WWE Now Has "Competitive Advantage" Over TNA

     That's right folks, after years of fighting and struggle, Vince Mcmahons small company WWE, has finally begun to gain purchase against the wrestling juggernaut TNA Wrestling in the battle for wrestling supremacy. Details following the jump in this short article blatantly stolen from NODQ.


    "The Nashville City Paper covered the TNA lawsuit against WWE. 

    In their report, WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt commented, "Our reaction is that no good deed ever goes unpunished. What the WWE did here is what you would hope anycompany would do in these circumstances it found itself in."

    What McDevitt is trying to explain is, following WWE informing TNA that Brian Wittenstein was offering up "insider" TNA information, the company are feeling unfairly blamed.

    TNA claims that WWE is now using the knowledge obtained from Wittenstein to their advantage, and is trying to "poach contracted talent" from the company. “This wrongful disclosure and misappropriation allows WWE to effectively price TNA out of the market and cause irreparable harm to TNA’s business and profitability,” the lawsuit reads. “WWE now knows the confidential details of TNA’s business affairs including its marketing and business strategy and analysis, which leaves TNA vulnerable to WWE’s unfair position in the market,” the lawsuit reads.

    The lawsuit continues, "In order to injure TNA and gain a competitive advantage, WWE intentionally interfered with TNA's contractual relationship with Ric Flair and maliciously used the trade secrets and confidential information provided by Wittenstein to approach Ric Flair."

   A restraining order requiring WWE and Wittenstein to return any inside information Wittenstein retained and brought to WWE is a temporary order through the June 11 court hearing, according to the report. "

   Ok, so after reading this, I have one question for TNA.... THIS is what you think might allow WWE to beat your company? Not the fact that they have beaten you consistently in ratings since day one? Not by a small amount, not at all, but by MILLIONS of viewers each and every week. Or how about the fact that you couldn't build a star if every single child's life depended on it? It could possibly be due to the exorbitant amount of money you spend on such ancient fecal matter with names such as Hogan and Bischoff (Sr. and Jr. of both by the way). TNA, Don't waste your money on taking Vince to court, he will wipe his ass with you.

Sin Cara: Mexico's Power Rangers




We all know that Sin Cara 1 and 2 are from Mexico. It’s also no secret that aliens have a rich history in and around Mexico. Sin Cara shares a color coded scheme similar to the Power Rangers.  It’s also common knowledge that The Power Rangers got their powers from a…wait for it…ALIEN. That’s a pretty weak string of evidence right? Not as weak as you might think.

In the original Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, color played a major role in representing the characters personality traits and fighting styles; Red for strength and leadership, Green for an envious/jealous enemy, Pink for ultra-feminine, Yellow for feminine yet tough, Blue for intelligent, and finally Black for solidity and/or fluidity. Since the only 2 Sin Caras are Blue and Black (for now), they will be my main focus.

First, let’s cover the Blue Sin Cara. I understand that when you see him perform, “Intelligence” isn’t the first thing you think of, but let’s go a little deeper than first appearances. If you were to get a job in the WWE, what’s the smartest thing you could think to do? Exactly, align yourself with Triple H, the man that is being groomed to take over day to day operations. As we have seen, this has allowed Sin Cara to get away with things that would have gotten other superstars fired. Let’s go back a bit further than that to how he even got his job in the first place. How many of us could walk into a place of business, not speaking one word of the native language, get a job with them, and be thrust into their spotlight and be trusted to deliver? That had to be done with a very intelligent way of selling yourself. This intelligence would come into play with a full stable as he would naturally be the brains of the group. Using his smarts, he would be able to play mind games and get into the head of his opponents.

Secondly, we come to the Black Sin Cara, solid and fluid. While those may seem like opposites, just watch his matches. I know I’m not the only one that has noticed the fact that Black Sin Cara’s matches are more flowing, with less botches and his arsenal seems more solid, lethal, and damaging than his compatriot. Another thing to point out about this version is that he seems infinitely more confident and sure of himself than the Blue Sin Cara. He seems to know what he wants and just goes out and has the physical presence to just take it. This solidity in his personality would be very useful in a Sin Cara/Power Rangers stable, as he would be used as an anchor and enforcer of the group.

With the many personalities of all the possible Sin Caras, the WWE has a possible “Faceless” Power Rangers-like stable. I, for one, would find this interesting. At least we could have real superheroes wrestling instead of a robot built in the likeness of one. If only they could find some way to get the other Sin Caras to stop fighting otherworldly crime down in Mexico and give wrestling a try.

John Cena Is A Robot


[Editor's Note: This is my first ever column. This was originally posted by Tony Kegger on his blog after I sent him an e-mail and he decided to use it.]


      John Cena is a robot. I know, I know, some of you are thinking that this sounds like a fantasy story merged with a wrestling role-play game. But hear me out, I actually have some evidence to back me up. If anyone has the money to invest in robot wrestler technology, it’s Vince McMahon.

1. His Appearance: John Cena is built exactly as a Vince McMahon dream of a superstar: large chiseled muscles, good guy American looks, and nice clean hair-cut. I know that we have seen others with bits and pieces of Vince’s ideal image, but never before have we seen someone who fit this role as perfectly as John Cena does. His character is designed to have no discernible traits other than bright clothing. This allows the WWE marketing machine to just slap a new color on him and sell millions of new T-shirts every few months.

2. His Move Set: As we all know, Cena has a very limited move set consisting of his “five moves of doom” and possibly 2 or 3 more that he uses on occasion. Without the need for a varied offense, it allows Cena to be cheaper to program. This fits in with the idea that his “memory” is only able to hold so much information at any given time. And that brings us to number 3…

3. His Limited Promo Skills: Coming off of the idea of memory, we come to his promo skills. As some of you may have noticed, Cena seems to be on repeat when he speaks. Everything that is said is recycled in stages. Chasing the title, reprogrammed; wins the title, reprogrammed; loses the title, reprogrammed and repeat. Don’t believe it? Just go check out any of his promos. They are interchangeable.

4. Lack of Meaningful Injury: Anyone remember Cena’s triumphant return at the 2008 Royal Rumble? He was sidelined with an “injury” that was supposed to sideline him for twice the amount of time he was actually gone. Other than that one injury, can we think of any other legit injury? The only other that comes to mind is the worked angle he did where Brock Lesnar “broke” his leg.

5. His Original Gimmick: When Cena in developmental his name was “The Prototype”. For those that don’t know, prototype means “A first or preliminary model of something, esp. a machine, from which other forms are developed or copied.” The gimmick he carried at that point was…you guessed it, a freaking robot.

These are my thoughts on John Cena. This article is meant entirely as a joke, although it’s funny how all of this ties together. Let me know what you think about the possibility of Cena as a robot wrestler.
