They're reportedly going to have to do a lot of editing to cut out the boos from Carey's segment.

And most of that in ring action was crud. Really, they need to do more of the wrestling and less of the 'entertaining' because by and large the 'entertainment' sucks.

Why was he even inducted anyway? Because of the RR appearance?

Same reason Snookie showed up, and that Pee Pee guy, and arguably the Rock. Column inches on sites they would not usually get talked about on, and trying to appeal to another audience (AKA WRESTLING IS BAD, MOAR ENTERTAINMENT)
Why I even bother...Linkified said:
Why do you continue to ignore the fact the Hall of Fame is such a sham? This should be something special. If they're going to half-ass the production, why even bother showing it to begin with? Let's bump someone who actually contributed to the product for someone that made a one-off appearance so he can pimp his show on HBO.
Wow, that's an extremely sad statistic. More than half of a "four hour extravaganza" devoted to promos, backstage segments and other crap.Penguin said:

Boogles my mind that Batista has only one less title reign than the almighty Taker. He was as plain as they come. . .and he has more than HBK too. Fucking hell.
Goes to show that the title has been changing very frequently over the past few years.

Batista was way over and a big draw in a 2 title era. It's not really that shocking.

Orton carried that match. That psychology was all him. Keep up the hate GAF.
In-ring wise, CM Punk has to be the most overrated wrestler ever. His only great match has been the TLC with Jeff. Oh wait, I kinda forgot you guys suck his dick thanks to his mic skills, so I get he gets a break.
Remember his feud with Mysterio last year? Wasn't that supposed to be epic according to everyone?

My only question about the Sin Cara debut is whether they'll have some sort of ramp or springboard to allow Sin Cara to do his traditional ring entrance. One of the promos WWE had for him hinted at this. I hope they do it.

If they can get a red carpet out every time butterface comes to the ring, I am sure a box would be easy task
Main Features of Raw tonight:
Randy Orton & Rey Mysterio team to battle CM Punk & Cody Rhodes
United States Champion Sheamus defends against Daniel Bryan.
John Cena calls out The Rock.
So nice that Sheamus and Bryan get to have their wresltmania match tonight. Having Snoop Dogg and Hornswaggle on the show was too important to pass up last night

Aye. It'll just be weird to think that we'll be going through that list in years to come and we'll look back and think. . .what on earth. .
Its always struck me as odd that given the many great matches he's been in, carried, the feuds he's been involved with, his deadman gimmick and his streak. . that Taker has so few heavyweight title reigns to his name. HBK too.

lawl Kurt Angle claims his twitter account was hacked and that's where the bitching about WWE using "his" moves came from? For Christ's sake, if you wake up one morning and think "hey I said something really stupid last night," then at least be a man and just say "hey sorry, what I said last night was dumb."

The truly great ones don't really need title belts.
Sometimes though, title belts need great ones to hold them, hence the runs of Ric Flair.

Nicely put. I guess he has 'The Streak' and probably therefore the longest list of 'memorable' matches anyone will ever have at Mania.

It is a bit weird, but it's pretty easy to see how it's due to a difference between eras. I mean look at the length of Sammartino and Backlund's reigns. Plus Taker and HBK weren't really the huge face of the company type draws that tend to dominate the title scene. And HBK had that long long lay-off due to injury.

BLASPHEMY!, no one talks like that to our Lord & Savior like that, you Heathen.
CM Punk at least is fucking fresh, and has the charisma, his mic skills attribute to the overall presentation and tries to put on a good show, not like Mr.Randy Boreton 5 Moves of Doom consisting of head locks, leg locks, arm locks, every fucking lock you can on a human body or the stupid faces & gorilla stomping to rile the crowd lol

Sean Michaels might have something to say about that. HHH too.
Undertaker has had more crap matches than either guy. Not his fault, but when you've got guys like Kane, (twice, both sucked) Psycho Sid, Giant Gonzales, Diesel, and Mark Henry, along with guys like Snuka, Bundy, and Roberts all on their way out to go with at Wrestlemania, you're gonna have a tough time beating those guys out.

Kane looks and sounds like a giant Kurt Angle
Man I've waited for so long for more of you guys to say this. I've said for a long time he's boring and has absolutely zero personality. You know its bad when the Bella twins and Gail Kim are more interesting than the US champion.dream said:
Everybody likes to make the Benoit comparison but it really doesn't fly. Benoit got over on his intensity, which Bryan doesn't have.
