So Orton is going win this 100 percent, right?

 

Nothing is ever 100%. But 99%, yes.

Even ignoring the supposedly planned storylines for Wrestlemania, there's the fact that he's losing so often in the leadup. You'd be completely burying him to have him lose a bunch and then lose the title too. He's being set up as a chicken heel who scrapes away with the belt.

 

The entire pretense for Batista being in this spot is absurd. Abruptly left WWE as a humiliated heel. Looked like absolute garbage in his lone MMA match. Has a role in a movie as part of a huge ensemble cast. LET'S GIVE HIM THE ROCK TREATMENT!

 

Cesaro never looks that big to me, but then he stands pretty well side-by-side guys that I know are huge.

 

Chamber tangent: The Masked Man's Grantland column had a brilliant idea ... a real heel move would be for a chamber participant to bring a magazine to the pod to pass the time.

 

The pod glass is bulletproof but not goatproof.

 

So, yeah, Orton is going to win.

 

Gay.

 

Good: Almost everything was extremely well-executed and fun

Bad: It was mind-numbingly predictable

 

They still don't get it.

 

I'd have settled for a Sheamus victory, anything to avoid Batista/Orton. Yawn.

Shield/Wyatts was hands down the show stealer. That could have been on the 'Mania card. Definitely lived up to the hype.

 

Agreed. The Chamber match was very enjoyable. Love the spot when Orton locked himself back up in the pod and started taunting the crowd and Sheamus. Then Sheamus turns his back then does the brogue kick through the pod. Orton's facials in that were great, from being arrogant, to showing a questioning look, to fear.
