    I reckon the Taker-Orton fued will go on to Wrestlemania in which the buried alive match could take place.

    On a side note did anyone know that Undertakers theme for his bad ass gimmick back in 2000-2003was gonna be Metallica-Sad But True

    That's what I was thinking...But the best Taker themes were Rollin' and the Ministry.

    Wasn't a big fan of Taker having Rollin', he had it for way too long. I agree about the Ministry theme though, I also like American Bad Ass & his current theme.

    The best themes now are Kane's and Edge's IMO

    Although the nWo theme has got to be up there somewhere aswell.

    Speaking of theme music, I'm really looking forward to Forceable Entry 2, mainly to see how HHH's new Disturbed theme is going to sound.

    Disturbed are going to do an amazing job with the song.

    Best theme has to be though Tommy Dreamer...I mean, Man in the Box worked so fucking well.

    Haha, so true. TNA is just so much better in almost every aspect at the moment. WWE should start taking notice and consider TNA competition.

    Why on earth would they consider TNA competition? They might have superior wrestling, but who has the superior star power? Time slots? Exposure?

    TNA isn't even on an ECW level, IMO.

    TNA isn't really competition...it's just the alternative to professional wrestling that's all.

    Maybe so, but not for long. The business side of things is a lot more appealing on the TNA side of things. Wrestlers appreciate the not so demanding work schedule. Christian is the first wrestler to actually leave the WWE for TNA & IMO won't be the last. TNA is getting bigger every month and okay, maybe WWE don't have to take TNA seriously at the moment, but soon enough they will.

    Well TNA ratings are growing ever higher and until Eddie Guerrero's death WWE ratings were plummiting so TNA could eventualy get the star power however that is highly unlikely.

    I still consider WWE to be better than TNA simply because with WWE you have contracted superstars, with TNA you don't. Don't make me bring up what happened with Randy Savage in TNA...

    You realize most wrestling fans will turn to TNA, see Christian on television, and think, "Hey, isn't this the guy that was losing constantly in WWE? Why should I take him seriously?".

    And don't even get me started on Jeff Jarrett. It's going to take some serious time for TNA to get anywhere near the level to compete with WWE.

    Exactly

    And lets face it TNA aint gonna be doing well staying in the same Orlando studios venue all the time.

    I'd say give it 5 years and TNA will either me made or broken.

    I'd love to stay and chat about this but I've gotta be up early, bye bye kiddies :lol:

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a WWE fan before I'm a TNA fan, but at the moment, TNA is giving way better matches & wrestling. WWE is just so predictable, watered down & for the most part boring, and it sucks because it's not like they don't have the talent.

    I don't like the way you are generalizing about wrestling fans, because you & I both know that any true wrestling fan doesn't base a wrestlers ability on how they have or are being used in a company. Sure, maybe a casual fan will perceive it as this, but a true fan like you would know what Christian is capable of and wouldn't be as naive to base him on how he was being used in another company.

    There are so many examples of underused talent in the WWE it's ridiculous.

    I'm not saying NO smarks watch TNA, but the majority that do watch TNA are marks.

    Smarks watch better stuff. Like Ring Of Honor, Combat Zone Wrestling, International Wrestling Alliance: Mid-South, Pro Wrestling Guerilla, Elite Wrestling Revolution, International Wrestling Syndicate, etc.

    Ah, I see what you mean. I wish i had access to all that stuff in Australia without importing dvds, etc. We don't even get TNA on cable here. We used to, but they canned it when TNA lost their TV deal, and they are showing no signs of bringing it back.
