A Preview for 2010

-By Lexicon

2009 is done and in the history books. Whether you loved it or hated it, it was what it was. 2010 looks like a much stronger year already, but we'll see how everything unfolds. Bret Hart returns to a WWE ring after a 12 year shun of Vince McMahon's program. Have you finally forgiven Vince, Bret? Or did you finally see enough zeros on that contract offer.

Hulk Hogan joins up with TNA to try to take down Vince and the WWE. Shame on Vince for giving Hulk the stage to become what he is today. I mean that in terms of a wrestling character of course, because the human being Terry Bollea is a divorce away from being homeless. Of course he'll always have Eric Bischoff's couch to sleep on, assuming that Bischoff isn't staying at Jason Hervey's place. WINK. Or is Hulk really wanting to help out this young company and make big stars out of "the little guys"? Something tells me that the moment AJ Styles makes a dollar more than Hulk, he'll be jobbing to Cody Deaner.

See? Good stuff already! One thing is for sure: WWE needs to get their act together. They are loosing fans left and right for insulting their intelligence. The writing has gotten lazy. The young stars are hitting a glass sealing, and others are taking the Triple H and Shawn Michaels elevator to the top. Even the booking seems lackluster. I don't think WWE has to worry about being put out of business by the hands of TNA though. TNA will run out of financial support before they can take over the ratings. I know everyone at TNA has been trying to stick it to WWE for awhile now, but what they don't seem to realize is that there is hardly any loyalty in wrestling. Most anybody they bring over from WWE will more than likely return to WWE or just straight up leave (see: Christian and/or Booker T)

So since a ratings war is unrealistic, what I'll do is measure the quality of each company in a 4 quarter grading system (3 months, 6 months, etc.) Let the war begin.
