February 14, 201114 yr comment_5464468 God I hope it isn't HHH v. Taker. Small price to pay if it's the end of his wrestling career. I always thought I would be excited for this day too, but he can do a lot more damage running the company than he can as a wrestler. I'm really scared of Vince retiring with this succession plan in place. But I don't know what Vince could possibly do with his free time if he retires, seems like he would go nuts.

February 14, 201114 yr comment_5464483 They do a Money in the Bank PPV, a Hell in a Cell PPV and an Elimination Chamber PPV?Yes and a Tables, Ladders & Chairs Pay-Per-View. I'm not really sure what they were trying to accomplish. They got rid of King of the Ring, they got rid of Survivor Series (or wanted to) but they keep making gimmick shows, so I'm not sure what the point is. Way to make these gimmick matches not special at all.

But Vince is already nuts! I honestly don't know whether Vince's negatives outweigh his positives at this point and him having less input wouldn't be a bad thing. Apparently the few TV tapings Hunter has run were a much less stressful environment to work in. He certainly has more appreciation of the history of the business than the alternatives who could have come to power. I think it's also a good sign that he's willing to step aside from his wrestling career, unlike so many other bookers/owners who clung on for far too long.
February 14, 201114 yr comment_5464491 WWE Hall of Fame announcer Jerry Lawler's mother, Hazel Lawler, died on Sunday evening. She had suffered from Alzheimer's disease for the past six years and her condition began to rapidly decline over the past month. Funeral arrangements will be made today for a ceremony scheduled for Wednesday at Family Funeral Care in Memphis located at 4923 Summer Avenue. Lawler is scheduled to be in Anaheim, Calif. on Monday for the live Raw TV taping leading to Sunday's Elimination Chamber PPV. Lawler will be challenging WWE champion The Miz for the WWE Title at the PPV. Poor Jerry

February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464530 Alberto was pushed because they need a new star for the Hispanic audience since they don't think Rey (or his knees) are too long for the WWE Universe.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464534 Alberto was pushed because they need a new star for the Hispanic audience since they don't think Rey (or his knees) are too long for the WWE Universe. Also, he's pushed because Rey is difficult to work with (complaining about pay, refusing to do jobs, wanting more time off) and they want to replace him as the top Hispanic star with someone who'll be easier for them to handle.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464536 Holy shit @ at the pop Rock got tonight, that was right up there with Jericho's debut and Austin coming out to help Foley win the title.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464538 Who has Rey refused to job to? Apparently, Rey vetoed losing the IC title to Dolph Ziggler, but that was after WWE promised him a long reign with the IC title. Shortly after, he was suspended for a Wellness violation.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464540 Oh wow, Rock-Cena for WM? I think this show just got saved. I wasn't sure that's what he was saying -- he made that remark about how he'll see Cena -- and then sort of backpedaled and said, "just like I'll see everyone else" Though who knows.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464541 Certainly teasing Cena-Rock and not delivering would be a bunch of crap, but I don't see it happening. Dave made a comment on Saturday's Observer Radio that Michael Cole's match would be the most important on the show --which seemed ridiculous to me because how could Lawler vs Cole be a main event-- but if he means Rock vs Cole, then I understand. Sort of.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464542 I don't think he'll be wrestling. But they'll probably hype up a "confrontation" with the two, which is the biggest money thing they can do with Rock not wanting to wrestle. So yeah, I don't have anymore doubts about whether I should head to Mania, can't wait.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464545 I'm amazed how my Twitter and Facebook lit up from even the most casual of wrestling fans.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464548 It was quite a thing to watch him back. It's palpable that he really missed the jolt he got from being The Rock. And he definitely made the most of it tonight. If that translates in Atlanta, my hope is that it brings the entire card up a notch.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464559 When he said that The Rock is back and not leaving, I marked out, I won't lie. In one promo, he managed to shit all over Cole and the terrible G.M. angle plus make Cena & Miz look like jokes. You can't teach that shit. The fake out with the female legs was awesome.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464561 I'm probably reading more into it than intentioned, but the new remix of his theme and titan tron sure reminded me of "Hollywood Rock".
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464562 In one promo, he managed to shit all over Cole and the terrible G.M. angle plus make Cena & Miz look like jokes. You can't teach that shit. Not that I didn't love The Rock and everything tonight, but...are we sure this is a good thing? Cena and Miz are going to be the guys left to carry the ball after The Rock leaves again at Wrestlemania. If they look like jokes, that makes WWE post-Wrestlemania a joke, too.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464564 Tell me if I'm wrong, but thus far the two most important things at WM seems to be The Rock showing up and 61 year old Jerry lawler vs anouncer Michael Cole. Wow.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464565 The with no build/what about the buyrates look at me Bryan and Dave police on F4W make me what to go on rampage this morning.
February 15, 201114 yr comment_5464570 When he said that The Rock is back and not leaving, I marked out, I won't lie. In one promo, he managed to shit all over Cole and the terrible G.M. angle plus make Cena & Miz look like jokes. You can't teach that shit. I didn't see the show and haven't watch regularly in several years but why would you want to 'teach that shit'? Especially the part about Cena, who unless I am misinformed, is the biggest star in the company. If the Rock is willing to wrestle the Rock putting over Cena at Wrestlemania could be huge if done correctly. Even if the Rock isn't willing to wrestle he could still be used to elevate Cena by coming in and cutting a promo about 'how all he hears about in wrestling anymore is John Cena' or 'how he has noticed Cena dominating the WWE', etc. (and I am sure Rock or someone in the company could come up with much better stuff than those examples.) But coming in and shitting all over the angles and the WWE's biggest star and then leaving in two months is incredibly short sighted, IMO.
