6-Sided Ring, Lesnar, Smackdown Ratings, Guest Hosts

Written by Richard Gray on Jan 21, 2010 - 11:50:10 AM

Personally I loved TNA's six-sided ring. It was unique and innovative. I know at Genesis they changed the ring to more traditional four sided ring to the dismay of the fans. I think this was a big mistake and will really hurt TNA. What are your thoughts?

I was never a fan of the six-sided ring but many TNA fans were. One of the first things Hulk Hogan said he wanted to do in TNA was eliminate the six-sided structure because he was higher up on the traditional wrestling ring. The decision to bring back the old ring was completely up to him and I'm sure he has his reasons behind it. As I've mentioned on numerous occasions this is "sink or swim" for TNA with Hogan and Bischoff so we'll see what happens.

Will Brock Lesnar ever come back to wrestling?

I don't think it will ever happen. Lesnar has had a tremendous amount of success in UFC and he despised the pro wrestling lifestyle.

Why are the Smackdown ratings coming so late?

WWE Smackdown is the only new program that airs on MyNetworkTV each week so Nielson Media Research (the company that compiles the ratings data) considers the network a syndication channel, not a network.

Every week WWE has a new guest host on Raw and every week they do some goofy angle in their main event where the guest host wrestles. Wouldn't WWE be better served using their main events on Raw to build up storylines with their actual talent instead of wasting time with celebrities who are only there to plug movies?

I think the guest host gimmick is beginning to run its course but WWE officials are high up on it because of the mainstream media attention it gives the company. Hopefully the gimmick will only go through Wrestlemania but as far as I know there are plans for it to go at least that long.
