STAN?! STAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!
Whether this report is BS or not, I'm going to go against type here. I can see where Arn and Finlay are coming from. They pretty much are the old school, and back in the day, you weren't just christened the Next Big Thing and made a star overnight. You worked hard, you climbed the ladder, and you respected the people who have come ahead of you. I think that was their mentality. They've seen plenty of guys, like Brock Lesnar and Goldberg, come in and have management push them to the moon, only to have them turn around and not be there when they were needed. That's just the mentality people have now. The problem I have with it is that I don't like the idea of Holly going over cleanly, and I think that Punk can be built as a star of the future, especially considering how bland the current roster in WWE is right now.

This Wrestlemania is shaping up to be even more limp than the last one. Agreed. WWE's Great American Bash WrestleMania seems to become quite dull over the past few years. But for some unknown reason, it still draws. Not as far as an attendance goes, that makes sense, but the fact that it's still the most ordered PPV and bests selling of the WWE shows dvds. Not since XX has there been any type of big match feel to the show. It seems to just be three years of complete and utter crap. I agree with part of that, but several of the best 'Mania matches ever have happened in the last few years. Not from a hype/drawing standpoint perhaps, but Angle/Michaels, Edge/Foley, and both MITB Ladder matches were as good as anything we've ever seen at any Wrestlemania, IMO. It's just that the main events have been kinda weak and predictable.

I love that if anyone else had complained about something then they would be the ones who should be thankful for a job and shouldn't be getting involved and so on but because it's Punk oviously everyone else is the bad guy.

Where is Hacksaw Jim Duggan? Twenty Year Anniversery of the darn match, and the first winner isn't in it? C'mon! Larry seems like a nice guy, but I never really cared for the commentary...maybe the picture is excessive...oh well.

Can't say as I'd be shocked if that was true. And he's better as a heel anyway. The old man hasn't completely lost it. I'm very optimistic.

He (apparently) complained about the D2D elimination chamber that sucked total balls, why do you think we're on his side?

That is pretty much every wrestler they have aside from the actual tag teams. As such i can only assume we might see the Smackdown tag titles defended at least, along with the Rumble and the three title matches. I would also include the Raw tag titles, but I don't see how Rated RKO are going to drop them. Damn super teams.

He (apparently) complained about the D2D elimination chamber that sucked total balls, why do you think we're on his side? Well, generally because everyone seems to be anti-WWE this week, and anti-WWECW every week and Punk is the ROH hero slipped in to WWE programming that everyone loves. Don't get me wrong, im impressed with Punk and all, but why not have him lose to Holly? One sided fued are hardly interesting after all (see any fued involving Cena). As for Arn Anderson having a problem, well, he's always been big on respect, he and Sid had that falling out, so maybe he feels insulted that this up and comer is daring to speak up? My point was simply that had it been anyone else complaining, let's say Orton or Cena complained about something, then they would be in the wrong because they are hated where as Punk has to be right because of this big love everyone has for him

Lost more models are to be signed, with the thinking that they need nice looking people to get the ratings up. It's as if they've looking at what segments get low viewing figures and decided that's the way to go. see, i wouldn't mind this much if they'd just use them as eye candy whenever i watch some lucha libre, i see that females escort wrestlers to the ring and then do nothing. this rubs Johnny Ace the right way (or he does) and accomplishes having "nice" people on air to boost ratings i just don't see any point in training these ladies for 6 months to bring them on TV to make a mockery of professional wrestling, and most likely hurt themselves/others in the ring. don't give them names and personalities, just let them stand and look pretty. hell, So Cal Val has done this quite well. that sounded kinda chauvinistic, but.. i hate hearing about these naive girls getting hurt and the mistakes are not learned from
