Ribsauce posted:I never got worked harder than Survivor Series 98. When The Rock beat Mankind in that finish I reacted like George Brett in the pine tar game. I couldn't believe it. I was the Mankind mark of all marks (still am, got an autographed socko in a frame even) and when he got screwed, oh man, I can't believe I did not punch a hole in the wall. If there was a youtube video of my reaction it would have like 20 million views. It was some shameful poo poo. I feel like half of us fell in love with wrestling because of this PPV. I loved The Rock and did not understand why he would betray me like that. My little ten year old heart had never known betrayal on that level.

The matches might be lovely, but the story of the tournament got over, which is really what the question was.

God drat I was so mad with WWE when they had Cena go over Rey like that. It's like the epitome of Cena being an rear end in a top hat babyface. I was stoked to see Rey win the title too

Itami can feud for the US/IC Titles, Zayn and Owens can be feuding for the Tag Team titles(We all know how this ends) Devitt can be the Main Eventer. Essentially the Nexus, only don't feed them to Cena(Reigns now?)

It's bad enough that they botched the timing and Punk had to return the following week after the story had completely cooled off.

I went to a house show once and Rocky told the NoD that he wouldn't join them. Then on RAW he joined them and I was pissed at him the whole time after. Austin was actually a prophet now that I think about it. In wrestling, you really can't trust anyone.

Plus she's all over the WWE's cross-media stuff, advertising, games, etc. Crowds ain't bad for her either despite uneven booking. I feel like she's more in the spotlight than most of the other women and that probably wouldn't be happening if she wasn't over, though I suppose with her background and youth she might also be more protected than most.

keevo posted:I think Paige is pretty over? Crowds actually chant for her. She's got real talent and they recognize it. Even though she's usually working lovely divas matches the crowds want to she her kick a diva in the gut rather than watch some talentless model botch everything. And Paige is actually entertaining on Total Divas, in part because she's a rational, reasonable person surrounded by lunatics. Paige owns. Can't wait to see her eventual matches with Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Bayley.

Vince might see the make up and push him as The Boogeyman II. Or find out he's Irish and push him as Hornswoggle's slightly larger brother. We won't know until it happens.
