I'll concur with all the nominations here and add Undertaker vs Kane from WM XIV to the list as well.

- Unifying the WWE and World Heavyweight belts was among the worst things the company could've done, for reasons I've thrown about in a ton of threads since it's happened. With the talent pool the company has there should be more guys in big-time feuds and competing for big-time titles. It creates more opportunities to test the waters with a guy rather than hotshot him into the company's biggest title, and it creates fresh feuds on the main event stage. There's only so many days in a calendar year and when you want/hope for guys X Y and Z to be champion but all have lengthy, meaningful reigns with only one belt, guy X could very well be shoved down to the midcard for a year, a position likely to disgruntle the guy while putting him in a scenario where the crowd doesn't feel he belongs (see: Daniel Bryan). Realistically, one could see Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose, Ryback, etc. being a World Champion, but under no circumstances could any of them carry the company's sole World Title for a period of time. With the WHC, it makes it possible for guys like that to be a World Champion, be in that upper eschelon of talent where they deserve, while still not having the burden of being the #1 press guy, main-event-every-night guy where they might not necessarily belong. I guarantee you without a shadow of doubt that if Reigns won the Rumble and went on to face, let's say Rollins, for the World Heavyweight Championship instead of Brock's WWE Title, at least three-quarters of the anti-Reigns group (hell, myself included) wouldn't be complaining at the level which we are. In hindsight, it was a crappy move to unify the belts and constrict the main event picture to such a miniscule and downright "blah" group.

- On the same route, there should be no talk at all of unifying the Intercontinental and United States Championships. Hell, bring back the European Title or Hardcore or Cruiserweight or some other lower-midcard belt while they're at it. More titles is perfectly fine. "Oh the belts are just props nowadays, they don't mean anything." Guys, the premise of belts in the lore of wrestling history AS A WHOLE is to be a glorified prop that people fight over. People win this shiny prop and carry it around for a while until someone else wins it, wash, rinse, repeat. Belts give a more natural and better feud than some of the BS we've gotten from the recent singles feuds (hell, remember when we had those? Like legit, thought-out feuds with no title involved?). Again, they give guys something to do; instead of those pointless Raw matches we get week in and week out, we get matches that revolve around the belt. Again, fresh match-ups evolve from the use of a title. Belts, titles, championships--they make the (wrestling) world go 'round.

- Konnor f'n sucks, but Viktor's pretty good.

Vince just walks in...



walks out.

I think if he would've legitimately gotten hurt on it, it'd be on this list too: 'Taker's headfirst dive onto the floor at WM 25. Looked nasty and the glazed-over eyes UT shot out immediately after looked gruesome.

Ladies and Gentlemen was without a doubt the best WM theme of all-time. Such a big time feel that perfectly complemented the first stadium WM in the current streak.

Eight man isn't bad, but with the talent level in the match it's gonna be hard for all of them to look good for a substantial amount of time (like the WM 25 Money in the Bank had an aging Finlay and non-entertaining Mark Henry to offset guys like Christian and MVP). Like some of y'all have said Goldust/Stardust 2/3 falls on the pre-show would be good.

As bad as I'd want Demott as far away from WWE's future as possible, I think he's around because while the berating of talent is true, the bullying/physical punishment/etc. is not. WWE as a whole, Vince, and HHH would not be dumb enough to keep this guy around after, what, 2 years of hearing the same reports of developmentals talking about the bad things he's done?

My only gripe with his situation is Ambrose likely won't get his first non-Shield PPV win yet. I'm all for the post-'Mania Bryan/Ziggler feud.

Bingo. Give me a reason as a fan to like the guy--while Lesnar is the bigger name Rusev garners more heat. It's easier for a guy like Roman to be a good guy when paired up against Rusev (who'll make him look like a million bucks too) than struggling to hold his own on the mic against Heyman for five weeks and suddenly beat the biggest name in the company outta nowhere.
