I loved the Spirit Squad. It was a great gimmick For all his real life ineptness, John Laurenitis was a riot on screen. I agree with both these things. The Spirit Squad was a wonderfully goofy, bullshit midcard gimmick and I loved every second of it. They were a modern day 3 Count. I wonder how far they would've gotten if they weren't just bumping dummies for DX.

This was the tail end of WWE's 'Dude with trunks who wrestles' period. Talent was so thin on the ground that Finlay just randomly came out of retirement.

Ive watched the T.I.T ladder match like a hundred times and as a result have a soft spot for all those involved.
I only started watching WWE again when I heard Christian was WHC. Always preferred him to Edge.
I always preferred D'Von to Bubba Ray. No idea why.

I was always willing to give Aksana a pass because of how hot she was and how I'm always attracted to European women.
But not after this week's Raw. She needs to go.

I never felt Jeff Hardy had the charisma to be a headliner. Great moves, loved him in the Hardy Boyz but any promo I've ever heard him cut post the match where Undertaker gave him a rub was atrocious.

***If ADR left today, I wouldn't notice or care. ***Booker T should have beaten Racist HHH for the WWE belt. He and Dusty Rhoades are the greatest superstars to have never won the WWE Championship. ***I don't think HHH is all that bad of a guy, and, breaking kayfabe, he is trying to take being COO seriously with the Wellness Program, trying to bring wreslers back to the fold, and making sure the product is solidified. ***I don't really miss Punk. I see his point, and I'm glad he was challenging continuity and cliche, but, at the end of the day, you just cn't walk out of your job. ***NXT having enhancement talent makes me happy; it's the second reason I watch it. ***The Natural Born Thrillers were underrated and under-utilized. They should have found a place for Jindrak. (Don't cry for him, though...he's doing just fine. O'Haire on the other hand...) ***I like little person wrestling. The reason why the E signed El Torito is because he is crazy talented. ***I would future endeavour the following: Barrett, 3MB, Khali, Otunga, Yoshi, Hawkins, and Kofi. I would give the following one more shot: Miz, Ziggler, Ryder, R-Truth. I would give Golddust a "thank you" title run between PPVs. ***There hasn't been a good Divas Match since Lita/ Trish II.
Most everything else you all have said, I agree with.

Miz deserved his title win in 2010 and to subsequently go on to main event Wrestlemania in 2011.

- Wasteland was an awesome finisher. - I loved the King Sheamus entrance attire and wish he would use it again. - I wish Ricardo would get a push as a serious wrestler and be Del Rio's tag team partner. - I wish WWE would fully embrace SmackDown as the B-Show and just let it turn into a larger scale NXT Redemption. - I think if it wasn't for Photoshop threads and basketball jokes, Batista wouldn't be all that memorable at all. - I find 3MB entertaining, but at the same time I feel that Heath Slater drags the other two members down because his comedy jobberness rubs off on them. I think Drew and Jinder automatically have more credibility whenever Heath isn't around. - I know Evan Bourne screwed himself over, but I want him to come back even if it's just as a jobber. - This one is no surprise, but I think Alex Riley is an underrated talent who never got a fair shot.

I hate that marijuana is part of the wellness policy. I'm not even a smoker myself or someone who cares about the social issues involved with it, I just think too many pushes have fallen by the wayside over it. The top stars of the 80's were snorting cocaine and shooting steroids into their systems on a continual basis. I don't think Evan Bourne and his weed are harming anything by comparison.

-I find assholes' entertaining, and love CM Punk and get a genuine kick out of how angry he makes certain types.
-If John Cena would stop being "funny" and sell feuds/angles better, I'd be a huge fan.
- Batista is amazingly entertaining as a douchebag.
- I think Stephanie McMahon as a character only works when playing the spoiled princess role, and not the "tough businesswoman role." The former is more realistic.
- Kane should retire. He's had a great run, but it's over.
- While talented, I think the Roman Reigns mega babyface push will end up backfiring. WWE doesn't have the best track record when it comes to deciding ahead of time who SHOULD be on top, as opposed to who the crowd actually organically chooses.
- I want Brock Lesnar to be WWE Champion by Summer's end.
- I think Daniel Bryan should defend the WWE Title on TV every week as a fighting Champion, to differentiate himself from the previous pack.
- Sheamus is better as a mean heel than as a cornball cartoon character.
- Bad News Barrett is better off without getting the IC belt. I pray he doesn't. That shit is career cancer right now.
- Miz should be a manager who occasionally wrestles.
- I think Rusev is this year's Tensai, and will be dancing by Summer Slam.

I'd like to see WWE scale back their production somewhat. Every time they've changed the look of the show, it's been more, not less, but they've hit a point where doing more is going to be way too much. The whole LED light HD stage makes everything feel very cookie cutter. An overhaul in that area, a total rethinking of how to present the show from a visual standpoint, would be very helpful to my enjoyment. It needs to look, and feel, grittier, right now it looks like an episode of the X-Factor. And I'd hope a grittier look would lead to a more human product, instead of a bunch of guys and girls who seem like they're going through routines and hitting their marks for the telvision camera. I know they have to do that, but it shouldn't blatantly feel like they are. It needs to feel more organic, spontaneous, human.

I don't like Paul Heyman. At all. I never have and I never will. The most overrated manager of all time, by far.
Same with Shield. Incredibly overrated stable.

The first thing I did when I got WCW Revenge was make Goldberg tap out to the LionTamer...
I bought WrestleMania 20 just for the Lesnar/Goldberg match hoping Brock would destroy him
Did I mention I have never liked any incarnation of Goldberg?

When I first saw him debut, I was pretty sure that Kurt Angle would never, ever go get over. I thought Wade Barrett would be a world champion by now. I legitimately enjoyed the dying days of WCW more most Mondays than the WWF at the time. Before his big push, when he was announcing, I said of CM Punk "He's talented and all, but he should just call it quits and just become an announcer, they're never going to do anything big with him." I like Edge quite a bit, but he's tremendously overrated in terms of in ring work and especially as a promo guy. The only time I ever watched Smackdown was when JBL was champion. Otherwise, it's completely obscure to me and I would be pleased if it was cancelled. I supported Chyna in her feud against Chris Jericho I thought for quite a while that Val Venis was going to be a future world champion. I really, really loved Kane's feud with Shane. It was completely over-the-top and I consider Kane falling into the burning dumpster to be one of the coolest Raw endings of all time. I thought Taz was going to be a top guy, especially after he beat Angle at the Royal Rumble. I wanted Dude Love to beat Steve Austin just after WrestleMania XIV, mainly because I felt sorry for him. Out of Edge, Christian, and Gangrel--it was clear to me that Gangrel would be the breakout star. Thank god I wasn't the only one who thought Kurt Angle would bomb. It has been the shame of my wrestling fandom for years. Also add me to those who think Tamina is hot but that's no big confession. I like polynesian girls. I honestly thought The Miz would be the next Rock. I was initially only a Punk fan cause I thought he was hot.

LOL! I said that if Triple H lost to Bryan clean I would change my name to that for a month. It's been a long arse month.
