Timothy: Jack Swagger, AJ Styles, Beth Phoenix, Jimmy Wang Yang, Primo

Timothy has a good solid looking team. Swagger is defiantly in that US title hunt like so many seem to be at the moment and is young enough to perform often. AJ Styles is on 99% of TNA PPV’s and another pretty regular performer. Beth’s stock seems to have diminished recently but I still think there is massive potential for a Beth-Mickie-Gail Kim feud at some point and I think that Beth is a good no3 pick. Wang & Primo are decent picks as they are tradable but both do appear more than other 4th and 5th picks.

The first thing I think is lack of titles… Styles is always likely but has just come off a Legends title run and may not get another in this game. Swagger is in the US Title picture but then so are about 4 others so no guarantee there. The others seem less likely to get a title and therefore that might make it hard to win. But defiantly a solid team.


Rankin: John Morrison, Evan Bourne, Gregory Helms, Brutus Magnus, Batista

I really like this team. Morrison is bound for big things in this game I think and there is a strong support cast in place with Evan Bourne & Brutus Magnus leading the way. Helms has just returned and looks set to be a consistent scorer and if Batista returns even half way through this game he’ll get more points than most other WWE 5th picks. Very Solid Team.

Rankin’s team is probably the best consistent scoring team on paper but needs title points to actually win. Brutus Magnus is already a champion and I reckon might stay that way for a while yet. If Morrison can get in the title picture and maybe get a win and Evan Bourne can pursue the US Title then that will give Rankin a great chance and if Batista does return half way through and Rankin is close at the top his 5th pick might just be the Ace In The Hole.


Slashfro: Rey Mysterio, Samoa Joe, William Regal, Shad Gaspard, Natalya

Another Team that has Huge potential. Rey is one of the top face’s on SD and whether its for the IC title or World title he’ll be in the hunt. Samoa Joe is the best TNA pick IMO. I think he’ll have the title for the majority if not all of this game and will be on every PPV. William Regal seem to be an integral part of ECW these days either in a tag team or challenging Christian for the title. Shad and Natayla are less brilliant picks but if you think that Shad could be a tag champion come SS and there are hardly many divas on SD with Natalya’s abilty.

I think this team has potential for 4 champions (Rey, Joe, Regal & Natalya) and if not champions in the hunt for titles which means TV appearances and PPV appearances. If Rey keeps his IC title I think that this team will go extremely well. If not then Slashfro might need another title to go alongside Joe’s to win or some clever trades.


Gnrfan: Big Show, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Sheamus, James Storm

Well its my team so I think its good. I feel like I’d need some luck to actually win but I think I’ll do better than the last game. To win I think I’ll need Big Show to remain champion as long as possible and hopefully Dolph and Miz can sneak a title in the game and give me some title points. Sheamus has impressed me on ECW and that’s why I picked him. I’m hoping he does well enough in a support role on ECW but if not he is tradable. Not too sure about Storm, I think he’ll be steady and I’m just hoping they don’t ditch Beer Money and give Roode his push. The one that interests me the most is Miz as I am wondering what they’ll do with him within this game. I hope he does well obviously.

I'm aware that on paper there are teams that are look better than mine and i have a couple of "Lets Hope" picks but i'm aiming for a top 3 finish.
