So did fake Sin Cara get fired yet? My god that was a train wreck.

I guess fake Sin Cara got the spot originally pegged for Averno. They probably took one look at that chubby bastard and pulled the contract right off the table.

Kevin Von Erich tweeted...

The WWE supercard last night was bad. The cage used to be for the blow off to a big feud. Now they use it to set up the next TV taping.Sad

Obviously understand and agree with the idea of his statement...but wasn't the famous Christmas Day cage match in 1982 what launched the Von Erichs/Freebirds feud?

Yup.

But to support his point a bit, people who weren't even born yet still talk about the 1982 angle, and nobody will remember last night's matches by next week.

pretty sure that Cage match was the blow off of Flair and Kerry

any1 remember way baq when...

2 months or so, when CM Punk cut a vicious promo at the end of Raw, and every1 was buzzing about Raw going into MITB and coming out of MITB...

Shhh ... hes going to make that Punk Kid ... just like shelton

Well... the entire WWE roster, down to the referees, announcers, and fuckin camera men, sacrificed to the alter of Triple H's greater glory.

J.R. just got the loudest heat I've heard out of a WWE crowd since Nexus. J.Fucking R.. Boo'd out of the fucking building. Along with the entire fucking roster.

Way to bury your product, guys. Really good shit.

It was. But Kerry wasn't winning the belt, so the angle gave WCCW a way to let their babyface hero still look strong, the heel champ leaves with the belt but still has some unfinished business, and it set up a classic feud. They "wrecked" a major world title match, to an extent, but in doing so, they accomplished multiple things. That's some solid booking.

I have no clue where they're going with this. It just seemed so stupid.
Why the fans cheer for HHH is beyond me. I like how Cena or Kelly Kelly weren't out there. God forbid the E's two biggest faces walk out on HHH.

[EmpireWF]

Word dave, I have absolutely no idea what the point of this crap is.

It makes the entire roster look like shit when guys like Cena, Punk and Orton couldn't be bothered to be part of it. And what the hell? Who gives a shit who's booking matches?

The focus being on the GM/Commissioner type character is so old. Why can't the spotlight be put on the guys/belts for a change?

[dave]

I have never been a HHH fan. Always found him boring, predictable, etc...
I really am curious where his career would have gone without the Stephanie connection. I'm not saying he's not a main eventer, he is, but I find his in-ring style incredibly boring and my assumption is 50% of his success is Stephanie-related (I'll give him the other 50% because he's a hard worker and consistent).
And he can't kid himself, Shawn Michaels is DX, HHH is 30, maybe 20% DX. The New Age Outlaws might take some of HHH's cut here.

[Warner2BruceTD]

The authority figure role is beyond played out. It's almost impossible to not make them the focus.

[EmpireWF]

Forget HHH for a moment...what's the point of all this? It can't be a way to just get heat on Laurinitis and eventually get him into a heel GM role. Way too predictable and waaaaaaaaaay too played out.

Doubt Vince is coming back as a full-time character, so if in the end it's just so HHH can continue fighting for power....give me a fucking break.

We're suppose to believe that the entire locker room (minus Punk, Cena, Orton), all the refs, camera crew, ringside crew and announcers are scared shitless because THE MIZ and RON KILLINGS interfered in a match?

GIMME SOME LOGIC, PLEASE!

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

there is no fucking point to this.angle. Its all masturbation for HHH. Its an awful angle.
