Just have him take on the Mil Mascaras persona in some way. Enough is enough with the same old "I'm a rich/mexican guy" gimmick.
He hasn't had a refreshment since he's came in the company, or even a hint of a persona since his Edge feud almost three years ago. They just send him out there and wrestle. No significant storylines, either. You'd expect them to make up something for somebody who was holding a WHC.
 
This Fandango backstage segment on Main Event is great, "Isabella... you're not even a real journalism". Seek it out.

Now Heath on commentary, Main Event is awesome.

Thanks to the WWE Network, I can finally watch the Smackdown episode where Christopher Lambert meets Gangrel! Woo hoo!

His peak was when he destroyed Ziggler in that PPV last year (?). Gave him a bit of an edge. And him losing Ricardo really crippled him. Ricardo was the best.

This means I can watch RoboCop save Sting

What about the debut of the Yet-ay!

RoboCop and WCW exist in the same universe, which means RoboCop and WWE share the same universe.

We need ADR to drive up to the ring in a 6000 SUX.

That'd be great.


If WWE doesn't do something to promote the new Robocop movie i'll be severely dissapointed
 
Man. I'm down as fuck for the WWE Network. I can use my tablet to watch them, so then i can cancel hulu plus. Nexus7 access (and mostly NXT these days) and criterion collection stuff are the only reasons i have it, really.
 
The best thing about the Robocop remake is that we're getting a proper 4K restoration of the original Robocop on Blu-Ray this month.

Similarly, this was the best thing about the slick mediocre reboot of another Verhoeven sci-fi classic, Total Recall, last year.

The Observer's summary:

It's official -- the WWE Network is coming, set to launch on Monday, February 24th. The world's largest pro wrestling organization made the presentation Wednesday night at the annual CES event in Las Vegas, NV.

Here are the big highlights:

- The network will be $9.99/month with a six-month commitment. Fans can sign up for a one-week free trial starting on Feb. 24th at 9 AM EST. It officially launches with the RAW post-show at 11:05 PM EST that night.

- All 12 WWE pay-per-views will move to the network, starting with Wrestlemania 30.

- All past WWE, WCW, and ECW pay-per-views will be available on-demand.

- The network will feature original shows like Legend House (reality show featuring retired wrestlers), Wrestlemania Rewind (looking back at specific matches), Countdown (a rankings/list-style show), Monday Night War: WWE vs. WCW, and more. Legends House begins in April.

- NXT and Superstars will be on the network.

- 30-minute pre and post shows for RAW and Smackdown will be part of the network, and a daily live studio show will also launch.

- In total, over 1500 hours of video on demand will be available at launch, including encore airings of RAW, Smackdown, and Main Events. Classic matches "uncut and uncensored" will also be available.

- The network will be available on all devices like PS3, Xbox 360, Roku, smartphones, desktops, laptops, and more. Coming soon: Xbox One, select smart TVs and more.

- Using the WWE app, fans will have access to a second screen experience for live events and original shows.

- MLB Advanced Media will help power the network, including video stream infrastructure, app development and operational support.

- The network will not immediately be available around the world, and is scheduled to launch in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Nordics by the end of 2014 to early 2015.

The presentation featured Steve Austin, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Shawn Michaels, Michael Cole, and several key office personnel discussing the Network. Social media reaction was extremely positive, and the overwhelming consensus was that the network already blows the UFC Fight Pass offering in its current state away.

Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez are in Las Vegas and attended the presentation. Tune into Wrestling Observer Radio later tonight for more insight and details.


This thing would have been such a disaster as a cable network, but this Wrestleflix version, this works.
