| Quote: Roofs "The worst thing now in wrestling is there's really nowhere for people to learn their craft (compared to many years ago). So instead of having a guy debut in WWE who's had 10 years experience already (like Daniel Bryan) we're seeing more guys who are green but have 'the look'. ![]()
Well look at Sheamus, isn't he a 2 time champion and has only been on the Main Roster for 18 months? Same with Wade Barrett, he's had 2 main event PPVs and was thrown into a feud with John Cena on his very first night on the main roster. Sadly there is not a lot of scope for talent to hone their craft. TNA is a joke and a career killer. Only Ron Killings has actually made it from TNA to WWE and even he was a WWE star before TNA!
The independent promotions need to get together and form a new NWA type organisation with a World Champion with thriving markets all over the country. Even this may not work as anything that is not WWE is seen as 'bush league' and 'unproffesional'.

CM Punk
Mickie James
Consequences Creed [In FCW]
Would beg to differ. 
Jeff's first spell in TNA didn't harm him either. |

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

But even Punk took awhile to get over in WWE as he had the dreaded "doesn't know how to work" stigma over him.

You can't have creed as he hasn't even made it to the full roster yet! Otherwise you could add guys like Chris Harris to that list. I had actually forgotten about Punk's stint in TNA!

It's rumoured that they want to turn Barrett face? Not sure how that would work, maybe he backs up Cena after being "backstabbed" by Punk? Team him up with biggest face would probably ultimately get him over easily as a face.
It would kill any credibilty Barrett has for him to stay in Nexus with Punk as the leader.

Over to Smackdown to work as a Heel over there, building to a feud with Undertaker at 'Mania. There is talk of him being a babyface, but with all the heat he's gathered just recently off his feud with Cena, it would be silly to turn him face just yet. |

Hate to seem negative all the time lately, but have just realised that there really isn't (IMO) any potential matches featuring guys currently on the roster that I would pay to see for the Wrestlemania PPV.   I.e. they've usually been able to build at least one can't-miss match ( HBK v Taker at 2009 & 2010, Flair v HBK 08, Cena v HBK 07, HBK v McMahon 06, etc) but this year I just can't think of one that would really draw my interest. Anyone else feeling the same?
Guess it's to be expected considering they've lost guys like Batista and HBK over the last year, but unfortunately I can see it been this way for 2 or 3 years with Mania - I will watch it out of habit, but I can't see there been that feeling like years ago when you're really looking forward to it and have a strong interest in how the matches go.  |

| Apparently falling over the top rope can be so difficult you need to try it 3 times, before being thrown over instead. |

its a bit daft though to pull the top rope down when someones ducking their head to run into your chest.
That said, his attempt to cover it was funny.

To be honest Raw was better than it's been in months, and that was down to the matches being given some air time rather then 3 minute promos.
Miz & morrison would have graced any PPV.

Barrett is off to SD. Which makes sense as SD needs someone in the top heel role given Edge has gone face and the only other main event guy over there is Kane

I'm sure Maffew on that popular video sharing channel will (hopefully) have it covered soon.
