I do not want to see Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins. I don't see how the dude who has been booked to squash John Cena & end Undertaker's streak can have a singles match with Rollins that doesn't have him completely demolishing Seth.

It just wouldn't work unless the match ends up being like Brock Lesnar vs. J&J Security, Big Show, Z-Gangsta, The Ultimate Solution, Kane & Seth Rollins in a Doomsday Cage match.

that's a stupid reason to not want to see a probably really good match between two great wrestlers since that can be covered by simple "heel weasels away from big face and cheats to gain advantage" booking that has been used for an eternity.

just have Brock smash his face into a ring post again, this doesn't take a ton of imagination.

Or if they want to turn Seth Rollins into a legitimate wrestler instead of a giant baby, just have him actually put up a great fight vs Lesnar (even if he ends up getting destroyed, having to cheat to win, getting himself dqed, or whatever bullshit finish they want to book) and have the announcers put it over as a showing of what he's actually capable of and what a shame it is he relies on the authority instead of standing on his own blah blah blah

That's always kind of been the deal with Seth. He relies on every shortcut in the book, but when push comes to shove, he can hold his own against the best of them. Hell, he even back flipped out of a German and kicked Brock's head off before Brock destroyed Raw.

I was in the Forbidden Planet in Belfast recently and the Nation's theme came on the radio very briefly, and a bunch of guys standing next to me were on the ball and quickly chimed in "are the Nation, of Domination" and then the song was skipped to the next one and I knew I wasn't the only one who was sad.

Sasha definitely has the fresher look at least. I think it's just a matter of wardrobe mainly because those hilarious push-up bras and cowboy hats Trish was rocking for most of her run are just as dated today as Lita's thong.

Was talking on the phone with Sly about doing The Expendables 4. We’re trying to figure out a way to maybe turn me into the most evil man in the world. Y’know, Stallone gave me my first break and he’s been a great friend. We had a great conversation, talking about the possibilities. Can I still run, can I still jump? Well, not as fast or not as high, but I think Hollywood could find a good stunt man to help me out.

That sounds like the network finally noticed that WWE was actively trying to discourage viewers from paying attention to ads. Or they just weren't getting enough people using it to justify producing the content. I asssume they'll still use the app for voting for poo poo though.
