So apparently Vinny Mac has joined twitter. Found this in the comments on the reddit post:
Vince web chat from 1998
Makes CrankyVince more plausible if you ask me.
edit: Holy crap at Vince's response to being asked if he was going to expand the Light Heavyweight division:

Fitting, as Lady Liberty is out of action almost as much as The Rock

I'm addicted to watching all these WWE documentaries at night before bed.
Just about finished watching "The Triumph and Tragedy of World Class Championship Wrestling"... which is just a huge pile of sadness because of the Von Erich family.
Edit: Holy shit, I had no idea that Kerry von Erich wreslted with a prosthetic foot.
Edit 2: These last like 20 minutes are fucking depressing. Jesus
It is depressing, but also REALLY good. If you don't become a fan of Gary Hart and/or Jimmy Garvin after it, you have no soul.

Hulk Hogan vs Sid Vicious (WM 8)

Hogan vs Yokozuna, I just hated the way it happened. Yoko destroys Bret and takes his title, setting up a feud culminating in a rematch a year later, and then he gets demolished by Hogan in 22 seconds for no good reason other than to have a babyface winning at the end of the show? Fuck off.
Negative, Miz has no star power.
That match was the drizzling shits, though, and it was mostly Cena's fault. I don't care if he felt hard done by because of The Rock's involvement, he can have no excuses for the most lacklustre, disinterested performance I have ever seen in a WrestleMania main event. Cena probably did more to damage Miz's career with this match than Miz ever could.

Miz carried Alex Riley into an actual WWE career!
Miz has more WM main events than CM Punk. He even won too!
I think its about time he gets some respect.

Here's another question for you guys...since reaching the top of this industry just under 8 years ago, who would you say that Cena has most helped to elevate?
I'm drawing a blank, other than Big Dave, and he's not around any more.
Yeah, and fat chance of him ever getting another.

Yeah, really bonehead decision by Vince.
That opening match between Owen and Bret was fantastic, even having Owen going over. But even with Yoko's size, he still put up good matches. I liked his stuff with Bret a lot. The ending putting the title on Hogan, who was leaving months later, made no sense still.
Also there was a time they had an opportunity to put the title on Owen but obviously never happened. SummerSlam would've been that chance.
Miz is also undefeated at WrestleMania.

I'm not sure Cena elevated Dave as much as Evolution did - pairing him with Flair and Trips did wonders for his career. It definitely peaked with Cena, though, and full-on Brotista.
He did help elevate Edge was was part of his Ultimate Opportunist label. Also RVD. Maybe not
Looking back on this, he laid down for Edge a LOT.

Its Punk. Not Cena's fault the Summer of Punk ended up failing in the most WWE way possible.

Feel like I've booked myself into a corner.
Scott Steiner & Booker T ended their program.
Goldberg started one with Scott Steiner.
WCW Champion Booker T has no one to naturally feud with. :\

I would say he helped Edge and Punk the most. Both guys though were already very over anyway without his help though. Edge caught fire for sleeping with Lita and Punk was for the promo. Cena helped them out though.

Oh yeah! Totally forgot it was Edge sleeping with Matt Hardy's girlfriend that got him a push! haha class.

I had pretty much forgotten how much Cena worked with Edge, due to not regularly watching at that time - his wins over Cena were definitely a big part of his stardom, but I always felt the matches with Undertaker were what cemented him as a top star, at least in my eyes.
Similarly, Cena was the catalyst for Punk's recent stardom and the object of 'that promo', but I feel that Punk's star was already made by the feud with Jeff, it's just that WWE didn't have anything good for him to follow up with - of course, the lacklustre usage of Punk was what led to his dissatisfaction and the promo that sparked his popularity, so perhaps it wasn't much of a bad thing.
Sounds like you need a no.1 contender's tournament to find a new opponent for Booker.

I think cena had helped Orton to get over
I think WWE's relentlessness to not fail with their Orton experiment helped a great deal as well.
I mean Raw with Evolution
Smackdown with Taker

End of the ROH show sounds like a huge cluterfuck. Was it executed better in person than it was explained on the review sites?

Jaekwon will never abandon the GWF
However perhaps there should be a Loser Leaves Town match between Jaekwon15 and Carnby

I hate to be a debbie downer but WM29 is not exciting me at all.
Even if Punk was in the main event with Rock and Cena I'd still say meh.
Help me get excited, GAF.

If Carnby does enter GWF, make sure he is modeled after the Carnby from Alone In the Dark 2. The best version of Carnby ever! And make sure his music sounds like something from part 2.
If you haven't played Alone 2, play it! It is the Troll 2 of video games. Name another game where you beat up a drunk man in his underwear, who may or may not be flirting with you, so that you can steal his Santa suit, so that you can wear it to sneak into a mansion of immortal pirates. The pirates don't mind if they see Santa walking around their mansion.
Edit: Actually THIS should be his theme song!

I've been thinking about it for a while now, and this is the truth. The day HBK retired, Wrestlemania died a bit for me.

It's incredible how obvious it was that Cena just gave no shits, contrasted with Miz actually trying to the best of his limited ability, I felt pretty bad for Miz and he was the supposed winner of the match but instead came out a greater loser in the grand scheme of things.
Well the possible undercard has the potential to be okay if the matches don't get shortchanged in favour of concerts, advertising, skits and long main eventer entrances....okay so they're already doomed.I hate to be a debbie downer but WM29 is not exciting me at all.
Even if Punk was in the main event with Rock and Cena I'd still say meh.
Help me get excited, GAF.

It's hard to get excited when you consider the last few Manias have been poo.

We should just start building up hype to Extreme Rules, the event where WM rematches tend to be superior and have gimmicks.
