In 2014 we got to see alot of bad like Adam Rose & The Bunny, The Wyatt Family split with no rhyme or reason, and grouchy cat have a moment with Miz and Mizdow… That alone might make you turn off Raw.В But you have to hold on to the good things to have hope.
Good stuff like Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose redefine the lumberjack match, and nXt rEvolution which had so many great moments and an energy level like no other.В Lastly lets remember that Sting has finally come to WWE to write his last chapter to and already legendary career.
Now as fans we look to 2015 to once more take us on a roller coaster of emotion and fill our lives with heroes, villains, and champions.
With out further delay lets countdown 5 big reasons to get hyped about 2015!
Number 5: WWE Network
Ok so in 2014 we all had the PPV go down during big moments and small moments alike. Servers stall or crash, and as of this article Europe is still clamoring for the Network.В Year one and really with something like this you need to expect technical difficulties.В WWE knows it and is working on it, and in time it will get better.В As a wrestling fan though you can have ECW, Raw, Old School Raw, WCW and every PPV from the big three playing 24/7.
Now we see new programs like Monday Night Wars and Rivalries just starting up and getting better.В The best part is the unlimited new programming and original content that can be made to drive this fans dream come true for only $9.99.
Honestly people nXt is getting better each week and that alone is worth price of admission. Even the monthly PPVs are worth $9.99.В SURE WWE ppvs can be hit or miss but everyone of them have a couple gems if not a complete slam run. So with the Network growing and new content being developed 2015 already has everything a wrestling fan could ask for.
Number 4: The Vigilante Sting
Is this really happening? I mean did the man called Sting just end the Authority?
Ok marking out aside this event lets you know that Sting will wrestle, he will be at Wrestlemania, and one way or the other Sting will fight and wrestle in WWE.В Weather he faces Undertaker, HHH, or Wyatt… Who cares, get your leather duster and facepaint on cause its Showtime folks!
Number 3: Lucha Underground
It made its debut on Del Ray Network, with Johnny Mondo (aka Johnny Nitro), Chavo, Konnan, and Prince Puma (aka Ricochet).В It’s fresh, stylish, And best of all diffrent.В Some say the ratings arent hih enouh, but this show has a real potential to help Lucha Libre get over in the USA.В I am excited to see what talent overlooked by WWE, and ex-TNA and ROH stars will come to reinvent themselves in the Lucha Underground temple.
Number 2: Global Force Wrestling
Jeff Jarrett is why TNA hit the map, and he left the sinking ship to create the most exciting new WWE alternative yet. With the support of 6 indy feds like the majestic New Japan Pro Wrestling, and a resource of a staggering 500 plus talents at his disposal.В JJ may be looking to reinvent the industry and may infact be giving birth to the first real taste of competition WWE has felt in over a decade.
Sure it is too early too say for sure but with Wrestling Kingdom 9 and Jim Ross announcing… Well let’s just say Jarrett has the stroke and is looking to make a new kimd of Impact in 2015!
Number One: nXt
The undeniable next generation of WWE superstars.В After OVW, ECW 2.0, and FCW the global phenomenon of WWE has a development product that not only works but is consistently better than its flagship of RAW.В If you have any reason to believe in a bright future for pro wrestling it may be in the idea that when Vince retires, Triple H will be the undisputed boss.В Sure Vince still has final say on Raw and so we see Kane tombstone a bunny.В But on nXt you get to see The Man Gravity Forgot, and International sensations Finn Balor and Hideo Itami… Or how bout Generico and Steen… I mean Zayn and Owens!В Yes for years your best wrestling was on the indy scene.
Now the best of the indies is on nXt and each show they get better an better.В You want models who cant wrestle waste AJ Lee’s time, watch Raw.В Oh you want women who kick ass even better than they look? Watch Charlotte shame even the men on nXt.
Tired of the Uso Crazy trend… Watch refreshing and amazing teams like Lucha Dragons and The Vaudevillans.
So Raw and Smackdown may get better in 2015 but nXt will get better and that is my number one reason to be excited about 2015!!!
