WWE needs competition..

Monopoly can be a scary word, especially in light of how this term relates to the industry of professional wrestling. We (wrestling fans) all remember the fateful year of 2001, when WCW was bought out by the WWE and the Monday Night Wars ceased to be the focal point of the genre known as 'Sports Entertainment.' What was initially thought of as a victory from the WWE fans' vantage point has sorely become a tiresome cluster of workers who 'mail' in their efforts. As an example the initial 'invasion' angle was nothing but a feeble attempt at squashing what was viewed as a tarnished WCW (NWA) legacy. (Remember that by this time, Vince Russo the booker had already put the WCW belt on David Arquette.) Whoever was under contract to WCW at the time, (Booker T, DDP, some cruiserweights,.) came over as part of the package deal, while the guys under contract to Time Warner, (Hogan, Nash, Goldberg...) sat at home and waited for their contracts to expire. Week after week culminating in a September PPV, the WCW guys were squashed and a legitamite brand was put out to pasture.

Since that time WWE has lost its creative edge, becoming the Triple H and John Cena show. Oh sure, the part time guys are still there, (Taker and HBK) but with an accumulation of injuries, age factors, and lack of desire, more wrestlers are just going through the motions. While were at, please don't tell me that TNA is competition!,..I am not sure what the hell it is! Hopefully, it will grow to become somewhat of a decent competition, unfortunately I don't see it for the foreseeable future. It'll still be known as a haunting ground for released WWE wrestlers.

Later,
