  1. Dean is maybe the most overrated dude left in the tournament. Not because I don't love him. I love me some Dean but his singles run has been crap and not just the booking. His matches have all been very forgettable and his selling has been either bad or nonexistent.

    I disagree. Ziggler is still kicking it. At least Dean has a character. But Dean's character is very much in the 'very stupid or very cool' land. I find it unbearable tho

  2. I feel the Reigns push is half ass. It was easy to see that he was set to go through the Authority but got hurt before the big accumulation and then Lesnar would've showed up to go 'wait just a fucking minute.'

    Instead he did get hurt and we got him vs DB in a 'just do it to shut these people the fuck up' match. However, what hurt more is that besides Rollins, no one in the Authority should be charged with helping a young guy learn how to work. The only reason guys get better working with Orton and Kane is if they realize that Orton and Kane ain't going to change shit up.

  3. Brock Lesnar has been booked too strong. They've cut the legs off the rest of the roster and, outside of Cena and the other part-timers, don't have anyone they can realistically put in a match against him. For that alone, I can't vote for him.

     

     

    I agree with this but went with Brock because he has been able to extrude being a fucking psycho so well. Like he knows that you know that he knows that he can just fuck with you because he wants to. Most of the main roster has been castrated since HHH did that promo talking about how a broom can out wrestle them or some shit. So that's nothing new and it happens weekly thanks to Stephanie.

     

     

    I feel like Bryan's year had three parts since WM: Being Mr. Brie Bella, Not Being There, and His Fans Are the Worst Human Beings. And while I enjoyed Brie's push the past summer until Nikki fucking knocked the shit out of her, Bryan was only there for two PPVs. Since coming back, all people have talk about how shit his booking has been instead of how good he has been.

     

    Brock has made a bigger impact this year because you know shit is going down when he comes out. When DB comes out, we will get a YES chant by default

  4. I really don't see how Rollins is worth a damn on a mic. He's not flubbing lines and shit, but he just isn't a guy who can make you sit yo as down and listen to what he has to say. His voice doesn't command attention and he looks like he is in an acting class when it comes to trying to emote. The fact that only Mr. and Mrs. HHH gets more promo time than him really shows that Rollins is overexposed.

    Missile dropkicks are so 2013.  This is the year of double foot stomps.

     

     

    It's 2005 again?

     

     

    Might be a cyclical thing.  Like the Chinese zodiac.

     

     

     

    Well, the internet IS bitching that Vince has fucking lost it because the E is behind isn't the guy the internet is behind. Then there's the promotion that's been around for a few years getting all the love because "it ain't Raw."

  6. The Barrett vs The Playing Field Ladder Match is weird but that build doesn't happen if someone else was the champion. No one else has gotten angles when they held that belt in years. To Barrett's credit, he was successfully built himself back up each time they've jobbed him out and/or got hurt. Not to his 2010 heat, but still manages to present himself like what he is doing is important. Something that the trading wins booking and lack of personality the other mid carders get/have. Don't think the belt is cursed. They just want Barrett to have it so they can try to build someone else up.

    It will interesting to see who wins it.

  7. Gunn was like many other guys who goes pushed every which way until the only way to go was out. Okay, I guess, at a lot of things but had to change his gimmick every year to keep him fresh and/or no one gave a shit.

    Cody Rhodes has that honour now and I can't fuckin understand why they are so determined to make a guy who has to be geting an uber push to get a reaction. Besides the obvious fact that he came out of Dusty. Nepotism is alive and well outside of the top spots on the show.

  8. I've always wondered why some people have made booking big men in wrestling such a hassle. They are big and should be treated like bigger people. During the days of GLOW, the one booking constant that Mt. Fuji wasn't allowed to leave her feet because she was the biggest, baddest face they had. If a promotion that was nothing but a glorified infomercial can understand this, why can't people supposedly 'know' pro wrestling get it?
