      Still can't believe some folks are not happy with last night........didn't they just get what they wanted, just months later? It's going to be a great WM moment when it happens.

        I must say this is the most excited I've been for a WM in a number of years. Sure, Cena/Rock was big and the second Taker/HBK match was big...but this is something completely different.

          Paige might have the best theme in the WWE right now.

            Here's my third-rate attempt to be as cool as mookieghana looking at the correlation between Dave's star ratings and buys.

            You can look at this a few different ways:
            • Are shows that receive a high number of buys better shows than those that receive a low amount of buys?
            • How often do shows do well on PPV and actually turn out really good?
            • How often do shows that do poorly on PPV end up being horrible?

                  There are some weird rules to become a full SAG member...I am going to assume if this is there first commercial...then no.

                        Finally watched this week's Raw.

                        -Seth Rollins is the best wrestler in the WWE today. Zayn will probably knock him off, and we all know what Bryan can do when they stop paying attention to him. But right now, there is nobody I'd rather watch wrestle than Rollins.

                        -The Shield needs to break up, but man I can't help but think they should hold off. They're still hot and the break-up tease is well done. Once they break up, there's no safety net for Ambrose's quirkiness, Rollins' average mic skills, or Reigns' everything. There's a good chance that these guys all succeed to noteworthy spots, but there's also great risks that they flounder. I would hate to see Reigns become Ryback, Rollins become Kofi, etc.

                        -Bray Wyatt is so solid until the match starts, then he takes WWE back to mid-90's WCW level main event garbage. There's no way he lasts.

                        - I was so positive that Warner was wrong about Summerslam. I still think it and the next few months were total shit, but them holding off on giving him the big big push was the right move. They went about it the wrong way though. They got it right in the end, which is all that matters.

                        -There's a stigma about guys being too small still, but there needs to be a stigma about the big guys. Batista is the biggest flop in some time, while Brodie continues to be the only worthwhile big on the roster.

                            I think The Shield should stay together forever, but have moments of tension where they don't get along, just like actual real people do. You could push them as singles while still being aligned, if they see money in one or all of them (clearly they see money in Reigns). It would be a little outside the box, but this is the same company that just tossed PPV in the trash can, so why not?

                              They just compliment each other so well. You only break them up for shock value and a short feud, which is what they do with EVERY team ever anyway. Why not just keep them together? Like the Horsemen were for a while, loosely associated. Do their own thing, tag together a few times, occasionally come out as a group and cut a promo or interfere with another's match. Why not? It's clearly working as an alliance. No point in taking all the legs away from the table for no reason. They love Reigns as a hoss, but his work is average at best and he never really says much. There's no point to flush his potential just to follow an already overdone story arc....
