8 years ago today Shawn Michaels and John Cena wrestled a 55 minute match live on Raw. Can not believe that happened. Outside of Iron Man matches I can't see a WWE match being 45 minutes or longer.

Honestly, I prefer matches that just so happen to be an hour long rather than an hour long match with multiple pins and submissions.

If the WWE wanted a great match they could just give guys like Ziggler, Barrett, Nevile, Owens, etc. and tell them they have 20~ minutes to just go.

Bryan got over on his own...I bet most casual fans forget he was even part of the group.

June 15th. 12 years ago, Bad Blood 2003 was held in Houston. On that show Rene Dupree became the youngest person ever to hold a title in WWE, winning the World Tag Team titles at just 19. June 18th. 14 years ago DDP was revealed as the stalker on Raw. June 23rd. 12 years ago on Raw, Kane unmasked for the first time. June 24th. 14 years ago, King Of The Ring 2001.
