"Dolph Ziggler: New WWE Champion" - The latest proof that Vince has lost his marbles.

I'm wavering on seeing the Rumble, mostly because if I do, there's a 50% possibility of me seeing those words, and, to put a long story short, I don't want to.

Honestly, the WWE became a joke a long time ago. I watch Raw and Smackdown on Youtube when I'm bored. The fact that Daniel Bryan is champion should make the men who wore that belt in the past either sick or spin in their graves.

Considering that thing only existed to be Captain Trips' vanity belt, I have no real problem that a joke like Daniel Bryan has it. Hell, even when they gave it to Mark Henry, I didn't mind.

I actually didn't mind Henry having it. At least he was somewhat believable with his size and power, even if he couldn't wrestle for ****. And I would much rather have that title on HHH than Daniel Bryan. The guy is a total turn-off, I can't believe they had Show job to him 3 times. And if I was at the arena when that bullshit ending with AJ went down, I would have asked for my money back. Seriously. I'm so glad the last WWE event I went to was almost a decade ago.

Sooo that's why Booker T, Foley, & Nash jumped off the TNA boat. :lol:

Could someone tell me where's Jeff Jarret? TNA was much better when he was around IMO.

Probably at home slipping it to Karen Angle...

If Daniel Bryan goes to WMXXVIII as champ, and stays champ, it will most likely make me nauseous. And if Cena actually wins, I'm probably gonna puke...

Yeah. If Bryan wins and Cena wins, I won't even watch RAW and SD on Youtube, like I am doing now. And as soon as Undertaker came back, I knew there would be a Hell in the Cell match. It was the only logical option. Taker will win, and either he will retire, or lose next year. Hopefully to Kane (Rumble winner) as champion. That would be perfect. And Jericho vs. Punk? I really don't care.

I do. It's really the only match on the card thus far that I actually have an interest in, since I know that Sheamus will beat Bryan (Vince would have to be completely stupid to let Bryan retain the belt on the biggest show...ah, who am I kidding?), Taker/Trips is likely to be not as good as they'd like it to be and Cena/Rock has the potential to be to this generation of wrestling fans what Sting/Hogan at Starrcade 97 was to my generation of wrestling fans.

Yeah. Vince has made dumber decisions. But I really hope they're just building Bryan up as an annoying douchebag to make Sheamus's win that much sweeter.

Cage matches aren't hard to pull off at all. It all depends on the fans' mindset. and what we're expecting. Personally, I'm not expecting a mat-wrestling match. I'm expecting a blood-bath. I might be let down, but the match will definitely have some high spots and serious impact. I can't wait.

Sting/Hogan was a mediocre match at best. The comparison is fair, as Cena has about as much wrestling ability as Hogan did. It was also the same in being built up. And in the end, it didn't live up to the hype. Hogan/Rock was built much smarter and it did live up to it. Hopefully this match will be just like it, with the same result: Rock winning.

Yeah, it was definitely cringe-inducing. And Wade screamed the F word about 8-9 times as well. Reminded me of Eddie Guerrero breaking his elbow in 2000 right after he debuted in the WWE. Having broken my right arm twice, I know exactly what Wade went through. Except for me it wasn't a 230-pound wrestler who fell on it, it was a fat chick in 7th grade gym class...

Also, side note, I think it's really cool that both Mike Tyson and Ron Simmons are going into the Hall of Fame. Tyson is way overdue, and I never thought Simmons would go in. Hopefully Savage and Davey Boy will get to go sooner than later.

I hope so, too, because otherwise it's just gonna be like the Cole/Lawler feud a year ago: built up in hopes of blowing off at Wrestlemania, then kept going for two months after everyone stopped caring.

I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Then again, I enjoyed the match at last year's Wrestlemania, and I'm pretty sure I'd feel 100% completely different about it if I watched it today.

I'm comparing it more on the hype being built up around it rather than the ability of those involved. I'm fairly certain something will happen to flush the past year's (more like past few months, actually) buildup of the match.

Honestly, it's about time Cena turns heel, the majority of fans want that. I would like to see it done at WrestleMania, like it was back at WrestleMania 13 with Bret Hart and Steve Austin. Almost. I want Rock to win, and then Cena attack him after the match. Regardless of what happens, I don't want Cena to win, but that's what will happen most likely.

Win or lose, I want Cena turn heel again and M. Cole to turn good. I didn't like the Lawler v. Cole stoyline at all--However I do think Larenitis (sp) and Long will be good for at least 6 months. Their Smackdown antics were hysterical.

Now TNA--Sting leave too. TNA's last 5 minutes made me sick...I never thought Sting annoyingly silly until then. :HEADHURTS:

I got The Rock's DVD set today, and I must say the WWE knocked one out of the park. If you were a fan back in the late 90s and to 2004, this is a must have. The documentary is dare I say flawless. It is 2 hours long, encompassing every facet of Dwayne Johnson as a man, wrestler, actor, and entertainer. From growing up backstage with his dad, through all his mic work in the ring (and they do have a LOT of his skits, took me right back to how funny he was), including behind the scenes of his movies, all the way to his return to punk out John Cena. Interviews from The Rock, his family, other superstars (most notably HHH, Mick Foley, Y2J and Vince McMahon) to highlights of all his WrestleMania and other high-profile matches. This was a lot of fun to watch.

The match selection was quite surprising, but not in a bad way. There are some hardly-ever-released matches on this set, and some that have been released on other sets, the Summerslam, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series matches he has been in, only because those have their own sets. I highly recommend this. I grew up on watching this guy along with Austin, Taker, Foley and The Game, so this was definitely a trip down nostalgia lane.

One peculiar thing that struck me was how much time they spent on SummerSlam 2002, which involved Brock Lesnar. The match is on the set, and the documentary involved a lot of footage with Lesnar in it. Could this mean that now that he is finished in the UFC he may be on his way back, especially if he settled things with Vince? I think the WWE is missing that intense big guy they always had since Batista left. Sure, there are some big guys, but not established like Lesnar and Batista were. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing him back.

If you were a fan during the Attitude Era, get this set. You won't be disappointed, if you smell what The Rock is cooking.

Also, there's a misprint on the DVD box, listing a match against HHH in May 1998, but the match is not on there.

On the Blu-Ray set, the Tag Match with Cena against Miz and Truth at Survivor Series 2011 is included. I didn't care, so I saved $10.
