Who else agrees with me in that Booker is horrible as commentator ?

Now that Cole and King will be in the ring at Mania, who do you think will broadcast the show ?
I am thinking a three man team of JR, Striker and Matthews. It would be cool to see JR come back for one night. I am not sure if his health would permit it.
Booker is an excellent in-ring performer, but he just isn't connecting with me as a commentator. Do you remember when they tried Arn Anderson, but he just didn't mesh well as an announcer ? I feel the same way about Booker.

Let's re examine the cast for Season 4.
Jacob Novak - cocky, pretty-boy heel
Conor O'Brian - human rat sorta gimmick where he was obsessed with cheese
Byron Saxton - cocky arrogant color commentator turned pro wrestler
Derrick Bateman - off the wall goofy and nerdy oddball, but it was getting over the fans
Brodus Clay - monster heel who knows his historical wrestling trivia
Johnny Curtis - I am just saying it seemed vanilla plain out there, when you look at it from the entertainment aspect.

The only way I see the Rock stepping back into the ring is in a good gesture to Vince McMahon. Rock has made so much money off movies to where he never needs a wrestling payday.
To be honest, Rock would be nothing without Vince. If you read he autobiography, you know that he wasn't never going to make it as a football star. He was flunking out of college. His dad contacted Vince and Pat to get him trained and the rest is history.

But how many more rookie themed shows do we need ?

I never understood why they never made Smackdown a live show. They had NXT/ECW preempted on Tuesday nights. Would it be too much for the WWE to handle to have 2 live shows a week ? I don't see why they couldn't have worked out a deal with SyFy to go live 2 hours of Tuesday.
And the only time Smackdown didn't seem like an afterthought was around the time they had the Brock/Angle feud.

Is it just me, or is this guy so bland ?
Out of all the other rookies on Season 4, he seemed lack the most charisma.

Could you see the WWE giving us the Mike Tyson ending at this year's WrestleMania ?
If you recall, in 1998, the WWE was teasing a feud between Tyson/Austin. Due to some legal issues with his boxing suspension, he could not officially wrestle. At the end of Mania, Tyson and Austin were on the same side.
Now we have the Rock/Cena feud, which is overshadowing the Cena/Miz match. I could see the WWE pulling a swerve on us to where at the end of the match, you have Cena and Rock embracing each other in the middle of ring.

So, if WWE is reintroducing the Tough Enough concept, why is still a need for NXT ? It seems redundant to me. Now we will have rookie tier 1 show and rookie tier 2 show.

But still, guys like Kane and Big Show still do MITB matches.

What is up with Rey and the Money in the Bank match ? With his high flying abilities, you would think he would be a shoe-in for the match. But every WrestleMania, they find a way to place in a different match. To this day, he has never competed in a Money in the Bank latter match.

Has anybody seen this in the Shorites section of WWE Classics on Demand ? While there is a decent selection of matches that will air, the format is the hokiest thing I have ever saw .

I thought it was going to be Yoko. Yoko has been off WWF TV for quite some time, so it was understandable to believe that he was going to be the 3rd man.
In reality, as I latter found out, the reason for Yoko's disappearance from WWF TV was due to his health issues.

He has a good look, good ring skills, and can cut decent promos. First off, I just don't get the name Dolph Ziggler. It begs the question, "what the (bleep) does Dolph Ziggler mean ?"Next, they had him playing the clueless putz as he was Vicky's errnad boy. I think he can be seriously over if they repackaged him the right way.
1. Drop the silly name 2. Stop making him a Stasiak-like moron

Sting would be awesome, but if they brought in Sting, I am afraid his appearance would completed overshowed any forced hype they plan on giving us with a Cena/Miz wrestlemania.

From a marketing standpoint, HHH vs. Taker w/ HBK would be a blockbuster Mania match. From a kayfabe standpoint, how are they going to handle the Sheamus situation, since Sheamus is the reason HHH has been out of action for almost a year. Are they just going to have Triple H squash Sheamus on a Raw match ?

Since Wade jobbed out so quickly in the chamber tonight, it is hard to picture him facing Taker at Mania. From a creative standpoint, he poses no threat to where the fans can buy into him having a realistic change of going over Taker.

The passing of Lawler's mom was mentioned several times throughout the angle with Miz.
I am not trying to sound disrespectful to the diseased, but I wanted to ask when they mentioned Lawler's mom, who else conjured up memories of In Your House 1 ?

Have him wear sunglasses, give him a heavy metal theme, he would never say a single word again, and would never smile, then put him on a 100 match winning streak. You mean make him a Bret Hart clone ?
