Daniel Bryan's WWE work has been probably a good 80% getting beaten up and I remember a bunch of cool things about his matches. While Kofi is maybe the most obvious offender in my mind, a lot of the current WWE crew who aren't second generation or got their start somewhere else (ROH for example) seem like they have taken the "less is more" mantra to heart so much that they are in competition to do as little as possible until the announcer is all "trouble in paradise" and it's like oh wow, it's over ... What the heck just happened? Or maybe I just have the worst attention span in history but either way, this is weird.</p><p> </p><p> Oh and I am with you Self, sod the haters. Sheffield is the muscle with hustle and a bunch of other things that rhyme. I would rather watch him than pretty much anyone besides Bryan, Punk, Jericho and Husky Harris.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be really cool if he came back gunning for Nexus. On his return, I'd let him team up with the likes of Orton & Cena for a few weeks. One week he teams with Cena, the next with Orton then both in a 6 man tag-match. Would help get him over and would work well with his Nexus past.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 <p>From what I heard, Miz/Morrison was worth a look, so I watched the beginning of RAW for the first time in a long while. I'm not a fan of Punk leading Nexus, but that opening recap video gave me a little chill, so maybe there's something there. As did Justin Gabriel's beard.</p><p> </p><p> Onto the match... It was okay. I was into it up until the knee to Riley. Good move, took him out, and the facial expressions afterwards, with Miz looking terrified, and Morrison glaring at him with wild hair and beard... Fantastic way to go into an ad break. I couldn't wait for this bad ass John Morrison to start beating the hell out of Miz, who desperately flees through the crowd, trying to find somewhere he can hide from this madman. Sadly, I didn't get that. We returned to see Morrison playing babyface in peril, which was fine, but I was bummed that the wild bad ass was gone. I'd love to see that guy as world champ.</p><p> </p><p> The rest of the match I was struck by how major this should have been. Miz & Morrison. Former best friends divided by fate, their lives taking vastly different paths, now pitted against each other, battling all of the arena for the gold. It felt fairly major here, but could have been an awesome title match for the Rumble. </p><p> </p><p> Still, good match. 3-stars on my wonky star-o-meter. Even though I knew Miz was going to win, I did get the odd chill when Morrison would make a cover. I've been a mark for him so long I had moments of "what if this was it? What if this was his moment?". Flights of fancy that made my heart smile. I haven't felt like that since Jeff Hardy feuded with Triple H a few years ago. It felt good.</p><p> </p><p> Didn't watch the rest of the show.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOnu Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 That's a shame Self, you missed that awesome new backstage interviewer. He looked so out of place, that was so funny. Then again, interviewing Randy Orton tends to do that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, interviewing Randy Orton tends to do that anyway. I've lost all interest in Orton now. I do have to admit though that his "serious look" does make me laugh because it looks like he is trying to divide 3747 by 43 in his head and is just getting frustrated with the whole thing.

milamber Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Skip Sheffield was more menacing than any other Nexus member bar Barrett, and he has the Clothesline from Hell. I hope they give him a good heel push. Funnily enough he was a complete p***y on NXT and I didnt like him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKenwyne Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 So, how 'bout that episode of Smackdown last night? Quite the barnburner (minus the divas match) IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Finally a Smackdown that was as epic as some of the recent Raws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostDogg Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Gabriel is turning face... I bet my "SCREEN NAME" on it. I can see where this is going. They are going to make a NWO/Raven's Nest type stable, where CM Punk will be in charge...and will have McGuillicutty, Harris, Heath, Otunga, and they will probably fued with Cena, Barrett (face turn), Gabriel, possibly Undertaker and......EVAN BORNE!! But thats how I would book it if it was me. Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha Black Phenom Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 This Raw has been mental. Same for last SmackDown!. Seems strange it had to take the new year to lit a fire under their ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostDogg Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I understand that.. and lets play "Which One of these things is ALIKE!!??" Stone Cold Raises his hands on the turnbuckle/ Randy Orton raises his hands on the turnbuckle.... Stone Cold with the lunatic look when delivering a Lou Thez Press/ Randy Orton when delivering a Power Slam Stone Cold doing mudhole stompings in the corner..../ Randy Orton doing....AWWW HELL you get the point...

juggaloninjalee Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The crowd pops for Randy Orton. He obviously has charisma. Bad acting... I think so but the majority of wrestling fans seem to get behind Orton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 There needs to be more talk about CM Punk and the greatest thing of 2011 so far. The guy was pure gold last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
