put them in a decent match. Have the crowd actually respect them, and go from there. WWE is using their old playbook with this Ryback, Clay, and Albert garbage. Its boring.


yea, evidently the only way to build up a guy is he has to be 6'5 300+ pounds for you to get debut promos and matches w/o them forgetting about you a month after your debut. it's ridiculous they have 3 guys on the roster right now who only do squash matches (and sandow is probably headed down that road too)

Why should anyone care about Lesnar anymore?

pretty much, they're trying to limit his appearances right now since they can only book him for so much (which is why they have heyman representing him)

annoying thing is hhh vs lesnar will main event that show where it'd be great if that'd be the finish/climax to the punk/bryan feud (in my dream id envision an iron match to main event it)

But with Show knocking out Cena with one punch does Lesnar still look strong?

Yes. Why wouldn't he? Cena got knocked the **** out when he wasn't expecting it. Lesnar is a mammoth heel.

Wow... Bryan-Punk was a **** clinic. Is there a single flaw be found in that match? Perfect sell job by both guys, perfect pacing and a finish that keeps these two wrestling until the end of time, hopefully. What I loved was that is wasn't a huge finisher fest. Both guys have enough in their arsenal to go 20+ minutes without spamming their big moves at the end. That leaves the door WIDE OPEN for a series of matches culminating in an intense final match with that big moment when Punk finally hits the GTS and to his surprise, Bryan kicks out.

God I'm excited.

The Cena match was 17 minutes long, and the Bryan match was 23 minutes. Could anyone explain that? The Bryan match should have been around 30 minutes and the Cena match should have been given 10 minutes maximum. Sometimes I really question Vince's judgment.

I thought the length of Bryan-Punk was just fine.

And Cena-Johnny contains shenanigans, which kind of break up a match and doesn't make it seem as long. I'm not saying it was good, but it's not like it was 17 minutes of pure **** wrestling. It was like 2 minutes of **** wrestling, shenanigans, **** wrestling again, then more shenanigans, etc.

What sense would it make to give the biggest star in the company a 10 minute match on a PPV?

I always thought it was weird that Austin-Hall only went 10 minutes at WM18.

But he was facing Cena for heavens sake. Johnny should of beaten him down in less than 5 mins.

I think the complaint here is order. Usually y'all are up in arms about the order of Cena always being last match. If there was ever a time to complain it was about this one. Big shows heel turn is not big enough to main event that. This was like Kane-Cena at EC. It should have been done in the middle.

I figured it went without saying, haha. You're absolutely right about this one, and EC. Punk should have finished the show.
