Cena vs. Taker could work if booked right. I could also see Taker handpicking Cena to be the man who ends his Wrestlemania streak.

Wrestlemania 29 will only interest me though if we see Punk vs. Austin.

Doubt we see Punk vs Austin at WrestleMania 29. I honestly don't know who Punk will face at WrestleMania. Triple H? Sheamus? Aldo Montoya?

TNA has been booked better than the WWE in recent months. Of course it helps that TNA doesn't have an owner who goes on fits of rage out of nowhere every half hour.

WWE booked Hornswoggle as the anonymous GM; basically telling people they wasted a story they dragged out for two years. Thats as bad or worse than the lame TNA Claire story.

Raw was mostly terrible monday.

Former WWE Superstar Goldust revealed in a recent PWTorch Livecast that he pitched the idea of facing Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania first on Twitter, then to Triple H and WWE writers, but when the idea was presented to Vince McMahon, McMahon turned down the match idea.

Goldust said he was understanding since it's McMahon's company and he makes the decisions, but he felt like the match "could have been money" and added to the Mania card.

Goldust also stated in the Livecast that he would still like the match to happen in the future if he returns to WWE.

I'm not acting anything and just feel in my own opinion that overall TNA is indeed better than WWE at the moment and have been for a while,I enjoy both companies though,I still watch&will be watching WWE

 

[Wheels]

TNA is better just for the simple fact that most everything on the show means something, whether it's good or bad. WWE doesn't try to make anything matter outside the main event stuff.

Cena/Rock II is ruins the "Once in a Lifetime" promotion they've used for their first match. Obviously Cena would win, but really who would care?

Rock winning the title is pointless unless he sticks around for a few months, defends it, and drops it someone on his way out.

Rock vs Lesnar doesn't interest me too much considering A) Rock's wrestling ability isn't what it was 10 years ago, B) When the match ends, both will be gone and it does nothing for the company in the long-term.

Rock vs Undertaker - they never had a good match when both were in their prime, so I can't imagine them having one now. And as said with Rock/Lesnar, when it's over, they'll be gone. Rock back to Hollywood, Taker out on his hiatus.

Cena vs Undertaker is the only one that interests me because there's a sliver of a chance they'll let Cena end the streak. But it's a sliver of a chance.

 

[TX85]

As a fan I'd like any of those matches But business wise I think it should be Cena vs Taker,Cena is already over&face of the company But it'd still be pretty BIG for Cena to go against Taker at WM and would be good for the character&person!!

Storylines wise it'd also be fresh,Last time Cena fought Taker he was a mid-carder rookie with a different character and now he's the top face of the company But the biggest dog in the yard to put to sleep is Taker!!

 

[Metallo]

Cena would HAVE to win. But you just know the Cena haters will b*tch. Taker winning over Cena means they've put the biggest obstacle in his way. Cena shouldn't lose two years in a row to two guys who don't need it.



Why does Sin Cara still use the mood lighting? trying to woo Ricardo?

Khali vs Show? who didn't see that coming. The Punjambi playboy will be fed to Show.

Mmmmm...Rosa.

 

[Specter313]

Why the hell do they think that mic-ing up performers like they're doing with AW during matches is a good idea? They tried that with Laycool awhile back, and it didn't work then either. It's clearly distracting and even takes the live audience out of the match.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Yeah God forbid Cena beat Rock this time I don't want to see a part II but Rock winning was pointless. He's not even around to capitolize off it. Funny how that all worked out.

You say pointless, but I say entertaining.

Nevertheless, Cena/Rock II is pointless period since it takes away the whole 'Once in a Lifetime' gimmick the match had. And John Cena would win obviously, so what fun would this match be when we will already know the outcome if they pair up a second time? No way would Dwayne win a second time in a row and especially if the WWE title was on the line.

All the matches are uninspired but Lesnar would be the best option for Taker. He might be goen anyway and a loss won't hurt him on the way out so he may as well job. He and Taker have a history. Nobody would believe Rock would break the streak and Cena needed to be put over by Rock more than Taker does.

Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar may very well be my second choice, but I definitely don't want to see it. At least give us a match of the two guys leaving the next day while giving us a match of two guys staying in the company and possibly someone who could very well end the streak. Besides, how many more matches does 'Taker have? Might as well still use him fresh to end his streak while they can.

Cena vs Taker presents some problems and Rock vs Taker is worthless. They have little chemistry and neither one will be there enough to build it.

And you think it will be different with Lesnar and 'Taker? They will both be gone as much as Rock and 'Taker. At least with Cena, there will be one driving force to build the match as with WM 28.

Cena vs. Taker could work if booked right. I could also see Taker handpicking Cena to be the man who ends his Wrestlemania streak.

This. Right here.

Wrestlemania 29 will only interest me though if we see Punk vs. Austin.

With Lesnar and Rock being around, I don't think Austin will wanna show up for a match until WrestleMania 30.

 

[TX85]

How's Smackdown's episode compared to Raw's and for being the last episode before the ppv??

This match is every buffet owner's worst nightmare.

Good for you but it was still pointless. Is Rock there to use it right now or isn't he? The night after he took off. Cena would have at least been there to play off a win. Cena had to be the good trooper but it was a no win scenario for him and the Rock marks know that. Conveniently for his fans to say it should only happen once when Rock won. Like I said funny how they are fine with how it turned out and supporting the one time thing but it would be interesting to see what would have been said if the roles were reveresed.

You assume he'd even lose. If Takers going to win anyway it may as well be against a guy who isn't going to be hurt by it: Lesnar. The only reason they should do Taker vs Cena is if Cena wins. If Taker wins its yet another in the long line of Taker wins.

And you think it will be different with Lesnar and 'Taker? They will both be gone as much as Rock and 'Taker. At least with Cena, there will be one driving force to build the match as with WM 28.

Already pointed that out. Plenty of times before. Including in this post.
Also Taker and Lesnar HAVE more chemistry than Taker and Rock did together so hell f***n yes its different.

But once again Taker has to be the man with the balls to actually be the backbone of the company and do the right thing to help Cena while part timers like Rock come in and hog the spotlight. Taker put in his 20 years with WWE and even more before that and he was the mos tloyal guy Vince has ever had.

Instead of wrestling a local jobber Ryberg wrestles contracted jobber! Incredible!

 

[TX85]

A little step-up though,I'm sure he'll get to the mid-cards soon enough

 

[Metallo]

Raw needed more hosts like Jackman. He actually wasn't an irellivant C list has been AND he was a fan.

Sandow! He already puts a smile on my face.

- Last night's episode of Impact Wrestling earned around a 0.8 rating with 1.11 million viewers. The exact rating is not available as the show fell out of the top 50 shows on cable for the night. An official number will be available next week.

Obviously, the show was hit by losing the DirecTV audience; DirecTV has 20 million subscribers. The viewership number is the lowest since June 3, 2010 when the show did 1.05 million viewers against the NBA Finals.

The show held steady in the demo ratings though, as a high point for the promotion.

CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar-WWE championship

Undertaker vs. John Cena

The Rock vs. Randy Orton

Triple H vs. Daniel Bryan

 

[TX85]

Damn Viacom/DirecTV feud,It's a shame TNA can't constantly get BIG ratings to at least be near Smackdown,I always felt even their bad episodes deserved better ratings than they get!!!

I personally don't care about ratings But if Raw&Smackdown can still get ratings they still do then TNA should too!

- It was announced at the San Diego Comic-Con panel for "Pysch" that WWE talent would appear on the next season of the series, although who it would be was not announced.

John Cena and The Miz have appeared in the past for the USA Network series.

I just think it's time for Undertaker to lose. 20 even wins and we don't know how long 'Taker can keep this up. It's best to have someone end the streak now before they push it too much where 'Taker can barely stand five minutes in a match; thus, Cena, the face of the WWE, should be the one to end it.

Already pointed that out. Plenty of times before. Including in this post.

It's nice to know that you seem so butt hurt you STILL have to put in your two cents of how Cena got screwed over with that match. For the longest Rock was going to lose, did ya know that?

It was nice for a while, but I've seen seasons one through five about four different times from beginning to end. I'll be happy once they start playing season six.
