Cesaro, Rollins, Owens, Zayn, and Rusev all have the most upside, both in longevity and in ring ability. Miz, Wyatt, and Ambrose just miss the cut. I'd love to keep Jericho, but he's had such a long and storied career, if he called it quits and rode off into the sunset (aka, the Hall of Fame), I wouldn't be too upset. Orton, honestly, doesn't contribute that much, aside from a good match or spot. His presence would barely be missed.

Not as bad as when they unscrupulously hire fans after they've managed to get into the ring and challenge wrestlers. The likes of Steve Blackman and Santino Marella. Such a shady business practice.... I dunno about that, Cole. I kinda liked the whole "local man" gimmick thing.

I think it's because Trips is secretly waiting to ditch him for Sheamus. Regardless who won that WWE Title match, Sheamus was gonna cash in and pick the bones (until Kane spared us from it got in the way). I'm thinking Trips and Sheamus are in cahoots, and in a matter of time, that's gonna come to light, along with Seth's possible face turn.

The Smackdown theme that was just something like "huhhuhhuh gorahhuh huhuhuhgorahhuh" I assume the singer was actually saying something rather than just making random sounds. EVERYBODY ON THE GROUND EVERYBODY ON THE GROUND Literally the lyrics. Still my favorite SmackDown theme, outside of "Hangman" by Rev Theory (still disappointed that wasn't moved up to main after they ditched the Green Day theme).

I would honestly look forward to Cena/Taker. Actually, I'm surprised it never happened sooner, when there was still a streak to threaten.

...yeah, that looks like Winona Ryder on that cover. Which, by the by, begs the question: What's happened to her career that she's doing WWE Films to supplement her income?

"That's what we call it, actually, so you all know. I don't know why we call it ThunderCat, but that's what we call it". In the exact same interview. "I'm not one of those nerds that names his moves" ...Daddy didn't think that one through. God bless Roman but he comes off like...well, a bit of an idiot in interviews. Further into the piece: I think the point was that he doesn't personally name his moves (e.g., Sheamus in the example above); he just uses the established term ("Superman Punch", "ThunderCat"). With that said, Reigns (and Ambrose) sound like your prototypical example of a negative jock stereotype, which isn't very endearing. I wouldn't say that much. I mean, there's a big difference between naming a few moves, like your finisher and your signature, and then there's "All Irish Everything," with the Irish Curse, the Irish Cloverleaf (the Texas Cloverleaf he rarely does, but it's an Irish Cloverleaf because FELLA), etc. Yeah, Dean Ambrose has "Dirty Deeds," but that's it. Stone Cold Steve Austin had the Stone Cold Stunner, but pretty much everything else was rather simply named. Sometimes, simple works. Hell, a little creativity works. I love Atwater's Vanilla Java Porter - I like the name and I like the taste (hell, the name highlights the taste), but if there's a beer out there called "Grandma's Secret Recipe '62," it better be the best thing I've ever tasted, otherwise it's a mouthful for no reason. tl;dr: I think y'all overreactin'.

This, but of the two, Show. Flair's only been all weepy recently, but that's what happens with four divorces and a legion of fans who'd go to Change.org to keep you out the ring before they cosigned you getting back in the ring.

I was thinking more along the lines of "changing his f***ing moveset".

I hope this doesn't stop the Muscle Buster because that is Joe's entire identity really, without that he has his Clutch Sleeper but in all honesty it takes away a huge spot and spectacle from his offense Again, Joe has done this move millions of times, hell, Cody Rhodes did it for a bit too... something just went terribly wrong here... Whether or not they maintain the Muscle Buster (which, to be honest, I wouldn't miss it that much), the bolded sentence, I just can't. Joe is a spectacular performer - that one move doesn't define him; it's the other way around. Hell, he's the "Samoan Submission Machine," I doubt he'd be hurt at all with a more submission/strike based offense. Further, I seriously doubt losing the Muscle Buster would be any more of a "death blow" for Samoa Joe than giving up the Cattle Mutilation and the Pepsi Plunge were for Daniel Bryan and CM Punk respectively. The two points I keep coming to in my head are: 1) Jesse Sorensen, who had such a bad neck even TNA wouldn't clear him to wrestle 2) Gabby Gifford's, who proved that "I nearly died" doesn't mean "I have to retire" True. Same with Senator Byrd after he'd been all but killed by a stroke and Roger Ebert who lost his jaw and much of his neck to cancer. That said, three of the people on this list don't have to get dropped on their heads for 300 days a year. Even with an abbreviated schedule, all it'd take is one time, and he'd be risking paralysis... or worse. I love Tyson Kidd as a performer, and it kills me that he didn't get the push he deserved, but if I had his ear, I'd be BEGGING him to call it quits before his spine does it for him.

Pulp Fiction, but Lion King and Leon the Professional are very close second and third. Interview with the Vampire and Shawshank Redemption would round out my top five, although I do really like Forrest Gump and The Crow.

They always have, but not in the sense that they're two different organizations, so much as NXT is widely acknowledged as the minor leagues and WWE as the major leagues. A number of wins in the minor leagues give you momentum heading to the major leagues, but you still start off at zero.

Everyone (commentators, divas) keeps saying that Paige has betrayed/turned on everyone she has teamed with, but I honestly cant remember her turning on anyone other than AJ. Who else has she turned on? Nope, just AJ, BUT SHE STILL CAN'T BE TRUSTED, BECAUSE REASONS! This... whatever it is, is killing me slowly. I used to look forward to Diva segments. It a minute, it might actually become my piss break or my sandwich break or just my "how long until BTB and her sister are off my telly" break. But #givedivasachance, tho.

The Bellas are heel, full stop. Kane is Kane. Alicia Fox (like many Divas) is heel except when she needs to be a face. Slater is a comic relief tweener. Los Matadores... don't really matter enough for it to matter.
