Wait, isn't 'Taker himself a part-timer? Why complain about Lesnar winning being a part-timer when the part-timer's been winning EVERY YEAR for the past 2 decades?

I love how people don't want Brock breaking the streak but were all for Sting or even Cena breaking it.

It shocked the crowd. That was the payoff from it. That was the match that, regardless of what happened during the match, the aftermath's gonna be talked about for the next 50 years. I'd much rather have an established ass-kicker like Lesnar break it than someone who hasn't been on the roster a full year that has plenty of time to be pushed.

yup, a good chunk of the main feuds from the previous year, especially if they began anywhere between Summerslam and New Year's Eve, culminate at Wrestlemania, so those last reminants of the previous year aren't complete until around this time, and the payoff is the season finale at 'Mania, and the new 'season' of WWE is the following night on Raw when we deal with the fallout from the last season.

I'm all for ripping off March Madness but I'd rather go quality matches over quantity. Eight or sixteen-man field, comprised of some perennial midcarders (Kidd, Kingston, etc.) and some established guys (Sheamus, eventually Reigns, etc.) and have the tournament riddled with upsets in high-quality matches. It would garner some momentum and get the fans behind the up-and-comer and further legitimize his push.

Living Colour last year was the only one where the entrance flowed smoothly and didn't feel like the performance didn't detract from the entrance. Triple H's from 2002 (and '05) were garbage because it was more about the the band than the entrance. I have no problem with a band performing a theme song, but any live performance of one's theme song at any event should focus on the wrestler and not the band because, after all, it is a wrestling event.

Yes yes YES. Lest we forget The Miz was getting the company's biggest heat as a midcard heel from late 2009 until he won the belt. He was getting some of the biggest reactions on the card, heel or face. His mic work was fantastic compared to the promos and interviews the main event crowd gave in that time. Not to mention his in-ring work improved tremendously and the little things like his mannerisms and his overall attire and look got better. He had all the reason for the push and the fact that people then (and even now) bitched and moaned for newer guys to break into the main event, further justified his reign. It was just that he got sh*t on by booking and had to make Jerry Lawler look like a threat to his belt. That's the crappy part: if he was perceived as a legitimate champion and not John Cena's championship travel bag his reign wouldn't be looked upon so badly. Hell, even if he was booked as an upper-midcard/possible threat to the World Title from when he dropped it to the present day, he wouldn't look so bad as champion now. Nowadays, with him in this face/heel limbo state with absolutely no direction, we look at him and say "That guy was the company's top champion a few years ago?"

I hate to sound like the IWC smark but it all boils down to Cena. People get the belt and get thrown into crappy situations because booking is more concerned with what they're gonna do when Cena gets the belt than when the guy is actually champion. Sheamus in 2009 was a prime example as well: won it with zero momentum, had a DQ finish at the Rumble, and dropped it in the EC like his reign didn't even matter, just so they could fuel a John Cena/Batista rivalry over the belt. Del Rio in 2011 (although he should've definitely stayed the hell away from that scenario and left it to Punk/Cena finishing business): pushed when no one cared about him, brought the belt out of the rivalry (and in turn pushed Punk outta the title picture legimiately for two months, three if you don't count the one-off at HiAC), and just loses it to Cena 3 weeks later for no reason. Wins it again 3 weeks later after a "pad Cena's stats" reign and floats around cutting mediocre promos and getting figureatively and literally beaten by both Cena and Punk before dropping the title.

Sorry to bump this from two days but I was thinking: the guy who does Bray's theme already confirmed that he's playing Bray to the ring, no? Let's take a look at some notable entrances with artists playing the superstar to the ring:

Triple H at Wrestlemania 21 (lost)
Chris Jericho at Survivor Series 2002 (lost)
CM Punk at Wrestlemania 29 (lost)

Didn't HBK have the DX Band at Wrestlemania XIV? If so that's another loss. The only winning superstar that was played to the ring by a live performance that I can think of was Triple H at Wrestlemania X8. I want Bray to win and I hate to be a negative Nancy but history's told us that Mark Crozer playing him to the ring may have sealed his fate.

I loved Beer Money, and I always wanted one of those cooler scooters James Storm rode.

Kane. when I was little i thought it was cool how he did the fire pyro thing.
