"Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday."

--WWE has announced a big return tonight of a former WWE champion who is a cross-platform entertainer. I would expect it to be The Miz, who has been at TV's the last two weeks but not used, and the gimmick he's been doing at the house shows is as a heel who thinks he's a movie star.

At least it doesn't look like they're dumb enough to try to make him a face again as many feared.

Also of note, happy 70th birthday to Terry Funk

quote:


--Terry Funk, one of the greatest performers in the history of the business, turned 70 today. Happy birthday Terry, who continued to be ahead of the curve in selling all his WWE stock right before the network announcement number was made. Also celebrating birthdays today are two wrestlers who may be on Raw tonight, Cody Rhodes (29) and Alicia Fox (28).

Good on him for being smart enough to sell.

Cena will probably wear the WHC and use the WWE Championship for chucking into the ring/pose but I like the concept of fusion belts.

I'm interested to see what they'll do with Cesaro whenever Brock turns up because I don't see him coming out of it looking great at all. Heyman will talk about Brock to death so Cesaro plays second fiddle to a part timer (even more so) and while Brock is away we'll probably get Cesaro being fed to Cena.

I love Rusev and his tiny feet. I really enjoyed his match with Big E because it was like the first time Rusev has had a real competitive match, and it was just two bruisers going at it. I don't know what the general consensus was on that match, but I really, really liked it.

Paige/Naomi was great, and its pretty clear that from a talent perspective the women's division is, surprisingly, one of the stronger areas on the card right now. You've got a handful of really great workers and the women waiting in the wings in NXT are par good and occasionally excellent. A shame about that Summer/Layla feud. That was easily the most stupid, sexist and plain embarrassing women's angle they've run this year.

If you count the Vickie/Stephanie sewer match, it wasn't even the worst angle this week.

Fandangoo is hot, women fight over him, he's a jerk. Simple story, easy to tell in the ring. It may not set the world on fire but it's hardly embarassing.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

He had a buildup that would by all indications say that he should have won the Royal Rumble, then Sheamus won it, his character had no point and he did nothing until eventually he went away.
