Other than the amusement from his Tuxedo Mask coat + rose days, Wade Barrett does nothing for me. Generic bland guy, boring look, slightly above the average in the ring. Enjoyable on commentary, though not on a microphone in the ring. I don't get the "IWC" fascination with him. He's forgettable, and that's the worst thing a wrestler can be.

To get further cheap heat, Cody Rhodes is the same for me.

He's one of the better talkers they have right now, I just wish he would commit to a gimmick and stick with it. Ideally he should be in blue jeans with taped fists.

You didn't even like Dr. Doom or Dashing Cody? I loved both, but I'm still waiting for mustachioed Cody to win me over.

Shoot? You mean work...right?

Those terms are basically interchangeable at this point. What I really meant was that he was the best technical paraplegic in the business.

I wasn't watching to see Dashing Cody Rhodes, so I can't comment on that phase. I did see disfigured Cody Rhodes and hated most every bit of it. I enjoyed his matches with Christian last summer, and I don't dislike when he's on TV now generally, it's just forgettable.

My Top 5 Cody Rhodes moments would have one entry for the video packages prior to last WM against the Big Show and four blanks.

EDIT: I think pairing him with Sandow, and having them feud with Kane and Daniel Bryan, magnifies this problem. Three interesting, entertaining, or compelling on-screen personas... and Cody Rhodes. He's a generic create-a-wrestler by comparison.

DOUBLE EDIT: Also, in my wrestling hiatus, I missed the beginning of the Nexus angle by about two months, so I can't comment on that either. Still, that's over two years worth of Barrett Barrage.

Never forget.

Oh hey, another awesome angle completely buried (With an avalanche of chairs, no less.) by Cena!

Why'd they fucking ruin the Nexus, man?! ; _ ;
 
If Raven bought his WCW theme than why didn't he use it in WWE? His theme during his WWE run sucked. That Come as you Are theme fit the character like a glove. Way Way better than his Offspring theme in ECW as well.

WWE just make up rules as they go along. They could beat the record if they wanted.

They could do a replay of that spot where Cody Rhodes just shoved Sin Cara as he hopped up on the top rope. Cara hops up on the rope to get in the ring, somebody runs over and shoves him backwards, congratulations Sin Cara you lasted 0.5 seconds in the Rumble.

apparently you can just beat up a Rumble entrant and take their spot?

You can also purchase someone else's spot. You can use different costumes to get yourself multiple entries. You can also exit under the bottom rope and just sort of hang out outside for a while if you feel like it. If you show up the day of the event and haven't been around for a while then you can ask for a good spot and probably get it. You can also pull out someone after you've been eliminated if you can do it before the refs force you to the back. You can also run out and attack people in the ring if you've been eliminated or were never entered.

I love the Rumble and all of it's convoluted rules.
 
Damn, stream broke 101 viewers. Crazy! How disappointed they'll be when I shut it down to play Euro Truck Sim 2 :P

Maybe I shouldn't do that.
 
It should have been eventually revealed that Ryback is numerically illiterate, which is why he is able to fight multiple men despite the fact that two is greater than one. After this revelation he could be tutored by Damien Sandow but as his intelligence grows his divine strength fades away and he is no longer able to win matches. The story would be an allegory of the biblical character Samson.
 
-- Mark Henry is currently in Istanbul, Turkey doing promotional work for WWE. No word on his return to WWE as of this writing.

Dammit. Maybe no Mark at the Rumble. Maybe.
 
I'll Mark out if 1)Sting announces on TNA Thursday he's entering the rumble and wins. Or
2)out of nowhere edge signs a one day contract and enters @ #30
