:lol @ The GAME-Booker T feud recap "Somebody LIKE YOU doesn't get to be World Champion" and "You're a five time WCW champion but let's face it, that place was a JOKE" , then he proceeds to dress up like Ric Flair and say "there's only one diamond in this business, and you're looking at him" ... Trips had DAT STRANGLEHOLD on the WHC scene then holy shit.

I swear to god if you ever read his book, if you read the wrestling based chapters than you can see he's to Flair what some of The Rock marks on here are to Rock ; they just don't like Rock, they want to cut Rock open and be INSIDE of him.... His love for Flair sometimes gets REALLY QUESTIONABLE.. It's hilarious.

Since Trips will have a stranglehold on WRESTLING as we know it come 5-10 years, you gotta believe that he's gonna go crazy and market Flair as the GOAT like everybody knows he should be. Then again, he'll probably market the shit out of Taker and HBK too.

If Flair, HBK, and Taker were remembered as the three greatest the WWE has ever seen, I'd be completely cool with that :p

Watching the hype video for Hogan/McMahon now, GOD DAMN what a job they did with this one, they've really hyped this up to be a fucking HUGE match. Anthology version uses REAL AMERICAN for Hogan's entrance, whereas the original Mania XIX DVD uses Voodoo child which I always felt suited him just fine believe it or not. It's nice to have both copies but of all matches why is THIS ONE ON THE COVER ?!??!

I forgot to mention about how EVOLUTION GAME IN 2003 was essentially if Ric Flair's character was crossed with RYBACK'S in ring work. Although the WWE REALLY didn't fucking help him when it came to giving him Steiner (2003 Steiner anyways), Nash, and Goldberg on literally 9 out of 10 PPVS. Has to be the worst string of opponents (besides Booker of course, he's okay) that anybody has had in a single year EVER. The STEINER matches (while hilarious) , GOLDBERG matches, and the Judgment Day NASH match are still inexcusable though.

Turning the Walls of Jericho into the YES/NO Lock was a great spot. Didn't ruin any credibility of the hold. Don't know if anyone jumped to that conclusion.
Well I always used my dad as my personal test dummy as to what casuals think when they watch wrestling. The first thing he told me after the match was "What happened? Did the Walls of Jericho suddenly get soft?" And I knew that's exactly what he was going to say. Without knowing it, casual fans do in fact care about psychology. I'm not saying the spot didn't have psychology but to think that Jericho had him in the hold for quite some time and he Bryan didn't even like bother to hold his back for some time when both men were on their feet was just that little nit pick of mine.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I marked the hell out for the reversal spot but overall the match was just....meh. Didn't care for it. Would much rather watch their encounter from NXT. The RAW match just felt like they tried to cram 20 minutes worth of action if a what sub 10 minute match? The match just didn't feel natural.

Am i the only one who enjoyed the heck out of Hogan/Vince? The match seems to get hated on a lot. That and HBK/Vince from WM 22.

Overall, WM 19 was one of the best damn Manias of all time. Some may even say it was the greatest but that will always be 24 for me :p

And just a little thought I have to point out, does anyone else think that the Elimination Chamber theme song is one of the best damned theme songs WWE has ever used for a PPV? As a matter of fact I think it will be an even more kick-ass song for RAW or SD. Just my thoughts.

Hogan vs Vince is a ton of fun. I'm a fan. People who don't like Michaels vs Vince don't understand what fun is either apparently. Best squash match ever. (maybe)

This goes back to Vince's catalog of matches being so strong. They're not always "pretty". Never tried to be. They're wonderfully entertaining.

OMFG MICHAELS-VINCE HOLY SHIT. Didn't PWI give that MOTY ?

I ADORED that fucking match and thought it was the funnest thing ever, Vince knows how to take a beating and he knows how to tell a story in the ring. I wouldn't call Hogan-Vince a squash since Vince has a control segment in the beginning, batters Hogan with a steel chair, and puts Hogan through a table. THAT VINNE MAC LOOK WHEN HE RAISES HIS FACE ABOVE THE APRON BAH GAWD.

I'm loving this shit right now. Definitely the most fun I've had with a match in a while for sure... And I've seen this like 5 times already.

So I'm watching some random ass matches and I just found, what I believe to be, a little gem of a match in Swagger vs Bourne from Capitol Punishment.

Next on my playlist, Ziggler vs Morrisson from Survivor Series 2011. Like Swagger/Bourne, I don't recall this match ever happening. Maybe all that Never Before, Never Again just overshadowed everything.
 
#17,835 ·
Never before, never again.... THANK FUCK.

THAT MATCH IS NOT GOOD :p.

The weird thing is that I don't even care about Rock/Cena II , I've just accepted it and tried to look for the positives in it. The thing I can't fucking STAND though is how ROCK is champion while CENA is the challenger. If ANYTHING, they could have just switched that shit around and had Rock win the title and have Punk drop it to Cena @ Survivor Series or some shit like that to blow off their feud.

I can't stand the fact that somebody who barely wrestles and cuts the shittiest promos imaginable whilst at the same time neglecting to mention the fact that he's champion or build up to his match at all in favor "entertaining" the live crowd is the WWE champion, FUCK. Who cares if we got Rock/Punk twice and that was an indication of how big Punk is, the match fucking BLEW and this next match is probably gonna BLOW too.

Cena may cut some of the most mind blowingly bad promos ever sometimes but atleast he's capable of WORKING A MATCH. I'm sure Cena will carry Rocky to a good match @ Mania just like last year (his style works WAY better than Punk's style against Rock TRUST ME) but FUCK.. Do we really have to suffer through 70 days of a guy who doesn't even wrestle and is the equivalent of if Jason Statham or Vin Diesel or somebody came and won the belt ?

UGH. MINI RANT OVER. THANK GOD FOR CENA NEEDING A WIN BACK SO I CAN SEE THE LOOK ON EVERYBODY IN METLIFE'S FACES WHEN IT HAPPENS.

:cena3

Yeah, I'm totally dead towards this feud. Just have John-boy own the guy already and move on. I can't believe WWE thinks all their fans would actually care about this match and program. Last year, fine. I get that. This year? The second time around...why? I'll get a kick out of Cena finally pinning him, but the pay off isn't worth it. I'd rather have Rock say "I beat Cena in the only time we duked it out."
 
#17,839 ·
Rock/Cena very well might be Rock's last match ever. When Rock loses, the crowd will boo for alittle bit (duh, as they should). But the crowd is going to realize that probably is the end of Rock's career and will turn their attention to him and give him a standing ovation for his career (certainly not the shit match, I'm sure we'll get). Cena will win the match, but it'll be a Rock moment as the crowd sends him off.
