Todd Martin makes some decent points it's just that he's arguing against Bryan Alvarez the most obtuse human being on the planet.
Exactly.

Todd is much better at explaining his positions too. Admittedly Todd doesn't know when he should back down because he's arguing with Bryan, but he's on the show to talk about whatever Bryan wants to discuss and it's not really his responsibility to micro-manage the show, it's Bryan's.

I love Bryan, but the guy seriously needs to raise his professionalism up a couple of notches in certain areas.

"Mathewson pitched against Cincinnati yesterday. Another way of putting it is that Cincinnati lost a game of baseball."
Todd would be an amusing guy to have on once every month or two to argue with Bryan, but he just doesn't have enough different to say for his own weekly show.

I thought this was gold.

Dave Meltzer
But both are also very smart promoters. Cena has been very convincing that he doesn’t like Rock, whether true or not. Rock seems annoyed by Cena.

From the Wrestlemania Observer discussing the build up for Rock and Cena and it's effectiveness.

I liked Bryan all but sticking his fingers in his ears and going "LALALALANOTLISTENING" at Dave's points there. I do think Brock not having any attachment or financial need may help him somewhat, because Vince wants what he can't have, and thus if Brock's unhappy with the booking, he's probably got the leverage to change it.

On the other hand, Dave seemed very optimistic about D-Bry, until Bryan pointed out what happened to Ryder.

Yep, it was pretty much a repeat of the Todd Martin discussion of whether or not Cena is partially to blame for WWE's decreased business.

Calgary Kid vs Eugene was a classic of the pole match genre. I remember it being the first pole match I ever watched and even as a fairly new fan unexposed to Russo's pole bullshit in WCW I knew it was stupid.

One advantage it has over the crap Russo did: It actually served a booking purpose (getting Miz his kayfabe job back).

Yeah, Vinny came off pretty bad with that, like the Comic Book Guy of smarks (is that implied?). Sitting there with his arms crossed pouting because of the Bryan match.

I can appreciate that watching live one would have lost out on JR and most of their (awesome) facials and subtle gestures, but it was still a hell of a match from an action standpoint.

If you were sat in the nosebleeds, and had watched the TV, I can see the 'Triple H beats the hell out of 'Taker, wants either Taker to give up or Shawn to stop it' story being lost, as it was a little out of the blue with all the talk of Shawn screwing Taker over. I do think it's hard to justify not being into Taker's comeback though. It's exactly what needed to happen after last year's match, and the bit where he did the full sit-up and fired up, was amazing.
