How I wish they'd hire Paul Heyman back on & let him handle the creative side & be on TV as well. Just let the mad genius run with the ball.

Even if he was just on commentary I'd still love it. Him and JR were one of my favourite duo's. The man is a genius but I doubt it will ever happen.

He was really smart, but also a ____ that a lot of folks didn't like. Who they should really bring on to book is Gabe Sapolsky. He made Ring of Honor the real force it became in the independents.

I just caught up on Smackdown. I was so pissed Orton didn't get to RKO Wade

Few rumble comments...

- Really exquisite match by CM Punk and Mr. Ziggles
- Mick Foley... YAWN
- Hacksaw... cool but sort of yawn
- Kharma - AWESOME!
- Booker - Damn it, USE this man more... he is not over the hill he looks and wrestles better than i honestly think anyone on the roster.. age means nothing if you can bring it and the man can BRING it..
- No Christian
- predictable upper crust in the last 10... well except Jimmy Usso lol.
-Wades music gets LAMER every time it changes
- Road Dogg... kinda neat to see. You still got it? Well he never did anything that impressive to begin with.
-Cody Rhodes and Kofi Kingston... just can't get into either of them
- Sheamus for the win!! While i want Jericho to have the notch on his belt I love Sheamus... have since ECW... im glad they are pushing him as the top player he deserves to be
- Why does big show cry so much?

How ironic that the guy saying people fast forward their dvrs when others talk, is the same guy i fast forward more often now. CM Punk is losing alot of interest to me. Not ring wise, but promo wise. I guess the era of interesting faces is gone. Heels seem to be the best for everyone

 

[karamazov80]

I can't believe they gave us Bryan/Punk tonight for free, but of course, I'm glad they did. As good as I knew it could be. Those guys could go for an hour and give the fans everything they could ask for. It was my hope months ago that Bryan would cash in his Money in the Bank at WM against Punk, and I'm a bit disappointed they won't go at it there, but maybe they can have a feud one of these days. . .

I think the match did some real good toward showing that Bryan can hang with legit champs and champ contenders, and even the ending was good in that Bryan didn't have to job to Punk. That was kind of important if they want to keep Bryan as champ for any length of time after showing him to be a weasel for several weeks.

My WM title match predictions at this point are:

-Punk/Jericho
-Orton/Bryan/Seamus

I didn't know Wrestling had Hadokens too

Glad I watched tonight. One of the few wrestlers I still like showed up for a rare appearance. I wonder if this will be his last Wrestlemania before he retires.

I hate the term "WWE Universe" though.

 

[Raymond F.]

Wwe universe is the stupidest term ever!

What do you guys think is taker wearing a wig? It sure looks that way his hair looked really fake

But why would they even bother mania is just a few months away no way he can grow his hair back that fast...

If you don't know reports and pics surfaced a few months ago where undertaker was bald as a cueball

Even Kanes hair which is obviously a wig, looks more real than what taker had goin on tonight.

 

[thenammagazine]

So the question is, will McMahon let him retire 20 and 0? Or will he pull a "Brett Hart" and give the victory to Hunter?

 

[Darth Caedus]

First Rumble that I have seen in the past few years. I enjoyed it for what it was worth. Seeing Hacksaw was hilarious and the Road Dogg and Booker T still freaking have it. BUT, was I the only one that thought the Rumble was missing some Star Power ???? I enjoyed it, but honestly I could have fastforward it to the last 5 or 6 guys and that was pretty much it.

I also thought that Jericho was going to take it.

 

[karamazov80]

Road Dogg. . .man. . .they must have had a lot of folks not answering their phones.

 

[Natrix]

Road Dogg. . .man. . .they must have had a lot of folks not answering their phones.

Well he is one of the back stage agents/producer and has been for several months now.

 

[Phil Sierra]

I gotta say one of my favorite moments in the Rumble for me was when Road Dogg was doing his thing. That brought lots of good memories of the Attitude Era. His timing and charisma is still on point and better than lots of young folk.

Taker has always been my #1 favorite and I hope he goes 20-0. But I seriously hope he calls it quits after that. That would be an awesome way to end a great legacy.
Also please make Taker's opponent be someone other than HHH.

Calaway needs someone from the old guard though, who's used to wrestling with him so that he doesn't get jacked by a newb mistake. I'm just worried that McMahon will write in Hunter winning to give him the closure for his "personal issues" so he can focus on being "COO," while Taker fades off into oblivion, closing another chapter of WWF history until he's 80 and comes back again to wrestle and promote a book.

You are correct though a newb is definitely out of the question. As a matter of fact there are lots of current wrestlers who don't even deserve to be in the same ring with Taker let alone a Wrestlemania match and his 20th at that. But don't get me wrong I'm a fan of HHH as well, but I was hoping to see someone else since they went at it last WM. Unfortunately the only deserving active wrestlers who I can think of are HHH and Kane. The other big stars like Cena and Rock are already spoken for and Jericho and CM Punk will most likely go at it.

 

[karamazov80]

If you're talking about someone to actually beat him, Kane might actually be a good choice because of the characters' history with one another. Cena would be a good one, though he's spoken for this year of course. I don't like the HHH option, either, just because I think it would smell bad. Not many options from the truly "old guard" still around. Maybe a return performance of Mankind? He had a pretty legendary feud with Undertaker, and beat him several times. That might also help to more firmly seal Foley's legacy, who despite his accomplishments, is still viewed as a bit of a 2nd tier "legend." Beating Undertaker at WM would definitely push him up a notch.

Foley's done. We already know it'll be Taker and Hunter because Hunter wants a shot at the only man he's never beaten at Wrestlemania and honestly, current roster, Hunter's the only wrestler with prior experience with Taker who's still healthy enough to guarantee a relatively injury free match (Foley requires too much manhandling - pun unintended). So not only will there not need to be as grueling a practice, but it either gives Taker a high note to end on (beating the COO of the WWE to go out 20 and 0), or gives Hunter a worthy bookend to his "wrestling" career so he can focus on "running" the WWE.

 

[Phil Sierra]

Even Foley admitted he's done. Here's his response to what many have asked.

"Sorry, but my lack of conditioning and intensity would never allow a match with me and Undertaker to live up to WM standards."

But if this is truly Taker's last match than I would love for Kane to be the one to have that honor. Plus Kane has his mask back and is similar to the way he use to be and well Taker is Taker so it would be like old times seeing those two monsters go head to head one last time.
