And Batista wins the Royal Rumble, then goes up the ramp flipping off the fans as he goes. What's that sound? Oh yes, it's the audience farting on your product WWE

I'm calling Bryan winning the EC and insta-rejoining the family right now.

No, he's walked. I can understand his frustrations. Personally, I've always felt that Punk was a better heel than face, so I can't see why WWE wouldn't place him at #1 heel spot instead of Orton. I mean, I know WHY Orton is where he is, but WWE need to learn their nepotism is going to be the death of them.

That comment was over 2 weeks ago.
At that point no one was sure it's only become crystal clear afterwards.

With regard to Orton the problem is that he doesn't work well as a heel in the PG era. Simply put unless he his terrorizing women in their homes or kicking people in the head he/his character doesn't have enough depth to pull it off.
Then you get him as a face and his nickname of Borton needs no explaining.

It's a shame really because as John Layfield rightly says on commentary if you were to build a WWE superstar from the ground up it WOULD look like Randy Orton but you would just have to add a HUGE amount of personallity.

Elimination Chamber was average.
The chamber match was good to watch but Shield V's The Wyatt's was superb....... Amazing how the audience can get into a match when it is built over a period of time.

Have to ask though.

Is anyone else getting annoyed with the way WWE has started zooming the camera in an out when there is a beat down....... Have only noticed it recently but find it almost making it unwatchable?

No Sting for WM then. :( Don't see it ever happening now. Resent WWE for this, because they had a chance 13 years ago when they bought WCW to do the biggest storyline in wrestling history, but at face value were too tight to spend the money. At the same time they wasted £50million on a flop football league.
Sting is probably too old now anyway, but will always wonder what dream matches he could have had with Taker, HBK, Rock etc if WWE had done what they do now with Lesnar and Batista - made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
Speaking of Batista, I recently read his 2008 WWE autobiography and in parts he comes across as a nice guy, but when you come back at 45 for huge money and get pushed instantly as a main eventer despite so far poor efforts, don't be surprised to get booed out of the building. His match against Orton will be interesting, but maybe not in a good way. ;)






"The Mail understands..." NOTHING! :SUBMISSION: :lol:

WWE. It only counts if you did it while working for them. Anything done elsewhere, regardless of what it was, how many tickets you sold or whatever else, does not count.

And it's so good to see Batista doing John Cena's "I'm here for the fans even if they boo me or cheer me" rubbish. The fans are against him PLUS his character has always worked better as a heel. So, you've got this guy who the fans are legitimately booing and this guy who, not only wrestling fans in arenas but people in the wider world are chanting for, why on earth would you pi$$ those buyrates away by sticking with a "putting the boss' son in laws mates in main events" stance?
