Is This The Beginning of The End For The Main Event Mafia?

First of all, wrestling fans, I would like to thank you for reading and responding to my  "Assassins E-mail Revealed" article. It evidently sparked the reaction I was looking for. With more than 20 comments from prominent writers in the B/R Wrestling Section.

It showed the true diversity of opinions here on B/R. I believe that is the core of what we as wrestling journalists here on B/R stand for—letting our voices be heard. Thanks again to all parties involved.

Now, to the main subject at hand—Total Nonstop Action. I haven't written a piece on them yet and I feel TNA really deserves a lot of credit. I really enjoy watching TNA Impact. I get to see a lot of familiar faces and I like the action.

One familiar face is di capo de tutti capo (Boss of Bosses) of the Main Event Mafia, Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle. In my mind, the Main Event Mafia is the most powerful faction in professional wrestling right now. How can you go wrong with Angle, Sting, Nash, Booker, and Scott Steiner?

I really respect TNA and their programming. They have veteran play-by-play man Iron Mike Tenay, the best in the business besides "Good Ol' JR." They also have an array of really great wrestlers such as A.J. Styles, Jeff Jarrett, and Samoa Joe among others. Also the familiar face of James E. Cornette is a big plus.

All of these extremely gifted people have a great knowledge of the business and adds a lot to TNA's programming. Personally, I'd much rather watch TNA Impact than WWE any day. Kurt Angle in my mind is the best professional wrestler in the industry. The only man I feel can compete with his in ring ability, charisma and intensity is WWE's Randy Orton.

I feel that WWE is still trying to find their groove as far as their programming goes. With the PG rating it's obvious they want to change directions. Even though TNA isn't the marketing empire that WWE is I believe it has already found it's groove.
