Yes. It just looks worse when you shrink back down.

Yeah, sure. Bryan got a "real push". Just like Rey got a "real push" when he won the world title. Just like Benoit got a "real push" when he won the world title. They gave Bryan one amazing night, and then booked him like absolute dog shit and made him look terrible. That wasn't an accident. His whole reign was a setup to get fed to Lesnar. Bryan got a push last year, but he did not get the "this is our top guy" push.
No joke, thing I'm looking forward to most in the NOAH invasion storyline. All the NOAH faces beat down by Suzuki-gun. and then heel Morshima hits the ring.
Backdrop drivers for Taka, Taichi, Archer and Suzuki just barely gets out of the ring. Morishima vs Suzuki.
The 'heel comes out to stop the heel' aka 'nobody bullies my promotion but me' is like my favorite wrestling trope ever.

Anyone prefer the Sherri version of shawns theme?
What's a real push? And how many get one?
A push where they are portrayed as being a legit top guy.

Undercard was a step down from Revolution, and the last three were the best matches they've put on so far.

I'm a third of the way through this Gary Hart book and I'm totally hooked. Some dope stories in here.

Orton, Batista, Sheamus, Cena, Reigns at the moment, Triple H. There are others, but you get the idea. There is "we are pushing this guy but we don't believe in him" and "we want this guy to be the biggest thing ever". Few guys get the big push, but that's kind of the point. That's what makes it special.

Think about it, why didn't they repackage Finn Balor?
It was good. The only stinker was the tag match with Lucha Dragons and Wub Dub Club, but other than that it was a good event.
They'll try to convince you that Triple H deserves a whole smoked ham sent to him, but I'd say a half ham at best. He can make his own glaze, too.

But he didn't kill fitty men!
Any reason they can't market Finn Balor like Jeff Hardy? I mean, he's not a meth head and a far better wrestler. The other stuff I think Jeff set as a precedent, no reason it wouldn't work on the main roster. How liberal will they let him be with the face paint and costume. You know if came out with a joker inspired get up like he did before the crowd would mark out big time. I know there are licenses to consider.

That shit about the ham cracks me up. Like Triple H gives a fuck about a fuckin' ham. He can go eat anything he wants. Fuckin' clown town over there.
Right now Roman seems like the type of guy who will end up handing the title to Cena again once Vince panics because Roman doesn't instantly bring in buys.
Every day I pray this happens between Suzuki-gun and Bullet Club and it ends with Suzuki winning the IWGP title from AJ.
Very good. Undercard matches were weak, but the top three matches were all great and the opener was good. R Evolution was better but this was still good.
Mysterio dressed up as comic book characters at Mania every year. No reason Balor couldn't if he wanted to.
The Demon Balor you see on NXT is what's going to be marketed and pitched as his "final form". I wouldn't be surprised if we end up seeing Balor come out more as Venom or Carnage or Joker at some point down the line as a one-off thing to get a pop. He can do that stuff so long as WWE doesn't try to market/profit off of it - it would be no different than Rey Mysterio going to Wrestlemania dressed as Joker/Captain America/Na'vi

Rey has come out with Captain America, Joker and probably more costumes I'm forgetting.
Balor vs. Owens at WM, and Balor comes out as the Joker.
You'll never catch up on anime cooking channel shenanigans! Give up.

What makes an elite Wrestling-GAF poster?
I discussed this earlier, but I'd like to see Suzuki win the IWGP and GHC title in the same year.
Doubt it though because he's not Okada.

Who else is going to Wrestlemania this year?

Edge never really did. They gave him the title off MITB, then immediately took it off of him. They only went back to him later in the year because they needed someone to cost Cena the belt to RVD at ONS because they didn't want RVD winning clean. Then they gave Smackdown to Edge for a long while. But he was never "the" guy.
RVD? No. lol
Hardy is arguable. Every time they thought about it, they got cold feet because of his drug issues. No one can really blame them on that one though. I'd love to see him get another shot now that he is clean.
Bryan? No, for all the reasons I stated earlier.
The rest you can argue did, or be certain they did.
train hard and stay off the juice
I noticed something about this list
Active & still in main event picture - 3
Active & out of main event picture - 2
Part time - 2 (including the current champ)
No longer with WWE - 5 (6 if you count Rock, Brock is about to rejoin this list to make 7)
Retired - 1
Man, being WWE champ these days seems more like a kiss of death. You either leave the company or if you stay active you end up getting a prolonged injury.

I could get tickets but I don't know if I want to go. I feel like I should because it'll probably be the last time I get to see Brock, Undertaker, and Sting live, but the card really isn't doing it for me.

Cross-Community OT Appeal. If you're not a Heel or a Dream, Sunny Mac will never push you to Main Event status.
That's why John Cena is the man. Dude can take the mountain of shit.

The card is questionable, but we still have a little more than a month away til the event. Knowing the WWE, there will probably be a few last minute changes.

Makes you thankful for John Cena.
After the video they played 300 times on RAW, I'm guessing he's gonna come back more Ginger and Irish than ever. He'll probably have a forest of ginger pubes sprouting out of his pants and a Mr. T Haircut.
Talking of Mr. T, Roddy Piper sure gets away with a lot of racist cheap shots during his feud with Mr. T.
