The inclusion of minors is really going to give the deep internet nude-trading Illuminati a bad name.

After nearly two seasons of Masters of Sex, I think I'm more interested in the Gabe Kaplan nudes. Everyone wants what they can't have.

Steen, Devitt, and KENTA could all be thrust into the spot immediately based on the hype they'll be riding in with. I don't think they see Enzo as a top-ish guy right now. Throw Zayn vs Neville, Regal vs Ohno, and Regal vs Cesaro on your must-watch list. They represent high-water marks for NXT.

Oh, good. It's time for my weekly reminder that my values mean nothing to me. And it's only Monday...

Maybe where you're from, Lana. Also where I'm from: Canada. Although all things considered, I'd feel stranger repping alcohol on my clothing. I'm not in university any more. And even if I were, I wouldn't be a naive freshman enjoying his first taste of freedom or an upper-year frat boy looking to advertise how little I care.

There's shit-talking your PPV opponent, and then there's Bayley not wanting to hug you. Damn. That was stiff.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but fall generally coincides with a drop in ratings before they pick back up around Mania season. No? If I'm not wrong, then just butter my ass an call me Tiffany.

The idea of Cody realizing the main-event potential the Bizarre One had back in the mid '90s makes my bollocks tingle. Taking away the disfigured gimmick that Rhodes had in 2011 was, IMO, a huge mistake. This could (should?) be what finally takes him to the top.

I didn't think his fall 2013 matches with Punk were anything to write home about either. Punk-Ryback was a bust with me either way you cut the face/heel dynamic and with a year between the feuds.

Aside from the TLC bout, I abhorred all of the Punk-Ryback matches. Yet I enjoyed Ryback's matches with Cena just enough to chalk the Punk stuff up to poor chemistry and call it an anomaly.

We at least got a pretty good match out of Cena and Rey. So yeah, WM9 was far worse.

Terrible as comedies? Blasphemy!

MoS hurt me to the extent that I've attributed anything good in his other movies to people who aren't David Goyer. I think I'll need a while before the healing can begin.

Surprising stance considering the running joke that is Goyer's writing.

Do we have any Rectify fans here?

Finding out what happened to Kevin's shirts is more than I ever expected. I'm a satisfied customer.

And Cena's been winding back his house show dates. I rest my case?

MRW:

Monster trucks would be just as miserable. How do you avoid burials with a brand like Grave Digger?!

Why do I care who closes the PPV? Punk had plenty of TV time, a lengthy title reign with strong booking, and fought guys the IWC would largely say were dream opponents. He also got to be the only man not named Cena to go one-on-one with the Great One. For a glass-half-full guy like me, it was a dream run. Nobody thinks Jericho-Trips was the main event of WM18 because it closed the show. Nobody thinks Edge-Taker was the drawing attraction of WM24 because it was the last match. But Cena headlining over Punk a few times while embroiled in major angles (yes, Johnny Ace getting his comeuppance was a major angle) is somehow a crime against humanity. I've never understood why people get so up in arms about how many times Punk got to close out a PPV. It's a non-issue to me. Yeah. Cena's never had to polish a turd before. It's all top shelf for the Champ. Poor Bryan. Cena's still bankable. Heating him up again to take another loss to Lesnar isn't the worst idea in the world. The story could be told in another way, but this is far from apocalyptic. I don't think anyone has an issue with the rematch happening. It'll be a great match, obvi, but the issue is the bigger one that the safe money is on Cena going over. Is that safe money? It's the usual Cena issues versus the prevailing wisdom that they want to ride Lesnar as champ till Mania. I think it's something that could go either way.

Noted. The notion that no effort has been put into building anyone except Cena is asinine to me. Punk, Edge, Orton, Batista, and Bryan have all become big wrestling stars during Cena's time as a headliner. Maybe Cena's just more bankable than those people because he's better -- because he's what the people want -- because he's inherently more marketable. Also, considering the pushes for performers like Wyatt, Bryan, the Shield, etc this year, I'd say hanging the Network numbers around the necks of Cena and the part-timers is absurd. Probably the same reason we saw a whole lot of Kane during Cena's year-long march toward Rock in Miami: They still see Kane as a guy worth pairing with a real star during an off month.

Yeah. Cena's never had to polish a turd before. It's all top shelf for the Champ. Poor Bryan. Cena's still bankable. Heating him up again to take another loss to Lesnar isn't the worst idea in the world. The story could be told in another way, but this is far from apocalyptic.

Well yeah. Weiner's a dick.

With a couple exceptions, WWE hasn't seen fit to book like that in a long time. As such, reading into every win and loss is a futile endeavour. You'll get more from watching a guy's placement on the program than from turning every loss to Jericho or beatdown from Cena into a capital offence.

Every main event? You must have missed Elimination Chamber, which was about Bryan. Or Mania, which was about Bryan. Or Extreme Rules, which was about Bryan, Evolution, and the Shield. Or Payback, which was about Evolution and the Shield. Or the following two PPV builds, which were as much about Reigns as they were about Cena. Or the SummerSlam build, were Steph vs Brie was often pushed as a bigger deal than Lesnar vs Cena. Not every main event is about pushing Cena. And even if Cena is in the last match of a show, doesn't mean he's the most important thing on the card. A lot of 2014 has been about people other than Cena. It's not 2007 any more.
