It's been a long time coming GCB, so here we go with a review. I'm also gonna touch on NXT and SmackDown after I review RAW.
Ok then. Now, I wanna say I like what you've done with Wade Barrett and how you've been pushing him. And now he's got a big challenge with HHH at The Rumble. I, for one, hope that Barrett holds onto the WWE Title heading into Mania.
This Randy Orton story is a little interesting. First he was ordered to not do this, then he gets suspended, then he's told not he can't compete at The Rumble period, then he's in the RR Match. Idk, it seems like a bit much is all. But you said, Orton can't have any contact with Cena DURING the Rumble. Does this mean he can still attack Cena on SmackDown? Cena's already starting mind games by costing him a match with The Miz, so we'll see what happens.
I feel for Edge here. I feel like HBK is screwing him every step of the way and now he isn't even gonna be in the RR Match. But it would be interesting to see if HBK makes one more comeback against Edge. WrestleMania maybe?
The US Title scene is looking interesting as well. It looks like Dibiase doesn't want Bryan to be the US Champ, so he screwed him over as guest referee and he pinned Gabriel in a non title match. Things are looking to take an interesting turn.
Now, at first I didn't get why you'd have HHH and Angle in a rematch, but now that I see Angle gettin frustrated with losing, maybe it's an early sign at a turn here? In any event, time to start the build with HHH and Barrett. Should be good.
Quick notes on NXT:
I like the ranking system you have going with 1-8. And you're giving guys that normally wouldn't get pushed a push, sort of. Chavo has a #3 spot and Drew McIntyre has a #5 spot. And Khali and Kozlov are battling for #1. I'm interested in seeing who grabs the spot, but more importantly, looking to see where you take this product.
I like the British Empire you stable you started. Regal, Finlay, and Ryan. Interesting to see how you book these guys. So far so good with Regal wanting to play the British National Anthem. Looking for them to make an impact at the Royal Rumble.
Also, on a low key note, I see Maryse is getting a few wins here. She's been on a roll and I wanna see her challenge for the Divas Championship, but Michelle McCool and Kharma are lurking about. Layla better be careful.
Quick notes on SmackDown:
Michael Cole is just as annoying on SmackDown as he was on RAW. Yeesh. But again, it works in Cole's favor cause that's his character. Annoying and....well annoying. He seems to already be power hungry too. Throwing his weight around and such. Let's see if you can keep him interesting every week and not have him get boring.
Big Show seems to be transforming back into the Monster that he was a while ago and Kofi was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Royal Rumble is getting more and more interesting.
Cena's heel turn...I don't know what to make of it yet cause I really don't know who he is yet, or what type of heel character he's trying to be. It's gonna take me a while to get a grasp on it, but if you know, let me know.
CM Punk and Christian for the World Title should be a good one. Looking forward to the mic battles between these two leading up to it.
So far, there's a lot of great builds for The Royal Rumble already for both World Title matches and the RR Match itself.
NXT is growing on me, and I need to see if anything else is going to happen once the rankings get finalized.
Keep it up GCB, the Road to WrestleMania is looking very interesting.
Oh and before I forget....I'm looking forward to see where Jeff Hardy fits into all this, but I got a feeling I already know...
) against the english woman you racist bastard.
" you have these two giant bastards face off i would much rather watch a midget pole-vault over a chair. i got an easy way for this match to end take fuckin brick and brake khalis fuckin knee or just give the russian a molotov cocktail and he'll kill himself by bustin the damn bottle on his own fuckin head the dumb socialist bastard.
