Alex Shelley to WWE
WWE created NXT in order to find their next star. However, the company could easily save a lot of time by stealing Alex Shelley from TNA.

Alex Shelley to WWE
If you saw headlines like this, then you can be sure that most wrestling fans would simply shrug their shoulders.

The WWE fans that don't watch TNA would have absolutely no idea how talented Alex Shelley is. Those that do watch TNA will start overhyping his arrival just like they do for every single person that signs with Vince McMahon.

However, those of us that have been following Alex Shelley for quite some time now know that he's one of the most underrated performers in the entire industry.

Christian might have the Captain Charisma moniker, but Alex Shelley is right up there with him for contention of it. Anyone that can keep up with Kevin Nash on the mic is bound to have a gift of gab.

For some reason or another, though, TNA has refused to give Alex Shelley a big push, either as a singles star or with his tag team partner Chris Sabin.

That right there could provide WWE with the window of opportunity to "create" a new star. He could very well follow in the same path as Chris Jericho once did when he went from WCW to WWE.

Sex Appeal
During an interview, Kevin Nash was once asked what it took to succeed in professional wrestling.

Never been one to hold back on a great quote, Kevin Nash simply stated that you have to become the guy where other guys want to be you and girls want to be with you. Of course, the founder of the nWo used terms that were a lot less family friendly than the words I chose.

Alex Shelley is exactly that guy. Kevin Nash, a close friend, would be one of the first guys to back up that statement as well.

With the powerful WWE marketing team behind him, Alex Shelley could not only end up becoming a star but also someone that can move merchandise for them.

At 26 years of age and a unique look, Alex Shelley would be quite appealing to the younger audience that WWE is geared towards.

All or Nothing
Of course, all this talk means nothing if WWE were to steal Alex Shelley from TNA and not portray him as a big star. It would just a lateral move where he'll get more frequent flier miles and maybe a little more money.

WWE generally prefers to have guys working out in the developmental system for a year or so before bringing them up. Once they're brought up, they have to work their way through the ladder.

That approached hasn't necessarily worked out that well as of late (with the exception of Sheamus being skyrocketed into a spot that he wasn't ready for).

When WWE brought Chris Jericho in, he was immediately thrown into a segment with the Rock. That's how you instantly give someone momentum. That's how you build up hype.

That's how you got to bring in Alex Shelley.

Sting Turns Heel
TNA is trying to do something very difficult right now by booking Sting as a heel during his final months in the industry.

Sting Turns Heel
Sting made his much anticipated return to TNA on this week's episode of iMPACT!, which also happened to be the first one in which the company made the full time transition to Monday nights to compete with WWE.

With word spreading fast throughout the internet wrestling community, most people were already expecting to see him on Monday.

What they weren't expecting was that he was going to come back as a villain as opposed to being the hero that he has constantly been throughout his 25 year career in professional wrestling.

Sting not only roughed up Hulk Hogan, Abyss, and the newly signed Rob Van Dam, he also got physical with TNA President Dixie Carter backstage. Bats were flying everywhere on Monday night.

It's loud and clear. Sting is now a heel.

What's the Motive?
After TNA iMPACT! ended on Monday night, wrestling fans from across the world scrambled to their computer in hopes of finding some answers as to why Sting decided to become a villain.

The clues that were given appear that they're leaning towards a storyline where Sting is upset with TNA management for bringing in Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff to run the show.

With the long history between Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, and Sting, TNA lead writer Vince Russo should be able to come up with some compelling stories. The groundwork is there. He just needs to make it happen.

Since Sting is mad at management, he might be able to play the 'tweener role, where he is associated with both heels and babyfaces. It would be nice to see the former NWA World Heavyweight Championship criticizing AJ Styles and long time rival Ric Flair.

Team Player
This isn't the first time that Sting has portrayed a heel. He's done so a couple of times already throughout his career. While he doesn't necessarily like the role, he has always been a professional and done so out of loyalty to a company.

Just like legendary counterpart Shawn Michaels, Sting found revenge towards the end of his career. Both guys were known as the party types, but they ended up finding religion and becoming extremely dedicated to their families.

However, unlike Shawn Michaels, Sting is actually willing to be a heel. Obviously, there are certain restrictions that he has on how he portrays his character, but the fact that he's willing to do it shows just what type of person that he is.

This is more about praising Sting than it is about bashing Shawn Michaels. Every man has a right to their own personal beliefs. If the Heartbreak Kid doesn't want to be a heel, then that's his right to choose.

Divas Power 25 - Week of March 6th
I've decided to start this over.

23 - Maryse
The new Divas Champion was on the losing end of a wild Diva Pajama Pillow Fight Match. At least she looked good doing it.

19 - Michelle McCool
The Women's Champion wasn't in action on Friday's SmackDown, but she did find out that the powerful Beth Phoenix is itching for a chance at her title.

12 - Straight Edge Society: CM Punk, Luke Gallows & Serena
CM Punk helped his Rookie, Darren Young, pick up a win on WWE NXT, but he couldn't help Luke Gallows beat Rey Mysterio on Friday night.
