I think this will teach them a lesson concerning bringing old wrestlers back to be main eventers and champions for WrestleMania. They did it once with The Rock. Fine. But hesThe Rock! He is one of the few wrestlers they could do that and get away with it. Steve Austin and Undertaker is another.

But Bastista? This has been one of the biggest flops ever. They brought him in to be a big face against RKO for WrestleMania but now he has no choice but to turn heel because people aren't having it.

Batista vs Randy Orton will be one of the worst WM main events ever unless they fix this. The only logical choice to save it would be to bring Daniel Bryan in as a 3 way title match.

But the WWE isn't all that bright.


i agree 100% with you, it sucks that the WWE tries every year to bring a known superstar back at wrestlemania... even though the past few times with the rock has worked it just isnt fair to the wrestlers that are there night after night. Now that cm punk has broken the barrier to show the fans how wwe treats their talent, all the fans have shown their hatred for those who run the show. Its funny how as soon as Batista came back they were forced to turn him heel since the crowd showed that they hated him. Hopefully the WWE listens to the crowd again and either brings CM punk back to fight in the main event against Orton and Batista or they let Daniel Bryan fight in punk's place. It really sucked that there was so much hype for Punk to come back last monday on raw but he didnt show. I think that if Punk actually doesnt come back to the WWE then its most likely that they enter Danial Bryan into that match with orton and batista. But if Punk does come back, and hopefully he does, then they will have him in that match and Daniel Bryan fighting against Triple H.

Yeah no doubt. I seriously think the wwe writers just dont know what to do or what direction to take. They are SO out of touch. But I find that nearly impossible considering their whole operation nowadays, is based on social media. They more than anyone other major media franchise should know exactly the pulse of the fans and what they like or dislike. For them to not see it or worse, ignore it, well...I have no words for that.

They should hire fans to be writers. Hell anyone could be better than what they have.

I haven't been a fan for about a decade but...damn...what the heck happened with Batista? He looks like crap. It's not jus the lost bulk but his face...can't tell if it's real bad botox injections to his face or too much drug and alcohol use (same look).

Yea i wish they used Cole more and made him heel again. I think they're trying to make that Bad news Barrett thing be the new one. It sorta sucks but i think that its starting to get a little better now since we expect it now... when he first started doing it, it was so random and out of the blue that no one even paid attention to what he was saying.

What special entrances would you guys like to see on WM 30?

It's likely they'd have more special entrances since it's the special 30th anniversary and all

-If the Shield haven't broken up yet, I hope they have Ambrose driving a SWAT truck, Rollins on the roof and as it swerves at the front of the ring, out comes Reigns from the back door

-If they broke up by then, their music hits, the three of them come out at the same time from the crowd but apart and from different locations. Have them be accompanied by men dressed with SWAT attire with alternate uniforms for each member of the Shield so that they can be distinguished

-Brock Lesnar with an MMA entourage would look cool too

Holy crap, I was watching WWE on some other channel the other day and saw the NAO. I can't believe those old bastards are still around using the same face routine entrance. Perhaps I should start following wrestling again.

Daniel Bryan should crowd-surf all the way from the nosebleeds to the ring.

I'm going to the raw at barclays , n I will definitely not be on the yes bandwagon, I believe the wwe us missing the big bad wolf, now I know they have brock, the watts, n Orton , but I don't feel as if there's an evil top heel dog... I guess I was spoiled by the attitude/nitro wars.

Bray is gonna have his entrance played by the artist live, He has the best entrance next to the undertaker. That long walk to the ring is gonna be amazing. They should hand out sheep masks to the crowd, that would be cool.

Cuffed former diva Kristal Marshall & went the Batista route to try MMA.
I never really liked him. Just had a dry personality. No charisma. Felt like a forced character.

Just came back from a live event at MSG. 1st time having floor seats ever.

Batista's a complete heel now.

I think Daniel Bryan gets in the main event.
