No. TNA is putting on better programming than before, but let's not loving kid ourselves here.

EDIT: Like seriously. Punk is presumably a multi-millionaire, the longest reigning WWE champion (which, despite how they treat it lately, is historically the greatest prize a wrestler can hold and I dare anyone to dispute that) in a long time and in like, is in the top 5 longest since the Hogan era or something, probably borders on household name or is getting closer anyway, makes late night talk show rounds, and is on the cover of a loving video game.

Joe is still in an admittedly improving TNA and MAY be in the title picture.

DOUBLE EDIT: MAYBE the NWA title is more prestigious historically but that's been poo poo longer than WWE's has, and on a deeper level, too.

I am pretty sure CM Punk making more for his WM title match than Joe makes in a year is totally overwhelmed by TNA being booked well for a few months.

Just curious, how did he gently caress up a main event just because of timing it?

They were doing a 30 minute draw but were a couple of seconds late for the big top rope spot that would end the match. He started counting down 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 as they were setting up the spot. Because he got a number of fans chanting too they couldn't just fudge the time (or who knows, maybe he was wrong with his timing in the first place) because the fans all thought the match was over.

Bischoff is actually uninvolved with TNA right now on a day to day basis, he's doing some reality project. That's why he was written off during the spring.

Dude made up the character himself, might be another MVP situation.

I don't know what it is about the WWE but they tend to get really great personalities and guys that can get over on their own and then they decide to do nothing with them. Zack should threaten to leave if he's making that much money for them on merch. You've got to use the leverage when you're dealing with Vince.

MVP created his character outside of WWE and pitched it to them. If you create a character under contract it becomes WWE's intellectual property.

Ha, just imagine it, Raven is in the box. He opens the box and there is Raven. Raven is actually the present. The dog is all expecting a bone or maybe a squeaky toy, but instead there is a full sized human, and that human is Raven. And then the dog is in the Nest/Flock! Such an absurd and hilarious premise. I can't stop laughing at all the absurdity, and also the hilariousness. A dog opens a present, and it is Raven that is inside the present. Big time laughs had by all, except Tommy Dreamer because now his dog is in the Nest/Flock, so Tommy is kind of sad, but still has some little laughs, because the situation is so unexpected and humorous!

And who can forget all of the classic angles of members of Tommy's family joining up with Raven, so it's just all the more perfect! Tommy will love it. Plus the dog is dying so it will be even funnier!

Colt isn't in ROH because it makes no sense for him to be in ROH.

He commands a high fee for an indie wrestler and ROH is never going to push him to a level that they are paying him. He's always going to be "a guy" who sometimes has a feud and sometimes gets a random title shot.

For him, he'd be in a position that would limit the kind of dates he can do (but he could still tour overseas, ROH always lets guys do that) but be in a spot where he's just going to be on a treadmill.

Generico was out of ROH because they were clearly just waiting for the right time to bring him back for a hot feud with Steen. He's back in ROH now so it clearly wasn't because of tours.

I didn't say he was a bad worker. Cena is a pretty decent worker who is absolutely appalling at almost every other aspect of being a wrestler, which makes him overall a lovely wrestler.

Can he sell a feud? No, it's always the same thing. Smirking jackass who takes nothing seriously and won't change at all if he wins or loses. Loser leaves town match? Doesn't matter, won't sell it. Gets the poo poo beaten out of him by Brock Lesnar? Doesn't matter, won't sell it. Fights the Rock in an epic Wrestlemania Main Event? Doesn't matter, won't sell it. Every opponent is a joke, every match is ultimately meaningless. The entire roster is a pack of chumps compared to Cena, he knows it and the audience have been trained to believe it. Whoever's got Cena's title is just keeping it warm until he wants it again.

How many guys has Cena made? Umaga and.... uhh... uhh... almost ten years on top and he's made less stars than Hulk Hogan.

How many memorable promos has Cena cut? There was that time he... that time he... oh, I think he called someone a doodyhead once. And he smirked a lot. Steve Austin and The Rock's combined main event runs were less than the length of time Cena has been main eventing, and what has he got to show for it? How many clips of "classic" Cena promos will be bookmarked on YouTube in years to come? As many as Austin, The Rock, Hogan, Flair, Dusty Rhodes, HBK, any number of other top level guys you'd care to mention? Not a chance.

John Cena is a blight on the wrestling industry and he can be as much of a nice guy as he wants outside the ring, but it doesn't change the fact that he is one of the worst things to ever happen to professional wrestling.

If anyone made anyone, Cena made Umaga, Edge and Punk. Feuding with and beating Cena elevated all three to main event status.

Memorable promos? He did a fantastic one the night Jerry Lawler had his heart attack that I remember despite it happening the night Jerry Lawler had a heart attack. That was less than two months ago.

As for the rest, that's the way the guy is booked. Hard to blame someone when the company wants him to be a certain character and not show weakness.

What was it because I literally don't remember. Cena's promos in the last however many years and especially the last year or so are a blur of paint by numbers "RESPECT! I DO THIS FOR THE WWE UNIVERSE!" shouty promos mixed with Cena being insufferably smug. The only one that really stands out is the "go puck yourself" promo against Laurinaitis and that's only because of how awful it was especially coming like an hour after Laurinaitis humiliating and firing Big Show and Cena coming out to be Goofy Joke Man instead of coming out earlier to try and help his supposed friend.

The idea that people who haven't done something cannot have a valid opinion of something is ridiculous, however...

There is something to be said that the best judge of a worker is the guys in the back, who they think is good and who they most want to work with.

Likewise, talented filmmakers usually know another talented filmmaker, they are inspired by the greats, etc.
