Wrestling is just getting stupid, Shawn michaels beating Batista? Ridiculous. Ive never understood why when a person becomes a sort of bad guy he automatically becomes less strong. Heck ive seen batista kick out of a last ride, a pedigree and in the hell in a cell match against undertaker, a tombstone( It took a tombstone on the teps to finish im).
On the other hand shawn michaels cant kick out of a puny RKO, or evn an FU. He was almost put out by rick flair at wretlemania and yet he can beat Batista. Heck on RAW, he evn lost 2 freakin Rey mysterio. And yet he beats Batista what garbage

most of the dvds of specific suprestars have them talking about themselves. its rare to find any that wont. i think mick foley is the main one. to be honest though, i dont mind hearing it. its nice to see how they made of it and not what everyone else thnks what the wrestler made of it.
i know, i just find it funny because of the way it was plugged on television.
"now, for the first time ever, the game talks about the evolution of... THE KING!"
it made me lol.
moreover i can't help but feel that triple h is a self proclaimed legend. in my opinion, he's a decent in ring worker (relatively repetitive) and he can work the mic well but, he's nothing special. most smarks, that i know, agree.
again, that's just my opinion.
HHH has pretty decent in ring skill but your comment about him being repetitive is something that I have a problem with most of the wwe wrestlers/matches. The matches fall into the same groove and the wrestlers are booked to use the same signature moves in every match. That is one thing I like about TNA their match formula is more unpredictable and it allows for the characters to use more of a variety of moves.
Am I the only one that has noticed that in real life the undertaker is getting weaker. Evrytime he wants to use the last ride he seems to always have to be receiving punches against the turnbuckle. I knew that he could not lift up guys like batista and brock lesnar for the last ride and thats why anytime he used the move on them they were always punching him while on top the turnbuckle but at wrestlemania the same thing was done against edge who is not that heavy.
Frankly nowadays its seems that the undertaker cant lift any of the evn mid class heavyweight wrestlers and therefore it has to be arranged for him to last ride them while against the turnbuckle. Big contrast to Batista who was able to at least for some seconds get umaga up for the batista bomb and also has lifted up fairly heavy guys like undertaker and kane.
thing with teh last ride is that it was a move from another version of the undertakers history, namely teh american badass. i think part of the reason he uses it as a counter move is because he prefers using the tombstone now hes back as the more original version of the undertaker. of course, when someone is basically in that position to use a former finishing move you're going to be tepmted to bring out old favourites.

* the Last Ride powerbomb is really a difficult move... considering Undertaker's age, remember when is lifted Mark Henry for a Tombstone piledriver, that's still remarkable... 🙂
As the others have said Undertaker is getting old and his body probably is not at one hundred percent after almost 20 years in the business. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this but is being featured less and less in actual matches over the last couple of years so his body is more fresh for the ppv's. Plus his current gimmick signature move is not the powerbomb but rather the tombstone.
