Here is the very sad truth, WWE is no longer written for our generation. Straight up, for 20 years, WWE catered to the people born between 1975-1985. In the 80's Hulkamania was running wild and little kids ate that shit up like little kids do Cena now. In the early 90's they tried the New Generation thing, but their main fan base was not little kids anymore, but teenagers. Those teenagers marked hard for a heel Hulk Hogan, a cursing Steve Austin and a Pie Obsessed Rock. Once those fans got older, They started having kids, and started taking their kids to go see WWE. By that time their kids LOVED WWE, and especially John Cena. My little cousins go ape shit over John Cena, but I did too with Hulk Hogan. WWE is not catering to our generation no more, and it's all good. Times change, we aren't the young money makers anymore. But what they do must be working, because in a time when no one is making money, the WWE is one of the few companies that turns a profit every single year.
As for TNA, I try to watch it, if you like rehashed angles, then more power to you. That might be your thing, and their is something to say about nostalgia and how we feel watching people like Sting come out in red paint, or seeing the Wolfpack again. But I've been a fan of Cena's since the rapper gimmick, and I'm glad his doing his thing, and I'm glad WWE found a superstar that has the kids the way Hulk Hogan had the kids when I was young. Straight up, the reason Cena is champ is money, and those little kids. In 20 years, those kids will go to a John Cena book signing, and they will be adults taking their kids to see their hero the same way when I saw Hulk Hogan every guy my age had a son who was taking their sons to see their hero. It's the circle of life dog.

I really don't know what they were thinking; and it doesn't even have the name plates.
UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over:
Fuck TNA for not using this guy properly & splitting up LAX. Dixie is firing TNA's best talent (most of em TNA originals) - Christopher Daniels, ODB, Awesome Kong & noe Homicide.
TNA has released former X-Division and Tag Team champion Homicide. Homicide had been with the company since 2005. Since Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan came to the company, Homicide had not been used much on iMPACT!, mostly appearing on Xplosion. They shot an injury angle with him, involving Matt Morgan and Hernandez, which was supposed to lead to the return of LAX down the line.
Homicide recently relocated back to the Northeast, and it is expected that he will work a lot in that area again. Yes, that means ROH and other indy promotons.
Homicide commented on his TNA release via Twitter. Here is what he had to say...

I am not a fan. I was hoping they'd split the tag titles again and have tag wrestling in both brands. Maybe they'll unite the Divas and Womens title too.
