nation of domination just cuz the rocks attitude to anything! and the ministry! man when they had these gangs wwe was the shiznit!

erm a couple of weeks ago, tna invaded smackdown giving away free tickets to tnas next ppv,

that move the canadian destroyer in tna is amazing, probs the best finisher!

I can't stand to watch the wrestling from either TNA or WWE (though Batista has made major strides, and there are a few gems here and there as far as wrestling goes), so I stick to the independent circuit.

So many people miss out on the quality athletic displays shown in Ring of Honor, PWG, CZW (okay, a little more violence in CZW, but it's mostly fine pro wrestling on display), IWA Mid-South, NWA Wildside... so on, so forth.

WWE seems to not realize that people do enjoy good wrestling. Paul London and Akio (on Velocity) have gotten very good responses when they've squared off. The quality of the matches is pretty much off the charts as far as the WWE goes (especially for 7-10 minute matches), and the crowd has bought it everytime.

As far as TNA as competition to WWE... TNA doesn't have the ability to compete on the same level as WWE. Especially not at this stage. They're not turning a profit, they're using guys mainly considered has-beens (Nash, Hall, etc.), and they don't have a very large fan base. I haven't watched TNA in God knows how long, simply because I can't stand to sit there and watch terrible matches while I've got loads of good stuff sitting next to my DVD player, just waiting to be played.

Just my view on TNA, WWE, and pro wrestling as a whole.
