I didn't think that video was very good. I mean it was funny but only a little.

<p>The Rock Conert gave us the line about Cena being married and making out with Eve. That was the best part. Should have been followed up though with Cena going crazy on the Rock. Didn't Kane force Cena to embrace the hate going into Mania?</p><p> </p><p>
HHH and Undertaker would have been more interesting if HBK super kicked Undertaker. Then the following week kicked HHH. It would be good because everyone would think HBK is going to help HHH. Then the next week he swerved everyone and now they thing he is neutral. Would have been better than these staredowns.</p><p> </p><p>
Jericho and Punk are having a great feud heading into Mania. I like it and am really excited for the match.</p><p> </p><p>
Bryan vs Sheamus is looking like a good match I think. I actually could see Bryan winning somehow but wouldn't mind if Sheamus won since his amazing push.</p>

Know what really grinds me gears about sequels? Especially sequels that begin right as the previous one ends?
I'll tell a story to explain what I'm trying to say so I don't mess it up.
So I finally sat down and finished God of War 2 and then immediately put God of War 3 in. At the end of 2 you have the Sword of Olympus which is apparently this amazing weapon that you get to use for all of 1% of the game. In all of the opening videos for GoW 3 it shows Kratos using the Sword of Olympus, yet in game you can't use it and the only magic you have is this tornado thing.
I get it, it's a new game, you shouldn't start out all powerful and what not, but come on.
I agree it is annoying. You should start out as powerful as you were before. Then the beginning of 3 should be basically a tutorial. If they want to have your sword taken away or something then work it into the story. Same with the magic and stuff. All sequels should work similiarly.

Ok so my I want to get a new baseball game for PS3 (haven't had one since EA made the college baseball game on PS2).
MLB 2K12
Impressions of it watching videos on youtube...
1) Looks like fantastic presentation. I really like this in games as it keeps things fresh and interesting I feel.
2) It has my hometown team on the cover with Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander (big Tigers fan).
3) The strategy to it seems more realistic.
What I want to know...
1) Playstation Move compatible? My fiance bought me the PS Move for xmas and I haven't played it yet. So I want a fun game I can play with it. She said she would play some baseball if it was compatible too.
2) Do the graphics bring it down that much? The Show looks better graphically but the presentation appears to be lacking a lot.
3) How is Franchise mode as that is my favorite part of any sports game. I love building teams up into dynasties.
MLB The Show
What I know about it...
1) It appears as though most people prefer it because of the graphics and physics.
2) Heard that it gets boring and games can take far too long.
3) I know it is Move compatible. So my fiance would give it a shot for sure.
I just want the most fun game that I can get into for a long time. Been playing NCAA Football 2012 pretty much since it came out. Want a new game to play and since it is baseball season that is what I am probably going to switch my focus to.

