When is Barrett back, any way?
It's one of Cammy's moves in Street Fighter. Everyone knows that.

I've heard nothing at all, but if we assume that WM was going to have a MITB match for him to win but they abandoned it upon his injury maybe we can at least hope for a return in time for the MITB ppv, however that's just me being optimistic and hoping they still plan to give him the case and that his arm has enhanced healing capabilities.
Yeah but Barret is a heel so that would actually make sense.
While Sheamus is the new Cena, so that doesn't make sen- oh wait, if Sheamus is the new Cena, then it makes perfect sense. Vince is a genius!

WWE's stock price hit a new 52-week low of $7.75 per share on Friday. Could end up even lower. The day isn't over yet.
To be fair, that probably has more to with the entire stock market collapsing today, and erasing all 2012 gains.
BTW, Bobo, I now picture you as one of those doomsday sign guys on the street, lol.
You're a good man. A good man.

Wouldn't it be amazing if Big Show is about to beat Cena at No Way Out and then the shocking return of Wade Barrett hits the scene with new entrance music yet again except this time it doesn't suck, he storms the ring and punches through the cage with his bareknuckle brawling powers and then beats seven shades of shit out of Big Show for his disgraceful botch that broke his arm, Cena smirks in the corner only for Barrett to assault him as well.
PPV ends with Barrett standing in the ring, both hands bloodied with Cena and Show's blood. Also JR is on commentary screaming his head off.
BOOK IT!

also Kane wins WWE title after a double chokeslam to Punk and Bryan, IWC weeps.
That would be fantastic. I'm all in for a '3-time' Kane. And he'd be a transitional champion until Summerslam where Bryan beats him for the title all the way until WM29 where the Royal Rumble winner, CM Punk, defeats him in an 60 minutes iron man match.

That would actually be an awesome return, but I fear that they'll make Barrett into a cookie cutter baby face down the line, because you know the crowd's going to pop hard and Vince is going to see dollar signs because of that.

You see, it all works out in the end and Bryan gets to look like a million bucks by winning that summerslam match clean with brute force making the monster tap out.
I shudder to think what face Barrett would be like, unless they go with my suave British agent character idea and give him a heel villain to match.
But yeah it's WWE so cookie cutter face for everyone.
Going by ratings data, the safer bet would be Kane vs. Fake Kane for the WWE title.

I'm liking "White Noise" as Sheamus' new finisher, especially as I feel that most guys should have a couple of finishers in the bag to keep their opponents (and the audience) guessing. Also, any moves that lead into a pin should actually work as finishers sometimes (looking at you Kofi).
Sheamus needs to be a different kind of unstoppable Superman than Cena. Cena is annoying because he looks defeated for the entire match and then taps into the powers of Hustle, Loyalty, Respect to shrug everything off. Sheamus should just let everything hit him showing no weakness until something just breaks him, they used this during the 2/3 Falls with Bryan and it worked very well imo

Sony's is on the exact same time as Raw and could go 1-2 hours. You know HHH will be there on Raw. Cena will be all over the show. Alot of meaningless midcard matches.
Totally skipping RAW next week.

A better perspective
what the heck happened in 2002-03?
That was when the Brand Split happened wasn't it? Or was it the Invasion angle?

Brand split, loss of the WWF court case, and on 14th Oct 2002 they announced they'd make a loss: http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2002/2002_10_14.jsp
Basically a horrible year all round.

To be fair that's from an article from 2008 talking about how Punk was a loser from the indys and that Colin Delaney leaving was a big loss for the company.

Hey it's like watching two trainwrecks in stereo. Which will bomb harder, RAW's ratings or Sony's Vita showing? I expect stock drops after both occur.

Goldust was the most socially active gold-colored fictional character for the 4th month in a row. He now has more followers than Goldar, Gold Lightan, and Goldilocks combined.
