Now that thug_nigga has weighed in over on the Meltzer board, we can close this discussion.

I don't get the idea of waking up every day and spending time on a message board making dumb posts and trying to be some weird character. Like seriously?

[EmpireWF]

Absolutely. From a business sense, I use to think it'd damage WM but I no longer think that way.

From a creative sense it's disappointing because I like the idea of WM being this ONE TIME event for The Rock. The idea that he's moved on from wrestling but this ONE guy drew him back for ONE night really works for me.

It's not a huge deal, mostly I'm worried on generic "tag together before WrestleMania" booking they are going to do.

Rock and Cena win. Rock hits Rock Bottom. At Royal Rumble Rock does something, Cena gives him FU. Etc, etc.

Dont forget them becoming tag champs.

Oh god.

"VINTAGE" WrestleMania buildup!

How close is the gap between TNA and WWE now? I haven't paid attention to wrestling in 5-6 years.

Pretty much the same as its always been. The WWE is doing mediocre busines of late - meh ratings, buy rates aren't great. TNA managed to pop a record Impact rating last week - 1.4 - but has otherwise been at the same 1.0-1.1 range forever. TNA buyrates aren't made public but they reportedly still suck balls.

They're still not in competition with each other because TNA is not a factor...so nothing has changed.

Vince McMahon is clinically insane...

Vince McMahon had freaked out several weeks back when seeing Ryder’s T-shirt. The phrase on the shirt that had been approved was, “Take care, spike your hair.” Anyway, because of the word “Spike,” that Vince hates right now (because TNA is on their network) Vince at one point talked about pulling the shirts off the market, but eventually agreed to stop all production of the shirts but sell the ones in stock. Now that those shirts are gone, a new Ryder T-shirt minus that phrase is out.
