I hate what they have done with Brock. Mark Henry is in much better shape than the freaking Big Show and in my opinion would make a much more interesting opponent but what does the WWE do? Have Brock destroy Mark and then all of a sudden he is scared to death of the Big Show who he has broke in half before... it makes no sense to me [youtube]http://youtu.be/S8pOB8p2mDY[/youtube]
Agreed, they should have Henry and Show switch roles, especially since they could play on their backgrounds as non-WWE athletes.
Totally agree. Whenever a babyface wins the title, especially an underdog character it's good to give him a satisfying enough reign where he actually successfully defends it against some heel threats but then lose the title by nefarious means so he can go back to chasing because he's been screwed. They should've done that with Bryan but they kinda fast forwarded it with the Money in the Bank Orton cash-in and then the subsequent screwjob matches.
A Pro Wrestling Themed Rap Battle. Tons of hilarious references, too many to name. The Santino Reference though LOL:grin: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qjaCiQeNfeA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I still think the belt means a lot but I'm also in favor of longer title runs (Punk 1yr+ and Miz 6 months) as long as they still held great matches and represented the company well as the face of the company. Orton holding the title to WM would be an appropriate way to end it and a successful title run in my opinion. Bryan and their 4-5 month fued culminating in Bryan getting the belt and a well earned lengthy title run not another 1 week Dolph Ziggler gag. I can't think of a better way to end then for Bryan as champ. No one has been this hot since Cena was red hot in 2005. Not even sure if Cena was this over. I don't think Bryan cools for a while with his move set and quality of matches every single week has been far superior to what Cena can even dream doing in a match. Imagine Reigns/Ambrose, Punk, Lesnar, Orton, Del Rio fueds
I thought this weeks raw wasn't up to par compared to the last 2-4 weeks. Also for anyone who misses a wwe raw/smack down or PPV, this is a great website which archives all the shows. Great quality and doesn't have ads everywhere http://watchwrestling.tv/home/

Anyone else think the Rumble match is extremely overrated? I mean 90% of the time the guys that the camera isn't focusing on are just laying on the mat after getting hit like twice. To me its just a disaster, and they should make it a little more believable but hey it serves a purpose and people love it apparently.
Gonna have to disagree with you there. While the actual work going on in the ring is nothing special, usually just guys leaning on the ropes or throwing wild punches. The selling point of the rumble is the anticipation that the next guy could be anyone, the handful of spots that are thrown in, and the numerous storylines that play out during the match. All together it usually makes the whole hour or so very compelling. Not to mention the WWE title shot, although the option for the B-Title has killed a little of the excitement in recent years.
Love the Rumble. I usually order it + Mania on PPV. It takes a really special feud/card to order any other PPV. I think the last non Rumble/Mania PPV I purchased was the Money in the Bank in Chicago. IMO, the '92 Rumble is still the greatest of ALL TIME. 92 had all of the GOATs, a great ending, WWF Championship on the line, Flair winning his first WWF Championship, the GOAT commentary (Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon), and perhaps the greatest victory celebration of all time: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KVaPb24VJWo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Unfortunately, things got screwed up and we never got Flair/Hogan at Wrestlemania VIII. Savage/Flair was a great feud and great match, but Flair/Hogan was the matchup everyone wanted.
its just kind of a slap in the face when I see Kane laying on the mat for 5+ minutes after he gets whipped into the corner and punched twice. plus I just can't stand more than 4 guys in a ring at time... its to chaotic but like I said it serves a purpose so I get it. Can we all be honest the best part of the Rumble is you get to see 30 different entrances and maybe a few are surprises... other than that its just an hour long Clusterf**k
Any links besides first row sports? It says I need to download some plug in to watch. I've never had this problem before.
