[Rammsteinmad]

I'm quite surprised at how much has happened.

Seriously, looking at these things on a list you'd think this has been the best year ever for wrestling.

[The One]

THE ONE's Top Ten Stories of 2006

I forgot about the rise of LAX in TNA. Well, I'm too lazt to edit my list to include it, but I guess LAX would fall somewhere inbetween 9 and 7.

[Jeritron]

I'm quite surprised at how much has happened.

Seriously, looking at these things on a list you'd think this has been the best year ever for wrestling.

Not really. Think about past years. This years actually been pretty uneventful. How about 2001...The Invasion Angle, WWF buys out WCW (real life), Flair returns, Jericho wins the title, RVD debuts, ECW reforms, Austin turns heel, HHHs injury, Benoits injury, Jerry Lawler quits and returns, Edge and Christian break up

or 2002: hogan returns, nwo invades, austin quits, rock retires, brock debuts and becoms youngest champion, shawn michaels returns to the ring, triple h returns and wins rumble, bischoff becomes GM, kane returns, the elimination chamber, rey mysterio signs


2006 sucked

[M-A-G]

The biggest one? Vince going over God, duh.

[DRBailey]

The wellness problem?

[El Fangel]

None of the above. 2001-2006 were terrible years for wrestling

[Jeritron]

Yes I completely agree. But on paper 2001 and 2002 were good, event wise. However 2006 sucked in real life AND on paper.

[Vastardikai]

10. TNA pushes the best homegrown talent for 18 months, only to feed him to newcomer Kurt Angle: Making the casual fan see that WWE Stars > TNA stars in the process.
9. Even God jobs to Vince McMahon.
8. The man who makes El Gigante look like Bret Hart: The Grand Khali.
7. The Greatest Debut in Wrestling History: The Zombie.
6. Chris Masters goes on the Blow Away Diet: Loses 50 lbs. in 5 weeks.
5. Kurt Angle continues to attempt to kill himself.
4. Victor Quionnes dies, and faces Bruiser Brody in the biggest Grudge Match in Underworld History.
3. Randy Orton proves that he's the future (asshole) of the company.
2. The Eddie Guerrero Memorial Circle Jerk
1. December 2 Dismember: My first PPV had to be the worst one of all time...

[El Fangel]

Yes I completely agree. But on paper 2001 and 2002 were good, event wise. However 2006 sucked in real life AND on paper.
2001 is when Invasion rolled around, and since then it has gotten steadily worse, think about what it would be like if the Invasion had never happened, they may have lost the fight, but they won the war, They got some of thier people in thier and the rest went to TNA pretty much, it seems like the master plan, got the planet on hold, flip them fools like clamshell cellular phones. Oops nevermind but seriously it seems like wcw/ecw is killing WWE from inside while the rest kill it off, by TNA getting bigger. It is something I thought about for quite a bit.
