Ex-WWE champion John Bradshaw Layfield has given his views on the new wrestling war between his former company and TNA.

Bradshaw, who was part of WWE when they won the infamous Monday Night Wars against WCW, put up a blog on his Facebook account.

In it, he shares his memories of that period – including criticising former WCW and current TNA writer Vince Russo and saying how it ended up being hugely positive for the wrestling business.

He then writes: “So the big question is… how does this war end?

“My guess, WWE will win but TNA will make a place for themselves.

“WWE has better overall talent and a deeper roster. However, as much respect as I have for that top talent, they have been the top talent for some time except for a few exceptions – Sheamus.

“Somewhere down the line WWE fans will get tired of top talent wrestling each other over and over.

“In the past WWE has created new talent, their future still depends upon that because a lot of the top talent are older and won’t be around in five years.

“TNA has the underdog and new guy going its way, it also has Eric Bischoff who I greatly respect. I think Eric on his round two with Vince will be prepared. Along with Hulk who wants to badly compete with Vince as well.

“Main thing here is international TV rights, which both covet and make money off of. With Hulk and Eric in the mix, TNA will get clearance in many good markets to add to their international profile.

“Also, with Dixie Carter, who is a good friend and someone I respect, you won’t have the WCW oversized corporation.”

JBL, who left WWE in April 2009, concludes: “I have made my prediction. WWE wins but not by knockout and TNA comes through it to carve their own niche.

“All the better for the guys that wrestle and for fans. It’s going to be fun and I’ll be glad to be watching this time from the outside.”
