I think MITB at Mania was a great addition and at one point was a staple of the event. But just like the TLC match, WWE oversaturated the gimmick by giving it a PPV of its own. 2 MITB matches at the PPV and another one at Mania is overkill and ultimately led to it not being involved at Mania...

C'mon mate, that's a stretch and you know it. We've barely seen anything of Langston on TV up until a month ago. There's been no interaction, no indication that these two guys can click and put on the next big feud. As individuals, there's is definitely talent but I can't see how they are a part...

My only problem with waiting for the bigger talent and doing the invasion is who does the job? You run a 5 on 5 SS match of Rock, Austin, Taker DX v NWO, Goldberg and Sting, who the hell is taking the first pin? Vince would just bury the WCW talent like he did with DDP. I see far too much ego...

I definitely agree that they have the right look for Vince and I agree that a feud between the two could be interesting but I just don't see it as the feud in the way that Austin/Rock and others were. I think each man could be a huge star I don't think they will have the feud that takes us into...

None of the names mentioned deserved the WWE title, let me just state that right off the bat. To say guys like Rikishi, Goldust and Regal deserve a WWE title reign is laughable. The World Heavyweight championship is a different story Ever since the Punk/Hardy feud in 09, the world title has...

Hit the nail on the head here, whats the rush? He's not even gone solo yet. If we're looking into a future with only one world belt, how has Reigns suddenly jumped ahead of Punk, Bryan, Orton, Cena and the rest? Like THTRobTaylor suggests, history points towards a slow build being the most...

I agree that they can help feuds, I just don't agree with going to that well all the time at Mania. A classic Mania match IMO is Angle/HBK; 2 phenomenal talents going one-on-one to see who the better man is. Did it really need a table gimmick? Or a last man standing gimmick. The wrestling told...

There's no need for too many gimmick matches at Mania when your next PPV is exclusively gimmick matches. You could move Extreme Rules but I wouldn't. I enjoy seeing feuds end in great blow-off matches like Sheamus v Bryan in 2012 and Brock v HHH last year. If the feud is strong enough, it...

Honestly, with the way the tag division is being booked now, I'd slap him in a tag team with someone. When you've got good hands like Cody, Swagger and Cesaro stepping back from the singles division and getting exposure in the tag division, it shows that tagging isn't a step backwards anymore...

I can see how its an option but I can't actually see the execution. I think its an added option to add intrigue to a rushed match with little build. Sadly, I still think there will be some bullshit ending. I call it as: >each grab the other guy's belt (no unification) >Bryan wins the Rumble >A...

I think a Taker book would be one of the most interesting options. To hear about 'The Monday Night Wars' from the POV of one of the most respected locker room leaders in wrestling would be amazing, especially from a man whose gimmick limits our access to the man behind the character. I was...

I normally go to Download festival and missed Metallica there so I'm definitely making the trip down to Sonisphere. Having looked at your choices, theres one or two I wouldn't put in but that's the beauty of the gimmick; we can vote for those obscure personal favourites. I can't pick fault at...

In-ring, yes. Character-wise, no. I catch myself once every so often wondering how well he would mix in the ring with certain guys but I don't watch the show and immediately notice he's not there (which for a guy in his position is a slight worry). I prefer heel-Sheamus over the face option...

The promo served it's purpose; getting a face reaction from a very pro-DB crowd. This is the go-home show and this promo had to solidify Cena as the face and Orton as the heel. If I had to question any part of the promo it is that at times it felt very smarky, and as if it was addressed to...

Part of Taker's appeal and aura now is that he only appears at Mania. If he were to win the Rumble, you run the risk of overexposing him on the run to Mania, which can take away some of the mystique of the streak match. Don't overexpose your rare commodities. A little goes a long way and the...