Im glad Kendrick is gone. Wish the Motor City Machine Guns would leave TNA. I'd get more enjoyment out of seeing them at the local indy shows and in other bigger Indys.
-
I'd love to see an Austin vs. Punk feud.
Me too! That would be my dream match right there but I don't think it will happen. I will try to remain optimistic about it though.
-
I think the American audience is more jaded through over-saturation.
I think over stimulation is one of the reasons for sure. The feuds promos don't really seem as good these days.
Is it just me or were wrestlers much better at promos in the late 90s? WWE and WCW had a hand full of guys each who could cut good promos.
It seems like the art of the promo is dieing off some. Maybe it is just my perception.
-
I've been saying since WM last year that The Rock didn't deserve to be in the main event of WM this year. That he is nothing but a sell out. And I am SO glad that Cena brings up constantly the fact that The Crock said he was never going to leave again and then left again.
I was a big fan of The Rock back in the late 90's back when his passion was for wrestling and not for paychecks. He WAS in fact the best promo guy in the business. However, the business has changed. The Rock doing the same type of promos he did back then (catch phrase, crowd pop, catch phrase, crowd pop, etc) doesn't fit in anymore. Today's WWE superstars do promos that are much better written now. The Rock is just too cartoony.
And it doesn't help that he is just going to leave again after WM. Why should I give a crap about whether he wins or loses against Cena?
What is wrong with a guy wanting to make more money? Everybody wants more money. I know I want my boss to give me more money and I'd leave for more money if I had the chance.
We don't know that he went to movies for the money. Maybe he went for the lighter schedule.
Also the Rock had made more appearances on RAW in the last year than Undertaker, and maybe about the same as HHH. So are Undertaker and HHH sell outs?
The last thing I am going to say is I loved how the Portland crowd got loud for the Rock. Crowds don't pop like that usually anymore. In the late 90s and early 2000's they did a lot! That is what I think I miss most about back then.
-
Honestly, I thought Jericho sounded better between the two... don't know where The Rock fits in there. The Rock sounded spectacular (at least to me).
I feel the same way. The Rock was typical Rock. That means he was still great. Best promo man in the business.
-
CM Punk stuttered more than the Rock on RAW. Was that Jericho making him fumble his words too?
CM Punk in my opinion didn't really one up the Rock except for the notes on his arm thing. That was a nice dig that I never noticed before.
-
Umm.. they have been letting Cena work his own promos. For years. When Orton stepped up and talked against The Rock, he said just that. Cena has been ad-libbing for years, most of what you see is from him. And I find the "Cena Sucks" comparison with Rocky Maivia to be a bit trite - the latter was only a matter of weeks/months, and on a much smaller scale. The Cena Sucks thing has been going on for years, and there's next to nothing that's changed it. They've had Cena go up against guys like Kevin Federline and unlikeable heels like Khali to get the fans to cheer him again, which they do.. once that's over with it's right back to the booing. Only now could there possibly be a shift in balance, but it's been more or less heavy on Cena's side. Though to note overall, I see what you mean when you make the comparison.
There's a few things to be re-checked here. First, the crowd will hate it? Do you remember where the show is being held? It's Rock's hometown. I think the rest goes without saying.
Two, you're giving way too much importance to the result. I think a lot of people do, and it leads them astray. There's not gonna be any "big dent" in anything. And I don't think it thoroughly matters who gets or doesn't get won over. If Cena wins.. Cena wins. Rock isn't gonna look any worse than he does. He can still return mere months later and look like King S**t. Because it's Cena we're talking about, not Kofi Kingston. If Rock wins, a lot of people are gonna go home happy, that's it. In fact, it might really be 50/50 depending on what Rock's stance will be during this culminating angle.
A loss for either guy won't matter. If Cena loses to the Rock then he lost to a guy who came in 100% and was one of the most over wrestlers of all time. If Rock loses to Cena it's because he was rusty. Both guys have a cop out and can demand a rematch basically.
A win for either won't elevate them and a loss for either won't bring them down either. It's a wash. This match is about making money and I think they will make more than on any other Wrestlemania.
Personally I want Rock to win. I think he might win too. I could see it going either way really.
-
I think the Rock is doing what we all want him to do.
It is funny though how Undertaker can work 1 match a year and get so much praise and respect but when Rock comes back now and works periodically for WWE thru the year he gets crapped on by some of those same people.
Rock is great for the WWE. He is good for business and that is exactly what the WWE is a business. All they care about is the money. Sorry but it's true.

I wouldn't say Hogan was a failed actor. He was pretty popular for awhile there and made some feature films. Also, he was an still is a household name. Largely because of his post-wrestling stuff.
I'm not saying he is in any way, shape, or form a more successful wrestler-turned-actor than the Rock. But he definitely wasn't a "failure" by any stretch in my opinion.
Plus don't forget NO HOLDS BARRED!!! I loved that movie. Espescially when he rips the door off the car... sniff sniff... WHAT'S THAT SMELL?!?!?!
Dddddddddd Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukie!

The Rock's ego has been stated several times by John Cena, and no, I don't read dirt sheets. I just read this forum.
As far as The Rock doing the Ultimate Warrior crap, I didn't say he WOULD, I just said he COULD.
And I also said that I was happy for Dwayne Johnson for becoming a Hollywood star. Any wrestler would love that, making more money and not having to bump is a win/win situation.
What I meant was that, from a Wrestling Fan perspective, he "sold-out" on his fans. Maybe "sell-out" or "sold-out" is too harsh.
I dunno, ever since he left WWE, I have hated him for leaving, but I'm def. happy for him to make more money, everyone in the US dreams of such things.
(Sometimes, I just speak my personal mind, and a lot of the time, people will not like what I say, but thats my personal opinion)
The Rock didn't choose to just leave. The WWE forgot to attempt to renew his contract. It was when Vince was out because of his torn quads I think. Rock was upset they didn't even attempt to resign him until after his contract expired.
Either way I think Rock will win. He is scheduled to appear in more dates after Wrestlemania which is why I think he may win actually.
-
I've never heard of anyone disliking Rock in the business other than Sting. That was only for his asking Booker T (then WCW champ) who in the blue hell he was and then telling him it didn't matter who he was.
Rock has done jobs for Brock Lesnar (unlike Austin who refused and retired), Goldberg (why? cuz he was asked to), and Mankind (yeah the fat guy with a sock on his hand
).Rock is a true professional it seems to me.
-
With what he earns right now, i would say that wasn't the only reason he came back. Plus, at this point, Dwayne's name is already valuable. He's starring in blockbusters that pay him millions. When he's not starring in blockbusters, he's doing other finnancially solid parts. So...i know hios comeback must involve big money for him, of course, or he wouldn't do it...but let's face it: He had no need to comeback right now, risking his body (which is his provider) just to collect a paycheck that he's not desperate to collect right now. Maybe the man does love wrestling and misses it to the point of returning to do this. Sure he needed to be well paid to do so, but i still believe the love for the business had to do with it.
I think the Rock does love wrestling. Plus his fans have probably been asking him on a daily basis for 7 years to return.
I could see Rock beating Cena only to lose in a rematch at Summer Slam. That would set up the final blow off match for Mania next year where Cena would win.
Now that would be good for business. Get 3 big money PPVs out of the feud and possibly a dvd for the feud down the road.

