It was AWFUL. Did the "JOHN CENA SUCKS" to the tune of his music come through clearly on TV?

Ohhhh yeah, loud and fucking clear.

Any time frame for your RAW review?

 

[Remix]

Not really. SHe needs to drop the NXT one without losing it.

She won't. In FCW, when champions were called up they did the job. NXT is booked by the same people. Both Seth and Big E went out on their backs too. A loss on NXT doesn't hurt her, but it helps whoever she loses the title to. Unless by 'without losing it' you mean she loses it via cheating, which is probable.

Yeah. Once they started chanting, Cole and JBL started arguing over nonsense, but you could still make them out. I know it was a post Mania crowd, but if you were to watch that match and judge it only on crowd reaction, Cena/Sheamus/Big E appeared to be the heels, at least on TV. Other than the spot where Big E hit those backbreakers, not a single cheer came across on TV for the face team.

How does Bryan compare to Kurt Angle in terms of mic work and ring work? Is Angle better?

Once I remember what planet I'm on. I just drove 750 miles today.

It does when WWE fans are told to watch it.

Oh that's how it came off live too.

Angle in both.

Few questions, cheers in advance:

1) For the WM triple threat, a good portion of the match had Bryan flat out on the floor, but the crowd was pretty into watching 'tista and Orton... No boring chants or anything... Kinda highlights the real attitude of the crowd, no? The shitting on matches isn't as real as they'd like it to be. That doesn't sound like a question I guess. But any thoughts one way or the other would be appreciated.

2) Does the Cena heat (which I'm not hugely in favour of, though I have my moments) count as X-Pac-heat? They want the dude to lose and go away right? Or should we consider Cena-heat as a new thing in an of itself?

3) Any alternate approaches to promoting wrestling that you think could work? With the new trend of 'reality' television, I've been wondering if a show sort of following superstars in the business and building feuds not only through the in-ring product but with a larger focus on their lives (semi-kayfabe of course) leading to a big match (rather than the weekly) ever work (or not fail)? I know TNA have experimented with it a little, such as visiting the homes of Storm and AJ etc. Any thoughts again?

Also, great work on the reviews. Busy schedule to keep, no doubt. Glad you're getting them hits. Us nerds appreciate the effort.

1. It was more that everyone knew what was coming and they were actually patient.

2. It's a new thing.

3. I still think they need to use what worked before. The answer you always get is "that doesn't work anymore"......except every time they try it and it works of course.

Agreed. Just feeling outside the box. Thinking about double J. Maybe and eight-sided-ring could do the trick .

Cheers for the response kb, have a good one.

 

[Spidey Revivey]

Adam Rose vs. Fandango

Do you think these two can feud back and forth without multiple threads bitch about it?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not a chance.

 

[Cereal Killer]

Why is Cena booed?

Would you say a contributing and significant factor to Bryan's popularity is the "yes" stuff?

 

[klunderbunker]

People like booing what is popular at times. These people are called jerks.

Quite but nowhere near all.

 

[Lee]

Where do you see the US title going?

Ideally I'd like Swagger or Cesaro to build up this Real American feud thing. With Shield now taking on the Authority methinks Kane is the most likely (As I can't see Batista/Orton having it).

 

[klunderbunker]

FUrther into obscurity.

Maybe to Cesaro but that wouldn't be the best move for him.

 

[Lee]

Is this one of the craziest weeks in wrestling history?

 

[klunderbunker]

The only that compare to it are Benoit and Vince buying WCW.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Granted, we may need to see what happens in the coming weeks with Cesaro, but there can't be too many instances of a manager representing a heel and a face at the same time.

I suspect that this wouldn't be the first time this has possibly happened but when was the last time this happened?

 

[klunderbunker]

Jimmy Hart managed Luger when he was mostly a face in WCW while also managing Giant.

 

[MCMG]

If anyone, who is the next person to beat Brock?

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

With only the Raw after Mania in the books, the card for Extreme Rules (or at least the main matches) seem all but set. Is there anyway you don't see any of the following at Extreme Rules?

Daniel Bryan (c) vs Triple H
Shield vs Orton/Batista/Kane
John Cena vs Bray Wyatt

Maybe an eight man tag.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

IF (big if) Cena ends up turning heel in the near future, when do you think the earliest time for it will be?

 

[klunderbunker]

A few years at least.

 

[Jane]

What makes this week so crazy other than Taker losing? I'm lost.

 

[Alex]

Is Ambrose technically the only thing keeping the US title relevant/Is he above the title at the moment??
