General No Way Out notes

Mr. Artistic guy

Better Off This Way
- Best Divas match in I don't know how long. Kelly Kelly can poo off, Layla is fitter and a better wrestler anyway.

- Sheamus and Ziggler was a pretty good match. Cody and Christian was better in less time. I can only imagine how much better the crowd reaction would have been if WWE had given the people a reason to care about the match in advance.

- This is one smarky crowd. 'Hey guys, let's chant for who they don't want us to chant for. It makes us cleverzzz'. It's Ryder all over again. It wouldn't have taken people long to realize they would prefer Sheamus if Ziggler had gotten to be champion.

- HHH sold that match.

- I'm glad Sin Cara is finally competent in the ring, but I can't help feel that having Hunico debut as Sin Cara would have gone a lot better. He's one of the best talents in that ring, seriously underrated, and he can pull off probably all of the high-flying moves Cara can do but better, and he can do a lot of other styles also. All of that doesn't change the fact that Sin Cara is a dead end anyway. I know they want Cara to be the next Mysterio. My advice is, get as many years out of Mysterio as you can first.

- Mind you, this is like the fourth? fifth? time we've seen this Hunico - Sin Cara match.

- Camacho is Haku's son isn't he? They should do something with him.

- I was happy with that tag match, and the improvement in the tag scene in general. The AW turn made perfect sense as Young and O'Neill seem like the team with the most going for them right now and Primo and Epico already have a manager. I await to see if they can utilise AW better now he's at the side of a team who can use him.

- Where I was watching last night, I heard plenty of people bitching and moaning about the Santino and Rodriguez match. Smarkiness seeping through once again. If I booked PPV's, I'd always try to have match punctuated by entertainment between to break it up. Seen as WWE seems intent on not having much in the way of interviews or backstage segments, a match was the was to go. That doesn't change the fact you should play talents to their strengths. That means not having Santino wrestle, that means having Santino talk. Make Santino a backstage interviewer, it'd work on so many levels.

- Punk, Bryan and Kane with the AJ factor are easily the most interesting things going on in the whole WWE right now. When I look back I have to think how AJ got here. She was on NXT literally just months ago and now she's the most interesting woman in the WWE. Doing a great job though.

- Hail Bryan, king of the smarks.

- I initially revelled on CM Punk's title reign. Then I soured on it, he promised me entertainment and didn't offer up anything for it after a while. Now I've taken a shine to it again. I considered where the title could have been all this time, slung around the waist of Del Rio, or on Cena once again, maybe even held by Ziggler and I realize that whilst not living up to the high expectations he set for us, his reign has been a lot better than some of the alternatives. So long may it continue.

- More than that it's proven an idea. If you keep the title on a heel, even if the reign seemed inadequate initially, people will start to boo him consistently and loudly eventually. See; Bobby Roode. The same for a face. CM Punk now gets truly good and consistent reactions long after the hype of his infamous shoot era has died down. Not only that, but he's over with the kids. WWE has their long-term number two face.

- A match doesn't have to have the crowd into it to be good. Sometimes a good match is unhyped and unanticipated and so it is unappreciated, such as Cody and Christian earlier in the night. Those types of matches usually win people over in the end though, as did that one. However, it does help to have the crowd in your pocket. That's why judging by the reactions early into this WWE title match, you can tell it'd probably going to be the best match of the night from the get go. Not to mention the technical prowess, the dynamic of big guy to two small guys and the added element of AJ. I haven't watched it all yet though.

- Was right though.

- 'Maaah, he look like dat Golberg man and he big and strwng an stuf. Wel chant golberg cos we is smart n we now betr than th wreslrs an stuff.' Despite this annoying crowd, you can tell Ryback is actually starting to get over.

- That last match was a bit of a cluster-youknowwhat.

- Laurenitis being gone is long overdue. Good that he finally is though.
 
Uh oh, you said someone is better than Dolph Ziggler at something... You just made thousands of marks cry :rolleyes:

I'm glad Laurinaitis got "fired" too. He'll still be on TV but hopefully not as much. You shouldn't have to get used to someone to tolerate not changing the channel on them. They're supposed to entertain you.

Big mess or not, I don't understand the people saying Show looks weak now. It took Kofi, Clay, Ryder, McMahon, did I miss anyone off the top of my head besides Cena obviously, for them to stop Show so Cena could win. If anything, it was a completely heel tactic so Cena could win, except we're just assuming it wasn't all planned by Cena so he would win.

There's reports saying where again they thought of giving the belt to Bryan. Not that I have a problem with punk holding it, but if they were gonna take it off him, this would've been a good time with AJ's involvement. Especially since the build to this match was excellent.

Sucks that WWE decided to keep the feud between the two short.

What moves can Hunico pull off better than Sin Cara? Is that why you typed probably?

Well, initially, anything. I acknowledge Sin Cara has risen to be what he was intended to be at first now. My point was merely that Hunico had no issue with wrestling a WWE style or doing high-flying moves, he'd been doing it all well in FCW beforehand. Had HE debuted as Sin Cara, the character probably would have been more successful initially. We are at the point where it's a year after this Mexican prodigy debuted, and he's only starting to turn up good.

At least we have reached that stage though. It wasn't impossible that he would have been released for his underwhelming first run, but we're where we are now so it's much more positive. I still feel Hunico is really really good in the ring though.
 
So does anyone else think that Johnny Ace will be back within 2-3 weeks or is it just me?

Big Show will probably use the power of his "iron clad" contract and hire JL as his manager or something.

Either way, like Brock said, he's not going anywhere. But if he is gone for 2-3 weeks, that'll be a great 2-3 weeks.

The main page says he's now listed as an assistant to the board of directors, so there's just another way in right there.

Is your sig just an attempt to raise your own rep power?

I couldn't agree more with these two statements. JL has been way over-utilized and isn't capable of partially headlining Raw and Smackdown each week as dual-GM. The ratings don't lie. I'm glad they're (hopefully) going in a new direction now.

As for the Punk thing, I think you're dead-on. There's just no one else right now. I'm not a huge Punk fan, and he's certainly declined over his reign in terms of his overall appeal, but he's been okay, and him being "okay" is far, far better than throwing the title on someone else less worthy, which is probably what would have happened if he had lost it over the past year (someone like Del Rio, Ziggler, Swagger, etc. would've gotten it).
 
Is your sig just an attempt to raise your own rep power?

Initially, yes. It got me past the 600 mark I wanted to achieve (by 9 points) and now I wanna do it just for fun. So far there have been two people who recognized the luchadors I've used, not including the Mark Jindrak/Marco Corleone sig.
