I'm not sure you can blame them though TBH. I can't think of many young guys in WWE that have really taken the bull by the horns, grabbed attention and made an impact.

There's been occasional glimmers of hope but no consistency. Kofi Kingston cut a great promo at the Garden a few months back but hasn't pushed on from it. Guys like John Morrison and R-Truth haven't really pushed on.

I see Ted Dibiase, Dolph Ziggler and maybe the Miz as the three most likely to take the next step at the moment.

The Miz has hit the glass celing. When he had that thing with Cena a few months back he had a great chance to raise his status to a level approaching Jericho/Edge. However, as he got squashed that never happend. Same thing has happend with Kingston. These guys have been built to a point that they're suddenly credible threats to certain people's spots and boom, squash city

It's baffling to me how they tell a 500 pound man to sell a splash from Hornswoggle by rolling out of the ring and staying down for a while afterwards but let a celebrity walk away from same 500 pound man falling on him.

In fact why are Hornswoggle and a celebrity anywhere near the main event in the first place?

News for TNA Wrestling in Manchester.

There was originally a 5 man ladder match but Kurt is now in a singles match and Hernandez is in a tag.

3-Way Ladder Match World Title: AJ STYLES VS SAMOA JOE VS DANIELS
KURT ANGLE VS DESMOND WOLFE
TEAM 3D VS HERNANDEZ & MATT MORGAN
 
Plus: THE BRITISH INVASION W/ BIG ROB, “THE POPE” D’ANGELO DINERO, ERIC YOUNG, AWESOME KONG & HAMADA, AMAZING RED, BEER MONEY, SUICIDE, TAYLOR WILDE & SARITA, CHRIS SABIN, and more!

3 great matches there and they'll be about 4 or 5 additional matches. From going Liverpool Olympia for the first small tour and then Manchester last year these house shows really deliver.

No Tara?!!

Wonder if I can get a refund on the engagement ring?
