If you're doing really well, it seems you can do no wrong. You can put on a ton of bad shows and still do great business.
If you're doing very poorly, you can seemingly do no right.

I wasn't able to fit the Willie Mack farewell speech on the N3 DVD, so I will put that on Youtube for everyone to see.

Willie Mack needs more love and should be a part of the Steen/Devitt/Neville/Zayn/KENTA crew.

I know your account if a work, but I'll be damned if you haven't worked me good today. I've gotten all worked into a shoot. Brother.
Cena is such an asshole.
Does anyone else refuse to believe that a guy with Cena's popularity, longevity, and position in the company has ZERO say in what his character does, who he faces, and who he goes over on? I just can't buy this "He just does what he's told" bullshit.
Due to a pretty rough hang over (the pukey kind, not the headache kind), the only place I could take solace was out on the patio in the dark. Flipped around and found Impact. What a terrible show. It looks like a VICE documentary or a wrestling show as presented in a movie. It looks like Exposed! Pro Wrestling's Greatest Secrets.
The fans are terrible. The wrestlers look terrible. Joe was embarrassing. Tenay and Taz are worse than I remember. Terrible promos. Anderson is worse than ever. Even the commercials are low rent. 5 ITT Tech ads. A custom t-shirt shop ad. A hunting jacket ad. Impact has the same ads in prime time that judge shows get at 10AM. I can see why Spike doesn't want them. It's an embarrassment to a network that pioneered such shows as 1000 Ways To Die, 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty, Auction Hunters, Ink Master, Jail.
This isn't even getting into how MASSIVE of goobers the Wolves look, act, and sound like.

Yeah and then WWE 6 months later tried to make people forget who Bryan beat originally for the belt. And then Vince couldn't go more than a week without feeding people to almighty Super Cena again.
Davey Richards definitely comes across as a vanilla midget in promos, but I still like The Wolves for their ability in the ring.
And the presentation of tonight's show is pretty depressing.
You really didn't like the Joe/Aries match? Weird.
Did you get to the EC3 and Spud promo?
As long as I've watched Spike that has been their ads for everything besides RAW when they had it, Ultimate Fighter/UFC stuff too. iMPACT has had that level of ads its entire time, so does all of its other prime time shows.

Cena has done more to elevate talent in the WWE than any other WWE title holder. More than Lesnar, Bryan, Orton, and Punk. Cena got the Yes chant over. Cena got Zack Ryder a US title run and more TV time. Cena elevated the the Divas division by appearing on Total Divas.
Name any other WWE champion that has done more for others than Cena.
That match was garbage. Zero effort from either guy. Joe was pathetically gassed out. The EC3/Spud thing has been done a million times and the crowd didn't care. EC3 wasn't funny at all with his funny zingers.

I said he's God's gosh dang gift to this business!
Damn. You're a tough man to please, stro. But to each their own.
I will say that the depressing crowd tonight has really had a negative effect on the show. All of the darkness in the background is probably enough to make people want to change the channel.
She does look like Mollly Shannon on Bane's Venom though.

Yeah, I'm gonna trust your judgement as to whether or not a worked fight is sloppy and reckless.
Because you would know.
Much better than the last one.

Okay, friend.
It's obvious that your heart still belongs to the Sination. Your avatar betrayalton stings a bit less.
Glad to see that you're still on the right side of history :')
I would only agree with this

John Cena and Stone Cold Steve Austin have a lot in common. Austin respects the s**** out of Cena. That's speaks volumes to a fan like me.

I don't think cena has much say in how he's booked because he doesn't really care how he is booked as long as he is a bland baby face muscleman. I think he is willing to put over a guy like Ambrose. He seems to put over other faces he is booked with. The Rock, Bryan, HHH in 2008, Batista in 2008. I don't think they like to book him with bad triumphing over good. Take wyatt and most other heels he has been booked with for instance. A lot of punks wins are somewhat tainted due to him being a tweener. Lesnar is an exception due to his status.
cena will put over talent cleanly as long as they are faces.

You know, I used to think John Cena was more of a successor to The Rock, what with the Five Knuckle Shuffle being a clear homage to the People's Elbow. But now I'm finally realizing that he veers more towards Steve Austin. I mean, what is John Cena but the Stone Cold character reimagined for this Post Benoit PG world?
It's like Stone Cold never left.
If your dream match was Austin vs. Punk, I've got good news for you, you've already got it, and brother it was amazing!

Eh, I disagree. We got a good match between Low Ki and MVP, and a fun match between Aries and Knux last week. It was kind of bland otherwise, though.
This episode was just a 5/10 for me. I enjoyed a fair amount of stuff on it...
-Joe vs. Aries
-Gail and Havok story and matches
-Roode and Lashley segment
-EC3 and Spud segment
-Wolves/Hardys/3D
And then there was some okay-to-bad stuff like...
-MVP vs. Anderson
-James Storm stable segment
-EY vs. EC3
Sounds a lot better when I type it out, but I'd say the tag title series stuff should probably be under the "okay" section.

Since friend bean breath is on the subject of Stone Cold, I'm going to take this time to state that Glass Shatters is the greatest entrance theme ever.

Want to know a guaranteed method for spotting a gimmick poster? Ask them who they sided with during the Austin-McMahon feud. If they say Vince McMahon...
