It was so bad.

The match order, first of all, was screwed up to hell. The heavyweight title first, and the divas match near the end, after the chamber AND the big tag match? Crap.

Chamber match was all right until the end. Swagger never should have won.

Rock and Punk was crap. I actually dozed off at one point.

Del Rio and Show was decent, but it's nothing we haven't seen half a dozen times already.

Cesaro and Miz was actually good, I thought. You felt like the two hated each other, and Miz continues to improve work wise.

Ziggler vs Kingston was probably the best match of the night, and it was nice to see Ziggler actually get a pin for once.

They really did the title match first? That is just a waste.

The Rock is getting old, so no surprise the match was a bit boring. What made the Rock exciting was charisma, energy, and agility in the ring.

Sad to see Chris Jericho lose. I liked him when he went to the WWE. He is definitely one of the better wrestlers in history. It's sad he will probably never get the recognition he deserves though.

Glad to hear Big Show can still put on a decent performance. I think he can still be productive in the ring as long as you don't put him against other slow lumbering people like Khali and Mark Henry. Show isn't young enough to compensate for their terribleness in the ring. Give him someone with energy and Show is self aware enough to sell what he needs to.

* The Rock unveils new WWE title!!!

What about the six-man tag team match and the divas match?

This new belt is better than the spinner, but it's still not great.

I've enjoyed Henry in recent years. Khali on the other hand can barely walk. Should have been fired a long time ago. Now they're just using him to hold Nattie back

Y2J knows he'll always have the respect of those who matter. I'd like to see him win more, but Y2J is one of the few vets who seems to care about the biz surviving when he's gone. He's more about making this generation look good than making himself look good. He's the exact opposite of gloryhogs like HHH & UT. When it's all said & done he'll be far more respected than both. Swagger winning does suck balls tho.

But yeah Y2J definitely loves the industry.

Henry just doesn't do it for me. He is a mediocre talent imo.

* Jericho's first run in the WWF Attitude Era still remains to be his best, whether he's face or heel... i don't know what he'd done with his gimmick in his second, third and fourth (i don't remember how many) runs, but it's getting boring more and more, and it's nice to see him doing promos again nowadays, that's his best skill... but if he's doing this boring jobbing stuff to make this generation of wrestlers/superstar look good, then props to him... but will it work for him that he can make this generation look good by not jobbing to them? but by making the feud in a higher level, just like what the Rock did to John Cena and CM Punk...

* i don't know if Undertaker is a gloryhog or not, but i think he's not... i heard that Taker and Rock are few of the guys who are "top dogs" in the business that make the locker room comfortable for everyone, they have good relationships with most of the WWE roster...

* it's true that the new belt ain't that great, but the fact that it abolishes the spinner belt (whether it spins or not), is good enough for me... i don't know what is this "fascination" of the creators of WWE belts in the big "WWE" logo??? they could've patterned the new design from the Winged Eagle, or the Attitude Era belt, or even the Undisputed title belt, emphasizing on the eagle (or it's wings) and the globe... the new one just seems to take off the spinner frame and just made the WWE logo bigger, and just added several gemstones... a whole lot better than the spinner, yeah kinda badass but still take a lot of time to earn itself to be described as "classic"...

* one thing they did right was, they timed the change of belt in Rock's championship run - Rock, whom many people see as a future legend and a future hall of famer of the business, and it can easily be great and prestigious just for the simple reason that it was him who introduced it...

* funny thing i was thinking, the new belt's strap has Brahma Bull gold-plated (or is it silver?) logos... what if the next WWE champion would be CM Punk? what logo will he use in place of the Brahma Bull? a Pepsi logo? 😛 what if it was John Cena? the Starbucks logo? 😛

The new belt is an improvement and already growing on me.

Also the Shield are the best thing going right now and the future is really bright.

Hopefully we'll have a main event scene with Ziggler, Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns, Sandow, Ohno, Cesaro, Bryan, Wyatt, and Gabriel in a few years.

I wish I could say things had been taken to the next level, but they honestly haven't.

* in a general scale, yes they haven't... but the hype Rock is doing everytime he feuds with someone, makes his opponent step up in a higher level... sadly, the "road" to Wrestlemania might be more exciting than the Wrestlemania match itself...

Not sure if things will be good when Cena goes over @WM with a NY/NJ crowd that boos Cena's stale ass out of the building.

