2012: The Summer of _____

[Poot-Hair]

I see its being the summer of TNA they have been on a role as far as building up matches right and also having good matches. Most importantly they have made the ending of their matches makes sense and i find myself now looking forward to each week of Impact or their PPV's. Lately when it comes to WWE I find myself watching Raw or a PPV just because, most of their current feud lack any real build up or excitement. As far as wrestlers go I have a strong feeling it will be Aries time to shine while over at WWe i believe it will be split between Dolph, Cody, Cena, punk & Byran. I dont see any of these guys having a major break through and breaking from the bunch.

My thoughts exactly dude. TNA has been pretty stellar here as of late. Going live is also a step in the right direction. Once people finally catch on to their new start time, I fully expect the ratings to rise a good bit. Part of the reason TNA's ratings have been in the dumps is the simple fact spoilers were absolutely trashing them. I think this summer TNA will finally start to break out.

The summer of AA, it just has to be. TNA need to capitalise on the greatest talent they have, a talent that is better than anything WWE can offer at the momemt!

"NOT AJ"?
Well too bad, thats my opinion.

I'm putting all my eggs in this basket: Paul Heyman tweeted a few weeks ago that it was going to be a "wild summer" or something like that. CM Punk responded with "They have no idea". I hope this means SOMETHING good for television. As for TNA, they had a very good PPV the other night that was bogged down by another let-down of a finish. Let's hope they bring the same enthusiasm to their weekly programming on a more consistent basis. Light a fire under the industry's ass. If TNA starts to make some noise and get more popular, then WWE will step their game up and we as wrestling fans will all be treated to something quite special.

I am certainly intrigued. Before I even read this, I was thinking the Summer of Lesnar - as in - Lesnar is going to actually do something crazy in the ring or backstage that garners some real media attention. That said, I would much rather prefer some sort of a triangle between Lesnar, Heyman, and Punk - with a quality wrestling storyline. He's an enormous face right now, so its tough to believe it will happen, but a major Punk turn with Heyman as his manager would surely entertain me. Example, Lesnar vs Big Face...Lesnar is destroying Said Big Face post match...Punk comes out to make the save...oh wait...GTS to Said Big Face...Punk Lesnar and Heyman all smile like demons in the ring, Cole and Lawler shit their pants, and we've got something interesting happening. After all, CM Punk "is a Paul Heyman guy."

This is what I was thinking also. And with Big Johnny pulling the strings perhaps? hmm...

The Summer of More Hogan.....according to Spike TV executives:60 year old Hulk Hogan and She Beast Brooke = huge ratings

Great thread.
as far as TNA goes...

Summer of Excitement- with Impact Live all summer long you can expect TNA to pull everyhthing out the bag, and with the BFG Series back, we can expect something exciting every week from Impact, plus with Gutcheck and Open Fight Night, TNA will be very interesting indeed.

Summer of Storm- with Storm already being foreshadowed to win the BFG Series, I think TNA will take this summer to expand James Storms character to one that is more universally accsessible and then have him face Roode at BFG.

Summer of Aries- Well I don't feel the need to explain this.
