Since watching Raw yesterday, I hope to god the main event WILL be Orton vs Batista vs Bryan. Adding Bryan into the mix makes me interested for the main event. Lets be honest Orton/Batista would have been a bore fest.
I actually do like Triple H as a wrestler. He has had great matches in his career. In my opinion he was one of the best damn heels in the business.
I am more concerned with Brock/Undertaker and Cena/Wyatt. It's going to be odd that Cena is not going to be the main event at Mania. Or I am wondering will they put the match between him and Bray for last.

Idk if Gotg does 50% of Iron Man 3's business and 1% watch WWE because Drax is the champ your looking at a 5M In regular business short term. I think the plan has failed but I don't think they can honestly deviate at this point, makes me wonder if some people will avoid gotg because of Batista.
Even if GOTG is successful (and I hope it is), I honestly don't think it'll do much if anything to help Batista's exposure. He's not front and centre like the Rock is in his movies, and he hasn't really shown much in the acting sense either, imo.

Ugh. No.
Outside of the Women's division, it's awful at times, imo.
Lockdown was actually really good, and TNA seems to be in an upswing.
Originally posted by -Pr-its more so when he is doing media for Marvel he will have the Belt on and will also take questions on upcoming ppv. Same thing they did with Rock to promote WM28-29. I hope they actually unify the belts at wrestlemania, Dave would be gassed in interviews just lugging them both around.

Given the amount of times the Rock was seen without the belt, and the various times he made no mention of wrestling, I dunno. I wouldn't rely on it, personally.

ive decided to watch raw and smackdown again. havent seen raw since raw old skool back in january i think
The matches veer between really good, and really bad for me. That one with Aj Styles not so long ago where pretty much everyone interfered? Yeesh.
The knockouts division is great though. Really.
I think HHH has been terrible as the booker.
1.Ryback- They built this guy up successfully against all odds. Then H spoils the entire run. They never allow Ryback to beat Punk even though the crowd was going crazy for it. They had a chance of redemption when they made him a monster heel who looked like he legitimately ended Cena's career and they STILL don't give him the strap.
RESULT- Languishing in the mid-card
2.Damian Sandow- The guy caught fire and was a great heel. You give him the MITB case and he is poised to enter the main event. Then, you make him the victim of the worst burial in modern wrestling history.
RESULT- A walking zombie with nothing around him.
3.Dolph Ziggler- The crowd forgave the idiocy of the booking and still roared when he finally won against Del Rio. They then proceed to bury this guy and the crowd STILL backs him. Ziggler should be in Mania and the one to break the streak.
RESULT- Wasted talent.

1. Honestly I am sick of Ryback teaming with Axel. I hope they just split up soon.
2. Damien Sandow is indeed the saying "putting the nail in the coffin".
3. Ziggler is following after Sandow.
I said I liked Hunter as a wrestler, but these choices have been pretty bad and Batista winning the rumble and headlining Mania, is the worst. The only thing Hunter can(HAS TO DO)is let Bryan go over at Mania and compete in the title match with Batista/Orton and win. If Batista wins the title, f**k Hunter(can't believe I said that)and I personally believe this WrestleMania, will stink more that last years WrestleMania.
As much as I don't respect HHH, he and Vince can't be stupid enough to **** this one up. Bryan leaving WM as WWE WHChampion is the ONLY option at this point.
UT v Brock is a waste of time. Brock doesn't need to end the streak(let somebody who needs it do it) & seeing a legit tough guy job to a broken down old man is ridiculous
I've truthfully never understood the Ryback/Goldberg comparison, the jobber thing was similar but really Goldberg didn't invent crushing jobbers. After that the only other point of comparison is they are both bald & they both make funny faces.
Goldberg was primarily a striker and was not a great worker.
WCW Giant was only about 325lbs
WWE Big Show is 445
Ryback and 95% of the WWE locker room are greatly limited by this marketing idea of "signature moves". Ryback just needs to add a couple explosive moves to his list and I think he could take Del Rio's spot.
I suggest a version of JBL's last call aka a fall away slam and a delayed double underhook. They are both fairly rare moves and would help round out his offense.

Originally posted by P-Geyseri take that very lightly. Ive seen him shoot and he seems like a real *******. i even saw someone claiming to be his cousin (probobly isent) happy he got injured.
Yep just ask Bret Hart. I was never a Goldberg fanatic, but I honestly think he was more impressive than Ryback in ring wise. I remember when he jackhammered Reese and the giant in WCW making it look like it was nothing. Ryback looks likes he struggles a bit when lifting heavier guys.
