Oh my god, Oh my god, OH MY GAWD!

 

Big News! John Cena is coming back early to face Alberto Del Rio at Hell in the Cell for the World Heavyweight Championship!......Ik, I don't REALLY believe that this is happening, cause Cena's elbow is.............damn it's screwed, but if it does...........So let it be.

I see this as a potentially good thing. I'd rather have Cena with the WHC than Del Rio and it gets Cena away from the DB/Show/Corporation angle.

Kingston vs Wyatt: I'm going to be totally honest with everyone and say I still have no clue what in the heck the Wyatt family is supposed to represent exactly. Slow start with the crowd, a little more technical wrestling than I was expecting, and I imagine that was how the crowd was feeling as well. Good (and smart) that it started like that, after that last match, that might be MOTN (writing as I watch, so far definitely is). If nothing else, Kofi come off looking pretty good, even got a small "ECW" chant going. Better match then I expected honestly. ***

 

 

I don't know if they will ever come out and say it but from what i see is they are a cult. A backwood's cult. Bray is the "leader" and the other two are the followers. Unless you mean something other then you no clue what the wyatt family is and i just explained something you already knew lol.

<p><strong>Battleground PPV:</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>RVD vs Del Rio (Hardcore WHC Title)</strong> - Decent attempt at a PG hardcore match but I think they should have done more crazy stuff and not played it so safe.</p><p>

<strong>Khali & Santino vs Real Americans</strong> - Decent filler match with an awesome Cesaro Swing on Khali.</p><p>

<strong>Axel vs Truth (IC Title)</strong> - Hard-hitting match that was better than expected, at least until Axel's weak-looking finisher.</p><p>

<strong>Brie vs AJ (Divas Title)</strong> - NXT quality women's match. I was surprised AJ retained.</p><p>

<strong>The Shield vs Rhodes Family</strong> - Good match. I marked out when Cody got the pin with a wicked Cross-Rhodes.</p><p>

<strong>Kofi vs Wyatt</strong> - Started sloppy but turned into a fun match. Kofi pulled out a nice modified SOS. Bray's spider walk was creepy.</p><p>

<strong>Ryback vs Punk</strong> - Solid match but nothing we haven't seen before from either man. Punk won with a bully move to set up a rematch at HIAC. I feel like this match suffered from being the first in their feud. Punk's match against Lesnar was better.</p><p>

<strong>Orton vs Bryan (WWE Title)</strong> - Good match. Using Big Show to leave the title vacant heading into HIAC was smart.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Verdict:</span></strong> While none of the matches were bad it was almost another throwaway PPV like NOC. The main event and the Rhodes Family made it above average for a 2013 PPV. They really need to make sure HIAC and Survivor Series are closer to SummerSlam in quality.</p><p> </p><p>

Hopefully it's a step towards unifying the belts. There's just no reason for the WHC title if Smackdown is just Raw Jr. where they do previews of next week's Raw midcard matches, but with editing. It's essentially been the equivalent of the IC title pre-brand split, with workrate guys and lower level main eventers holding it since Undertaker retired and the brand split ended.

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Raw (aka Battleground Part 2) Review:</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Steph & Big Show</strong> - Funny segment. "Breaking Big Show" sign!</p><p>

<strong>Ziggler vs Sandow</strong> - Haven't watched their PPV match yet but Sandow was impressive in this one despite the loss. They should build him up before he cashes in, instead of copying what they did with Ziggler.</p><p>

<strong>Los Matadores vs 3MB</strong> - Weakest match yet for the matadors. El Torito is growing on me.</p><p>

<strong>Punk & Truth vs Ryback & Axel</strong> - Solid match.</p><p>

<strong>Kofi vs Orton</strong> - Good match.</p><p>

<strong>Del Rio vs Ricardo</strong> - A proper match would have been nice. But it was worth it see ADR's face at the mention of Cena and his attack on Ricardo.</p><p>

<strong>Ryder vs Fandango</strong> - OK filler match.</p><p>

<strong>Real Americans vs Santino & Khali</strong> - The matches have been entertaining but this feud is getting stale now.</p><p>

<strong>The Shield vs Bryan & The Rhodes</strong> - Good match. I marked out when Big Show KO'd Trips!</p><p> </p><p>

<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Verdict:</strong></span> Essentially Part 2 of the PPV (something WWE are doing deliberately outside of their main PPVs). Enjoyable enough episode, though.</p>

/nod, I got that part. I should have worded it better. I just tried to, scrapped it because I was basically saying exactly what I did last time.

