2010, what went right? - 31 December '10

However much we complain about TNA and WWE, the truth is that 2010 has been an amazing year for pro wrestling.

TNA have definitely made the transition to one of the main wrestling companies in the world. Their tag team division is excellent and 2010 saw my favourite tag team at the moment, Motor City machine Guns, finally get the gold. MCMG along with Beer Money and Generation Me put on great matches every week and produce stuff the WWE hasn't done in years. If WWE want to be smart, they should sign some tag teams that are good enough to compete with TNA's. Well, anybody would be better than Cena and Otunga.

I love surprises and TNA have had plenty of them this year. Jeff Hardy returned to TNA right at the start of the year and he may have not been at his very best, but he attracted a hell of a lot more fans to the company. My favourite storyline of the year had to be 'them' finally coming to TNA. I really had no idea who it would be and it was a genuine surprise, as was Fortune joining on the next iMPACT!

WWE also has a lot of things to be proud of this year. Nexus dominated the WWE for the majority of the year with one of the best storylines produced in ages. I love the Nexus and they bring a refreshing edge to the PG shows, plus it has given a major push to Wade Barrett who should be a future champion. WWE has also done well to make sure the Nexus didn't get boring, adding Cena and Punk to the group kept it going all year. Roll on 2011.

Sheamus, Swagger and Miz have all become World Champions this year. The young talent has shined through whilst WWE maintained it's seasoned main-eventers. Lets hope next year some more talent will be pushed to the top as WWE will probably be losing some more superstars as they retire.

The Divas division hasn't done bad either. Putting LayCool together was genius and Natalya finally has a title. Melina and Beth both successfully returned from injury and WWE have gained a new Diva in Kaitlyn. 2011 looks like a good year for the Divas division.

However much we complained about the PG Era or Ric Flair wrestling (Again, retire already!), 2010 has been an excellent. Well done WWE and TNA, we are all looking forward to what you can do in the upcoming year.
