TNA Genesis 2013: Genesis of what?

TNA Genesis 2013: Genesis of what?

TNA decided to kick off 2013 in mediocre fashion with Genesis.  The card wasn’t particularly strong to begin with but you would think TNA would consider doing something to keep your interest, as there won’t be another PPV until March 9 for Lockdown.  Will there be some sense of cleaning the slate for the year?  Not really.

Triple Threat at Mania Makes Sense

Triple Threat at Mania Makes Sense

The Internet is going crazy with rumours abound for Wrestlemania.

This is the perfect time for this to happen as well.  The Wrestlemania main event is said to be the only thing Vince McMahon long term books.  He decides his main event and then works toward it for a year.  This is what leads to ignoring the incredible storyline in front of him like Edge vs. Cena to go with the original plan of HHH vs. Cena.  It’s fair to assume that after Wrestlemania XXVIII, Vince already had his main event set.  Have plans changed or are they still the same?

Bankrupt: Why the Money in the Bank is a ruined concept

Minutes away from the Hell in a Cell.  Man, remember when Hell in a Cell was a big event?  When a guy could growl out, “HELL… IN A CELL!” and it would mean something?  It was a cage match for the new generation.  Now it’s just the main event of a gimmick pay per view.

State of the Union: The Ryberg

State of the Union: The Ryberg

Last night on Monday Night Raw, the WWE went to the next gear on the Ryback.  The former Cornfed Meathead has officially left the position of midcard curiosity to a potential push with the company.  For everything Vince McMahon does which could be called formulaic, expecting something different from the Ryback experience is like expecting Bob Ross to skip on painting happy clouds.
