I agree with that 100% Since the whole title shot deal can be rewritten like mad, it was a blown opportunity to not have had Santino win. It would have been a giant burst of happy that would have lasted 24 hours as Del Rio would beat him on RAW the next night to get the title shot

The HBK "Mr. Wrestlemania " thing refers to the amount of good to great or important matches he's been in at Mania and his effort in them. People like us can nitpick or look at "great" matches and say " not so great", but overall I'd say it's not a bad nickname.

That isn't really the MO anymore. They have no problem with one guy going over again and again... Exhibit #1: Sheamus vs. Christian. I loved the kendo stick beatdown, but Christian needs to beat him soon with enormous amounts of cheating.

Cena HAD to win that. It was the logical culmination of the story.

Seriously? lol

I was at a TNA house show here in Colorado in 2009 that drew about 200. I know that cause I was there and counted heads. It was actually a shame since it was a great show with Joe vs Styles as main event.

A rematch is one thing. And a good thing. But "Cena wants his win back ?" Come on, man.

And again, if they brought back Batista because of Guardians of the Galaxy then they're doing a terrible job since they haven't mentioned it once.

When has Cena ever been known as someone who "wants his win back"?

Nonsense. And even if it's "make up work", which I totally don't think it is, who cares? Why would that matter to someone? "I want a banana split" " Here's an ice cream cone." "It's ok but I wanted a banana split" "Ok here's your banana split" " But I wanted it before, and the presentation of the whipped cream is forced, and I'm pretty sure everyone else in the Dairy Queen are employees pretending to eat banana splits, and I'm not sure people will keep liking banana splits and they're making banana splits uncool with all this"

Maybe they just teased the break up to test reactions, knowing full well the gimmick still has legs by evolving them into Anti-heroes.

Yeah that Hennig story is hilarious. And Show's impersonations have always been fucking great. I wouldn't be surprised if that's why they had him do those comedy impersonation bits back in the day when they weren't using him as a top guy because of various reasons. I enjoyed Show explaining why he wasn't really ready when he got to WWF and how he learned.

I'm loving that Big Show was working as a Karaoke DJ before meeting Hogan and getting his break.

Todd Martin stinks. He's a zero. That segment fucking ruled. "Wah, they were plants" , who gives a shit? The Undertaker's Druids didn't actually build Stonehenge , who fucking cares?

I'm the only person who likes David Manning and gets his gimmick.

Ever since Lawler's heart attack they mention that Doctor every now and then. Remember that big jacked up security guy with the beard and leather cap? They briefly had a period of time where they'd mention him and he got a write up in one of the WWF mags back in the late 90's.

Man, Bret was definitely the "real fan's" choice at the time. All American Lex sucked. It wasn't like "hardcore" fans didn't dig Luger, we/ they didn't like the character. Anyway, I LOVED JBL accusing Lawler of using his Mempho influences to allow the Yes Movement to occupy the arena with no police involved. Even better was Lawler not denying it.

He's the GM of NXT and he thinks Emma is ridiculous. He's a bad guy.

I LOVE Stephanie playing the role the internet has invented for her. "WHEN I WAS BORN IT ALL BECAME MINE!" Of course, someone's gonna try and psycho analyze her saying this is "really her".

Who has he "buried"?

That was one of my favorite runs of TV and JBL and Cole were both awesome during it. Especially because JBL was a full on heel announcer. He'd also constantly throw out references like comparing L and K to the Simpson Brothers from World Class.

The difference is we didn't have the faith in them actually carrying it out. What's this "we", white man?

I was at Joe/ Kobashi and it's not like it was at MSG. Sure, it was sold out but It was in a small hotel ballroom. It was huge amongst ROH fans. And ROH fans represented a small fraction of overall wrestling fandom. And the idea that "everyone" goes online to read about wrestling is just not true. I'd bet the farm that if you polled an average WWE house show crowd only the smallest of percentage would even know what a Meltzer is, and if they do go online, it's probably to WWE.com.

Well, I guess it's different in Colorado.

Every time I've ever gone to a WWE house show in recent years if I tried to talk to someone about any "internet" stuff, I'd almost always get looks of, "Huh?". There'd always be a small group of people outside during the intermission who'd be going on about "INSIDERZ" stuff but they were dopier than the biggest "mark".
