    Well, i don't know why anyone speaks poorly of the WWE booking. A few years ago we would be saying who would win what match, and now, no one seems to be sure. I'm just saying...if it generates this much discussion between us, the smarts, imagine between the marks. So, whoever wins, it's money in the bank.

     

    I LIKE the current booking, for the most part. I am a wrestling fan again, right now. There's a few things I'm not fond of, like Trips deciding to rub his own ego more, but for the most part, very happy to be a wrestling fan.

    He's already signed on for the next Wrestlemania. [citation needed] Storyline wise... there's a few ways. Ramp up Cena's edge to the point where it's obvious he's better then he was before, making Rock's victory over a 'emotionally weakened' Cena suspect. AKA Cena at 100% would dominate Rock. Other way is use a dusty finish, or even have Cena snap after losing, beating Rock down in Miami. Then he comes out on RAW and still plays the face, albeit one who made a big mistake. Shades of gray type stuff.

     

    Or just have Cena challenge him to a rematch and put something big on the line to hook him in. Cena losses he retires or something.

     

    Ryder will cost Cena the match against Rock in Miami.

     

    Just saying. Cena, job cleanly? Nah.

    I'd love an explanation of what you mean by that.

     

    Wade came in running, and immediately hit the Cena wall. A wall he will never recover from. He'll always be the man who, with an army of SEVEN, accomplished nothing. Even when they beat the hell out of John Cena, he gave a thumbs up to the fans to completely screw the whole attack up and make no one give a crap because, hey, John'll be back next week at 100%.

     

    Any chance Wade had at ever being _anything_, died with that thumb going up. Everything after just further destroyed any chance at a great career.

    The way they've used Sheamus as of late has indeed made him look massively underwhelming, you would think if he's the Rumble winner AND going for the B-show's major title, they'd at least try to spice it up a bit. Instead they expect us to still care about the Big Show, well... suit themselves, I say.

     

    I sort of kept thinking Taker should've faced someone else 'till now, but honestly.. HIAC, it sells itself. I never thought they'd jump that hurdle but.. heck. On a rare occasion, I went on twitter the other day while HIAC was trending and from the way it looks, it's gonna get a lot of viewers, casual or defunct, sucked in. It's not even about the streak or Taker's opponent anymore to them, it's all about that structure and the fact both of them are pioneers of that match type.

     

    Yeah, but a far over the hill wrestle once a year Undertaker vs. a past his prime wrestle twice a year Triple H in a PG Heck In A Cell match, isn't gonna be what people are envisioning. Brutality is gone. The cell means nothing. Big cage. Big whoop.

    Pretty sure if Undertaker won the rumble I wouldn't watch Wrestlemania at all. I'm pretty happy Sheamus won. I'm glad a fresh faced bad ass won the rumble.

     

    Also, I noticed something while watching Elimination Chamber. Del Rio would make a great face. He has the charisma and the mic skills. He could easily turn the cockiness into cheers I think.

     

    Sheamus isn't bad ass though.The most he's accomplished since running away from a bunch of jobbers like a pansy, was winning the rumble. Otherwise, he's been beating up a jobber and was Mark Henry's punching bag to use to get over.

     

    How exactly is Sheamus in ANY way, a credible challenger for a world title, at Wrestle Mania? Any other PPV, fine. All the Bryan build up, to Sheamus, at Mania? Stupid.

    That actually says it all. One match had mixed reviews from the "buyers" (us), so they should have sticked by that. Doing a 2nd is absurd. I'm with you on the younger guy thing. Having a Taker vs. Daniel Bryan would be much more entertaining for me, and much better when it comes to actuall in ring work. Just an example.

     

    Since I saw this, I'll throw on my gripes about the situation, because this is the match I was calling for. Daniel Bryan beat The Big Show, Mark Henry, both of them together in a cage match, took out Orton, beat Sheamus by DQ, survived the f'n Elimination Chamber, and the great threat at the end of the road is....

     

    Sheamus, Jinder Mahal's curtain jerking buddy.

     

    Who cares? Anyone? Does anyone, anywhere in the world, think Sheamus is more of a challenge than the Elimination Chamber? This is a serious downgrade, and when Bryan does the job it's gonna look really stupid.

     

    Taker should've won the rumble, and been in Sheamus' spot post chamber match, without the contact. The very idea that Taker chose Bryan for Mania would have EVERYONE mocking Bryan all the way through to Mania. Taker would need to put in absolutely zero work for this to go over huge.

     

    I can't even begin to imagine the celebration from Bryan if he managed to win, but that'd be the last time anyone could ever call him a joke champion. Something he still needs.

    Let's say this is how it goes, but for the sake of debate here... let's say both of them win in their respective goals (Punk and Cena).

     

    In my opinion, right now Nash > WWE Title. To me, Punks in the best feud (if that's how they go with it). To most of the audience, they are going to be alot more curious about Kevin Nash vs. Punk, then Cena vs. Alberto. No one is going to care if Nash can go or not, and no one is going to care who is doing the carrying, outside of us and the IWC.

     

    To the majority, it's going to look like Punk has the tougher competition here.

     

    Yea.

     

    Some old useless bum with a bad leg > the WWE Champion.:rolleyes:

    Your such a "The glass is half empty" type, aren't you?:p

     

    On RAW, Nash had security to protect himself specifically from Punk... Made him look scared of Punk to be honest. Punks getting more "Pipe Bomb" time then anyone right now.

     

    The glass is far below half empty.

     

    WWE finally has a story where I'm intrigued and don't know what's going to happen, and they manage to screw it up entirely and put the spotlight on a feud we've seen 400 times, while the most talked about guy on the roster gives Trip's buddy some air time.

     

    Let's not forget Punk gets to carry Nash, while Cena, the LOSER, gets the run with Alberto.

    I find it ironic that Arrows loves CM Punk and Chikara, since Punk loathes Chikara.

     

    There some "You must feel exactly the same way" rule I haven't seen before?

     

    Chikara's light hearted and fun for the family, while still providing glimpses of some solid wrestling. Been to the only show they've held close to where I live and loved it. Already got my front row seat for when they come back.

    Alot of what you say emulates the IWC (the smarky guys). Just seems to me you think alot like them, and so when the time comes that Punk begins to bore you, and someone new has your interest, would only make sense that you would change up (as they will).

     

    I honestly couldn't tell you the IWC's opinions. I quit reading sites aside from here about a year and a half ago. I'm just baffled by booking these days, which extends to TNA and ROH.

     

    The only place I follow at all that I can't really complain about is Chikara, and even the start of the BDK breakup makes me sad there, though all good things must come to an end.

     

    I just really hoped Punk would see a good legit title run from this. It was a good story. It's a shame his run got cut off at the legs after a month, especially since we know once John gets number 12 he's holding it until at least Mania.

     

    I'm emotionally invested in Punk more so than anyone else in the wrestling business.
