Orton and Kane weren't very cohesive, for an alliance. They might be the worst alliance in history.

The show wasn't bad but I've seen better MITB PPVs. I wasn't that impressed by either match but it is increasingly harder to come up with new material year after year. Usos/Wyatts was a good opener. I actually thought Paige/Naomi was decent and they worked hard. Naomi's ass is so nice, her tights can't contain it. I can't stand Cameron and find her irritating. The other Divas match was shit. Who cares who bangs Fandango? They're all so good looking, it isn't that hard to find someone else to bang if things don't work out with Fandango. The first MITB was pretty easy to pick, either Dean or Seth, as the rest were geeks. Dean and Seth are really becoming good stars, in their own rights, I just would've picked Dean over Seth. Seth seems a little boring to me and doesn't come across as a main guy just yet, for me. The second MITB was nothing special with a bunch of overused MITB/Ladder spots. If your name isn't Orton, Cena, Kane, or Roman, you're a geek. This should have been the match that made someone overnight and instead Cena wins. I don't get that at all. I like Cena, and he is very good, and the face of the WWE but at this point they need someone new alongside him. I do realize that Reigns' time will come but this match should've created a new main star.

I'll agree with your last argument, for sure. Still, he never felt, to me, that he knows how to put anything over, whether it be the storylines or the characters. This is counting the period before Vince turned crazy and made the announce team into his personal pulpit.

I'd rather have Matthews than stupid as shit Cole/Vince. Cole can't put shit over in a match.

This is wrestling

Has The Miz even had tv time lately?

Rollins is not taking the belt, mark my words. Reigns maybe. Bray would be good for a heel champ. I can't help but think they'll want to get Bryan back into the picture when he returns and Bray would be a good set-up and a long feud. Cesaro maybe.

Very disappointing that Bryan's reign has to go down like this. His collective reigns have been some of the worst in history but it's not his fault. Would it be that hard to prolong his reign until he's ready in July hopefully? If they can drag out the shitty 3MB/Matadores program, why can't they drag that out?

When did Mel Brooks (sp?) wrestle?

I literally went through RAW just now on my DVR, just to see Alicia Fox, and maybe a little Bo Dallas. Alicia is a total star and she always seemed to have it in her but now she's just letting loose. Give her the WWE Title! Why the hell can't Brie be more like her?

I'm between subs right now, what does Dave say about the Daniel Bryan situation in the new WON? Any worthwhile update on the title situation?

So basically, we're still at he may or may not be stripped of the title. I like that he didn't relinquish it here, that might be a good sign.

I don't recall ever saying he was main event material. I sure as shit don't think Ryder is.

I wish they would try something new with him. He seems to be trying really hard with 3MB and it's gotten him nowhere. His original character was boring as shit though, he would need something else but I think he's got some talent in him.

They gave him a truly half-hearted push where they totally emasculated him in favor of John Cena. He could've been a solid mid-carder who moved some merch.

Why should they push half those guys? Mahal stinks. When did he ever have potential to draw money? Riley was decent on NXT and that's about it. Tatsu and Woods wouldn't draw jack. I could see Del Rio, maybe Kofi, and Sandow. Swagger did get a push and The Miz sorta did too, even though he looked very weak. They dropped the ball with Ryder as a good mid-card character. Forget Otunga too.

Yea, where did Bigelow go after Mania IV and why? They really tried with him at SS 87. I think he worked WCW somewhat and Japan before returning to the WWE. He's a guy that should've made more money in the business. He would be great to face Cena in this era and put him over. I bet they'd have some good matches.

Who is the dude on the left? Looks like RF but he can't be that buff.

I saw the whole Clash where Macho woke Hulk up with the elbow. That match was chaos. I love how they were building towards Vader being a good challenger for the Hulkster but Hulk basically no-sold his finisher. It did get me to watch Superbrawl 95 with Sting/Macho v. Quake/Big Bubba, and Hogan/Vader. They were both pretty decent but I liked the former better. Hogan was Hogan and basically said fuck Vader and no-sold twice. At least Vader was protected for the re-match, which if I recall was where Hogan actually beat Flair in a strap match. Hogan really emasculated the whole damn roster when he came in. Poor Macho, as well, getting the Punk treatment to Hogan's Cena.

What the hell do I care what Punk does with his life? It's his choice to walk out and it doesn't affect me in any way. I won't lose sleep over him leaving or staying or taking a shit in the middle of a park or whatever he does. Some people just obsess over stuff like this. Let the man be, he seems pretty happy, plus he's boning AJ.

Guys, is a clean win still clean if it involves stuff that would normally cause a DQ but match stips exclude DQs? For example, ADR won the WWE belt at HITC 2011 in a No DQ HITC match. Does this count as a clean win?

A check in the win column maybe. Not a paycheck, those might bounce.
