I'm pretty sure Vince went through a phase where he thought short/single word names were the new big thing. Antonio Cesaro became Cesaro. Adrian Neville became Neville. Big E Langston became Big E. There was also that short push where they wanted to call Kofi Kingston "Wildcat".

because again, people in this thread get confused when AJ Styles has a shirt without his name in giant letters on it, so I doubt they would be able to remember a full name
It's an F according to The Official NeoGAF Wrassle Theme Gradez spreadsheet. Also "A+++" is like saying "I gave 110%" -- you disgust me.
GOOD DAY.
Neville is so dumb sounding. I remember people were making fun of that change for months.
Cesaro by it's self works well enough.
Meltzer seeing the light and giving Miz's match the grade it deserves.
definitely deserved.
now keep ziggler's momentum and elevate the mid card on smackdown, while moving miz up to the main event. sd currently has 2 faces and 1 heel in the main event picture, miz is a perfect addition.
Neville is the name you give a fat stupid British kid.
Wrong, whatever about Brodus Clay who is irredeemable, his rise to the number 1 contendership sowed the seeds for the Zayn feud in a nice way, Neville's win produced a very memorable moment and got a good match out of Bo fucking Dallas. He then played a very good straight babyface opposite Tyson Kidd who was figuring out his heel character that would get him more over than he ever was and produced a bunch of great matches including the 4 way that had everyone thinking that Tyler Breeze was an elite worker. And then yes, the Zayn feud happened with Neville transitioning from that straight babyface to the opportunist veteran champion.
He also had the best match that Finn has ever had in NXT and the best Seth Rollins match of 2015 and maybe 2016.
Is that stone cold steve austin? he's bald and I can't see his name so i'm very confused

I'm still shook over the 'Del Rio got stabbed to send Paige a message' rumors.
Oh, you mean The New Sensation?
Still wish he won King of the Ring that year so they would have had to add that to his intro.
It's Goldberg.
It's clearly Christopher Daniels.
Come on, that's obviously Ryback

It seems like they're doing one more match for this feud to end it which would be a big mistake.
Nothing they ever do is topping that match, the way all of the hair spray and spirit squad fuckery escalated, but still ended up with a clean finish was the kind of match booking the attitude era excelled at.
Brah, it clearly the great Muta

Why would New Day want to do this?
I would love to see Matt show up on Smackdown or something. The crowd is already littered with MEEKMAHAN and DELETE signs.

who wants to take the bet that a Smackdown guy will win the rumble
I just spend 1200.00 bucks on 6 royal rumble tickets...
...
They won't have a bad Rumble 4 years in a row, right?

Honestly this Rumble is guaranteed to have some pretty great moments. At the very least you'll get AJ/Nakamura

Da Demon King will be crawling down at number 30 to win despite the fact he'll already have an automatic rematch when he comes back.

Cena makes sense because once he has the WM slot he doesn't have to be there every show
I originally thought Finn would win if he's back in time but technically he's probably guaranteed a title shot anyways from never losing, so it's a matter of whether they decide to just shoot it right back to him at his first PPV

He should be number 20 and slow crawl the entire way, having like 5 new people pass him by the time he gets to the ring.
And then immediately get eliminated by Seth.
Lately?

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Cena's winning the Rumble so he can main event WM against AJ Styles to get his win back
Oh so this WoS thing is going to be an ITV2 show

I'm pretty sure they were trying to push Kalisto as the top Mexican babyface star, hence why he got the belt. And now? Well, Lucha Things plus he's injured and not with the division he could shine on.

Meltz using the IGN scale.

*** Terrible match, only for hardcore fans.
***1/2 Decent, watch if you have the time.
**** Average.
****1/2 Above average, must watch
***** Rivals a Hollywood movie.
Yeah, this is my pick.
