Pro Wrestling's End of the Season; Wrestlemania

If you're looking for Pro Wrestling news, you've come to the right place.

Wrestlemania is right around the corner. We're coming up on a huge weekend in Orlando, with TNA, ROH, and of course the WWE all putting on shows.

TNA iMPACT! goes live for the first time on Thursday, and it should be interesting to see how it goes. I pray that they have issues with the commentator microphones, as Mike Tenay and Don West frustrate me on a weekly basis because they never stop talking. TNA is hoping to score big ratings on their first live iMPACT! on the back of a returning Sting as well as a Women's Title match where Awesome Kong will defend the title against an opponent chosen by the fans on their website at tnawrestling.com, where fans will vote for theirchoice during the broadcast, similar to WWE's 'Cyber Sunday' and 'Taboo Tuesday' flop interactive PPV's. The rest of this week's iMPACT! looks lackluster at best from what they've announced so far - when will TNA realize that you need to provide quality wrestling as well as intrigue in order to pop ratings?

As for Ring of Honor, they'll be in Orlando for 2 shows on March 28th and 29th, offering solid looking cards including Nigel McGuinness vs. Austin Aries and several excellent Japanese import stars. Tickets start at $20 and are available at rohwrestling.com.

WWE is of course 'tuning up the band', so to speak, as their season winds itself to a close. Wrestlemania is less than a week away and it looks to be a very solid show. The 7-man Money in the Bank match (sans a suspended Jeff Hardy) could very well be the show stealer as in years past, although the Shawn Michaels-Ric Flair retirement match will certainly be emotional, as in all likelihood it will be the Nature Boy's final match. I would rather personally see Triple H win the WWE Title than John Cena in the triple threat main event, though that's just personal preference, and if I had to make a prediction I'd imagine John Cena will win it as it seems he only dropped it due to that pesky pec tear. There's no way that they're ending Undertaker's 'Mania streak, so it looks like we have face champions on both brands emerging out of the show to end all shows. JBL-Finlay will probably be kept short, 10 or 15 minutes at best, and while it may be entertaining I don't imagine we'll be seeing that great of a wrestling match from these two. The women's match will be good for what it's good for. Big Show-Mayweather could be one of two things - very bad, or very ugly. It'll be very bad if it's your traditional 'celebrity' match where there isn't much action due to the celebrity not knowing how to work. Or it could be very ugly - and this I would find amusing - if Show decides to stiff Mayweather. It would be funny if he decided to throw a stiff blow or two and Show doesn't seem to be in a position to lose anything for doing so. At the least, it's the more interesting of the two options, though for all the hype I must say I'm not looking forward to Show-Mayweather.

All in all, it looks like we have a good, solid action-packed weekend ahead of us in pro wrestling, and I'll continue to be here to give you a rundown and keep you up on all the news, rumors and latest spoilers.
