Everyone who gets extremely over for a couple weeks should get a run in order to run with the run and capitalize on the run. super-pumped energetic spontaneity that really juices up the pigs on weekly programming like that is absolutely key to the experience. Even that time ryback got very popular for 3 weeks, he should have won the title belt off of CM punk, and he died after losing that match. the only way to make a star quickly is to run their run straight to the moon. otherwise they have to do it like kofi kingston or chris benoit where everyone feels bad for them after a long time and there is a 50% chance that they will do very bad things later.

Joe should have gotten the title that time he came out with a cool promo about everyone just like The Rock would do. does anyone remember when the rock would just keep on saying, "and another thing, let the rock tell you this, let the rock tell ya, let the rock tell you this" while thinking of something to say and it wasn't even that good once he came up with something. that happened a whole lot. It is like a ghost's dirty diaper in history. no one brings those days up

hot take incoming: if HHH vs Batista is gonna be a 7-minute sprint like Goldberg/Brock was a couple of years ago it'll be awesome. But it won't, so it won't.

If we get Cena vs. Joe 20 years in the making, will that be acceptable? It's such a slam dunk, can even WWE miss it?

Or it's going to be an overbooked mess a la the Shield vs Kane/NAO match. A thousand interferences on Triple H's behalf for Batista to fight off, only for Batista to snap his fingers to summon the mighty Chrises Evans, Pratt and Hemsworth.

Shield/NAO was like 3 minutes and ended with them giving Kane the powerbomb without ever leaving the ring (I don't think Roman even did the drive-by dropkick). Are you thinking of HHH/Sting, maybe?

Are you thinking of HHH/Sting, maybe? Probably, though I'm more likely conflating the two. I think Batista needs to be as dominant in that match as the Shield were in theirs, and that one of the few ways to salvage the match is to throw as much poo poo out there as possible. Guest celebrities, Attitude Era guys, the works.

His matches later that year: against Cena at the Greatest Rumble in Saudi - longest match of the night that wasn't the Rumble against Taker at Super Show-Down - longest match of the night against Taker and Kane at Crown Jewel in Saudi - longest match of the night

Is that including entrances? Because no way was Angle/Rousey vs Hunter/Steph 35 minutes. It was like 20, and that's half of why it was the best match he's had in years.
