I personally find Cryme Tyme entertaining and The Hart Dynasty to be one of the best young groups in years. It's a shame that Jericho and Edge will have to drop the straps because they really would have been able to help elevate these groups.
Friday nights are also made solid by an extremely strong mid-card.
I love Rey Mysterio as the Intercontinental Champion and think he could help elevate stars like Dolph Ziggler.
I also think that John Morrison is closer to really making the leap to upper-card status.
It's definitely fun to watch on Friday's right now.
TNA
As for Thursday nights, TNA is almost a chore to watch at this point.
The Main Event Mafia is boring as hell now without Sting. I guess we are basically getting the nWo Wolfpack spinoff as Sting will try and form his own group to try and battle the MEM.
Throughout all of this, AJ Styles and Daniels continue to be buried, while Jay Lethal continues to be running around in a ridiculous gimmick. The show continues to lack ANY continuity at all.
It's clear that Kurt Angle, Booker T., and Jeff Jarrett still have the skills and the chops to be featured in main events, but the rest of the top tier is getting more and more difficult to watch.
If Booker T. and Scott Steiner go over Beer Money, Inc. clean for the TNA Tag Team titles, I might just be done with TNA.
I love the storyline of getting Main Event Mafia more involved in winning titles, but they need to make sure that it's all done through dirty tactics.
I have no problem with the group holding the World Title, Legends Title, and Tag Titles, but if Nash tops Styles straight up, then Styles might as well pack his bags because he has no reason to be at TNA anymore.
This week Mick Foley is supposed to return. This could be interesting. He still is a magician on the stick and cuts some of the most ridiculous promos in the business. But his ring work is scary at best and downright dangerous at worst.
I will keep my fingers crossed that this company can somehow make me care about it again.
