Thauros posted:Barrett's character has been tweaked but no more than a lot of people's during th e same period and is still definitely recognizable. Of course, the best he's achieved since getting kicked out is a couple IC title runs so it's not exactly high praise to note him as the most prominent guy whose career was launched by the Nexus. i'm honestly amazed wade barrett was never pushed to pre-unification WHC level. it seemed like a given.

Lid posted:Orton is less a lock than I consider because he's erratic. He's essentially a main eventing Teddy Hart and survives on that they need him. He may clean up his act with maturity, but he has serious problems right now. Well good to see I was right on Cena and Punk. Less happy to see I was wrong on Shelton X Benjamin. Still think Burchill should've gotten that IC run if Vince didn't end his gimmick because he through "pirate" in wrestling meant Jean-Pierre Lafitte.

Jerusalem posted:I've been really impressed with the way Bobby Lashley has been handled. They haven't pushed him to the moon too soon, they got his undefeated streak out of the way, and most importantly they have him working consistent matches with guys like Regal, Booker T, Finlay and Benoit who can all teach him so much about wrestling, ringwork, psychology etc, etc. What's sad is that I remember being genuinely impressed with the way WWE was handling Lashley and I still think things could have worked out but then everything just fell apart and now the very idea of Bobby Lashley: Future WWE Main Eventer seems ridiculous

Everyone should, Brock Lesner's not drawn the same since and the whole storyline for John Cena that year is that he had a terrible year. No reason to have Cena go over.

That was at least the third time they've done Passion of the Cena and probably the only time it wasn't boring as gently caress on account of Cena busting open early on and Brock actually being a monster heel, which WWE is otherwise allergic to doing with anyone. Notably this match was only mentioned in passing in the build-up to the rematch two years later. As I understand Cena was concussed, which is why he gave some dumb goodbye speech, but no doubt that could have just as well been a political thing to further bury Brock. Cena has a reputation as a 24/7 company line guy but I don't know how accurate that is. From that point onward they booked Brock much better, but way to put your biggest get in a decade in the hole early on simply out of being petty.