* this is the main problem... is the WWE Creative Team that stupid? why are they making Wrestlemania matches and results so d@mn predictable? and tbh, i would most probably be surprised if Rock would retain the title, layeth the Smackdown on Vince McMahon, be suspended indefintely next night on Raw, so the WWE Title will be vacated...

Rock's not putting in the kind of ringwork he used to. I'm not sure if he's lost mobility because he's put on waaaay too much muscle mass(it also looks like he gets winded really fast) or if he's holding back because he's got a good movie career that he can't jeopardize by being injured in the ring.

* i think it's both... by the way, i hate it when he growls and flexes his muscles to the crowd after the spinebuster before going for the People's Elbow... that's NOT The Rock... The Rock, whether face or heel, is a pompous, egoistic smart ass who showcases his atheleticism - the flashy, flamboyant moves, eyebrows, $500 shirts and cars more than flexing his muscles to the crowd like Hulk Hogan and Triple H... and given how great his mic skills are, i hate it when i feel he's been holding back (or being told to hold back) what he's supposed to say so that he won't eat his opponent alive with his mic skills alone...

Rock/Cena was not a great match. Only thing great was that Rock won. Rock/Punk was ok, but the ending made Punk look weak. Rock/Punk 2 was better but not great & the Rock winning only means he's got the belt so Cena can take it away from him. Punk's career would benefit from a W over the Rock. Cena beating Rock is stupid & won't get Cena more popular. It'll only make people hate him more. Only way anybody can benefit from that is if Cena goes heel. I hope that when the title does change hands again, the side panels feature a taped hand holding a lightning bolt.

* the mere thought of having a Rock-Cena 2 is stupid and making the people stupid... they just billed the first match as "once in a lifetime", do they think the people have memory problems? it's true that Cena won't benefit from beating Rock, hell he should stay away from The Rock if he doesn't want to get his punkass booed all over the building... some people never learn... or maybe he's in it again for publicity? he can challenge Del Rio for the WHC Title instead...

* Punk doesn't need to be a heel... he can be a tweener, and enjoy heel acts with the crowd cheering for him, just like the lying-cheating-stealing Eddie Guerrero...

* what an idiot... this is maybe his time to shine, and now - this? this is a 100 facepalm worth...

I agree with certain things. Well for one I don't think Taker is a glory hog per se though it's just that now it seems he just shows up just for Mania to win and it's predictable. It's like OMG this opponent has Takers number...UT turns into Superman at Mania. Last Mania Shawn hit him with Sweet Chin Music followed by Hunter's pedigree and he still got up. No matter if it's Brock Lesnar or whoever that's going against Mark, the result is going to be the same.

I have mixed feelings when it comes to Triple H. Yes I do like him and he has put on some memerable matches, though I hear all of the stuff of his backstage politicks and holding people down though he has put people over. I think if he were a HUGE gloryhound as peeps say, than he would have beaten Brock Lesnar at Summerslam who I think his rep was somewhat shotdown when he lost to SuperCena at Extreme rules. Come to think of it, Hunter has not won any matches that he particapates in as of late. His loss to Lesnar him losing CONSTANTLY to Taker etc etc.

I was really hoping that The Rock would have lost to CM Punk at EC, so he would not have to fall prey to SuperCena for the title at Mania. Though I predict and it might be a saving grace since Cena and Punk will wrestle this coming Mon for the spot at Mania, it might wind up as double knockout resulting in the match at Mania being a triple threat where Rock won't have to get pinned to lose the title.

Swagger won't be on Smackdown, but will be on Raw apparently.

Rock is supposedly booked for Extreme Rules, and won't be bowing out at Wrestlemania, as the rumour goes.

Rumour for WMXXX next year is that the main event will be Rock vs Lesnar.

Miz will continue to use the figure four, but the Ric Flair storyline has been dropped. I suppose it's good, then, that Miz has actually started doing the move properly as opposed to his earlier botches. That's the story that seems to be true with Miz though: He starts off badly, then actually develops and overcomes.

Glenn Beck will be on Raw on monday to talk about the Zeb/Swagger storyline.

Obviously it's good publicity since it's a heel storyline but.. I really think Beck is going to break kayfabe.

I thought they reached out to him and he declined saying something along the lines of "Sorry, but I have anywhere else to be."

He did; pussying out after the comments he made.

Well, this is depressing:

Some more pleasant news, in that Undertaker is back competing:
