2011 Pro Wrestling Thread

Excellent, excellent, excellent segment right there.

 

Ageed, ucacm. Gave a strong sense of peril for HHH heading into it, and made the Undertaker look like a total badass. People have been complaining about the motivations for HHH and Undertaker heading into this one (even though, personally, two legends going toe to toe is enough for me), so hopefully this eases some of that criticism.

 

Followed by another excellent segment.

 

I think I'm gonna order my first 'Mania since XIV.

 

So, have they already totally dropped the King gimmick?

 

Yes. Which is fine - it works for some people, but it never fit him.

 

Good God is The Rock bringing it tonight. The crowd is just eating him up and it's making for fantastic TV.

 

Jesus, John Cena is making me so angry just watching this, and it's not because he's doing a great job.

 

...aaaand here comes the afterthought.

 

Excellent, excellent show. I didn't see a weak spot in the entire show.

Only thing I might have done differently is maybe milk a Cena/Rock staredown for 30 seconds longer, just for the fantastic visual. but otherwise, outstanding job by everyone.

 

That was tremendous. Cena was spot-on with everything he said, and it almost looked like Rock was speechless when Cena finished. Well-done segment that really showed three mini-generations of WWE stars and three eras. I was sort of surprised, too, that Cena dropped Rock with his finisher. A little stunning that they had Rock eat that one at this point.

 

They held back on the big payoff, the "Five Knuckle Shuffle."

I'll never buy the PPV if Cena/Rock square off. I don't want to pay money to watch the Fruity Pebble go over on the Great One.
