She's too skinny imo.
The only reason Cena has not been WWE Champ in over half a year or something is because Punk is still outselling him.
The only way to get recognition from Vince McMahon if you're not 300 pound of muscles is via his wallet.
lol she's younger than me, what a nerd

The fans were popping for Ricardo (who exudes awesomeness), the entrance theme, the car, the surprise of the return and because Sheamus was interrupted after a mere 2-3 seconds.
In other words, everything about Del Rio that isn't Del Rio himself.

bad gameplay lol
Haha, I just saw a random dude on my PSN friends list (think I met him playing Journey) with YES! YES! YES! as his comment thingy.

And with this post I've just realised how horribly bland this feud is going to be, the characterless face Sheamus going up against someone who by all accounts should be a great heel but for some reason falls flat.
ADR is a strange one, he's good in the ring, has a solid gimmick, great entrance and theme with bonus ring announcer of greatness, capable of speaking well but it doesn't seem to come together. The fans are mostly apathetic towards him even when he's at his most villainous, his promos quickly became samey, he has had tons of title opportunities in his short tenure as well as title reigns and other accolades but he still doesn't feel like a big deal.
What's missing here? the lack of properly booked feud to build character?
1st is the bolded.
2nd is several times he was supposed to win because it was his destiny and his destiny got stalled for a year. He was tossed into main events feuds very quickly and I think if he won the belt early on it's possible he might've gained more reaction.
3rd would be his character hasn't changed.
Personally I would love a Del Rio v. Ricardo + Ascensione feud.
It's even crazier in person. She's TINY, but in good shape.

there are so many names that start with O that don't make a silly phrase though. every time i read it, i hear michael cole shouting 'OH NO!' and fake laughing hysterically.
his promos are good. his ring work is good. i just don't like the name. it just seems pre designed to be made fun of. Chris Hero was silly, yes, but that was kind of the whole point of that character. i'm glad they aren't having him do the Hero act in the WWE because it would clearly end up like Hurricane 2.0.
someone who's gimmick is that they win by KO... i just think their name should sound threatening, and not something that Lawler is going to squeal in a high pitched voice whenever they're embarrassed by their opponent in the ring.
there's a good chance he'll be repackaged though, so i'm not too worried about it.

Ascensione is Ricardo's FCW stable, correct?
I would love this, too.
As great as Ricardo is, it would be so awful and tedious for them to roll out yet another redux of the 'Virgil' angle with him. They definitely need to roll with Ricardo outsmarting Del Rio and unleashing an even more evil heel stable. Frankly, I can see people getting behind Del Rio as a face. Or a Del Rio+Sin Cara face tag team.
Hero would have to start actually look threatening. The name is the least of that string bean's worries.
Sheamus is interesting that he has a unique look. He is bland with his promos (as a face) and even as a heel all he says is "I'm going to kick you in the face fella". His move-set serves him well but I wish he used the High Cross more. The Brogue kick is as interesting as the W.M.D.
Sheamus as the "Great White" makes no sense to me unless there is a shark somewhere. The Celtic Warrior was so much better.
If there is anyone that fits the bill of skinny fat-ass, it's Chris Hero
Zack Ryder was outselling Cena made jackshit of a difference, plus 'Rise Above Hate' T-shirt is still the top seller for men and women.
I want Christian's waterproof blonde version back so badly

TNA is going to outlast WWE. They are like a cockroach.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apol
hnoRight in FCW they have given him the first name of the greatest boxer and the surname of the guy above, an Olympian. Metaphorically speaking WWE has basically said he equal speed, power and charisma. Listen to Review-a-wai the Cassius promo's on their. Its a great name.
TNA is being funded by an energy co. they have practically unlimited resources.
WWE supports themselves but does a lot of useless endeavors and has completely lost touch with the best demographic they can (13-20 y/os)

not doing it for me still.
Does everyone sell like Cena in FCW?
Everyone sells like Cena in all Indies. If you think Rock and Cener kicking out of eachothers finishes is annoying. You haven't seen nothing till you go to an indy show.
13-20 year old females love WWE though. It's mainly the young males that aren't watching anymore.
Oh the irony of those same people that swear by a Davey Richards match or any Indy match for that matter and crap on Cena for no selling ...
If you want to see good selling and ring psychology look at an Ambrose/Sir William Regal match from FCW. Loved every minute of it.
Yeah, I should've specified males.
If the Producer in the back would stop switching camera angles to hide Nyomi's ass, the young males might start watching again.
Benoit/Regal from the Brian Pillman Memorial Show is the gold standard on how to build a good match.
Everyone should try and watch it at least once.
I watched a lot pre high school and then again in college. you just think you're too cool for anything when you're in high school. Its stupid but thats how it goes
Will do. Common thing ... Regal.

I walk for miles inside this pit of danger.
A place where no one follows me, I walk aloooooooooooone.
I'm sick of all these people talkin' out their heads.
I've never understood a damn thing that they said.
From words to actions never knowing what they're about.
I guess I'll have to chew them up and spit them out.
And I'll say!

Heres the Benoit/Regal match if for anyone thats interested.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh-dBoHsOXU
Benoit/Regal from a Velocity show is another great match.

He is a speed skater and an Olympian though. And that's the whole point with the name to show perfect balance between charisma, power and speed.

Dolph Ziggler is way too cool for this company. The look, the show off gimmick, the selling, the moveset, the fasttalkingwithouttakingbreathmicskills.
Give this man every title.

I'm more likely to be forgiving of no-selling and a lack of psychology if the match in question has been more entertaining, action packed and well paced that your average John Cena snooze-fest. So sure, Richads vs Elgin featured a ridiculous number of near-falls, some crazy hulking up and no-selling on Davey Richards' part and an overly-lengthy finishing sequence, but it was still the best match Mania weekend.
I won't argue with that. But the constant near-fall, spot fests do get a little grating after a while.
Davey Richards is a very talented wrestler, but he needs to tone it down a little bit imo.
AJ Styles became a better wrestler when he reined his act in.
I have to go back and watch Richards vs Elgin, the rest of the show being kinda meh brought that match down for me. I was actually looking forward to Cole vs O'Rielly and they totally fucked that one, I expected a lot more out of Briscoes vs WGTT than a standard match and Edwards vs Steen was missing something to make it more than average.
As it stands, I think my favorite match of the weekend was either Low Ki vs Pac or the Dragon Gate Six Man.

I thought Elgin "hulked up" more than Davey did... especially towards the end of the match although I gave him a pass given that his gimmick was being "unbreakable" and finding ways to take him down was largely the entire basis of the match.
Davey also seemed to be selling Elgin's offense more than I've seen him do in the past. I rather liked the ankle lock spot towards the end where both men looked exhausted and Davey was half-slumped over and barely able to keep his own balance while cinching the submission attempt in.
Del Rio is boring still even though he came in a awkward time to make a comeback.
He's boring even though he should have enough ingredients to make something good.
I think it's cause he doesn't really care or that he hasn't a clue where to go with it, or creative.
Yeah let's blame creative