As for ending the streak, Taker wanted Orton to end it at WM21 but Vince said no.
Things change, but the streak is an even bigger deal now so letting a guy who wrestles once a year end it won't happen.
I never knew that Taker wanted that to happen. Kind of crazy to think about.
I think that is a guy like Del Rio, Miz, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, or even Wade Barrett beat Taker then it could help their character. They could play on it every year around Mania saying they did what 20 other men couldn't. They ended the Undertaker. Plus for a couple months after they ended the streak they could use it as a major selling point for why they are the best! WWE would have to book them strong in that time though to solidify them in that spot at the top of the card.
Cena is solidified at the top right now. He could lose 12 ppvs in a row to major guys and people would still probably think he is the top guy in the WWE. To me ending the streak could put someone on this level if done right and I think it is very possible.
-
I just have this ugly feeling that HHH ends the streak...
I hope you are wrong as he is the last guy I want to see end the streak. That would be so terrible! It wouldn't help anyone involved.
-
From what I remember half the people who saw Mania loved the HHH vs Taker match last year. The other half thought it was over rated and just a finisher fest. Personally I thought it was very entertaining but I dunno. I am not a HHH or Taker fan really and I do find Undertaker a bit over rated. I also think HHH is a bit under rated. I am trying to take it for what it is but I'd like to see a younger guy push Taker to his limits. So it wouldn't damage Taker but would elevate the younger guy.
-
I think the last two might have ment "mega stars" kane and henrey were not mega stars at the time. they did not "carry the company" like taker and hhh did.
HHH didn't carry the WWE ever. Austin and Rock did during the Attitude Era. Then after the Attitude Era I'd say HHH was 1 of a few guys to "carry" the company during a ratings decline period. This is why they went PG because they were not making as much money due to ratings so they explored other avenues.
I'm pretty sure they're billing as the end of the pre-Attitude (it'd seem odd to call it New Generation, but y'know what i mean) era. 'Taker started wrestling in the 80s, and Triple H was on the Starrcade '94 card - these guys were around already, whereas the likes of Kane and Henry came a fair bit later on, more clearly Attitude stalwarts.Again Jericho, and Kane are pre Attitude Era guys too.
Undertaker has been using the same character for 10 years and only added a submission since then.
-
This really is shaping up to be a tremendous card, quadruple main event:
Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus - I can see it being a OK match, not too excited for it but I'm sure they'll do good. Really interesting that this was a dark match just 12 months ago, just goes to show what hard work does.
The Undertaker vs. Triple H - If it's HIAC I can see it being interesting, if not then I see it being the same as last year.
The Rock vs. John Cena - Really looking forward to this for a change, just hope Rock will do the job, if not I'm sure Cena is professional enough not to work stiff/half-heartedly.
CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho - I can see this being an epic. Need I say more.
Throw in a terrible Divas match, Shaq vs. Big Show and we might get a good show, really am interested to see what happens with Santino, Cody Rhodes and R-Truth between now and Mania.
I dunno if Shaq vs Big Show would be that good. Could Cody Rhodes be facing Big Show based on how Big Show got eliminated? Divas can be used in a dark match. Wouldn't mind Beth Phoenix vs Kharma at Mania though. Or Beth vs Natalya even.
I plan on ordering Wrestlemania for sure this year. Last year I paid $10 to watch it at a friends. This will be the 1st year in a long time I pay for it on my own.

I am excited for Mania because of the fact it is Wrestlemania.
The build just wasn't that good for me.
Rock and Cena was not a very exciting build that makes me want to see the match. I want to see the match because it is a dream match.
Jericho and Punk looks like a good match and the build was the best out of all the Mania matches I feel.
Sheamus and Bryan looks to be a good match. Sheamus seems to me like the least talked about Royal Rumble winner that I can remember.
Rhodes and Big Show was a good build and a match I am excited to see. Hoping Rhodes manages to walk out with the title still.
Dissappointed that Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio, and Christian aren't going to be on the show. MITB could have fixed Del Rio and Mysterio not being on the show. Could have gotten rid of the RAW vs SD match as well as I don't care about the GM storyline. Too much focus is put on the GMs on a regular basis anyways.
