Who are these great guys?
What are their gimmicks that make them great?
WWE doesn't build memorable guys anymore.

Back home from the theater. I was entertained and the crowd enjoyed it
why would Punk fight Taker now?
if he still had his belt they could do a streak vs streak thing.
and he just lost a peoples elbow. yes wrestling is fake but it has to be believable to a certain extent otherwise it's completely retarded. Taker matches are nothing but a WWE 13 match with infinite finishers. If Punk can't even take an elbow, a tombstone would kill him.

1. Watch one of the numerous promotions out there that still pride themselves on promoting great wrestling. NJPW, AJPW, PWG, CHIKARA, Dragon Gate, DGUSA, NOAH, EVOLVE, AAW, ROH, ACW, AIW, DDT, etc.

They could have cut all the bullshit all together and just let Rock win cleanly if they really wanted to put him over, but to a Rock Bottom, not a damn elbow drop.
And most people wouldn't even be mad if Punk at least had some decent, credible wins as a champ, but they made him talk one way, and wrestle another. And all of this is for Cena lol.
The crowd knows whats up. But they keep letting us down!

Would be the greatest swerve of all time.
It wasn't the shield that interfered.
It was the 3 man band.
The rumble was filled with great spots. Kofi, Bryan/Kane, Jericho, Goldust/Cody, and Dolph looked like a champ. Saying the main event was weak is odd as well. Punk looked great against one of the all time best, and the crowd was really into it.
Why? Because someone has to job to Taker.

Seriously. I don't understand why people are always talking about quitting wrestling when there are so many alternatives out there.

7. Watch some PWG and be happy! Expand your wrestling horizons!

Amazing video I have to say, but that guy in the gifs must not care about his spine, damn.
As long as Stone Cold is at Wrestlemania, anything else is cake to me.

It remains intact.
You know what? I bet Ryback went up to Kane, who was honestly worried about his record being forgotten, and patted him on the shoulder. He then said "you Glen, I don't think I'm ready to handle the burden of that record. Maybe next year, but not now."
And Kane, with a hearty sigh that comes with years of experience in This Business, shakes Ryback's hand and agrees. And in the back of his mind...he says "thanks Ryback."
it's this kind of thinking that got us the bullshit we got tonight
Why Punk though?
Let Ryback job to him or something. or even Hunter can come back out of retirement and have End of an Era II co-main event with Once in a Lifetime II
Well...
I like all these guys. I don't think they need absurd over the top gimmicks to be memorable, those are for instant gratification only. Daniel Bryan made non stop shit stories into gold all through 2012. WWE gives people no help any more, it's true, so these guys are people who get themselves over or make themselves interesting.
These are people I want to see get pushes, be given the ball, passed the torch, etc. They're great talents that could make a great product.
Not gonna lie when Edge retired I just said whatever......He was kind of the thrill for me watching WWE especially Smackdown.

Can Vince start wrestling again?
HHH's last two matches were losses, and Cena has been losing and never touched the belt for more than a year, including against Dolph.
What now?
That was an awesome roster. 2003-2004 was probably best.

I serious thought Zigs was gonna win the rumble with all them close calls of getting knock out

Oh lord, please don't let that happen.
Cena's been losing. When?
What, TLC? The ladder match where AJ's betrayal cost him the match? That really put over Dolph, especially the two straight weeks of Cena burying him in singles matches after that.

Dude thought Dolph Ziggler was gonna win. lol
I figured Cena would take this unless there was a surprise entrant like Lesnar or Taker.
I like your fan fiction.
I imagine it also went something like this. Vince told Ryback he was breaking the record, then right before the match, he saw Kane, got sentimental, went up to GGG and said, "You know what? Forget it. I love you too much to have him break your record. By the way, I'm also adding a segment that confirms that you have a large penis."

Most of GAF thought Zags would win

TSN Law Radio likes The Rumble AND The Rock/Cena match.
eff you NeoGAF.
eff you NeoGAF.
No one seriously thought he'd win here. People wanted him to win. Everyone knew Cena was winning though.
Stone Cold isn't much different from say, Punk. He's just the real guy turned up. HBK, the same, and Jericho at times.
They're not "gimmicky" in the sense of say, the Godfather or whoever. The best wrestling characters, generally, are the ones that feel like real people. Over the top people, yeah, but real characters.
One of them just said they thought the endings to both were crap. I was enjoying the Rumble until the last stretch. I thought Rock/Punk was a solid match til the dumb ending(s).

Fixed. Ziggler winning was never going to happen since it wouldn't do anything for him.
turns out it was cena and an AA to rock because cena is afraid of punk.

So this is basically his "LAST" Push before he moves on to another challenge like RYU?
How would it not do anything for him? Going from 1 to victory as the MITB holder as well, and beating Cena to do it?
He didn't win any of the title rematches again Punk, including MitB cash-in which never happened to anyone before, lost against Rock. Ziggler losing on RAW is what he does, aside from a win here and there.
You do have to give him some due for not holding any titles for so long.
HBK was, maybe not now. Jericho, obviously isn't the weedy heel in real life, I mean his persona and sense of humour is all himself, just made hammy and over the top.
