AJ vs Shane is definitely a strange choice for both guys.
AJ is a heel who is over as a face and Shane is a face GM who is less over than he was upon return now that the shine is off. Shane hasn't really had any storyline involvement in months either.
So the crowd is gonna be split but probably in favour of AJ.
AJ has maybe 2 or 3 more WMs in him, also. His first one was nothing, and this one might end up being nothing, too. He will probably never be in the WM main event but he should be having a 30 minute match in the semi against somebody almost as good as he is.
Shane could have been put against Miz. Miz gets actual heat and people would love to see him embarrassed by Shane. The whole thing with Miz is he's a bad wrestler despite his ego, that could've worked. Imagine Miz cheating to get the better of Shane, leading to a DB run in and interference. Could've worked pretty well.
Another strange point about it is - AJ is known to the hardcore fans, who will not want to see him wrestle Shane very much, and Shane is known to the lapsed fans and casual fans, who will either not know who AJ is or not particularly care. They kind of cancel out each other's audience.
I think Vince and the others overthink this stuff. Why isn't Cena fighting Undertaker, either? Why did Charlotte lose her PPV streak a few weeks before WM? There's a lot of counter-intuitive stuff they do and I couldn't guess why.

Yeah, watched the second day of the UK Tournament as well. Some damn good stuff on show there. Also god, Cole is a lot more bearable when he's able to do his own thing.
If I had to pick a personal favourite, it'd probably be Mark Andrews. I do love my flippy shit after all.

No, no. I consider that one bad. The new one is good though.

This is probably one of the best Vince McMahon stories ever. It involves Little Spike Dudley and his need for weed.

Why was he even there though?
You were shook when you saw him, in fear of being put on the list.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
He does it because the contingent of people who think Punk is an asshole eat it up.

Suck it down, Tall4Life.
"Certainly didn't happen in the WWF," he said. "Maybe in WCW," he said.
Hmph!
