He's the one of the former WWE writers. I dunno, I've enjoyed the stuff I've read of his over the years since leaving. He's usually been on the money for what's happening, from memory.

Speaking of these lower mid carders, they should all be repackaged into teams and used to rejuvenate the Tag Division.

It's a fairly outmoded thought process though, 1oak. See, what makes a former or current WWE writer (a few times the current guys have been at ComicCon discussing their angles) any different from other TV show's creative team doing interviews or blogs? This generation of entertainment fans have grown up with that being the norm. Heck, most of the wrestlers do the exact same interviews, including on their DVDs.
Vince has worked this out and it's why they're pushing social media so hard now, after resisting it for so long. They realised this is how fans interact these days and how they expect information - most fans want to watch shows or movies and then dissect all the creation the of said entertainment on 3 hour behind-the-scenes docos.

They should all be repackaged into teams. Makes sense, you get to have the guys get experience without having to carry a whole match by themselves, and then you've got a ready-made story when they break.

There is a difference between what you are saying which as you said is fairly common these days and the portion of fans who are just baiscally comic book guy from The Simpsons but with Wrestling.

4 Hours and 3 Minutes. Remember how much ego this WM has compared to past. HBK, HHH, Rock, Taker, Cena.

...and 40 Minutes for the entrances of HHH, HBK and Taker.

4 hours is gonna be a bit of a marathon....mind you I made it through Bret Hart/McMahon...so I guess I can survive this.

An hour will get taken up just on entrances by HHH, HBK, Taker, Cena and Rock :lol:

Also, another 30 minutes on Rock and Cena lying on the mat after they hit each other with their finishers.

And 10 mins of Rock putting a weak sharpshooter on Cena and him refusing to give up and the commentators saying 'Cena will never tap'

Rocks sharpshooter is so poo. Especially bad when Rock is screaming like its a major hassle to lock in.

THE LEGS AREN'T EVEN CROSSED ROCK FFS. ALL YOU'RE DOING IS GIVING THEM A MILD HAMSTRING STRETCH.

Also - 20 minutes worth of near falls on Taker in HIAC. "THIS IS IT COLE!!! no...."

Everyone seems to have a submission 'finisher' these days. Is that so they can eat up 5 min blocks while they stretch for the ropes?

The funniest thing was when Taker brought a finisher in. That's extended his career by a couple years just lying on the ground for 5mins a match. Now I know how Ric Flair lasted as long as he did!

I can't wait for Rock to jump up and miss a wild swing after Cena hits him with three flying shoulder-blocks.

I will lose my mind if Rocky throws that swinging punch to get hit with Cena's sideslam on the first try, I hope they break it up a bit, like in the Punk series of matches.

I love this B A Star campaign for kids but man it's weird, given that their entire business is around insulting each other in inventive ways and fighting about it. I wonder if WWE will add "Don't Say Mean Things To Each Other At Home Like We Do To Each Other" at the end of their opening Don't Try This At Home.
