The focus should be solely about Rock and Cena. Let's not could things with pointless 'creative' bullshit that would only be a detriment. Let's also not dilute, even more, the lure of Rock's return to singles action with yet another match that absolutely does not need to happen. KISS, kids, always remember that.

<p>SD got off to a weak start with all the Xmas crap.</p><p> </p><p>

Highlights: Orton decimating Otunga in a street fight. The fun Battle Royale (heels working together and Sheamus v Hornswoggle). The Steel Cage match (though I wish they'd get rid of the door escape). Midcarders like Gabriel, Mahal and Kidd given much needed screen time.</p>

The street fight had me laughing a couple of times, most notably with the "Where are you going!?" present toss. Orton couldn't even keep a straight face after that one. It may not have kept with the whole viper character, but it was just a holiday theme episode aside from the main event, so I don't mind at all.

I think at this point they should just give up on shoving Brodus Clay down our throats. It may have worked if he debuted a month ago when it was initially announced but now he's just a joke. Unless he comes out and totally annihilates Cena in 2 minutes to the point where Cena is stretchered out the debut will never live up to all of this hype and he will disappear in far less time than it took him to appear.

Honestly, though, I enjoyed the hell out of Clay's squash matches on Superstars. Dude looked like an absolute monster.

 

I've never seen a match of his but the videos they were playing actually had me excited for his debut. I thought he'd be a killer character similar to Umaga back in the day. But now I'm bored with him and he hasn't even debuted yet. They killed the momentum he had built up through Superstars and his videos on RAW.

I have one thing to say to masked kane: Why?

 

As Mick Foley recently demonstrated, most wrestling fans' nostalgia for all things "Attitude Era" can die pretty quick. I mean, I have no real problem with a masked kane. But I also don't think it makes any sense. In fact, it harkens back to a cheesier time with a silly gimmick involving Undertaker's brother that was so horribly burnt all over his entire body that he needed to be fully covered at all times. It was cheesy and dumb and so bad they scrapped it all together and Kane rose to enormous heights without the extra nonsense.

 

I like Glen Jacobs' work and will be excited to see him back regardless. I'm just not all that amped up about the mask comming back. Especially if it's going to be dumb and more back to the unrealistic supernatural Kane.

this here makes you seem like you are just trying to be holier than thou.

 

 

I think a masked Kane is a brilliant idea, in that who knows if its a bad idea. Why do so many wrestling fans approach every possible anything with a sense of negativity? Even's Punk's great storyline in the summer had people saying "this will get screwed up, so lets crap on it now."

 

Wrestling has to be one of the few things that people consistently complain about creative decisions. I see it kind of happening with other things now as well, but no one watches House and says "they're going to ball this up, screw it, they all suck... They should replace Hugh Laurie with a younger actor with more charisma and a more unique look."

 

Take it for what it is. I'm sure it will either work, or not. Dont judge crap now that hasnt even been confirmed as to happening.
