If he doesn't you should have an AJ-Shaming avatar.
God damn it, Aiii.
Not taking this bait, I'd sooner bet on Cena turning Heel or Rhodes Scholars besting Team Funk.
No Sun, not making those either damnit!

Cena will remain a face, Punk will lose via pinfall/submission. Anyone wants to bet against that, let me know.

It's the WWE. It's...
Coming soon from WWE Entertainment: The Rise and Fall of Rome
Regardless, something needs to happen to SWERVE us.
So that means one of these logically will actually happen:
1. Dolph cashes in his briefcase succesfully.
2. Brock legit retires Triple H.
3. Punk beats Taker.
4. Rock beats Cena again or Cena wins by turning Heel.
I don't believe for a second they'll go with the logical predicted outcome for all of these, that would be very un-WWE-like.

Dolph will NOT cash in and win at Mania. Add that to the Bet List.

I want COO HHH segments where he goes to superstars homes that are letting down the company and puts them on the straightened path.

So this makes me wonder why the WWE has not yet done a Trish Stratus DVD? Lots of great matches, gimmicks, and feuds. I mean honestly I'd rather have a good Trish one over another HHH one. Make this happen E'
agreed, they're
already advertising
Del Rio vs. Swagger Title Matches for the European Smackdown WrestleMania Revenge Tour, while AJ and Ziggler are advertised for Raw shows. Which is fine by me, since I'm going to the Raw tour and I already missed out on them last year when I went to the Smackdown one

These were good times. Legacy/HHH feud was white hot.
No, he did a promo on Smackdown (Heyman did), which was amazing in which he explained that Triple H will start growing more and more resenting of current wrestlers when he has to watch them from his COO position without being able to wrestle himself, thus consuming himself in hatred and being unable to do his job after that, ruining his life.
It's a great promo, try and find it and check it out.
Ooooooh okay. Thanks!
Well, Vince like to change his mind at the drop of a hat, soooo
I went to the RAW Live tour last November, got to see AJ actually wrestle, and in fact win the Divas title (for a moment). Fun stuff. AJ/Layla are absurdly hot in person (I was just about ringside).
Yeah I was disappointed that didn't get some form of replay on Raw. They shouldn't let quality like that go unviewed on the B show. I was also kind of surprised there wasn't any sign of an interaction between Cena and Laurinitis. I guess that would telegraph a potential heel turn too much, but it would be even weirder if his appearance on Smackdown was just a one off.
Yeah, we got Kaitlyn vs Natalya, which also wasn't bad mind you. But missing out on AJ twice would break my spirit. It's not like we get that many chances on seeing wrestlers over here.
Now that I've been reminded of that, I must go back and look over the pictures I got from that show (not just the Divas, the whole show). Seem to remember I got an awesome one of Sandow on the ropes.
The best part about the house show I went to was that they had a stipulation in the Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk match. The crowd got to vote for 2/3 falls or street fight. Well, they only really mentioned it once before the show when there weren't many people there yet and I voted for 2/3 falls which ended up being the match. The majority of the crowd boo'd it. It was great.

Finishing up the last two CHIKARA shows released, really enjoyed Jakob Hammermeier vs Mr. Touchdown from the Tampa show, Jakob's improving a lot and Touchdown remains awesome. The 3.0 vs Devastation Corporation tag title match was good fun, even if I'm not the biggest fan of 3.0, but I wasn't all the impressed with Kingston vs Amazing Kong. King's backfist is so bad these days and he didn't hit the Sliding D all that well here either. The reason Masato Tanaka makes it look awesome is because of his precision, with King often shows none of. Also, he wasn't at the Orlando show the next night because he got drunk and punched through a mirror, slicing up his hand.
Jakob's KO punch;
Freaky agility from the 6 foot 5 Blaster McMassive;
*edit, happy b-day Penguin!

Killer app.
I had not heard that. I think everyone suspected he got injured in the match with Kong. Eddie Kingston probably won't be the champ for long if that continues.
Also, that dive Blaster McMassive did in the big main event in Orlando was awesome.

Yeah, can't imagine Quack being too happy about that. Kingston mentioned it in this interview with Homicide, where Homicide's talking about how this'll apparently be his last year in wrestling;

Mr. Sandman said:
I haven't got round to watching the second half of that show yet, but I'll gif Blaster's dive when I do.

It's what Kelly Kelly was afraid of when running the ropes. So she never did it.
Dutch Mantell doesn't mess around.
Just tried, the animation is crap, the sound effects awful and Rock's mouth doesn't even move as they play his catchphrase soundbites. Looks to be an Infinity Blade clone.

First of all, congrats to Aiii for the WM thread.
And now, I had insomnia, so I watched The Streak DVD on Netflix. They really open up the possibility of the streak ending after 20-0.
If it wasn't for the RAW ending last night, I would believe Punk would break the streak

I wonder how many of those were caused by that broken crutch Zeb was using? It looked like Del Rio's back caught the edge of the broken crutch a few too many times.

Maybe it's because I just watched the promo for Austin/Rock at WrestleMania 17 and am watching that match right now on the WrestleMania stream, but I can't let go of the idea of Cena turning because he's as obsessed as Austin was.
The problem is that is it very hard to take the Cena character very seriously. Also all the talk coming out of the dirtsheets are around how badly Cena will be booed makes me think that Cena won't turn but who knows.

The Cena and Rock promos both fed into and played off of the crowd hatred for Cena, which was interesting. Who knows what, if anything, will come of that, but it was certainly evident at 8pm and 10pm last night.
I just don't want Cena to get a clean face win and continue his "Year of Cena" thing. In fact I think nobody wants to see a year of Cena dominance.
Y'know the one thing that might backfire about a Cena heel turn? WWE would turn him heel since he gets plenty of boos already, turning him heel might end up getting him cheered.

I don't know guys. Big Jonny coming back "Cena was why I left and Cena is why I'm back," Cena breaking down for "the first time," admitting the Rock never beat Cena, Cena beat Cena, Cena's "I'll win at any cost" mentality, announcers and Cena alike gradually, finally acknowledging more and more the anti-Cena chants.. I really think he's prepping for his turn and is truly entering this match with being a heel in mind. The Rock is after all, super baby face with the crowd.
edit: Cena and Punk should be a heel mega duo/tag team, so smarks can cry.
