...Is seriously good. I've mentioned this before but I've enjoyed alot of the entrance themes they've come up for the wrestlers.

I'm starting to get the feeling the Johnny Curtis bits are either inspired by or meant to mock the Zack Ryder skits on ZTLS. That's my feeling too, yeah. I hope not. Curtis deserves better than to be a whipping boy for angry Zack Ryder fans, at least.

Is it any surprise that a man who forced a PPV to continue after a a wrestler died in the ring would do something so petty and mean-spirited?

I heard a shoot interview with Dan Spivey and if I recall, he claims Adonis was released because he had a bad attitude and that he worked stiff and bullied jobbers and lower level guys. Sounds like the kind of guy WWE likes to keep around.

Because the WWE is run by monkeys and assclowns.

I'd mark for one last Tarantula. Even if it's one of the most impractical submission maneuvers ever.

You know what they say, never let logic or established characterization get in the way of a good story.
Or a mediocre story.
Or a bad story.
Or...hell...whatever half-baked idea the editor's trying to shove down your throat.

The crowd didn't even give him a pop when he showed his face on the Titan tron. Ouch. Well duh, they're Zack Ryder fans.

Also there's John Morrison before his face turn.
Yeah he was supposed to be more of a 'rock star' but there were strong shades of this too, especially when he was teamed with Miz.
Also if Billy Gunn wasn't this during his 'The One' phase his entrance music sure had me fooled.

He did what he was scripted to do. He's as strangled by management as anyone else. He was scripted to look out of place? Weren't Austin, Piper, and Reilly scripted too? Wasn't Punk as well for that matter (since he had a promo spot with Austin)? He was booked to look like a chickenshit who was pissed off at Austin but too afraid to do anything about it. Any argument about him being 'out of place' are entirely subjective. I think he did what he was supposed to do, and many others think the same.

I don't think people realize that WWE has almost never had THIS many borderline main eventers/up and comers at the same time. There are almost a dozen guys people think should be in the main event. In order for one guy to move up, someone has to scale back. It's less about that and more about how WWE treats anything that doesn't involve their main eventers as a non-entity.

Honestly once you start thinking about things like this reading any Batman story becomes impossible.

His problem was that he was cast as the downtrodden nice guy trying to get the girl with his writers not realizing that as people grow up that kind of character is going to look more and more like a stalker.

Honestly? No. For me I grew up on Superted, GI Joe, Ghostbusters, He-Man, Centurions, Thundercats, Chuck Norris and the Karate Commandos, Toxic Avenger, Swamp Thing, Captain Planet, Tiny Toons, Transformers, Mr. T's cartoon, and the list goes on. To me those were and are the golden years of cartoons. I find it sad that kids today don't know real cartoons. By "real cartoons" you meant glorified toy commercials, right? Because that's more or less what all of those cartoons you listed were. Few of those cartoons have aged well, and some are just flat out stupid when watching them nowadays. Thundercats was the *worst* with this. I remember watching an old rerun on Cartoon Network back when I was in high school and wondering what the hell I saw in it.

It's like when Morrison was growing out his beard. GIVE IT A CHANCE GUYS JEEZE. Morrison's was more due to it covering up his face. Orton's growing a kid-toucher beard.

Something like that. I meant someone who's not afraid to impose their authority. The problem there is having an authority that knows what they are doing. When your authority has no experience in the wrestling business, their attempts at fixing things are just about guaranteed to end badly. Well I wasn't implying that Jim Herd himself would be an improvement.
