If he could go in the ring Id love it to be Foley v Taker at Mania but both are so beat up the match would be awful.

I have no idea who would be a good fit for Takers 20th. Barrett doesn't seem up to it IMO. Christian would be a better fit. Or even Ziggler if they want to give an upcoming heel a big rub

Has anybody been thinking recently that TNA is so much better than WWE?

I am a diehard WWE fan but I have been watching TNA a lot more recently, and I have to admit I am a fan.

I am really liking the depth of the story lines and the actual wrestling is a lot more violent.

I forgot how much I'd missed seeing blood in the WWE. But when I saw some on TNA i was very impressed. It just makes the whole thing more believable.

I have a couple of issues with the current WWE system:

1. For me Randy Orton does not work as face character. He is the perfect heel and should be kept that way.

2. The Nexus story line faded away far to quickly as it was a great angle.

3. John Cena needs to become a heel in some way, and soon. He has become all to predictable.

I think WWE are making steps to change this, in talk of bringing back the Hardcore Title, which can only be a good thing.

And I think Cena could turn heel in the months running up to Wrestlemania so this could be good.

IMO WWE needs to change. I appreciate that WWE is very marketable as a PG show. However TNA is beginning to regularly push them in the ratings, and this is down to the realism of the wrestling.

WWE is similar to the pre Attitude era at the moment. Its a long term plan from Vince I think. They've dipped their toe into the "Atttiude" water with Punk to see what its like and Cena is an indication that the PG generation are growing up. I'm sure we'll see some reality soon and they'll abandon this WWE Universe cobblers.

The 00s generation have grown up basically. The kids who were 7 and 8 are now 15/16 and ready for some reality.

I just wanna see some blood man.

Have you got WWE '12? The storylines on that shit on anything WWE has done for years (bar Nexus, that was awesome)

I personally think that Daniel Bryan's situation atm is just extending the PG era. All this 'I won't be bullied' stuff. I really hope he doesn't win at Wrestlemania.

When I was younger I went to see the wrestling at wembley. We travelled down by minibus (I was living in liverpool at the time).

Myself, my mate, 3 other kids and 4 dads.

The Dads were boozing from the get go. We got there in plenty of time. Our seats were stationed right next to the old tunnel and my dads seat was the last one right next to the tunnel.

The wrestlers stood in a little bit in betwee the tunnel and the curtain bit where they start the walk on. The Undertaker was stood on the back of this hearse and my Dad kept flicking his hat off, he turned and said something to my Dad and my Dad lost it, trying to get over the fence and calling The Undertaker all sorts. I remember these words from my Dad..... "I'LL FUCKING BURST YER YA DAFT YANK TWAT".

I was terried as being 12 i believed the Undertaker to really have mystical powers.

So, 'Kane Resurrected'. And the most recent video showed him putting a new mask on covering half his face.

To me this suggests the much more psychotic Kane to return.

Also did Paul Bearer not sign a 5 year contract in 2010? He could definitely return along side a heel Kane. That'd be very exciting.

Thoughts?

If you like realism in your wrestling, whatever you do, don't watch anything but the main event of this week's Smackdown.

If you like Mick Foley as Santa, people selling empty boxes, 'on a pole' matches, flying reindeer, Dusty Rhodes/Goldust segments, and 15 minutes of Hornswoggle, watch everything up to the main event of Smackdown.

If you like wrestling at all, watch the main event of Smackdown. Excellent match.

    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
