Re: Diverging Paths - A Current WWE BTB
Raw feedback
-Steph announces some pretty good matches to end 2008. 10-man over-the-top-rope battle royal should be good.
-Marella vs. Regal would essentially be a comedy match, what Santino match isn't? Even though it's heel versus heel, it would still work. The right man went over too. Decent enough.
-lol, this women's thing is a bit confusing but I think I understand now. Would've preferred Melina going at it, but then again, Kelly Kelly needs a bit of a push, she is the future I guess. Natalya versus Beth or Mickie versus Beth will be good matches. Hopefully Natala, although I wouldn't rule out Kelly x2.
-So I guess you've fully turned Kane face then. Meh, I prefer him as a heel personally. When he's a face he ends up jobbing and looking like a bit of a loser, and you did the same here. Kane's supposed to be more of a monster-type character, but you had him get beaten up by JBL. Didn't like it. Hopefully you're going somewhere with this feud though.
-Good recap of the mini-Rumble here. I like Orton putting pressure on Rhodes and Manu too. I do hope you're not having Sim Snuka in the Legacy though; he reminds me of Braden Walker tbh. Cody Rhodes was given a decent rub in this match, and you kept a strong champion in the process which is obviously important. Rhodes' push is up and going it looks like. Batista should've stayed in a bit longer though probably. Regardless, good match, fans would've loved it. I'm not too keen on Rhodes' new finisher though, Manu's is good. Priceless Facebuster... meh, I don't know, maybe it'll grow on me.
-Now unless you're planning on pulling a Russo-esque swerve, I guess The Rock is coming back. I'm not his biggest fan, and realism is essentially out of the window, but at WrestleMania time, which you're approaching, you need a good draw, and you've certainly got one, if you're planning on him having a 'Mania match. However, I'd be disappointed if he ended up winning the Rumble or the title. That's just me.
-A good highlight package of the main event here. Punk instead of JBL is a good move. lol - how many interferences? Well fair enough, it wasn't a pay-per-view match. I'm not sure I really like the Orton/Finlay feud, but, having Rhodes and Manu helping him out in a big-ish feud helps them get some heat of their own, plus attacking Hornswoggle. This is a WCW or TNA match, which had an anti-climatic ending with the no contest. Frustrating, but, of course, you've got me interested in what's going to happen next week, so mission accomplished I guess.
OVERALL: I'm interested in what's going to happen next week, and at the Rumble, so you've obviously done a good job in hyping the PPV and the feuds. I'm interested to see who will be named the number one contender, and if and when The Rock will debut. The Rumble most likely. The JBL/Kane feud and Orton/Finlay feud aren't that interesting, but I'll see what happens. I think it might be leading to more of a Stephanie/Legacy feud. Could be wrong. Anyway, good show for what it was, the spelling and grammar was perfect, the presentation was good too, the match quality was pretty good with the battle royal and the main event, realism was out the window with The Rock's return, but realism isn't essential.
