[Celtics_Champs]

Section 1

1. Big Show - 4 - He would be lower but for some reason I liked his work with Punk and Cena last night.
2. John Cena - 6 - It's easy to hate Cena, but I think his best work in the current everybody hates cena run was from summer of last year till extreme rules 2012. After Extreme rules he's been meh for me again.
3. Sheamus - 6 - His best matches have been the stiff ones with Tensai
4. CM Punk - 8 - I haven't seen anything wrong, but nothings wowed me either in the last couple of months. Heel turn was good I guess.
5. Alberto Del Rio - 8 - Guy really stepped up his work on the mic and in the ring in this current sheamus feud.
6. Dolph Ziggler - 8 - amazing seller, amazing on the mic. Always my favorite match to watch.
7. Daniel Bryan - 8 - Enough of this Kane, AJ, Crazy crap. He can easily get 10.
8. Kane - 3 - yawn.
9. Ryback - 7 - Hahah, love ryback. FEED ME MORE!
10. Chris Jericho - 7 - Loved his face turn, has been consistent since coming back.
11. Damien Sandow - 7 - Does some great things on the mic, ready for that mid-card push.
12. The Miz - 6 - that's not a shot at miz. I've been pleased with him since his return. Maybe it's because he's back in the mid-card where he belongs. Not main eventing every ppv.
13. Christian - 5 - It's not his fault.
14. Sin Cara - 3 - bust!
15. Santino - 6 - Glad he was stripped of the us championship.

Section 2
I will give you the names of different wrestling companies, and I would like you to give them a score on that same 1 to 10 scale.

1. WWE - 8 - Good stuff, always room for improvement.
2. TNA - 7.5 - On their way maybe...
3. ROH - N/A - Don't watch, how's eddie edwards doing?

Section 3
I will give you the name of 5 recent Pay Per Views, and I would like you to give them a score from 1 to 10.
1 is "I strongly disapprove of this show"
10 is "I strongly approve of this show"

1. WWE Summerslam - 7 - was good. Coulda been better.
2. WWE Money in the Bank - 8 - I felt I was too hard on this show at the time because I expected a bunch of surprises. But if you went into it fresh no ideas in your head, then it was a good show.
3. WWE No Way Out - 6 - I can't even remember this one.
4. TNA Hardcore Justice - N/A
5. TNA Destination X -N/A


Thank you! Now we have some demographic questions, and then we're all finished.

1. In which era did you first start watching wrestling? - It's taken me a long time to come up with the exact episode. But I believe it was a couple weeks after hogan turned heel.
2. WCW or WWE? - Watched WCW for 2-3 years before I was watching WWF (started the week of Wrestlemania in Boston. With Tyson/DX vs Austin).
3. "Let's Go Cena" or "Cena Sucks"? - I don't mind cheering for cena..
4. Stanford or Celtics_Champs? - Stanford gets the nod for making this cool thread.

[BIGGIEsmalls 23]

You only have WWE wrestlers listed.

[Stanford]

Would you like to speak with my supervisor?

[BIGGIEsmalls 23]

No sir. I was just pointing it out, my friend.

[Stanford]

More more more!

[kdawg32086]

Section 1
1. Big Show 1...can he hurry up and retire already? He hasn't been relevant since he left WCW.
2. John Cena 5...I hate Super Cena but the general WWE fan likes it so I can't hate too much
3. Sheamus 9...Triple H's buddy or not, I'm a HUGE fan and think he's the future of WWE
4. CM Punk 10...can't say anything bad about the guy at the moment.
5. Alberto Del Rio 8...would be a 10 if he still over pronounced his own name.
6. Dolph Ziggler 10...he's absolutely killing it right now.
7. Daniel Bryan 8.5...YES! YES! YES!
8. Kane 1...Kane needs to retire too.
9. Ryback 2...this "finish it" and "feed me more" crap is getting annoying
10. Chris Jericho 8...too bad he's probably gone for good
11. Damien Sandow 1...intellectual savior or not, this guy is incredibly boring
12. The Miz 4....never been a fan, he should go back to the Real World
13. Christian 9...WWE is underutilizing him but he's still handling it like a champ
14. Sin Cara 2...you could probably make 10 episodes of botchamania with this guy alone.
15. Santino 3...COBRA!!!!

Section 2
1. WWE 6 Under-utilizing Christian, who could be as big as The Rock if he had been used properly.
2. TNA 5...Get rid of Hogan and Sting. Bring in new talent. Don't screw up Aces & 8's.

[Stanford]

#Heel

Thanks dude!

[Celtics_Champs]

I can't tell if it's a joke or not

[Stanford]

[kdawg32086]

I can't tell if it's a joke or not

If it wasn't a joke, I probably would've been warned or suspended by now...

[Celtics_Champs]

Lawl, I was kidding.
