Yes dirtsheets said that Lesnar was angry Cena pulled the top rope down on purpose but looking at that gif you can clearly see Lesnar overshot and tumbled out the ring, so again dirtsheets talking out their asses by making stuff up to get hits.
I watched the 2nd half of "Smackdown" last night Afterwards, I got to thinking about it... Not finalized, but I am slowly working my way away from being a WWE fan at all.
Why?! Few reasons.
1] They actually have Cena who is (IMO) still the active "face" of the company, in a match at their next PPV against a man I have no interest in seeing wrestle.
2] At the same PPV, the main belt of their "flagship" show will be defended by a great wrestler (both in ROH or WWE) against a man who lost the other WWE show's main belt in less than a minute against a man who has no business ever holding it at what the company sometimes calls the "biggest show of them all". (He also, that I recall, had previously never won a HW belt by pinning someone in a main 1-on-1 match.)
3] They go from a great female Champion, to someone who will leave the company in under a month, to a Champ who has no business being in singles matches at all, let alone for the belt.
These are just the reasons that come to mind at the moment.

From a storytelling aspect I understand his point. Why have someone who has just lost the WHC, compete for the WWE Championship?
As for whos better, its subjective.

I appreciate that you agree with me. However, my problem has nothing to do with the fact he recently lost the other (which I didn't like), & more to do with to-whom & how-quickly. Someone who lose that quickly to that guy in a Title match at their big one should basically drop to the proverbial bottom rung.

2] Develop feud? I don't think they did, nor do they need to. Anyone that has a belt should, for that reason, be a focal point & have a proverbial target somewhere on their anatomy.

Just so I'm clear, are you saying that Sheamus beating Bryan in 18seconds didn't develop their feud? The whole second month of the feud was based around Bryan dumping AJ blaming her for the quick loss, Sheamus taunting Bryan over the loss and Bryan wanting to prove him and everyone wrong at Extreme Rules by beating him twice. They then had a MOTY candidate (IMO) with Bryan taking Sheamus to the limit. Without the 18 second loss there was no basis for the rematch and if they had continued the feud it would have been as uneventful and boring as the road to wrestlemania between the two was.
Beat the Clock really isn't the way to go get a #1 Contender. They want to give off the vibe that they want to win as quickly as possible yet have to do meaningless stalls to go the time booked. Then they have guys like Jericho who fucked up their finish and actually beat the clock when he wasn't supposed to. Then they have to have the guy they want as the #1 contender win in two minutes and make the #1 contender match seem worthless and throwaway. Like "#1 Contder for PRESTIGIOUS WWE Championship" is just another shitty segment on Raw instead of meaning something.
Vince got mad because Jericho screwed the finish, but it's such a shitty concept he should be blaming whoever came up with it years ago. I really hope Beat the Clock never shows up again. Or if it does it shouldn't be for a World Title #1 contender thingy.
The thing with the Beat the Clock is the times need to get progressively lower throughout the night, they started way too short at 4 and a half minutes and some of the match ups were just wrong; Kane v Khali and Lawler being involved. If done right I think it can be a good way to set up a challenger for the title but unfortunately this week's really wasn't executed well at all, but on the plus side it did set up Bryan v Punk which should be a great match at OTL.
I've just been watching some old Eddie Guerrero matches from his Viva La Raza DVD and my favourite match so far was the one against Rey Mysterio on Nitro, they just had a really great chemistry together, what are people's favourite match between the two? personally I don't think Halloween Havoc can be touched, that match was just insane and an example of cruiserweight wrestling at it's finest
Trade off. Austin puts over HHH, Rock puts him over. Besides, the way it happened they really put each other over. They knocked each other out and HHH just happened to fall on top of Austin and not vice versa. I think they were put over as equals, which was good for HHH as he was gonna face Taker at Mania.

Anyone who also bought the new Edge Bluray and watched the off-air segment from SD Edge Appreciation Night? Really cool segment and good that WWE put it on the Bluray. Really recommended.

No I didn't buy the blu-ray because I don't own a blu-ray player but I've been looking for a place to watch this for the longest time. If anyone would care to help me out...
