IWC's "Wrestling Doomsday Clock" moved to 12:03 am.

       Karl Maxim is a 31-year-old, life-long wrestling fan and prominent member of the "Internet Wrestling Community", or IWC. He currently resides in Chicago, Illinois.
       Karl is a member of a panel of IWC veterans that publish the IWC's "Wrestling Doomsday Clock", a device, modeled after the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist's "Doomsday Clock", used to keep track of how close the wrestling industry is to it's final day. The closer the clock moves to midnight, the worse off wrestling is.
       And according to the clock, wrestling is past dire straits. In mid-2006, the clock was moved to 12:03 am. And that doesn't even make sense.
        "We felt it was absolutely appropriate" said Maxim. "Take a look around at what's going on. Fire is barely used anymore, they're not pushing AJ Styles, whom I absolutely love by the way, and John Cena is the figurehead. I mean, the guy knows like five moves!"
       The decision came out of a four and a half hour meeting held the day after WWE Unforgiven, in which John Cena won the WWE Championship from Edge. According to official transcripts from the meeting, made that way by the bold font at the top of the pages that read "OFFICIAL", some of the biggest reasons for the move from 11:59 to 12:03 were that "John Cena knows like five moves" (quoted 618 times), that "HHH was basically running the industry" (quoted 557 times) and that they "hated Vince McMahon" (quoted 1,103 times).
       Apparently not taken into account were the facts that wrestling was still very profitable, was on, at least, four times a week and that up-and-coming stars were plentiful.
       We presented Maxim with this argument.
       "Yeah but HHH will just bury all that talent anyway" laughed Maxim.
        "What would you say to the people that say HHH has spent the last two Wrestlemanias putting over the younger guys and that the only reason he didn't job to RVD was because he has a serious drug addiction?" we pressured the panel member further.
       Flustered, Maxim began loudly chanting "TNA" in our reporter's faces. Then he started to cry. We're not sure what this all alluded to.
       Whether it deserves to be or not, wrestling is past its' "Midnight Doomsday", according to the IWC's "Wrestling Doomsday Clock" panel at least. If PRWN ran the clock, it probably wouldn't even be at quarter-of, but we don't. That being said, were there any plans for a move backwards?
       "Backwards?" cried, a more composed, Karl Maxim. "John Cena knows like five moves!"
       We got the point.
       PRWN, whether fans of "the clock" or not, will try and keep you updated on it's movements. The panel is scheduled to meet on April 2, the day after Wrestlemania. If John Cena retains his title, it is rumored the clock could move as far as to 12:12 am. This, again, makes absolutely no sense.