 

I got that they are "cultish" backwoods type, people that you would expect to own chainsaws for more then just cutting up wood. I get that's why they are called "Family", etc.

 

I'm trying to figure out what message they are actually trying to send though. Specifically, their "Follow the buzzards" "Devour of Worlds" "No such thing as a hero" "I've been here all along" type stuff.

 

It's very entertaining, but when it all 'comes out', I can't help but to think this one is going to be a let down.... I think they are doing well, don't get me wrong at all. Just the build-up is making me anticipating something far more greater then the intellectual side of me thinks they can do.

Well I have read that the character was based on Robert De Niro's version of Max Cady from Cape Fear. Though I really do not get that vibe from the character at all, granted it has been such a long time since I saw either the De Niro or the Robert Mitchum version of the film so I am not sure how close he is to Max Cady (I do remember I liked the Robert Mitchum version better but if you were to ask me why I have no idea.).

 

Anyway, I feel as if he is making the character more like Charlie Manson. If you have ever had the chance to watch an interview with Charlie Manson you will see what I mean and if you have not I would say check out Mike Wallace's interview of Manson back in the early 90's. Manson basically spoke a ton of gibberish and threw out lines like (I am paraphrasing here)....

 

"I'm in the trees."

 

"I'm in your children's minds."

 

Nonsensical stuff like that which would be more in line with the way the Wyatt character is going.

All the stuff Wyatt says is really supposed to be kind of a cult leader's ramblings, not necessarily a real sign that he's possessed by some kind of entity or whatever. But at the same time, if WWE came out and said "oh, he's a fraud and a con artist," it would kind of lose its luster. It's far better if Wyatt really believes he's some kind of truth-teller, even if he just goes out there and rambles about how there aren't any heroes.</p><p> </p><p> Also, Waylon Mercy is the true Max Cady homage! "Lives... are gonna be in Waylon Mercy's hands. Know what I mean?" I loved that gimmick and wish it had been the next Goldust.</p><p> </p><p> The best thing about the Cape Fear remake is the Sideshow Bob episode of the Simpsons it inspired. De Niro gets too caught up in the physical side of being "scary." Mitchum's performance is far stronger, but at this point Bray Wyatt is as much "Night of the Hunter" Mitchum as "Cape Fear" Mitchum, and has definitely gone off and started doing his own thing with the gimmick.</p>

[ThatChizzle]

<p>I think Bray Wyatt is kind of a mixture, lil bit Cape Fear, some Manson, and after the spiderwalk at BattleGround, The Exorcist.</p><p>

I got a lil about him being possesed when he was talking to Kane with the line "You call yourself the Devils Favorite Demon, you should watch out who you say that to people, cause you never know who's listening"</p><p> </p><p>

heh could be wrong lol</p><p> </p><p>

[alden]

I don't know it they really mean anything also other then the ramblings of a mad man. When ever his interviews come on they are incredibly hard for me to follow. It's not that i can't under stand what he is saying it's just what he is saying doesn't make sense to me. Its actually a good thing to me.

[TakerNGN74]

<p>I am real hot and cold when it comes to Goldberg only because he caused one of my favorite wrestlers ever to get a concussion and said wrestler had to retire from the ring before he should have because of it (Bret Hart). However I picked up Goldberg's DVD and I have been watching it and I've come to the conclusion that I would like to see him come back at Wrestlemania to work a match. </p><p> </p><p>

The main match I would really want to see at next years wrestlemania would be Undertaker vs. Sting, of course if Sting isn't able to do the match due to negotiations falling through my second choice for a match at Mania would be a match between Undertaker and Goldberg. I think either Taker vs. Sting or Goldberg vs. Taker could draw huge money for the company.</p><p> </p><p>

Either match could be a great send off for The Undertaker if he indeed decides to call it a career after Wrestlemania 30, plus both guys could provide a legitimate threat to the strreak something that I feel we haven't had in one of Undertaker's streak matches since WM 26 when he faced Michaels. (Some would debate Punk was probably a threat as well though which I wouldn't disagree with)</p>

[TheWrestlingMan]

I really don't think a Sting/Taker match would be watchable at this point Sting is in better ring shape than Taker but neither are really capable at putting on a classic without the right opponent, it would have been nice 5-10 years ago and would still be a good nostalgic feel to Mania but would be a decent match at best.

