Cena Vs. Triple H, unfortunately. Setting up Wrestlemania 30 being potentially the most lack-luster (boring) card in a long time. Ok, where does Punk go then? It would probably be Punk Vs. Bryan. The "workrate" match. Throw is maybe Cody Vs. Dustin, a Diva match, a Tag match, some unfunny backstage comedy skits featuring old stars & hype videos, that would be close to the whole four hours. They could do Wyatts Vs. Shield, where Reigns finally turns on Shield & goes solo but I don't think they'll hold out that long, so Reigns might already be solo & having a big match himself.

Cena Vs. Triple H, unfortunately. Setting up Wrestlemania 30 being potentially the most lack-luster (boring) card in a long time. I'm not terribly sour on Batista coming back, or even winning the Rumble...but what does it do for WWE? Shouldn't they worry about the people that will be there the day after Wrestlemania EVENTUALLY? I mean, you can't keep bringing back Rock, Brock, Taker, Triple H, Batista, HBK, Jericho forever... Throw in the other boring guys that currently get a ton of TV time, like Miz, ADR, Sandow, Big Show, Axel...I'm not sure I'll care about Wrestlemania at all. Anymore I honestly enjoy the RAW after 'Mania & the super smarky crowd more than 'Mania itself.

Isn't the purpose of a cage match to keep the two wrestlers within the cage while keeping other wrestlers out? When did that stop being true? I remember the first Hell in a Cell & they did spots outside the cage & Kane ripped the door off. I know stuff happened many years before that though. Maybe I'm misremembering & the cage has always sucked at what it was supposed to do? Heh. Muraco/Snuka in the cage didn't feature leaving the cage or outside interference, right? What about Magnum/Tully? Man, my memory is really getting bad the older I get.

Lee doesn't speak with a horrible southern accent, hate gay people (the GAY community!?) & her tattoo is easily hidden, not taking up the entire side of her torso. They're both decent bumpers. Also for whatever it's worth (I have no idea if it even matters or if WWE cares) but Lee has 1.2 million Twitter followers. I think she's ahead in the game. Plus Styles is already 36, what does he bring to the table to WWE that they can't get from calling someone up from NXT that is a decade younger? Some flippy spots? Quoting some bible verses? I see absolutely zero in AJ Styles at this point in the game. Had he gotten into developmental a few years back, maybe. I'm sort of out of the loop as it pertains to Indy guys though. I also think the Young Bucks are dreadful & the biggest star in ROH is Maria. I guess I just want different stuff from my wrestling. I know Styles has a following. Styles could be good if WWE went out of their way to try to mask his weaknesses. He needs gear that covers his tattoo, he needs to never talk...half his spots WWE will never let him do. I actually think an NXT stint could do him well. Developmental, for the bad rap it gets, did wonders for a guy like Tyler Black. So, I guess to answer the thread title, I don't wanna see it & I don't think I ever will. I think it's too late in the game for Styles & he doesn't really have name value or appeal to make up for having to start over from scratch.

Does AJ Styles do anything as well as AJ Lee?

Holy shit that title cracked me up! I don't have high expectations. Why are there not one but two 3v1 handicap matches on the same card? Meh, I don't wanna miss it 'cause of the title unification but the bar is low for me.

Why is a professional wrestling ring sometimes referred to as a "squared circle?" I tried looking it up online & found a few different answers, none of which were answered as facts or with any confidence. Hard to take an answer that starts with "I think" seriously, ya know? I figured this was as good a place as any to ask. I've read both the answers of "because a literal ring is a circle but a wrestling ring is a square" & "because of amateur wrestling taking place in a circle."

I personally always liked jobber matches. As a fan, it was like the only time you ever got to see a damn finish. On the PPV, you might get a screwjob. On TV, if it's star against star, if you have any sort of clean finish it'll be like a roll-up or something. Sans like a Goldberg push or something. I remember marking out on Nitro just because Wrath was killing people with The Meltdown for a couple of months. You put Tom Johnson from Tallahassee in the ring with DDP though, you're getting a Diamond Cutter. I've always been a big proponent of a wrestlers finish being a big part of his character/gimmick. If a dude has a shitty finish, it's harder for me to get into his matches. I used to love that old WWF Superstars show when I was a kid because you got to see the signature moves from everyone. The Rude Awakening, the DDT, etc. Otherwise, it felt like we never saw 'em. Then on a PPV they would tease their finish & the other guy could fight out of it. Without ever seeing the damn moves, that tease doesn't work anymore. Plus, as an added bonus, if the fans get several Tom Johnson from Tallahassee squashes on a show, suddenly a mid-card match between The Miz & Kofi Kingston might matter more. That would be like an old B-show main event. On RAW it's a channel-changer & an eye-roller.

Well yeah. He's 6'5" & 265lbs.

