Bill, I would recommend you DVR Raw and SD. There have been too many good matches to just willingly skip out.

Being there live, I was pissed off because i expected it to be a workrate match similar to Punk-Orton. The reaction of the crowd post-match was amazing to experience so I quickly focused on the crowd reactions instead of the actual match result.

A more reasonable comparison is the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame which poses the same type of inconsistency and WTF reactions as the WWE Hall.

That is a great point. I actually had that in my notes but forgot to mention it.

We mention it on the show but they really fucked up having Booker T playing FIP for such a long time on the Team Teddy side. We question if Maria Menunos shit her pants. The Punk-Jericho debate centers around the "Drunk Punk" angle. I thought it was a stupid thing to center the feud on. Being there live, Bryan-Sheamus was a huge mistake.

I think they are inducting Jake and Hall this year because they have both been reported as sober. If and when they induct the NWO, if Hall falls off the wagon, they can induct them without Hall actually appearing but still be in the group being inducted. You have Hogan, Nash and Syxx on stage, drop some Hall references like they did on TV and move on. Next year, I can see Mabel/Viscera being inducted posthumously. He was with the company on and off for 15 years.

I don't think it goes smoothly at all. Talking to shoe the other night,.we both agreed that Mania isn't the right PPV to have as a test run.

What's fucked up Timbo is that I thought you were correct with your math. I had no idea you were off by almost a billion dollars.

The biggest problem with splitting the Rhodes is that both guys work better as faces. Cody is really good at cleaning house and Goldust is really good at building to the hot tag.

Where are these 8 million wrestling fans you speak of?

I don't think so. Losing to the Suck Ass Outlaws and not giving them a storyline has really killed their momentum. I have no doubt a Goldust face in peril segment would get the crowd on their side but the Usos have that high risk energetic offense that gets over in large stadiums.

This may be the greatest movie ever made.

It hasn't been reported but I can see HHH announcing HBK as guest ref on Monday as the final wrench in his evil plan. It may be too late to lay that on the crowd but it would work easily.

I don't think you can say he turned the KKK babyface. That is more like a heel vs. heel matchup.

Nah, if it wasn't Orton and Batista the backlash reactions for Bryan wouldn't be as heated. Number one, Orton and Bryan work together amazingly and have killer matches, and number two, Batista getting the reactions he got and the whole Evolution deal have a big effect. "Basically anyone else"? Nah. Bryan being the new hero of the fans and new top guy is totally dependent on the idea that it's HHH and "his guys" are his adversaries. You know ....like it was maybe planned this way. Well, I could believe that. Or I could believe all evidence out there. I mean, unless they decided to book the main event scene badly for most of the fall and winter to set up Wrestlemania. This. WWE got hit with a Bootista sledgehammer. There was no way in hell they "planned" the reception he got at Rumble or Chamber.

You should have had Continental expert KrisZ as a guest.

The way Rollins keeps stealing the show, they are setting themselves up for another year of rebellious crowds if they try and turn him back into a heel and it will only hurt the Reigns push.

As long as they lose in about 48 seconds after a Spear, Piece of Mind, Nigel Lariat and a triple triple powerbomb then it will be fine.

Heh, maybe DDP will be there to babysit. DDP is inducting Jake so I think it is a guarantee he is babysitting.

If they stay sober then this guy deserves to go in the Hall next year....

LL has been calling himself Uncle L since at least 89. Jingling Baby was released on the Walking With The Panther album has a line where he says Uncle L, future of the funk. Great stuff from Mookie and John looking at the next WWE TV deal! I have his greatest hits CD. By 1989, I was moving on and listening to Too Short and Eazy E.

Current WWE thread... http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/18073-current-wwe/

OK, it feels like the Comments thread is becoming a current WWE thread and this is becoming a comments thread. Lets get this back on track. Harper is freaking great in this match against Cena just doing the little things. Biting the ropes after nearfalls, putting his leg on Cena's shoulder in a pin, poking the eyes to get out of the STF. Even the announcers were putting over how awesome Harper has been in this match. The ending was cool as hell but I wanted the match to go another 5-10 minutes.
