Good stuff, want to see Bret on TV again.
Also, I hope we get the laptop again for once, but right when they bring up the laptop as the GM, Edge appears and takes over the show as GM for the week.
Don't forget Eric Bischoff.
Oh and Don't forget the Survivor Series 2004 team that beat team HHH and won themselves the right to be Raw General Manager for the week:
-Maven
-Chris Jericho
-Randy Orton
-Hardcore Holly

What are you doing Edge? ...You've got the crazy eyes ...No, Stop that... brazzzrgta
Yeah, the laptop needs to come back covered in duct tape or something so they can redo that spot.
List is clearly invalid due to lack of OMB
As much as Cena was/is the man, Edge was just as important, and his impact on the b-side storylines was bigger than what Orton would wish to be.
WWE are trying to make Cena clones right now, and that's good an all since having only Cena to rely on won't do any good if he ever gets injured.
But they are forgetting on creating huge heels, like what HHH, Edge and even Jericho were.
There hasn't been news about it, but even so, I don't think he would decline to make a live appearance if he isn't busy filming or doing something else.

Just once, i'd like to see a heel grab a camera man, threaten to kick his ass if he doesn't follow him and then jump a face. Would totally explain how cameras are always there for backstage beatings.
Also, fav 5
1. Super Smash Bros. (Player Uno & Stupified)
2. Kazuchika Okada
3. El Generico
4. D.Bry
5. Kevin Steen
Don't forget Umaga and JBL.
In no way I consider Umaga on the same level as HHH, Edge and Jericho, they were the counter parts of Austin/Rock/Cena. JBL indeed is up there too.
SES/Nexus Punk could have become the top heel needed to replace the void left by Edge (and Jericho), but instead they turned him into a lame Cena clone.
Randy Orton was pretty much there, then he just kind of fell into mediocrity. But he beat Cena more than a couple of times.
Next to JBL, nobody was more important to John Cena getting over early then Umaga. That character was created solely for that purpose and he was built up for almost a year before his feud with Cena.
Edit: I thought you were talking about Huge heels putting over Cena, not Huge heels in general.

Yes, Randy would have been the natural choice, but he also went face, was that before or about the same time as Edge?
I hate how when a heel gets a good reaction by the crowds, they think, we have to turn him face and make him smile and kiss babies! Fuck that shit.
Remember when Rock went face the first time? That was a good swerve. Wouldn't be a bad idea to lure them in and then WHAM.

I just watched Raw. Terrible bar AJ antics
I hope they fined Cyndi Lauper

Being a Kane fan means having to go through years and years of frustration with occasional scraps of joy. Although, things haven't been that bad over the past few years.
In the end, though, you'll have a better sense of humor with lower expectations, which makes the few moments of joy even greater! So, try it out. There's always room for more in the Kane & AJ Kliq Alliance.
Oh right, in that aspect I do think Umaga was amazing, but yeah, was talking about a heel at the same level (or as closer) as Cena. It's weird that in the current WWE where face and heel roles are so well defined, they can't have a staple heel.
And the thing with the timing of Umaga is that it was right when Edge (and Orton too) were getting bigger and bigger by going against DX.
How come you haven't updated your avatar to last night's AJ?

It doesn't quite work out for all of us...
True, forgot about him due to Evolution's HHH.

2009 Punk was molten hot as a heel once he stopped feigning innocence in the Jeff Hardy feud.
Oddly enough, executive meddling killed a lot of his momentum that time around too.

2010 and 2011 Rumble's with him doing promos during the match have been some of the best WWE moments ever. Now we have #SnowAngels.
Next week both Jericho and Rey Mysterio should be back.

You don't want to see Sheamus vs Jericho and Mysterio vs Sin Cara?

I don't want to see anything. June has let me down. Sesame Street has more compelling storylines at this point.
Who makes bathtime fun? Rubber ducky, he's the one!

I'd tell you to still believe in the power of June but I can't even muster the strength myself any more.
Kids shows actually do have better plot, character development and leave the audience satisfied, WWE can still take me up on my Saturday morning cartoon idea from 2 months back if they want, it will be better.

Good shouts with Backlund & Slaughter, Eddie was amazing too, but much like Macho's heel runs, I always found myself siding with Eddie anyway.
I'd have to go with;
1. Terry Funk
2. Ric Flair
3. Stan Hansen
4. Ted DiBiase
5. Jake Roberts
Mr. Luchador

Bert's heel turn is going to happen any day now. He's just going to layout Ernie with a rubber ducky to the head.

1. Paul Orndorff
2. Eddie Kingston
3. Owen Hart
4. Ted DiBiase (that Virgil storyline!)
5. Shawn Michaels
I know why you're down, don't blame it all on the poor Italians, some things can't be helped.
You should just sit back, let the month end, and enjoy your fellow Irish University graduate, Stíofán Ó Fearghaile.

It is nice of WWE to find some stats they are good it, as they are shit in 90% of stats.
Lol. This post is like something a teenage girl would post on their facebook. Ellipses and everything.
Fuck, got me there.
Touch it all.
Even in the reality era the more extreme/violent/goofy characters get over much easier.
See:
Randy spaz attack.
Truth talking about lil jimmy
Rhodes wearing a mask
Bryan Yessing his way to main event.
Psycho AJ
Santino's shtick
Ziggler showing off by extreme bumping and handstands
Ricardo being Ricardo
Why is Sheamus not over? Because he got handed the belt right at WM, everyone knows that. He hadn't really earned it from a 10-15 minute match against Bryan. He is a paper champ.
Why is Punk over-ish? Because he bitched about the company, left the company and then came back. Earning the E's audiences "love." Fact is, he is riding that momentum out and it won't keep him on top forever.
Now that's not to say reality-based characters cannot get over/are bad because there are good ones such as Damien Sandow and Otunga's lawyer bit. But you can't just cut and run on half your roster when they can't get over for doing things like riding a fucking low rider bike. Or are paired with other people at random cause it seems to make sense at the time, see: Kofi.
The point is they have to find the right blend of people with personalities dialed to 11 and those who can actually play the reality role and let the characters really interact with each other.
That way I'd be more accepting of the stupid shit they pull off instead of being expected to just accept the shit they pulled with Ryder/Eve/Cena/Kane.
I never thought about doing so, actually. I may just do that, lol.
Thanks, man. SoulDashing 4ever, lol.
Thanks man, really, you're one of the best people on this whole damn board.
And thank you for continuing to shit on Punk. The work must be done.
