I just don't like Kendrick. I could tolerate him on Smackdown since that is where cruiserweights should be, but I just don't buy Kendrick. In a fight I'm sure I can knock him out and go Oz on him if I wanted to. Put some makeup on him and he would make a good little prag.
Wait a sec....The Santina should be his partner.

LOL- how does one forget? By smoking a bowl and craving a Big Mac. You can also forget out of boredom. I take my time, and sometimes after 30 minutes of foreplay I lose interest in shooting one off. Might sound crazy, but you need to train yourself to last so you don't become a minute man. I can honestly say I lasted 2+ hours

Terrible Raw, nothing noteworthy and the roster just seems meh. At least the other shows are more fun. Batista was good for some humor though, but they really don't have anywhere to go after Judgement Day unless we get more of this boring main event storyline. I do like how the mid card is getting chances to actually speak and get angles over.
Notice how the cameras avoid Jillian's mutated face? She used to be hot too.
Santina is reminding me of Oz, and not in a good way.
So did Batista and Cody in the closest for that matter.
Who in their right mind would spend $40 on Judgement Day?
At least they are teasing a 4th enforcer member of Legacy.

I wanted a none of the above option. Funny Batista night though.

I'm suprised no one has said the obvious:
Big Show stomps out Cena
And then we predictably get Cena winning at the ppv.

The fans will cheer Randy because no one likes the McMahons. Feud with someone who is actually loved by the fans, and he can be an actual heel.
Edge has Jeff Harvey HHH had HBK, Rock, and Austin Jericho used the HBK feud to cement his status.
See what I mean? Feuding with an "over" HHH at this point kind of offsets everything because of the McMahon factor. I mean Orton could have smashed Shane's face open, dryhumped Stephanie, and made Vince eat dog poo.....he would probably get face pops just because it was done to a McMahon.

Whether some of you like Shane or not, the audiences feel the same way i do, and they just aren't buying it. This should matter to WWE because their ratings are plummeting. So big deal, let Orton go face if he gets cheered. It would only hasten a Cena heel turn which would rule.
But since Cena is their movie star that can't outdraw Dax Sheppard, he needs to be face since being a face is the only way you can be in a movie.

I remember the IWC back then, and it was still pretty badly disgusted from the horribly booked Invasion angle. At the time this match happened, everyone was especially sick of both Rock and Austin, and Jericho represented a breath of fresh air.
Personally I didn't buy him as a legit heel, and knew he was going to be fed to a returning HHH the month after he won the belts. Think of Randy Orton's first reign, but a few months longer.

Also as a result of letting guys do something that they pitched to creative was the birth of the New Age Outlaws. Isn't that where the idea of Mae Young giving birth to a hand came about?

So far just you. I think Jericho is ending up with a title though very soon.

This is a big part of why I think the ratings for WWE are declining. When they were up, Randy was being booked like a bada--, and right when him and the rest of Legacy were booked as chumps the ratings started to unravel. Fact is, NO ONE wants to see Shane beat up three men. My roommate and I laugh at Shane's punches and how dumb it looks, and we are actually fans. Just imagine how lame this looks to the casual audiences the WWE is trying to pull in. Why in the world push the owners son as a wrestler? He has some great high spots, but shouldn't he be booked as the underdog needing HHH/Batista's help and not vice versa? I liked what the WWE is currently doing with the new rosters, but they have probably killed all the momentum and popularity that Orton was gaining. In my eyes, Edge and even Jericho have jumped ahead of him as the top heels. Edge is always fun and Jericho is at least wrestling guys and winning believably without run ins. Orton's popularity was on a decline even before wrestlemania when Trips started to be getting the better of him. To a certain extent, but we were at least getting some fun skits like HHH chasing Legacy and such. Fans seemed into it, although even I'll admit it lost alot of steam as it went on and on. Orton jobbing at WM essentially killed all the momentum WWE was building. Now when Shane got into the ring with Legacy, you could almost hear crickets. When your biggest heel looks like he can't even beat Shane with his two groupies it doesn't bode well. To me this is when Legacy began losing its cred and Orton fell behind Edge and Jericho. HHH put in the nail in the coffin at WM.

The problem is the ppv itself. After endless promos on hype on the shows, the PPVs rarely deliver.
I attended Night of Champions in 2008 in Dallas. They made the PPV a "must see" since all the titles were on the line, yet they gave away the best moment the next night on Raw when CM Punk cashed in MITB. Do you have any idea how screwed over I felt by WWE?
I've been a huge fan since I was 9 in 1991, so even though I'm in money trouble I still order the Royal Rumble. Always my favorite PPV, but they pretty much gave away that Orton was going to win the second he punted McMahon the Raw before.
Wrestlemania is just too much money at 50 dollars, and I was going to go to a wing bar to watch it. In the end I didn't feel like it, and it looks like I made the right choice except for the Taker VS HBK match.
Here's how WWE can improve PPVs:
1) Cut the price by 20-25 dollars. When the price is too high, people flock to mass viewings at friends houses or bars. Vince acknowledges this. By lowering the price, lazy people like me wouldn't bother to go out and just order the damn thing.
2) Stop giving away results with poor writing. Unless WWE is purposely trying to throw off the fans with something absurd, most can easily predict the matches they want to see. This ties into #1. Why would I spend 40 dollars on something I can see coming.
3) Better writing. A better product means more buys. 80% of the people on this board have better ideas than what gets put on our TVs
4) Development: develop the entire roster on each show instead of the same 4-6 superstars rotating feuds. The draft does look promising though.

I'm bored with this Montreal stuff. If both sides were open and truthful, and Bret simply jobbed to Steve Austin none of this would have happened.

Wait, i thought about 2 weeks ago Kennedy was having his shoulder checked b/c it wasn't healing properly, and now 2 weeks later he is back?
Either Kennedy is about to risk permanent shoulder injury or that Dr James Andrews guy has the healing powers of God

I came back from a broken elbow right about the same time Stone Cold was coming back from neck surgery to face Rikishi in 2000. Watching him open that can inspired me, and so did his match at Wrestlemania where he turned heel and beat the Rock over and over with a chair.
I had a backyard wrestling match right after my elbow healed, and it was against the friend of the guy that broke my arm. I got him on the ground, punching him repeatedly in the ribs. I lunged at him and bit a chunk of flesh out of him where his nipple was.
The guy got up screaming and actually crying, and that is when I kind of snapped and grabbed a belt. I beat him over and over with the belt buckle side, and since he was shirtless it left huge welts all over his body.
I beat him so horribly, he wanted to become my friend just because I gave him the beating of his life. His friend that hurt my arm moved away soon after.
