So, we've had lots of good discussion in the Wrestlemania thread. In between now and then, where do we see the WWE going? What feuds do you want to see? Do you feel TNA might finally get any better? Who knows?

I still wanna see a Miz/Morrison program because it'd be so easy. Then again I rarely get what I want storyline wise. So I'm guessing that Miz will be shouldered into some feud with Cena for the time being until Cena eventually gets the title, because I don't see their feud being over. Smackdown wise, I'd love to see Edge and Christian feud, but again, doubt it'll happen.

Well TNA can't get any worse

Last night's episode of TNA Impact! garnered a 1.15 rating

.......... I stand corrected

The correct answer is "No" and "Everyone but Dixie Carter".

But as for the WWE, I'd say Cena feuds with Miz for another month or so, then Cena moves onto feuding with Rock by Summerslam, as I cannot believe they're going to wait a year to make that match.

I think Del Rio will take the familiar path of being pushed hard, then pulled back a bit and given a B title like a lot of the new guys in the upper midcard/main event scene.

No idea what Taker or HHH will do now. Maybe Hunter can rekindle that feud with Sheamus, or perhaps he can be the next to face Miz.

Another thing is, the future kind of depends on how the draft shakes out for the midcard.

I'm thinking both Taker and HHH are gonna vanish for a while again, as HHH has made it clear that he's done everything there is to do and he doesn't care about anything else. And Taker's gotta sell the 'I was devastated so the 20-0 Wrestlemania match will be the last one.'

I think Cena will go about his business, maybe mix it up with Miz until the next pay per view, and throughout the next year, the Rock is going to randomly run-in and mess up Cena matches. (Also, possibly we'll get a bit where Cena goes to one of Rock's movie sets and gives him an F-U in front of his lead actress and a bunch of children or whoever he's working with - bonus points if Rock is either wearing one of those CG-sensor suits or some kind of goofy cowboy outfit or whatever) That'll be the slow build to Wrasslemania.

I think now that Christian is officially in the mix for a title shot, given tonight's Smackdown, the turn on Edge is inevitable. It's gotta be a triple threat ladder match at Extreme Rules (which is a crappy PPV title).

They've gotta do something to build The Corre back up into something not a joke. A name change would help. I'd love to see C.M. Punk's Nexus vs. Wade Barrett's Corre somehow.

Is it possible Lay can survive as a face vs. Cool? They've both so firmly established annoying characters that I don't know how they'll earn any crowd support.

Everybody in the locker room will gang up and destroy Michael Cole.

I'm personally hoping that they ditch this ####ty PG era junk now that Linda is done with her political stuff.

I agree with turdburglar, the PPV names are just AWFUL and have been for a while. Remember the old PPV names? Over the Edge, Vengeance, Fully Loaded, No Way Out, Unforgiven, Judgment Day, Armageddon, No Mercy...now we get names like Extreme Rules, Over the Limit and what I consider the worst, Bragging Rights. That, and a bunch of PPVs named after matches. Seriously? Does that means they're gonna come out with a PPV called "Singles" or "Tag Team"? Then they stole the Great American Bash from WCW and renamed it "The Bash" which is probably the worst name for a PPV I've ever heard. And what about King of the Ring? That PPV used to be awesome. The winner was always someone who was slated to get a push in the near future and become champion, or at the very least someone who was an exciting in ring performer. Well...except Mabel. I still can't believe he won in 1995. That and Billy Gunn in 1999. But past winners like Steve Austin, Triple H, Kurt Angle, Bret Hart, Edge, Owen Hart...great talent there. And then suddenly they got rid of it, and turned one of their most prestigious PPVs into something you can see on Raw or Smackdown. They completely killed it.

Who says she's done? Losing one election doesn't mean she won't try again.

Bragging Rights, Over the Limit and The Bash are terrible names for PPV, but so were those other PPV names. They just all sound like generic rock album titles. At least a title like Night of Champions (which stems back a bit for traditionalists), TLC, Elimination Chamber, Hell in a Cell, Fatal Four-Way and to a lesser extent, Extreme Rules, flat out describe what the show involves. What kind of matches you're going to get, even if they don't announce anything that far in advance. That I can understand.

But King of the Ring would be nice to see brought back as a PPV.

Well, I'm not sure how "Over the Edge" is really any better than "Over the Limit," but Bragging Rights is really carpy.

Didn't they just do King of the Ring again and had Sheamus win it?

