Bryan vs HBK
Bryan vs Cena
Shield splitting up

And the most unlikely - Corporate Cena

Even had Ambrose acknowledging his fangirls who swoon over his looks :lol:

I like where Tons of Funk is heading. They're much more interesting as a monster heel tag team than a comedy joke stable

Also, Eve Torres :droop:


I gotta admit, aside from putting Bryan on the shelf the past couple months, writers have done a much better job with storylines past half year. Been very entertaining and surprising. Except HHH screwing over Bryan, I knew that was happening.

Tons of Funk definitely needed that, they are so dry now.

Am I also one of the few Miz fans left? I mean I like his mic skills, but he is lethargic in the ring. He needs to slim down and get better, because he's VERY average right now.

Oh and last but not least, I like that they still have Sandov in the thick of things, but Ziggler IMO is a big time player, and should still consistently get important matches. US title maybe? Ambrose has that right now though, so that might be difficult. But out of all the guys who they had as world champions at one point, he's one of the few guys who can still hold a lower level belt. Especially with the title unification, I'd like to see more titles come back. Too big of a roster, not enough to fight for.


tbh I can't speak for any wrestler since I came back from watching wrestling just this year around when the buildup to Battleground was happening. I think I stopped watching around 2006 or 2007, watched casually in 2009 or 2010 and I didn't like the product so I stopped again. So I don't know how to judge the Miz

I visit wrestling forums and most say he's one of the worst WWE champions. I've seen some of his promos during his reign, while teaming with R-Truth and this year and they weren't that bad. He's not main event material but he's midcard worthy IMO

Ziggler got buried deep. It's sad because he's really solid and he gets loud pops. He's upper midcard to pseudo main eventer IMO. Don't think he'll feud with Ambrose again though. He's in his mid 30's so at the very least I hope 2014 will be a good year for him

Can't wait for all the Shield members to go solo too

At least Ziggler is fighting Fandango in the pre-show. That's going to be a GREAT wrestling match.

I'm really surprised there's just a TLC match. Usually you have one of those, and at least one ladder match, chair match, and table match individually. Can't say I mind though, seems less forced.

Did not expect someone to actually win the match at the end. I thought each guy would grab the other's belt. Not a bad finish.

Yeah Orton-Cena was OK I guess. Fairly disappointed of having just 1 gimmick match though

Had they scrapped out Show-Mysterio for the Usos in the tag team match + make it a ladders match, it would've been more exciting IMO. But then again, how would they win? :lol:

Orton was gold in the recent RAW. That's the Orton I remember when I stopped watching in like 2006

I also didn't realize there won't be any PPVs for the next 6 weeks :o

Yea im starting to like Orton as the champ, he seems to be getting better at being the stuck up "face of the WWE."

No one knows for sure yet. They debuted that WWE title less than a year ago so getting rid of it now seems like a waste to me. I have a feeling they'll retire the World Heavyweight belt and just make the WWE belt the title for both championships.

Though unlikely, I'm rooting for Randy Orton to have a similar heel champion run as Bully Ray did. Orton needs to find his niche as best heel in the business.

I would think so too.

They might make a new title belt, due to the fact that they are planning on having a new wwe logo soon. It would seem weird to have the title belt having a huge old logo. Might just have an updated logo though on the belt with the same design.

He's the new Director of Operations, aligned with The Authority. I love the new gimmick for him. His role has been minimal, but it's definitely a fresh look for him. I think part of why he's doing it is because of his growing career in politics outside the WWE.

Hmm..I wonder where they'd fit him in storyline wise. Lesnar?
