Where do you see TNA, WWE, ROH, CZW and any other (in your opinion) important indie circuits going?

Do you think TNA will rise up and really challenge WWE? Will they eventually be bought out by WWE and just form some super company? Will we lose the 'excitement of competition' forever?

What will happen with ROH, and any other indie circuits? Will they merge with TNA/WWE/another indie circuit?

Really open to what you wanna discuss...

ROH is slowly learning its place. It is the new breeding ground for talent for WWE and TNA. Just look at all the stars in TNA that were made in ROH and WWE capitalized on Bryan Danielson and CM Punk among others.

TNA will continue to piss off their real fan base and they will abandon the company. If you notice the monday night battle they had RAW didn't really lose any viewer ship. RAW had like 5mil people watching like they usually do, TNA had what 2mil people watching? I bet the majority of TNA fans that watch IMPACT every week do not watch RAW anyway. Just my opinion. Since TNA is doing everything they can to be more like WWE. IE: Val Venis and Kennedy going over on two TNA made stars and the crowd turning their backs on the wrestlers. Honestly Hogan doesn't know what TNA fans want. Hogan and TNA fans are totally difference I think. Hogan wants characters who can talk and all that. Well TNA was built on the X division, their slogan was "Less talk, More Action". And they lost that spark a long time ago.

WWE continues to be the powerhouse making that money money yeah yeah. Nothing can stop them IMO except a major lawsuit.

CZW I lost faith long time ago.

The foothold of every company will be the same, no one will be able to slow down WWE, no matter how smarks feel about it, TNA will continue to waste money and stumble as long as Russo is booking and Dixie Carter has power. She's the dumbest twat to ever run a company. RoH won't improve with guys like Cabana and Hero at top, they aren't as good as people think. And the indies, RoH included, will get bolstered if TNA cuts alot of the talent that is rumored to be asking out. Homicide back in RoH? Shit yah, awesomeness.

I do not think that TNA will be a legit rival to the WWE until they find a true idenity and not just pick up the WWE's sloppy seconds and old wCw/ECW guys. I remember back a few years ago they were being called a ROH ripoff, and now a WWE ripoff. What they need to do I believe is find an idenirty of their own, somewhere in between ROH and WWE.

Sorry for the boring response but I don't think much will change. TNA may get the to point where it can be a comfortable lesser, weekly alternative for WWE but I don't see it ever challenging them in the capacity that WCW did.
Honestly for ROH for some reason I sense a WWE buyout at some point in their future.

I think that ROH may be bought out by the WWE (if it happens) similar to why I think that Vince bought ECW, they weren't real competition but why not just monopolize the mainstream wrestling audience?

The only one I see getting close to WWE is Ring of Honor, bar any drastic booking changes by it or TNA. But when it's almost big enough to challenge the WWE legitimately, Vince is just going to pull out the checkbook and start snatching wrestlers until they dwindle into obscurity.