I'm kinda fine with PG, though. I watched it when I was a kid, and kids watch it now. The R-rated stuff gets them into creepy things like stripping Trish and making her bark like a dog.

If they really are breaking LayCool apart as I'm hoping that they one of them has to be turned face. Which one it will be I'm not sure but if your prediction that it might be Layla is right then I'm happy with that. I would rather see her as face than Michelle.

I don't know, hopefully they set up the "draft" again. I don't think they can afford to turn Edge, or even Christian for that matter, as Orton isn't that big of a draw as a face as they wanted. Orton needs to do a turn, but Raw doesn't have but one face, that no one likes. Its a tough situation because there isn't anyone around, and they haven't been treating the young guys seriously enough to give them a push.

I'd like to see Christian on Raw, and Orton turn heel again, maybe join Punk (shrug), finally seeing that he's gone soft and he's no longer the guy who punted Punk two years ago. Even though he won @ Wrestlemania, he didn't come off looking any stronger.

I really hope they treat Cody correctly, and handle him with care. Right now he has good momentum, hopefully they won't squash him. Morrison needs to be pushed to main event level, I don't know if you strap him, but give him more of an opportunity than a 6 way.

The weird thing is that there isn't any physically imposing bad guy around (that hasn't been done to death Kane and Big Show are basically jokes at this point after the way they treat them). The top face dwarfs the people he's facing, its hard to pull off the OMG he's so resilient when everyone he faces is 5 inches shorter and 100 lbs lighter than he is. He (Cena) almost needs to turn heel, but you'd have the problem of making children cry, not selling as much merch, and not having anyone to fill that space. So it won't happen, but I'd enjoy it.

I think Vince has said thats it as he does not want to waste more money
AS to the titles I think ABR takes it from Edge at Extreme Rules due to Christian setting up E and C at Summerslam. I think Vince wants that match but not for the title or as a main event. Plus it seems obvious Edge will lose when they keep bringing up how the ladder is Edge's specialty

As to Miz.. I would have loved to see him against either Morrison or Bryan at ER instead of Cena but it wnt happen.
1) Morrison has nuclear heat right now
2) Bryan is now reducded to not even appearing at Mania
3) Cena has no one else to fight with

Just judging by what happened in that match - Lay was legit knocked off the ropes, and McCool was being a snotrag about it. Maybe they'll get drafted to separate brands or some such.

Summerslam will be the next PPV I intend to order unless it gets a mediocre card full of rematches, in that case, I’ll wait till Survivor Series.

- I don’t believe we’ll see any sign of Undertaker until at least the fall/winter.
- I would prefer CM Punk going on his own. Besides the increase in air time he hasn’t been doing all too well surrounding himself with cronies that insist on jumping in 95% of the time.
- As far as the Draft goes; Orton, Daniels, and Santino going off to Smackdown and Kofi, Del Rio, and Kelly Kelly coming to Raw are just a few of the trades I'd like to see. At this point I am not certain on where everyone even belongs since they have been jumping around lately...especially when it comes to the Divas.
- Cole is beyond irritating at this point. If he doesn't get canned then at least maybe they can isolate him to just Smackdown commentating so he can calm down a bit.

See to me, I at least found the older names catchy. Judgment Day and Armageddon made it sound like what would happen was gonna be the end of it all, which made it sound kind of exciting. The other names just sounded hardcore and violent (No Mercy, Unforgiven, etc) and that sounded appealing. Naming a PPV after a match is kind of lame, I think. Especially since at Hell in a Cell, there was only 2 Cell Matches. Night of Champions I don't mind that much (sounds kind of like a Flare for the Gold to me).

You'd think that would be the case, but given the serialized nature of sports entertainment it just makes it sound misleading. Nothing really ended at those. Personally, I don't think a PPV should have a name implying a sense of finality if there isn't any.

Bring back King of the Ring. Remember when they'd have a King of a ring Tournament where the winner didn't immediately go into a royalty gimmick that would ruin their career? Instead they'd typically get pushed into a Main-event role (Sorry Billy Gunn and Ken Shamorck) and it was worn as a career building badge of honor? Those were good times huh?

Also KoR gave us Foley thrown 30 feet into a table and chokeslammed to death, and Shan McMahon getting Angle Slammed twice through a window and thrown through about 3 others. Hell most of KotR 2001 was amazing, probably in my top 5.
