No big time feud ever featured Kane.

I thought the one that was different was Cena 'cause the rest were jobbers.

Why? It's not like the belt is changing on free TV. Nor should they act like it is going to. Paying to see title fights should be expected, in my opinion. Part of what devalued the titles, at least to me, was WCW & WWF giving away a bunch of stuff for free during the Monday Night Wars because they cared more about winning the ratings in a week instead of keeping their product strong. I agree that Brock was not around enough last year to be WWE Champion. He should have been, at the very least, at every other PPV. But I like him showing up sporadically, as it makes him feel like a bigger deal. If he was there every Monday to wrestle & the belt was with him each week, he would feel like everyone else on the roster: stagnant.

Maybe Bryan and Kane can continue their feud until Wrestlemania & have a buried alive match, where Daniel Bryan can literally be buried on the biggest show.

I freakin' loathe Kane. I think I've ranted about it before. The dude has sucked for 20 years. I don't care if he's "really safe" or a "company guy" or whatever the heck WWE is using to defend his push X or turn Y, he's just not entertaining. You can put him in a mask and have him set stuff on fire, or come out in a tie & talk like a politician, whatever, at some point the bell has to ring and he's a lumbering freakin' oaf. There's nothing special about him. He's slow, clumsy, awkward, I think he has to have the worst kayfabe timeline history of anyone in wrestling history...there's just nothing good about him. I wish he would go away. I wish he was gone ten years ago.

Can they just have some guys report to NXT and shoot from there?

Well, I could bank on [HHH Vs. Sting ][Cena Vs. Rusev] [Reigns Vs. Lesnar] & [seth Vs. Orton] for sure. Maybe we'll get a Money in the Bank Cash-In which could change things but I doubt it. I think WWE view Daniel Bryan as the odd man out at this point. His comeback match was on Smackdown. He lost on his RAW match to Bray. He looked like a jobber in the Rumble tonight.

I'm going to laugh really hard if WWE makes it Daniel Bryan Vs. Kane at Wrestlemania.

Predictions? Final Four: Rusev, Reigns, Bryan, Sheamus Rumble Winner: Bryan WWE Title: Brock

It's the year he had all the matches with Jerry Lynn on PPV though. And when ECW PPV was like available all over the country. Guilty as Charged - RVD Vs. Lance Storm Living Dangerously - RVD Vs. Jerry Lynn Hardcore Heaven - RVD Vs. Jerry Lynn Heatwave - RVD & Lynn Vs. Impact Players Anarchy Rules - RVD Vs. Balls Mahoney in the main event for some reason November to Remember - RVD Vs. Taz He literally wrestled and won on every PPV ECW had in that year. Van Dam broke his ankle in Jan' 00.

This, like the 411mania comments section, reminds me why I no longer look for wrestling opinions outside of this board. I still do because I have an abudance of free time & there's not a ton of activity here. However, yeah, there's always stuff like that which makes me roll my eyes or shake my head. You learn fairly quickly which places you disagree with the majority. Twitter being one of them. :-)

Well, 'Taker beat Giant Gonzales by DQ in a match where Gonzales basically squashed him & stretcher jobbed him (though he came back after). I don't think they were thinking about an undefeated streak then. That was in '93. I think they kinda lucked into the Streak, honestly.

I feel the RR JTS a long time ago. The back-to-back wins, the double eliminations, Vince winning the whole damn thing, number 1 having as many wins as number 30, etc. RR is fun- but every year I grow less excited as I can pretty much predict the final 4 and winner. I want the RR to be completely random and have someone like Xavier Woods or Kofi or Fandango win. The RR needs a reset. I remember marking out during the 40-man Royal Rumble when the final two was Del Rio & Santino. I genuinely thought Santino might have a shot! I'm such a mark.

I would actually like if WWE got away from the "early guy lasts a real long time in the Rumble" for awhile. Kinda wish late draws were made a bigger deal. #30 winning as often as #1 seems silly to me in the kayfabe universe. Although I guess that universe doesn't exist anymore.

Playing Devil's Advocate, however, if he ends up turning heel, that's some pretty sweet foreshadowing!

Paul Heyman had one of the only genuinely funny moments last year that legit made me laugh out loud at the television. Heyman: "Knock, Knock." Crowd: "Who's there?" Heyman: "Mike." Crowd: "Mike Who?" Heyman: "Mike...lient Brock Lesnar conquered the undefeated... (etc.)" That was gold!

Also when there's not NFL Monday Night football or the NCAA National Title game on.

When did Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase or André the Giant ever win a Royal Rumble?

and now we could have The Shield chasing after Cena & The Authority instead of Cena chasing after The Authority & Rollins. I don't know if that would be better or not but it would certainly be different. I don't think they should have ever split up The Wyatt Family or The Shield anyway.

What was the good reason? To shock people? Or 'cause 'Taker can't really go anymore? I guess it could be both. Either way, if that were the case, there had to have been a better opponent than Brock.

I kind of like the crowd being dark. I don't like when the fans are all about just getting on camera or holding up stupid signs. It should be about what's going on in the ring, not in the stands.

My problem with The Undertaker is that his aura is gone. His Streak was his last hurrah and WWE killed it for no real reason. So now all the matches that otherwise would have had some intrigue (Cena, Sting) don't matter anymore. What's the point? To see who can beat 'Taker second? The mystique is gone. He has nothing left. Ending the Streak before having one of those big money matches was a total waste & completely short-sighted. A 20-year build blown on a whim.

People sure are stupid.

If you only saw the backstage Clique segment (which was funny, IMO) and the last 5-8 minutes of the show, you probably thought this show was awesome. It was everything around those parts that was boring, unfunny or bland. I don't care about Bryan losing. I do care about it being because of more THEDEMONKANE involvement. I wish that dude would just go away already. Take Big Show with him.

That place came unglued at the end. Sting, for sure. Brock was on another level. Holy crap, Brock as a babyface that took no shit would be awesome.
