Well I don't actually mind Cena. So him as champ again actually isn't as bleak to me as it probably is to everyone else.

Hey it wasn't an attack. I actually found the post funny tbh.

It was well worded :)

Keep it up. You may also notice that I never complain about Cena's spot either..... Although I don't have a problem with him taking a backwards step at some point.

I definitely think he needs to take a step backward. He's not getting any younger. I just don't think anyone they're currently pushing is the guy to replace him very soon. They've just had missed opportunities to create new stars and they're also paying now for years of not really putting much effort into pushing midcarders so that they've got guys over and ready to headline at a moment's notice.

If they had been focusing on the midcard over the past few years there would probably be enough guys who had been in the spotlight and gotten over organically with the crowd that they'd have some guys ready to just burst into the main event at a moment's notice and take over. Instead it seems like they're in desperation mode and I'd rather they just roll with Cena til they can fix that issue.

Also, since I scream it on the inside every time I discuss the future face of the WWE and I need to let it out in order to keep my sanity...

Johnny Curtis.

Dolph fucking Ziggler.

Seph is right, Ziggler should be out of the midcard now and be strictly main event now.

Cena also has Big Booby Bella now who keeps nagging about marriage and children.

I somewhat agree with this. I won't say "crushed" like Cena was just crushed, but I'd say he needs to almost come close. I think with 6 months and the right booking, they can build Reigns up to be the guy and it be believable.

I'd actually want a case where Lesnar and Reigns won't touch until its time. Then have a 45 minute epic match. Reigns tames the beast and Brock goes back into obscurity.

Or have Reigns go over a heel Rock. Which I would LOVE to see. But then again thats not as big of a moment unless you put the title on the Rock again (and per his rematch clause, its possible). But unless they put the title on him and that makes him turn, I'm not sure if I'd be a fan of that.

They made a star in DB. They've got the chance to do it with Reigns with the right booking.

definitely don't wanna see Reigns and Brock do 45 minutes

<font color=goldenrod>Brock turns satanic red after 2 minutes of even mild physical exertion. Can only imagine what he'd look like after 45 minutes.</font>

It's gonna be incredibly boring if they just book Roman to beat everybody. The crowd were not really into the match with Orton at SummerSlam, I think mainly because it was a forgone conclusion that Reigns was going to win. Zero drama if the result is never in question.

In recent years, any Orton match has failed to get me "into it".

I'm surprised by the positive feedback my crazy post has received, though I am a little embarrassed by the post, now that I've had some sleep.

I'm sure I could have found a better way to say what I thought, rather than rambling on like I did.

Orton looks great... What is wrong with Cena's face?

Hogan's 'stache moves funny when he's motorboating.

Oddly enough back when he was a face not involved in anything was when he was at his hottest recently. He could get otherwise bored crowds going at will for meaningless matches with random midcard guys. Then they put him back in the main event picture, turned him heel and made him the weakest, shittiest, most replaceable champ heading into WrestleMania ever and it all went south.

I'm one of the few guys who think he's way better as a face than a heel anyway but having him lose cleanly in non-title matches to guys like Kofi and Cesaro is not exactly a way to get heat behind a heel champ.

So, this isn't thread worthy, so I'll post it here.

I've decided to "rebrand".

First things first, the eye killing blue of my font is no more. Now, it's this blue forever.

Also, CM Punk is no longer my avatar. It'll be someone or something else. I don't know what yet though, so the space lies vacant for now.

More rebranding details will be coming in due time.

Have a nice day.

Can you make your avatar a "this space for rent" sign in the interim?

I was actually going to have "vacant" but yeah sure, why the hell not.

Angle pushed the idea of returning on a schedule similar to what Michaels worked his last several years, where he’d come in for specific shows and work very limited house show dates. Angle, 45 had told Madden that he felt he could do at most eight dates per month. Vince still seems pretty adamant about it not being worth the risk, saying in the past that absolutely nothing is worth putting the company in the position where an Olympic hero dies on their watch, because of the negative news stories that would follow.

The WWE Network launch with Rogers Communications in Canada has been a success so far, exceeding expectations that WWE officials had. While some fans have expressed frustration with the WWE Net Pak Rogers offers, people are still signing up. There was some concern that the $11.99 price point and the limited on-demand content may be a problem for sales but so far that's not the case.

Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted recently that Hogan is hoping to land a match against Steve Austin or John Cena at WrestleMania 31.

The segment with Mark Henry and Rusev at Monday's RAW from Las Vegas was written into the script late in the afternoon during re-writes. PWInsider reports that it was a late decision and not something planned ahead of time, but it looks as if the two will be feuding.

There were a lot of re-writes to Monday's show, more than usual.

Those close to the situation said Paul Levesque told him when he was being let go to just keep his nose clean and when the heat died down, they would bring him back in six months. He said that he wasn’t interested in coming back.

WWE felt that having another incident like that, that if Del Rio wasn’t fired, it would strengthen the case and strengthen a potential case by Barbierri that WWE provided an unsafe working environment. Those close to the situation have said that John Cena, Big Show and Randy Orton all told Del Rio they would push to get him his job back because most of the locker room was sympathetic to his position, but Del Rio made it clear that he doesn’t want to come back. Del Rio has become a big-time hero in Mexico, where the basics of the story broke in mainstream news, although he would not confirm them.

Keiji Mutoh vs Big Van Vader from G1 Semifinal 1991

8/10/1991

it's insane how over Mutoh was here. Vader is pretty over too.

<object width="480" height="360"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/HRBCoXAjOtU?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/HRBCoXAjOtU?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Pillows immediately start raining down from the crowd as Mutoh stays on the mat, beaten and exhausted. Vader stomps around the ring amongst the pillows as finally Mutoh gets up and pumps his arm into the air. Vader offers him his hand and shakes it before raising his arm into the air. Vader then storms off and leaves the ring as Mutoh celebrates in all four corners with his music playing and the crowd on their feet. Mutoh had passed the test and defeated the great Vader to reach the finals of the first G1 Climax.

In terms of big singles matches, the G1 Climax proved to be critical in the development of Mutoh's career. First he defeated the reigning IWGP Heavyweight Champion, and then he defeated the most dominate gaijin perhaps ever to win a tournament block that most had assumed he had no chance of winning. The crowd understood the importance of these events, which is clear by the way the pillows came flying into the ring. At Sumo Hall, the fans used to sit on pillows, and if the match was great or a big upset occurred that the fans were happy about they would throw the pillows in the ring. This happened very rarely, but here there was no hesitation by the crowd as the pillows were hitting the ring seconds after the bell had rung.

Are you saying that I sold out, or that I'm better the way I was?

i liked your blue text. i if i looked at it the right way sometimes it would pop out and be a 3-d post

Wow, that sounds pretty cool.

But while my blue text did have it's fans, I had been noticing that the list of people who hated it was forever growing, and at some speed.

Also, I felt like I needed a change anyway. And what better time to do it than at the same time as the WWE?

The way I see it, is that I've had the same blue font since I joined in 2004 and the same CM Punk avatar for the last three years. The time of CM Punk, and his gifs, are completely gone now, and it's time to bring the Cool King "brand" into 2014 and beyond.
