Why pretend to not know why he's booed? Are you new to the internet? I personally don't hate him, but I'm sure you've seen all the reasons: -He kept the Shield gimmick, which is seen by some as lazy and uncreative. -Skipped the midcard title scene and jumped straight to the main event...

The dead crowd made it seem worse than it actually was. It wasn't Savage/Steamboat but it was fine. The finish was cool and the post-match angle has me hopeful that they'll do better next time.

Honestly, all Miz really did was take Jericho's 2008-2010 gimmick and combine it with Punk's shoot-style promos. I'm not knocking him, as he's done really well with it, and everyone has their influences.

Shesaro is probably my favorite thing on Raw. I actually really enjoyed their best of 7 series, and putting them together as a team was a nice twist. I like Sheamus's unique look and hard hitting style and Cesaro's in ring skill is up there with the best of them. Their Raw Talk guest spot...

I honestly don't care either. He hasn't been interesting to me since 2005 when he was arguably one of the best performers on Raw. It's funny that him and Mark Henry always seem to be out simultaneously.

The PG-era has its pros and cons, but my issues with the current product have nothing to do with the content rating: -Tag Teams still lacking -Midcard Titles have no prestige -Titles are put on guys in an attempt to force us to care about them (Axel) -Severe shortage of full-time...

I've also noticed that his 2001 heel turn gets mentioned for the decline in business post-WM17. But other factors, such as HHH/Benoit being injured for the year, the Rock going to Hollywood, and the somewhat underwhelming Invasion deserve more of the blame. I for one, enjoyed it and he got...

I love Punk as much as anyone, but the only 2 men who should have any association with the term "Mr. Wrestlemania" are Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.

I thought the event had a strong card and the in-ring action was mostly solid. However, WM29 sorely lacked that signature moment that fans will talk about for years to come. And the NY crowd was surprisingly dead during the last two bouts.

Poor booking ruined the SES and New Nexus, so unless Punk had absolute creative control over his angles, then I don't think he is to blame. Still, I think that the Shield should be left as is. As for Punk, I think he's gone as far as he can as a heel and it's time to turn him face again. At...

I get that Jericho is very unselfish when it comes to helping out younger guys, but his constant losing is getting to a point where he's losing credibility. His loss Sunday night doesn't do that much for Fandango, because Jericho is the guy who always loses on PPV. Since Jericho retained the...

He does remarkably well for his condition, but he can't even do "old school" and the vault over the top rope anymore, which is why both of those spots were interrupted. That shows that he doesn't have much left in the tank.

I feel like this Mania played it too safe. The in-ring performances were pretty solid all around, but the outcomes were dull and I would have liked to see at least one major swerve. I was also surprised by the silence of the NY crowd during long stretches of Brock vs HHH and Cena/Rock...

Has anyone had a more contradicting career than Randy Orton? It seems like every good thing about him is cancelled out by an equally bad thing. Supremely talented in the ring <---> Injury prone/Drug issues Gets a big pop from the live crowd every week <---> Not much charisma/Better as a...

I smell a Punk vs. Heyman/Lesnar feud. Punk will blame Heyman for positioning the ref to get knocked out before he had the Rock beat, and Lesnar will naturally get involved. But then again, how does Punk pose any sort of threat to someone who no-sold the Pedigree at SummerSlam last year?
