Two is at a disadvantage since number 1 is already in the ring and can get the jump on the guy when hes coming in...

God, just thinking about DB at WM 30. Look at him on NXT in 2010. Who would have ever, EVER guessed that guy would getting louder reactions than absolutely anyone one the roster and end a WM holding two world titles.

Great Rumble. The talent roster was stacked with star power in 2008. I hated Cena winning at the time, but looking back I kind of like it. Same with WM 22. I HATED that Triple H tapped, but looking back it made the show much more memorable. HHH celebrating a year after losing the WHC wouldn't be anything special other than a "back to status quo" thing...

I think the last good year Taker vs Cena could have happened in would be 2010-2011. Cena was still clearly THE guy in way he wasnt in 2013-now and Taker could still really go in the ring.

The draft was actually good to Smackdown that year. They got HHH, Jeff Hardy and the Wwe championship Yep. Look at the 2009 Elimination Chambers. Keep in mind this was a February PPV so its using the roster it had after the draft. HHH, Edge, Jeff Hardy, and Undertaker. The RAW one had Mike "Shitty" Knox in it.

CM Punk changed the entire landscape of WWE, and I say that even as someone who personally never found his act all that entertaining. The WWE main event scene is filled with high profile indie wrestlers hewing closely to their established persona and putting on extended, workrate-heavy matches, and even the company-manufactured acts like Reigns try to work matches that pander to that style. We can complain all we want about talented guys playing second fiddle to Vince's masturbatory fantasies about Roman and Jinder, but pre-pipebomb, it felt like a huge achievement that a guy like Evan Bourne could get hired at all and occasionally win midcard titles instead of being pure enhancement talent. Now a guy like AJ Styles, a 40 year old hillbilly Evan Bourne, is "only" a multitime world champion with clean wins over Cena and the face of Smackdown. That's a trail that Punk blazed, even if he ironically ended up broken, bitter, and gone before he could personally benefit from the changing format as much as his successors. Exactly. Look at the list of WWE champions. The type of wrestlers who ended up winning the title after Punk did is way different to those prior. Punk broke down the door...

Its weird cause I always realized how first his heel turn was but didn't ever really think about the difference between Punks heel persona then and then his heel persona in 2012.
However, people kind of forget how early on in Punks turn it wasn't like this full on over the top heel act. I was just about to say "Punks other times as heel had him have a legitimate point of view", but then I realized he did early on in his 2012 heel run. The guy having to toil in the midcard as champion as part timers and...Johnny Ace main event PPVs.
Theres a point after the heel turn that I only noticed later on. A match where Cena and Punk are tag teams. There's some conflict, but they both do their part in winning. Punk goes to shake Cenas hand, and Cena just stares a while, and finally Punk is like "fine" and just leaves angry that Cena STILL wouldn't show him respect. I like to imagine in kayfabe that Cena could have shook Punks hand and maybe Punk wouldn't have spiraled down into this angry, bitter guy with a chip on his shoulder...

Vince had no idea what he had with D-Bry. Tried to bury him by losing every match, Regal and Punk telling Miz that Bryan was better than him, the infamous Bryan Danielson promo, Tiegate and the fallout from his firing, all the way up until the WWE Universe outright rebelled at his treatment. Bryan’s run has been completely amazing as a big F-U to Vince and the WWE’s old ways of doing things. It’s quite comical and indicative of his charisma that he became one of the biggest stars in recent memory despite the WWE’s best efforts. They’ll change the narrative and say that was the plan all along, but there’s just no way because they did some of the dumbest shit in history along the way. Absolutely. They tried to cut out DBs legs from under him for 9 months, and the fans had learned from what they did to Punk to absolutely refuse to give up and not let Vince win. Vince win...its so f***ing ridiculous to think that a Vince win meant someone didn't get massively, MASSIVELY over. It took him 9 months to realize he wasn't getting his way, and then a year after this it took him 9 months to f***ing destroy Roman Reigns chances to ever universally be over as top face. A guy the fans really did love as a real badass character. McMahon is such a f***ing cancer to the creative direction of his company, and has been for SO long. I can't wait for him to not be in that position.

Sting - Hogan. Starrcade 97. Should have been predictable. Sting should have beat the shit out of Hogan for 5-10 minutes and beat him totally, 100% clean. It's just Hogans an absolute idiot belt mark who would always rather not lose clean and make 1 million than lose clean and make 3 million.

Kevin Nash said it best, the wwe called him and asked if he would forfeit his contract with Turner to work for them for less money. His response was something like this, "Let me get this right, I can stay at my house smoking weed, or go out on the road bumping every night and traveling for half of what I'm making? Thanks I'll pass." "...its f***in' fake man. Quit being such a mark. You go out on the road all ya want, I'll stay here and drink wine and appreciate fine art. It's f***in' business." (Sorry, I can't resist a chance to do Lapsed Kevin Nash.)

When he retires. Hopefully by then they’ll have a “backstage staff” wing by then so people like Dunn, Jim Johnston, Jimmy Miranda and Steve Lombardi can be honoured for their careers. If Warrior can't get the Miranda award off the ground, there is no hope. Let's not turn another backstage award into a PR award. And if there actually ever was a backstage wing, I'm going with Pat Patterson as the first inductee. He created the Royal Rumble. That's more than enough to go into the Hall of Fame. I hate that they turned Warriors one good idea into PR bullshit.

I wish looked like this upon his return. Instead of a fat ginger in a sweaty denim shirt.

GO. THE. f***. AWAY. YOU SENILE, OLD f***.
Typical Vince. Someone he likes would be "WELL WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE HIM WIN THEN SO BY THE TIME THE MATCH COMES HES AT THAT LEVEL". See Roman. 3 failed WM coronations and a 4th on the way. It ain't happening Vince. You've failed. Reigns will NEVER be universally over as top face and its Vinces fault. Go the f*** away, you f***ing cancer.
