MNW II? Highly Unlikely

Why is it unlikely? Simple. WWE is getting younger, while TNA is getting older and older and older.

With the rescent pick-ups of Brian Danielson and Nigel McGuinness, WWE has pulled slightly away from TNA. But, you think about it, ever since CM Punk left ROH to get to WWE, MANY ROH stars have followed suit
  • Colt Cabana/Scotty Goldman
  • Matt Sydal/Evan Bourne
  • Low-Ki/Senshi/Kaval
  • Danielson
  • McGuinness

I know I probably left off some wrestlers, but you get the drift. Tell me, who were the latest guys TNA have picked up who made a difference like CM and Bourne?

  • Bobby Lashley/Former ECW champion/(lets face it) Future TNA champion
  • Dominic Dinero/ Former ECW wrestler Elijah Burke
  • Jethro Holliday/ Former RAW Tag champion Trevor Murdoch
  • Taz

TNA is turning into WCW...not the good MNW WCW, but the WCW who had the 3 Stooges of Wrestling, the WCW who focussed on the digruntled WWF/E wrestlers (Kevin Nash, Scott Hall in WCW; "Mr. Stalker McRoidHead" Kurt Angle and Matt Morgan in TNA...not to mention Team 3D) than they do with the young talent (Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero in WCW; Eric Young, MCMG, in TNA).

But what about ROH? They are losing out, BIG! Two GREAT legends of Ring of Honor, two GREAT wrestlers in general leaving the ROH brand for someone else. How does this keep happening? It's simple...they don't have money to keep people, heck...they don't have money to be on standard cable like WWE (USA, MyNetwork TV, and SyFy...::pronounced Siffy::) and TNA (Spike TV) let alone keep great talent like McGuinness and Danielson and others.

Either way, this is a good pickup by WWE (if they use them correctly) and a sudden blow to the fem-nuts of Dixie Carter and the entire TNA roster.
