This is gonna be a very hard decision.
You ate your words, didn't you? Well, only kind of, Christian did show up.
Decent? I thought it was very good. 3-4 stars in my humble opinion.

4 stars for DBD and Sin Cara vs. Rhodes and DiBiase? It was a fine match and all, but Orton vs. Sheamus blew it away, and they got the same rating.
That half is generous. The ending was cool, but the rest of the match was nothing special. I personally liked the 6 man tag better. The Usos wrestled a hell of a match, must be what hunger for TV time does for them.

Great main event, best Sheamus vs. Orton match yet. About as close to **** as they're probably going to get.
-Sin Cara still bores the shit out of me.
-Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel might be the worst promo guys in the business.
-Trent Barreta looks like he may have gained a few pounds, and that's a good thing. That guy has unlimited potential. A shit ton more than Zack fucking Ryder, no doubt about it.
-Remove Teddy Long, and do it quickly. I still love the guy, so, please, don't force me to start hating him.

Slater sucked, but Gabriel was fine. I think the problem with Slater is his voice, it just sounds so goofy. I'd say they should run a storyline where he goes mute, but he can't wrestle either.
And where do you see this Trent Barreta potential? I'll agree he has more in ring ability than Ryder, but he has yet to proven that he can get the crowd interested in him at all. Ryder isn't exactly the next John Cena, but he has more of a following than Trent does, that's for sure.

Again, we must be watching a different guy. In fact, I thought Slater was better than Gabriel. That's bad.
I'd run a storyline where both were fired, and never follow up.
1. His in-ring ability is far, far superior to Ryder's.
2. He hasn't been given the opportunity to impress the crowd. Hard to do so on Superstars, and only having a 3 minute match every 3 weeks on Smackdown.
3. I'm sure if he acted like a complete nutjob on youtube, he'd amass a following as well.

Give it a second watch. Gabriel sounds much more natural than Slater.
And it would be vastly superior to anything The Corre has done.
Not gonna argue that, though maybe I'd remove one of the fars.
You can say the same for Ryder, though Barreta pops up on Smackdown more than Ryder does on Raw.
Have you watched ZTLIS? He doesn't act like a nutjob, he just plays his character. It's a smart self-marketing tool, and I for one applaud Zack Ryder for trying to get himself some TV time. It seems to be working, too.

Think so? I think Gabriel stumbles over every other word, and that's common with him.
I wouldn't, obviously.
People know who Ryder is because of his videos. And that's still a small portion of the crowd. However, if those videos didn't exist, no way he gets anymore of a reaction than Barreta. Even with those videos, fans have been reacting to Cena (during those Raw clips), probably not Ryder.
I have watched two of them. And I was just using the term nutjob. I wasn't talking Eric Young-style nutjob.
I think that's just his accent. Another case of a potentially great worker being held back by his inability to properly speak the English language. He and Booker T should talk about that sometime. Yes, I realize the irony of that statement.
I can agree with that. Though having Ryder alongside him probably helps with some of the smarks.
He can be pretty clever at times. Sometimes he's just goofy, but the stuff he does with his dad is always very funny. Then again, I just love self-deprecating humor.
False my good man. Trent Barreta had a match with Tyson Kidd (among many) on Superstars many weeks back where he and Kidd were able to have a match where when it started the crowd didn't even know who they were, and by the time they were done they had people standing, cheering for the awesome match they were watching and popping for Barreta's babyface comeback stuff. I think it was their very first match, the one I'm talking about here. Anyways, watch any of the matches he had with Kidd on Superstars and you can see right there that he can play the plucky babyface underdog role perfectly, and gets the crowd invested into the match as it progresses and finishes.
Trent Barreta is mah fuggun nugguh.

Heres one of their matches
4/28/11 I believe is the date for the specific match I was talking about. But really, just watch any of his matches against Kidd on Superstars. They've all been good to great.
