When they showed Orton in front of the bus, I SWORE they were going to have Punk ram it with a forklift or something. After HHH and Stephanie's bus fiasco got taken care of last week, ( http://www.pwinsider.com/article/56135/lawsuit-that-saw-triple-h-and-stephanie-caught-in-the-middle-settled.html?p=10 ), I thought they were going to send a big fuck you to the bus company and trash it just for the spite of it. Oh, well, I'll take the foggy blown kiss by Punk to Randall's wife any day.
Matt Hardy's got nothing to be pissed about as he stole it from Brew to being with. I'm pretty sure one of the ITVR's have that original chat saved somewhere. And, yes, that is what I immediately thought, too. Don't make BrewGuy angry!!!!
Unlike HulkCena. Who gives a fuck if he gets angry? He'll come put a lame-ass STF on you! Ooooooh, I'm hurt.

That's Cole's number one problem. You would think someone backstage would have got on him about it by now. The man gets to the last sentence in his script and just repeats it over and over again because he doesn't have a clue what to say on his own.
Waaaaaay too late on the Miz belt. Did it actually take the writers this long to come up with that idea? And with Miz revealing his new belt, doesn't it basically tell the viewers that Miz is winning at Wrestlemania?
I bet it sure deflated the Pittsburgh crowd when it was announced no Rock till next week and Cena via satellite. I was seriously thinking of going to the show, but now I'm really glad I didn't.
"Mrs. Orton" looked more like she was trying not to have an orgasm as she gazed at Punk through the bus door rather than being in fear of him. I seriously thought she was going to step out of the bus and start making out with Punk.

I wonder if this finally leads to a new belt design. Miz pretty much slammed the current one for "spinning like a toy."
Thank goodness someone finally got hit to build Taker/Hunter. And it's DiBiase who isn't doing anything anyway. His time of mending will go unnoticed, and he can attack Hunter during the WM match without risking a DQ loss for Taker. Not that I want him to.
I thought Cena's satellite surprise was nicely done. That crowd went nuts when they recognized the background.
Does Lawler have a submission move? I wanna see Cole tap out at WM after spending this month selling his AnCole Lock.

That show was pretty brutal at times. I agreed with Cole during the Diva's title match. Good Jesus that thing was sloppy. Seeing Trish work later in the night certainly helped, but it was also a giant sign pointing at the disparity of talent between the divas.
Cole really does need to learn how to improvise instead of repeating "tap out" for two minutes leading to Lawler not tapping out.
The kid had impeccable timing with the Karate Kid reference. Amazing.
If this last month has shown me anything, it's that Cena is terrible at being serious. That final segment should've ended with him saying "I'm in the building jackass." show some of the teardown, and have him come flying through the curtain, full speed to the ring, no music, better STF. It seems like he doesn't know how to do it but it's right there.

Do you mean besides the obvious? Kofi is from Ghana.

To my eternal shame, I completely forgot that Brew came up with it. To my even more eternal shame, I was reading a thread about it literally no more than two days ago.
So I'm guessing that Alex Riley forgot to say "The Miz's", but as far as I'm concerned, Alex Riley is now a WWE vice-president, and I look forward to line items in the Wrestling Observer stating when he sells his stock options.

If the WWE took Miz's red "I'm Awesome" shirt sticker design and made t-shirts to look like office shirts for employees of MizCo, I think I'd have to buy one.

I was wondering about that as well. I was sure Riley was going to explain that he would be the one in contact with the anonymous GM to communicate his (or her) edicts. This would allow Cole to segue out of doing that bit and on to actually being a heel manager.

REY MYSTERIO VERSUS VIPER RANDY ORTON (ANGLE-FREE THIS TIME)... KANE AND BIG SHOW, TOGETHER FOR NOW, DOMINATE AND CLEAN HOUSE... CM PUNK PULLS UP, HANGS BY SOMEONE ELSE'S RIDE.
I've never seen a 450 splash get zero reaction before. The Corre really is a black hole of charisma.
Re: Cole. I don't understand why people think he's great on the mic. How is not being accepted as a play-by-play man after 13 years in the role evidence of brilliant mic work? The only reason he was turned is because everyone hates him anyway and Vince's ageism won't allow him to put Lawler over any active roster members.
This show sucked. I haven't looked forward less to a WrestleMania since...I'm gonna go with WM 13. As fun and action packed as next week's show ought to be, I don't see how it gets them around this lacklustre card. Oh well, rebuilding year.

I don't think being a bad commentator and being a good heel on the mic are mutually exclusive.

It's been quite some time...I think it had to do with an interview his mom did in the media where she claimed he was from Ghana and not Jamaica. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I think the 450 splash has been oversold, thus a lack of reaction anymore. Besides that, Evan Bourne's finish is much better.
Cena is just disinterested in this current angle. Like I said a few weeks ago, can't blame him either. Cena's doing 90 percent of the work and showing up at Raw each week, while The Rock barely does any work at all.
And why did Cole stay in the box after Lawler was taken out? And sorry Josh Matthews, you just don't cut it as a color man or announcer. Go back to giving interviews.
Speaking of unrealistic, wasn't it John Cena who got Alex Riley fired? Seems Cena's memory of that has already faded.
And again, when they show the pics of those being inducted into the Hall Fame, why is a pic of Shawn Michael so much larger then the others being inducted???
And finally, I think it's really time for Rey Mysterio to go. He's really slowed down a lot and can't work a long match anymore. Injuries and age really seem to have caught up with him.

Can Cena really complain about someone coming back right after they were fired though?
You know what would make the Corre more interesting? If they were called The Nexus. There is ZERO reason for the New Nexus to be using the name, as its been totally co-opted by Punk anyway.
I can only hope this ends with Otunga crawling back to Barret.
-The Lawler Vs Cole match NEEDS to end with a PILEDRIVER. But will they have the balls to do it? I doubt it. But you could get even more heat on Cole having him wear a neck brace for the next year Joel Gertner style.
-I'm also thinking the best way to involve Austin is to have him hit a Stunner on Swagger before the match starts and then just tell King "he's all yours." I don't want to see Jerry's match be all about Austin and this would let Austin get his pop and then move the focus onto Lawler.
-Whoever mentioned Cole bringing Kong in probably nailed it. Notice that Cole has been trashing Diva matches lately. Who's the biggest champion of the Divas? Lawler. Another possibility would be having the Divas help Lawler win by distracting Swagger. Post Wrestlemania Cole brings in Kong to take revenge.
-I still can't get over how many opportunities they are missing with the HHH VS UT match. This should totally be about HHH getting revenge for Michaels and also for himself being one of the victims of the streak. But no history. Just the plotline of Highlander.
Originally posted by El NastioMichael Cole is a beast. Seriously, if there was ever a reason to bring back heel managers Michael Cole is it. And if Cole could ever wrestle, he'd be the top heel int he company (assuming he isn't already). The man is money on the mic, plays to the crowd great. Cannot say enough good things about Michael Cole, and if Lawler hits him with THE PILE DRIVER at Wrestlemania they will need to reinforce the building due to the noise.
I would put good money on the idea that Cole already has a goofy neck brace picked out just like Andy Kaufman or Joel Gertner before him.
Also, like Kaufman, I wouldn't be surprised if he started a feud with the Divas, eventually leading to Awesome Kong doing something (didn't the WWE sign her?)
And I also put good money on the idea that Cole wears that goofy neck brace for either half or twice as long as a neck injury would dictate.
