Fast Three Count

This Fast Three Count comes from @TheMCook


Cena

Like Hogan but younger.


Hogan

Like Cena but older.

Wyatt

A strange Kane/Raven hybrid that has been spawned by an accountant. 
This guy is super hot as far as response and appeal go and has the potential to forge a very remembered career and become someone we talk about for years after his last Sister Abbie. (We're cool like that, she just calls me King Bing)

Top 5 TNA Moments

TNA has been doing more harm than good in a lot of people eyes recently, so I just wanted to remind myself and anyone who feels TNA still has a chance or anyone who is a TNA fan how good it has been at times.
Now these moments may not of changed TNA for the good or the bad, these moments may not be remembered by many but to me they are great moments for the company.

5
Hogan is TNA

Number 5 makes it to the list simply because of the significance of the main man involved.  Almost 4 years ago the Immortal Hulk Hogan went and joined TNA, I never heard or read anything about this happening until it actually was announced on October 27th 2009. 
Hogan carrying considerably more good stock back then, going to TNA was either a well grabbed signature in the Impact Zones filing cabinet or desperation from a "money and spotlight grabbing" aging Hulkster.
Either way when I heard about this I was amazed, shocked and had to watch the January 4th 2010 episode of Impact to see Hollywood turn up in the number 2 promotion. In my eyes if anything can get you to watch TNA it's got to be a good thing!

TNA. Try Harder or Stop Trying So Hard.



You know about TNA. It's that wrestling show you hate.
That statement is true for many, however some of us...(well me at least) just want TNA to strive to thrive and move upward and onward. Why? 
Well firstly and probably most importantly, I don't wanna see dozens if not hundreds of people lose their jobs. We need to remember that there are real people behind the facepaint, masks and baby oil and not to mention all the office jobs involved with running a partially global wrestling promotion.
On top of that REAL stuff I would love TNA to become a true number 2 company and give fans more reason to celebrate them rather than constantly bash them. You see for many, especially UK wrestling fans, TNA is actually easier to watch than WWE.
Most digital TV subscriptions in the UK come with Challenge TV as a standard, where as WWE's UK home is on Sky Sports and costs in the region of £20-£30 to add to your subscription. So in the UK TNA should really have more support, but it's hard to support something when everybody is knocking it from left to right.

Can WWE see me?

This week on Twitter I got involved in a conversation with @IfinRatedR and @VegasKustom about WWE ignoring its core fan base and investing too much time and effort in the younger fan base.
I'm 26 years old, I have been watching wrestling (mostly exclusively WWE) for the best part of 21-22 of these years and I was questioning do WWE care about people in the same bracket and older? Or are they focused solely on the CeNation Army munchkins?
Honestly, I feel it is both.

Unless you've just crawled out of the boiler room of you will know that WWE is PG. This simply means, of course it is directed at the young audience. Over the past several years WWE has changed from the blood soaking - boobie bouncing - weapon wielding - bird flipping - gritty - bonkers world it once was. It now prefers the family friendly - hand clappy - lady skipping - shiny glossy world.
This to me still doesn't prove that WWE has lost touch with the older bunch. Not even close.
Sure we can bang on all day about Cena running the place in Superman mode for the kids to cheer and adore, but we had Hogan doing the exact same thing! Sure the Hulkster only had two colours at the time but he still came out in the brightest yellow and reds, was all wholesome and all patriotic, put across messages of goodness and was cleaner than a DDP smile.

Let's talk. Cena heel?

Being a wrestling fan you may of heard of a guy who has won championships, been on TV almost  every week over the past 10 years, appears on least 11 out of 12 PPVs, gets mixed reviews from fans around the world and has worked as hard as anyone in the WWE today. In my opinion he's still not given the credit he deserves, the guy is a work horse and does whats asked of him, in what seems to be, every instance. You know exactly who I mean, but before you go saying "Ugh! Had enough of reading about this guy and what everyone thinks of him" don't worry. I'm not gonna bang on all day about Michael Cole, as the title suggests I'm here to talk about John Cena.
To be exact I wanna talk about the potential and idea of Cena turning heel. If you have ever been on twitter and seen anything about Cena on there, chances are it's about one of a few things;
1. Cena is WWEs god and can do no wrong and is the best of the best of the best of the bestest best!
2. Cena sucks and needs to be heel by next week or I'm tuning out
3. Cena sucks and needs to die.
Now point number 3 needs to stop. If you are wishing death upon a performer for doing their job, a job you would wear your own testicles as earrings to do, you are a shabby human being and need to do some thinking about your own life.
Points 1 and 2 have some real merrit to be discussed further. 
Whether you like him or not, whether you buy into the character or not, there is no reason to totally discount the first two points.
