The return of Hollywood Batista as a roadblock for Bryan would be amazing.
See, I was thinking that the guy who beat Bryan in 18 seconds would be a logical choice for HHH to recruit. And a heel turn wouldn't do Sheamus any harm at this point.

How long is Sheamus supposed to be out, anyway?

I think back to late-'80s/early-'90s WWF storytelling, which was targeted toward the same audience, and I just think the narratives have better arcs. That could be me being charitable to something that I liked very much as a child, but if you look at something like the Mega-Powers arc, that had a definitive beginning, middle, and ending that I think a lot of big angles in the WWE don't have. They just seem to peter out most of the time in this era, like the Nexus storyline as one big example.
The Nexus storyline didn't peter out. It ended when Cena beat Barrett at TLC.

Watching "Best of Nitro" vol. 2, and what a harsh reminder of how ... just ... the depths of foul judgment lies just out my grasp ... to describe how awful Zybysko is in booth. It seems as if every match he's on, he's on about the "human game of chess," as opposed to the "robot game of chess" or the game of human chess (which is what I assume he really means ... ass).
I wish somebody had at least told him that other strategy board games existed. I'd have liked to have heard how wrestling was like a human game of Hey That's My Fish.

The fact that she lived through the decade is a [testament] to Randy's vigilance.
That, and to the way the babyfaces never took advantage whenever HE FUCKING HID BEHIND HER.

Savage especially. He was such a great combination of everything that is powerful and admirable but also dangerous about masculinity. Protectiveness (but also jealousy), energy (but also violence), loyalty (but also paranoia) the potential to direct rigtheous anger (or irrational selfishness) into action (but sometimes without thought or strategy). All this in the mid 80s, just at the time when masculinity was being generally derided as primitive and scary.
Protectiveness? He used Elizabeth as a human shield all the time.

That was my first time seeing Davey Richards wrestle, and I have to say, I was expecting more of an epic clusterfuck.

I don't remember exactly when I stopped believing. I know as a kid I took the pragmatic view that it was fake whenever the guy I liked lost.

Which makes me wonder if there are any angles that hardcore fans such as those on this forum love but which promotions were justified in pulling the plug on early (or should have) because the fans just weren't buying it.
Antonio Cesaro as champion of the United States?

That was Lost in a nutshell though. No-one had a fucking clue what they were doing, Lindelhof has destroyed pretty much everything he's got his twisted bald headed claws into since as well.
Wait, his claws are bald-headed?

R-Truth on a PPV poster in 2013 doesn't make enormously more sense.
