WCW booking Eddie/otani in an even match as the tiebreaker is pretty much perfect
Babyface Triple H?
That's why Rollins isn't close to Edge's level. Mic level is so far apart.

It would be nice if the company didn't
you know
need horrible injuries, or plans going awry because of shit fans, in order to realize mistakes and change course

I listened to the Observer Live and Dave said that they're having to re-do plans for Mania but nothing about the matches. Its a free show you can listen to from the site, so am I crazy or what?

It was a subscriber thing, not free. Might have been a text post and not audio, he puts out a lot of shit and sometimes I forget what came from where on the site
Funnier note: Russo thinks they should have the tournament done on Raw
1 Raw
Anyone else notice how the past three WrestleManias would've been absolutely shit if they all panned out the way Vince wanted them to?
One could argue that 28 and 29 should have had a greater focus on building punk.

Hey folks so after my first ever live WWE event, I want to report back on my impressions. It was in Glasgow, Scotland, and from what I could tell was a decent show with a very enthusiastic crowd (including me).
As the night began I noticed something - most of the crowd consisted of parents with their children. Really bored parents. To be honest, a few kind of shitty parents. Then again, during the show, most of the reactions were coming from children. I played along, having a fun time cheering Roman with the kids, or booing Stardust, etc, etc, - but I realised
In a very real way, this is children's entertainment. Roman is a perfect example - every kid in the arena was behind him, just to see his comic book moves. It's actually got nothing to do with me. Brock, in a way, is actully gross, because this is children's entertainment and he is a concession to the grown men who continue to ignore that fact. It's a fun night out every once in a while, but the obsession we've displayed in this thread is misguided, I think. This is a children's tv show.
Basically, friends, I'm out of wrestling. I had a great time with it tonight, but I now see it the same way as I see Spongebob Squarepants. See ya.

No way rock was doing mania this year.especially against Brock.
Brock should be in the title match at mania.

Plus Brock/Rock could be great
Brock rock was the plan for 30 but rock tore every muscle off the bone at 29

But how can it be children's entertainment if the average raw viewer is around 40?

Brock/Rock at Mania is like Bryan/Sheamus at Mania: as long as both people are healthy and fans aren't brats, it's going to happen eventually. Might as well get it over with

how can children's anime be adult entertainment if the average viewer weight is 581lbs?
i think we can all figure this out on our own.

i really did have fun, but it has fundamentally shifted the way i look at WWE. this is a kids show. i'm gonna dive in for kid level adventures. no more fantasy booking, it's horrifically embarrasing, also, this is a really right wing and corporate endeavour on top of all that, so it's kinda skeevey even.

The green son of bitch will never be ready. I'm more ready than him. As far as I'm concerned he should take off the big Bossman cosplay and put on a pair of Brian Kendrick's shorts and jove with the Uso's.
It doesn't matter the average age as long as there's a component of the audience that will grow into 40 year olds.
WWE is trying to avoid being the comic industry, which is the snake eating its own tail.

I don't even want to imagine what they must have offered Rock to take on Brock. He tore his muscle off his bone in a match against John "gently set you down for an AA" Cena. Brock's offense consists of throwing people around like ragdolls. Granted, it would be an awesome visual with how ridiculously jacked Rock is nowadays, but it seems like a such bad idea for the man's well-being.
Also, was the idea that Seth would go into 'Mania as this absolutely loathsome heel champion for the heroic Triple H to finally rid us of in front of the largest crowd ever?
Honestly, they should just go with a Brock/Roman rematch. Last year's match was great in spite of the shit build, and Roman's improved dramatically as a wrestler this year and is secretly an in-ring MVP of the company (In what has been, admittedly, a pretty down year for WWE in terms of quality matches). Have Lesnar win the Rumble, have Roman go in as champ after beating the piss out of Sheamus at the Royal Rumble, set up a story where Roman has to prove that he really is the man against the conqueror, the man who gave him such a thorough ass-whooping just a year ago.
Complement that with Rock/HHH and Cena/Undertaker, and you have yourself a quality marquee.

Needs a square devoted to overlong lists of pay per views with disembodied scores.
Also: X got berried it's John Cena's fault.

It's so weird that Starrcade 95 ends with a credit scroll that acknowledges all of the people behind the scenes.

Edge is something else. The "I Hate You" segment with Cena on The Cutting Edge is another favorite.
