You know, I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I'm actually kind of looking forward to NXT.

Hopefully it'll be good in the long run, and the "competition" will mean we'll have less Raw's like last Monday's. 'cause, Jesus, what a ****ing horrible show.
Smackdown has had a run of really good shows. Shame it's on that nothing network and nobody watches. |

The problem is TNA doesn't have enough fans, a person who worked for the WWE when asked about it by Variety basically said "we don't view this as a threat whatsoever"

I watched the january 4th show. I think that's the only TNA I've watched in a year or more. I'm not a fan in any way...
I do think the one (and maybe only) potential positive about it is the ability to click back-and-forth, even in the DVR age. It's like reliving the boom period. But I don't know if that attraction can last for more than a couple of weeks unless TNA can really up their game. |

So I guess Shawn Michaels is going to call it a career eh?

Everything sure points to an HBK victory don’t it? Taker went over last year, HBK jobbing left and right recently, career on the line…. I also expect them to keep Takers streak perfect until he retires so I’m torn on this one.

Michaels has wanted to retire for two years but kept having to come back because people got hurt. Really, there's no reason to have him end the streak. It won't make him a bigger star in any way. So I'd argue that everything points to the Undertaker winning. But who knows with WWE. They probably won't make their minds up until the morning of the show.
As far as the streak goes, if they plan to end it, I'd say the smartest move would be to have a heel go over with a screw-job in 2011. I think people are more into the streak than they are the titles nowadays, and I think they could create a mega-star if they do it right. Just imagine the level of heat somebody could have... |

Surely the Taker can't be to far behind HBK in the retirement line. He is starting to look pretty rough.

Taker's probably in worse shape than Michaels. They're both supposedly taking a lot of time off after mania. Like I said, though, there's no real point in giving Michaels the win. The streak probably means more to fans than the belts do, and you don't gain anything giving it up to a guy who's already a legend...

I half wonder if they're not going to "retire" him just so they can outdo Flair's "retirement" ceremony on Raw two years ago. Kind of a final **** you for going to TNA. Vince gets bizarre ideas sometime.

Speaking of Flair.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...rss=rss_sports CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Police say the wife of pro wrestler Ric Flair has been charged with assaulting him in their North Carolina home. In a statement, Flair called the incident an unfortunate disagreement and said he did nothing wrong. Authorities say officers were called to Flair's home in south Charlotte on Sunday night. Flair said his wife attacked him after they went out for dinner. He had minor injuries, but refused treatment from paramedics. Police charged 41-year-old Jacqueline Beems with simple assault. She was released from jail a few hours after her arrest. The 60-year-old platinum blond grappler nicknamed "The Nature Boy" is currently wrestling for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling after a long career with World Wrestling Entertainment. |