Heh. Still think Bryan wins though cause he doesn't have a lot of competition this year. I don't think Okada or Tanahashi are really up there this year. Punk fell off. John Cena missed some time. If you could vote for The Shield as one unit, maybe! I agree with Goldust for Comeback (does that category exist?) & Reigns for Rookie although I like Summer Rae too, she has no chance of even getting a vote. My MOTY might be the Cena/Punk RAW match from after Elimination Chamber. I did like Shibata/Ishii from the G1 Climax show too. There's quite a few Shield matches. Best Promotion: WWE Best TV Show: NXT Tag Team: Reigns/Rollins Feud of the Year: Rhodes Brothers Vs. Authority/Shield Most Improved: Bo Dallas Best Interviews: Gotta be Heyman or Zeb, I reckon

Great. Now every time I watch a 'Child's Play' movie, I'm going to hear Triple H's voice in my head when the doll talks. "Ya know...I'm your friend till the end-uh."

1. Kane: 1,518 matches (14 years) ...and they all sucked.

Did something go wrong? Did someone get hurt? I'm so confused. That PPV ended super early.

I think Del Rio is a very good worker, but it's hard to argue on his behalf at this point as his character is completely flat and the booking only makes it worse. Of course I feel like that about a lot of guys, including Punk who has been change the channel level horrific as a promo/character for the majority of this year Like, I can't even argue! He's so talented. He should have been huge... just bad booking, man. Build him up as this big star then he loses in the curtain jerk of 'Mania after winning the biggest Rumble ever. He's been heel/face multiple times already, has nothing but rematches, been champ multiple times already...they burned through an entire wrestling career in like two years. Poor guy. Now he doesn't even have the stuff that used to make him unique, like the cars or Ricardo.

When you can't buy a single near fall in a match, not a single one of them, I'm not entertained by the match. So that Cena/Del Rio match was not good to me, or decent, or even serviceable. It was same old shit. Del Rio is just SO FUCKING BLAND. I pretty much never want to see him ever. He makes me not care. He's just a 2013 Dino Bravo to me: no fucks given. I know some peeps dig him, totally cool with that, but he's not my cup of tea at all.

Weird with WrestleMania being in New Orleans, they are turning Henry into JYD. I mean...his finish has been The Thump for like...ever.

Mark Henry got blown up & I don't really wanna see him as a babyface but I'm glad he's back. I figured it would be Sheamus honestly. Pleasant surprise. EDIT: ...has Ryback ever won on PPV? A single time? I can't remember him winning. Surely he has by now & I'm just overlooking it.

Saying a wrestler "works hard" is like getting a participation ribbon in school. No one cares, you're a jobber.

Wouldn't be surprised if Roman Reigns wins the Royal Rumble. I feel Reigns & Cesaro are the future. Reigns, barring injury, is going to be huge. EDIT: McGillicuddy still sucks.

In a vacuum, where online fans just watch the match later on YouTube or whatever, I'm sure the wrestling will be fine. If you're a fan of stories or characters or build-up, or original matches, this shit sucks. I imagine anyone paying $54.95 for a WWE PPV is probably tired of Rhodes Vs. Shield part forty-five or whatever we're up to. To us though, the matches are always good, so fuck it. Hope the Boston crowd is hype. This PPV has to go head-to-head with Sunday Night Football which is Tom Brady Vs. Peyton Manning though. And on paper, I don't think most people think this card looks all that stellar. I mean...I don't know a single person off the internet that cares about Alberto Del Rio OR Randy Orton...and that's the two main events. Looking grim!

Nothing would change. Just like when TNA got Jeff Hardy. None of the fans can make the jump with the wrestler when no one knows TNA exists. People aren't watching Spike TV at any other time to even see a TNA Wrestling commercial so how will they know about it? Only if they're watching COPS reruns or fucking Bar Rescue.

I'm a fan of the Crossface Chickenwing & The Camel Clutch. Mostly because they both look like they actually hurt. Especially if the fingers get locked in the Chickenwing or if the Clutch is done Iron Sheik style, not like Scott Steiner or Sabu. Kana in SMASH had a helluva Chickenwing.

Good news! Rhodes Brothers, Usos, Punk & Bryan Vs. Shield & Wyatt Family is on free TV tonight on country RAW!

I think you're delusional. All Kofi has ever done is a few spots in gimmick matches. Walking on ladder stilts or falling off a ladder or jumping to the guardrail in a Rumble. He's a worse Shelton Benjamin. Meanwhile, I consider Tito Santana one of the best babyfaces of all-time. Tito kills Shelton & Shelton is above Kofi, so there ya go. Tito's feud with Valentine might be better than Kofi's entire career. Kofi is dreadful & one of the first people I would fire if I could. He's the poster boy, to me, of everything wrong with modern WWE. But that's another rant altogether. So, no, you can "get the fuck out of here with that garbage."

Even calling Kofi a poor-man's Tito sounds like a slight to Santana to me. Chico was so many miles above Kofi it's ridiculous. I would compare Kofi more to someone like Buff Bagwell.