IF there is no such statement though, I will say I think it all stems from the old story he told when he "almost" signed with WWE/F, but changed his mind when he saw The Rock look at Booker T and say "Who are you?" Sting said that it instantly took away all credibility to Booker T, and Booker had to start all over again to get it back. He didn't want that to happen to him.

In other words, he's not looking to "Pass a Torch", but more like "Make A Star" type thing.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I hate to say it but I don't want to see Rock vs. Cena III there is no point in doing it other than to be a rubber match between the two at Wrestlemania. Their first match was above average at best their second was a lot better but I just dont want to see it again, not for a third year in a row.</p><p> </p><p> I agree though now I don't want to see the streak be broken, the only time that I can remember actually wanting it to end like I said earlier was when Michaels faced Taker at Wrestlemania 26.</p><p> </p><p> I have heard rumors that Taker wanted Orton to break the streak at Wrestlemania 21, I for one am glad that it didn't happen but now that Michaels didn't do it nobody should.</p>

<p>The Perfect Dream WrestleMania for me would be....</p><p> </p><p>

CM Punk vs Stone Cold Steve Austin</p><p> </p><p>

The Undertaker vs Sting (Streak vs Career)</p><p> </p><p>

Daniel Bryan vs Triple H for the WWE Championship.</p><p> </p><p>

Cody Rhodes vs Goldust for the WhC (Rhodes playing the face, Goldust playing the heel.)</p><p> </p><p>

The Shield vs John Cena, Randy Orton and Dolph Ziggler (And if The Shield loses, they dissolve........HOWEVER, If The Shield wins and John Cena is pinned, he will be FORCED to join the Shield.)</p><p> </p><p>

Ryback vs Goldberg (just so Ryback can have his WrestleMania moment)</p><p> </p><p>

The Kings of Wrestling vs The New Real Americans (Jack Swagger and Justin Gabriel)</p><p> </p><p>

Wade Barrett vs Sheamus</p><p> </p><p>

Kaitlyn vs A.J Lee vs Natalya for the Divas title.</p><p> </p><p>

Antonio Cesaro vs The Miz to unify the U.S and Intercontiental championships.</p><p> </p><p>

Pre-Show: 30 Man Battle Royal- Alberto Del Rio, Alex Riley, Big E., Fandango, Curtis Axel, William Regal, Yoshi Tatsu, (if he's around by then) The Wyatt Family (now with Kane), Santino Marella, Zack Ryder, The Great Khali, Drew McIntyre, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Mason Ryan, Evan Bourne, R-Truth, Vince McMahon, Brad Maddox, David Otunga, Kofi Kingston, Christian, Adrian Neville, Bo Dallas, Richie Steamboat, Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio.</p><p> </p><p>

Now some of them might be a little overbearing, but if so, I understand. Not everyone will like these kinds of matches.</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">NXT Review:</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Kruger vs Cesaro</strong> - Heel vs heel? "Push Cesaro" chants! Good match but the pace was too slow until the last 5 minutes. Did a good job of putting over Kruger's resilience despite losing.</p><p>

<strong>Charlotte vs Santana</strong> - Flair's daughter picked up a clean win despite Summer & Sasha's presence ringside. Paige attacked them after the match. A-Ri, Phillips & Renee make a good announce trio.</p><p>

<strong>Burch vs Mojo Rawley</strong> - Debutant Mojo lived up to his "Stay Hyped" gimmick but he has a bland look. Mojo won but not before Burch got in a lot of offense.</p><p>

<strong>Dawson & Rusev vs Amore & Big Cas</strong> - The Fighting Legionnaires beat the crowd favorites in a short match.</p><p>

<strong>Zayn & Dallas</strong> - Un-BO-lievably good backstage segment.</p><p>

<strong>English vs RVD (w/ Ricardo)</strong> - English's best entrance song yet. Fun match that could have been a few minutes longer.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Verdict:</span></strong> Solid show.</p>
