All of my favorite wrestlers are injured or have become jobbers.

I'm sure the money and the prestige of the match would be all the motivation Sting needs to get into the best shape he possibly can.

If Goldust can do hurricanranas in the year of our lord 2014, I'm sure Sting will take his shirt off before getting in the pool.

And there's the real big problem: why only push one guy at a time?

I think a good way to get Cesaro over again would be to put someone in a no-hands UFO

Rehiring Chris Hero and reforming the Kings wouldn't hurt either. I've never actually seen that swing/dropkick combo before, holy poo poo.. :stare:

That Chris Hero got released and Colt Cabana will never get hired kills me inside, hoping to see Kings of Wrestling vs Colt/Generico in WWE, especially with how close we got.


I think Cesaro and Swagger did the swing into dropkick once.


I can't remember the last time I actually marked out for Cesaro. Probably Wrestlemania :smith:

I know I shouldn't be, but I'm really hopeful for how KENTA will do.

Charlotte/Nattie deserves to be on that list, but probably not as high.

I'd probably move Elimination Chamber to #10 and put Charlotte/Nattie at #9, and everything else just bump up accordingly.

It was surprising more than it was good. If you put two dudes in place of the two girls, it probably wouldn't be a MOTYC, but it is a nice step forward for women in WWE. Shame all the good women's wrestling happens on the C-shows.

To be fair, his half-assed color work involves being screamed at by Vince for 3 hours.


I was watching Raw Rewind on the network the other night and it was some episode from 2002, right after Benoit got back from neck surgery. There's a tag match main event, Benoit + Eddie vs Dudley's. King just says "Latino HEAT!" every twenty loving seconds through the entire goddamned match and after while Eddie's going back up the ramp while JR's trying to do commentary.

"Bubba Ray, completely decim-"
"Latino HEAT!"
"-ated, Spike Dudley sent through a ta-"
"Latino HEAT!"
"-ble right in front of us, just carn-"
"Latino HEAT!"
"-age everywhere!"
"Latino HEAT!"


He's always been poo poo.

In the kayfabe part of the 4 man championship match Sunday, doesn't it make sense, that if the DEMON Kane is loyal to the authority, that he could just quickly lay down and let Randy give him a quick 3-count?

Have they ever attempted to insert this angle into a match?

This is one area where WWE has trouble.

In normal storytelling, or in the territory days, when the babyface finally beats the top heel the heel is then gone for a while. He doesn't just stick around and move onto a lesser feud.

Bray could easily be rehabbed if he just went away for 3 months then came back in a huge way. But when he's around every show and we remember him losing to Cena it doesn't do him any favours.

When he didn't show up on the Raw after the Cena blowoff match (Payback?) and there was that really cool Harper promo talking about how it was their responsibility to spread his message now, I figured that was what was going to happen.

Bray goes away for a while, Harper and Rowan become the new Wyatt family, get to develop more rather than just being 'the other guys in the stable' and maybe at Summerslam Bray comes back during a match of theirs and just lays everyone out for corrupting his message or something like that.

I thought this was pretty interesting. Chris Harrington (mookieghana) had a look at the first 100 televised matches of those on the WWE roster that have had one, just to see what they were doing at the time. Here's the list:

I don't think I understand this list. AJ Lee's first televised match was in 2014?

If Bo had won the battle royal instead of Miz, in exactly the same circumstances, I'd be all loving over it.

The Miz, though ...
