And I was just watching my sister play it! lol They need some fresh people in creative...cause some story lines seem to replay themselves just with different superstars. I was wondering since you could put your custom storyline online in the game (Correct, right? I haven't tried) If they go through and see what fans are creating... Except mine was Randy and Cena having dinner. Batista couldn't get home cause his car blew up, and he was hit by a car. All in all Cena wanted to have Randy alone...lol

I think it was very disturbing to see Husky Harris being beaten with a belt. Why the hell would anyone put up with that? I have to remember it's a story line though.. As for the rest of it, I have to say WWE you need to be slapped!! How dare you bring out the Big Show and make us think Wade was coming! UGH... I think Nexus and NexuSES has begun earlier than what I thought it would. Is anyone else tired of seeing the King battle Miz? At first I was like woot! and now it's gotten old quick. I'm SOOO glad we got to see HBK last night!!!! Congrats to him for getting inducted!! The thing about Wade going on SD! is that at least we get spoilers on what happens... ^LOL, yeah shame on WWE for getting us excited that Wade was going to come out and didn't. I am so tired of Miz and Lawler already. Where exactly are they going with them? Its going to be Miz vs Orton at the PPV already. It just makes no sense to have them fueding if its Miz and Orton. I don't know, I'm over them already.

All in all Cena wanted to have Randy alone...lol heh i don't know if they would want to see mine. it mainly consisted of sheamus, wade, melina and my original character Mia and involves a lot of jealousy and betrayal. resulting in our man winning the rumble and eventually winning the wwe title at wrestlemania. he gets the championship and the girl. yeah i'm not posting that online though LOL but yeah the druid one is pretty freaky. i think that's the "vs. undertaker" road to wrestlemania.

A focus group is a "form of research in which a group of people [around 6-8 people] are asked about their perceptions, opinions, beliefs and attitudes towards a product, service, concept, advertisement, idea, or packaging". (wikipedia) They do this a lot for movies and commercials. WWE should have that at least once a month. They should recruit those die hard WWE fans and have the creative team show them their storylines. They could work together (fans and the creative team) to make storylines that will please both the fans and wwe. This will keep the momentum going and not watch the same thing every week!

They should actually have to ask wrestling fans to be in the focus groups, since it's possible they'll try to weasel out by just asking people who either don't watch at all or haven't watched in years. If I remember right, TNA tried the focus group concept sometime last year. It resulted in yet another boring ECW redux, which leads me to suspect that they didn't ask anyone who's watched their current product.

They clearly didn't ask the right people. WWE should definitely do the focus group idea since there are reports that both Raw and SD are having low ratings. There is nothing to lose by trying.

Yea, they need to ask the correct people first off. Do groups for the different ages too and see what they come up with. Do a young kids ones. A young adult. Adults. Etc.

I very rarely defend Russo (because a lot of the crap he's put on TV is pretty much undefendable), but he genuinely does want to push younger talent. He was booking some very watchable TV before Hogan and co. showed up. Let it be known that TNA was doing better ratings in December of '09 (with a bunch of midcarders on top!) than they've done in the whole of last year with all the imports and crap.

Let it be known that TNA was doing better ratings in December of '09 (with a bunch of midcarders on top!) than they've done in the whole of last year with all the imports and crap. ok i'll at least give you that. TNA used to be really good. better than the WWE in a lot of ways.but Dixie Carter seems to be letting her employees make all the decisions. plus i have an issue with making someone like Jeff Hardy your world champ when the guy had a court case hanging over his head and was infamously known for drug issues.lest we forget that he supposedly showed up to a PPV event high as a kite. and spending the amount of money for that hideous ass belt when you can't even afford to pay the people who've been with your company for years like Chris Daniels. now that may not be Russo's fault entirely but he's cosigning it. it's like Paul Heyman said in a interview, TNA could be a great company if they just figured out a plan for the future. that's why McMahon doesn't really see them as competition anymore. say what you want about McMahon but if you asked him he could probably tell you what he wants to do with his company decades from now. he just needs to hire better creative.

I could write a whole book as to why Jeff Hardy is a terrible choice for World Champ and wrestler, and what a total jerk he is in person (I've never met the guy myself, but I know people who have and trust me, the things they've said about him are not nice) Oh, and who could forget his bashing video on CM Punk? Oh, and don't forget his brother Matt. Have any of you seen Matt's video's on youtube? I don't know if its just me, but it looks as if he's high on something in those videos. I think I'll stop right there, I can feel the anger rising with the Hardys, and the other stuff TNA is putting out there.

I've seen those videos. to me he just sounds like he thinks his fans are idiots and they just accept that. they even recite the things he says like parrots without listening to what their really saying. and he's a hypocrite. he bitched about what lita did to him but then he confesses that he did something like that to ashley when they were together. stating that " for a month there wasn't a day that went by that i wasn't with either amy (lita) or ashley" and i just found that highly hypocritical of him considering. also he likes to pretend he's smarter than what he really is. oh how i laughed at him pronouncing hyperbole as " hyper-bowl". as you can tell i'm not that much of a fan of matt hardy. he blames the IWC ( Internet Wrestling Community) for blowing the lita/edge story out of proportion but he was the one who broke story, even going so far as to make a video doing a "dramatization" with a cardboard cutout of lita telling the story about the day he found out. i just think he's pretty low-class
