Davros1: Jul 19, 2007; You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible

Right now, WWE is working on a algorithm to use once Vince finally shuffles off this mortal coil. Once completed, all they have to do is feed in a photo of Superstar. If the light goes green, then he's the man they push. If the light goes red, he's mid-card forever.

There will be no arguing with the cold, emotionless logic of the Robo-Vince.

From what I remember, it was fairly common knowledge that Goldberg was on his way out, but that Lesnar leaving was unexpected.

It leaked at the worst time, like a few days prior to Wrestlemania, and the fact that Wrestlemania 20 was taking place in New York meant that the already fairly smarky crowd was going to be incredibly smarky.

That whole match was pretty much a perfect storm of a Bad Situation. You had Goldberg who wasn't exactly a ring general and Lesnar, who while being supremely gifted and talented, was fairly new as well. Both were pretty rattled by the crowd reaction and weren't 100% sure how to proceed. Add in the fact that you had Austin who, in the average WWE fan's eyes, could do no wrong, as the special guest referee (and someone for the crowd to latch onto) and things were going to go loving sideways.

Lesnar is a little older/wiser and could probably handle a hostile crowd better than he did back at WM20. It'll be interesting to see what the gently caress happens with Reigns and how he'll handle being poo poo on (if he gets poo poo on.)

Also, neither Brock or Goldberg gave a poo poo.

There's that one, which is a good start.

This is the face of a man who knows he is unstoppable.

That sit-up proves it. Brock stole Taker's powers!

What's driving me a little crazy is that as much as I want Bryan to be in the Wrestlemania main event and win the belt, I also don't want that now. I wanted him to win the Rumble, but that didn't happen. What now? Bryan is unfairly kept down by the bookers, the crowd revolts until they have to give in and admit he's great, and Bryan wins the title? I've seen that story already, it was great. I don't want to be told it two years in a row.

I want Bryan to be acknowledged as The Guy and Vince to stop trying to depush him into the midcard forever, but at this point I'd really prefer it if they found some other way to do that and salvage Wrestlemania without just putting last year's show on reruns. Which, I don't know how the gently caress they can do that, but that's on their own stupid heads because the really obvious fix was to never have this problem in the first place.

It sucks, but take it from me, someone who's been watching WWE for over 30 years, sometimes your favorite isn't going to "be the man", no matter how talented they are, and how untalented the guys who do get pushed are. Just be happy that he's allowed to win matches.

The idea that ~~Tazz~~ Daniel Bryan could've ever been a main event talent in WWE is laughable. That guy was far more a beneficiary of being a big fish in the small pond of ~~ECW~~ ROH than he was a victim of being underutilized by WWE. I will grant that he probably could have been used better but someone with his size and his character was always going to come off a little silly in the big man's world of WWE.

Is it wrong I want her to be dressed in full military garb and be some sort of dictator of Smackdown? Not GM. Dictator Ruler General of Smackdown, Lana. Like M. Bison. Only Lana.

I so wanted Booker T to do this when he was King Booker.
