He can put on good matches, and when he has a backstage interview like he did tonight he can be damned entertaining. You can do a lot worse than John Cena.

Pfft. Big deal. I've won ladder matches, too. I won three of them just this afternoon!

So essentially there will be 3 brands but the same people will be on each one.
Brilliant, Vince. Just brilliant. How about just ending the brand extention already?
Oh wait, that would mean admitting you were wrong. I forget, you're Vince McMahon, dammit. You don't do that.

Edge is a legit title contender without the MITB. Orton could be if given the proper push.
Kennedy is the most logical choice. His MITB could launch him into World Title status.

I say Kennedy.
Only because I see the finish being Edge (or Orton) going up the ladder, Orton (or Edge) yanking him down, they get into an argument then brawl, and Kennedy sneaks up the ladder to win.
WWE looks like it wants to set up an Edge/Orton feud, and this would be the perfect way to do it. They could feed off the "You cost me a title shot" hatred, have the one who got yanked off the ladder (probably Edge) viscioulsy attack the other one. I mean a bloody, vicious, "BAH GAWD HE HAS A FAMILY" sort of attack, and cap it at Summerslam with either a HIAC or a steel cage.

You know what would be cool HBK redoing his classic Wrestlemania XII entrance Unfortunately, after what happened to Owen Hart I don't think we'll ever see an entrance like this again.

I'm in Watertown, Wisconsin. I'll be able to see WM at my wife's family's house, but barring that I wish I knew of a good bar in this town where I could see all the PPV's.

The last Nitro. Seriously, seeing Shane O Mac show up on Nitro while Tony Schvone and company were doing commentary was just surreal. Itll never happen again where Vince will be on both Nitro and Raw at the same time. I dont think it can get any bigger than that. And if you would have told me even two years prior that Jim Ross would be the last voice ever heard on a WCW broadcast, I'd tell you you were nuts.

I'd say the first Nitro wasn't as important as the day Scott Hall showed up. THAT started the real Monday Night Wars. But, the most important night in wrestling history had to be "I DON'T KNOOOOOW". Hands down But without Nitro, could the nWo have been as revolutionary? I mean, them dissassembling the WCW Saturday Night set just doesn't seem as impactful.

Tony Schiavone said every week on Nitro "This is the biggest night in the history of our sport."
Well, what really WAS the biggest night in the history of our great sport?
I think it comes down to a number of very good contenders:
Wrestlemania 3 (Savage/Steamboat and Hogan/Andre), the very first Nitro (kickstarted the Monday Night Wars), the formation of the nWo, Vince buying WCW....
Personally, I'd have to say the very first Nitro. WCW offered something brand new at the time... two full hours of superstar vs. superstar, compared to Raw's "one hour of squash matches and a supersar vs. superstar main event." Hell, Raw today, six full years after the death of WCW is 2 hours and is in the superstar vs. Superstar format it was forced to adapt to to compete with Nitro.
Plus, it kickstarted the Monday Night Wars, and those gave us some of the best moments in the history of wrestling with each company trying to outdo the other.
So what's your opinion, fellow Crappers?

At least this one it isn't blatantly obvious who's losing.. It's not?

I question the staggering drawing power of a hair v. hair match anyway. That stipulation has never made me go " gotta see that!" Ever. If booked right it could be interesting. But Vince is acting like getting ones head shaved is a fate worse than death itself, and that really makes me roll my eyes.

I think Vince will lose and get his head shaved.
The next night on Raw, among the "You got shaved" chants (I assume), he'll sic Khali on some poor face who he catches snickering at him as he walks by.
Vince could really make an angle out of this post-WM, but it'll be: 20 minute Vince promo, mocking chants from the crowd, Vince getting pissed, booking some jobber in an impossible match, and then Vince off of TV for a while.

I'd like to see this, because it has endless possibilities:
Raw has a battle royal for the vacant tag belts. But not a tag battle royal, a regular one. Last 2 left standing are declared the new tag team champions.
If you're in a tag team and your partner is eliminated, you're still alive. You could have Murdoch and Shelton as new tag champs, for example.

Not to be cliche, but I wish him well in his future endeavors.
This is why it's a good thing that people get out of the business at a relatively young age like Jehrico, Trish, Rock, etc.

I don't know if Umaga would work as a face. Every time Vince tries to do something evil, a crazed out-of-control Samoan shows up and hunts him like a dog. The crowds would go nuts. Why does this make me think of the "Jimminy Lummox" episode of "Red and Stimpy?" You could have Umaga extract revenge for Vince's evils until it degrads into things like Vince trying to jaywalk... BAM, Samoan Spike out of nowhere. Vince doesn't tip well at a restaurant... BAM, that butt-face move in the corner. Vince shuts the door on some Girl Scouts... BAM, samoan drop.

I thought Orton was having good matches. I mean I'm biased, but he's been a pretty consistent performer. Whenever anybody says "the crap matches of randy orton" I'd like to ask them to name a few. Cause I can't think of any truly bad ones. Shortly before Kurt Angle left Orton and Angle fought on PPV (not at ONS, before that). Angle carried him in that match. Orton was just half-assing it.
