Last week the show had 3 key elements to be the greatest show ever.
1. Jamie Noble 2. Kane 3. Larry the Cable Guy.
Kane told Larry he was a big fan. Years ago Noble told Kane off and let him know that he couldn't borrow his Larry the Cable Guy tapes. I demand follow up!

LOL! You're not letting this one go, are you, Naitch? This was the moment when it all began. You could cut the tension with a knife.

Man, I actually had to go look up when Survivor Series occurred to find out how many weeks The Authority were banished for. Five weeks. Five entire weeks without a Heel Authority Figure. Stupid company. Maybe Sting came back to stop WWE turning into WCW (or TNA).

Seriously it's so stupid. What I loved is how they were already waiting backstage with champagne. Who let them in? Didn't anyone tell Vince they were there and not at their desks in Connecticut?

Last night's lumberjack match made me laugh. Wade Barrett suddenly realised he was out of position for Cena's dive and fucking sprinted around the ring so he could be part of the splattering. Duh.
Rollins is definitely the guy they should be building around (Roman sucks and I don't even know what they are trying to do with Ambrose any more). He came across really well in the contract signing. Dunno why HHH can't just be a manager, but hey ho, here we are.
Paige jobbing to the Diva finish makes me roll my eyes. I guess she's in the post-debut "job every day for 3 months" spell they seem to put everyone through.

Cesaro actually winning a match on RAW this week made me jump out of my chair in delight. His constant jobbing for the past so many months has really bugged me.
Did anyone see the interview Stone Cold did with Triple H. Triple H said something along the lines of "If I was pushed in 1996 I would have failed. I needed that extra couple of years to gain experience before succeeding." He said Stone Cold was ready at that time to rise to the main event and that Stone Cold was ultimately the correct horse to back. I can see people pointing to that conversation if Reigns falls on his face leading up to WrestleMania. I feel bad for Reigns. I don't think anybody actually dislikes him, he's just the figure that people are directing their discontent at. Things are going to get much worse if it is known that Lesnar is leaving after WrestleMania before the event takes place. If it's Reigns vs Lesnar, everyone will know Reigns is going to win and will likely boo him even more just like they did at the Rumble. The main event of WrestleMania could be a disaster. Come to think of it, they might have to force Bryan into the main event match again. Another triple threat could be where things are headed again.
Triple H also said that he would get rid of the third hour of RAW if he had his way. I would really like that.

I loved that podcast. It was better than the Vince one. Vince was all cryptic and shit. At least Triple H flat out said, this shit ain't easy and we are doing our best to make everyone happy. Then he gave a bunch of examples on how and why.
My opinion over triple H literally did a 180 over the last 5 years or so. I used to think he was this arrogant asshole who buried talent. But you see him as the COO and it seems like he's actually a really humble cool guy and always did his best. The thing that really solidified that was when I saw his most recent beyond the ring dvd.
I REALLY hope they go back to 2 hrs too. I can't sit through these fucking 3 hrs anymore. It's making me nuts. I can't even take in the full show anymore.

Anybody else just not giving a damn about Sting vs Triple H? Good Guy Sting versus the evil authority figure has been done so many times, and often done badly.
Rusev and Cena could be good, as long as Rusev wins. Even better if he makes him tap out.
What is it with WWE and heel/face turns the last little while? People just show up some weeks and they are suddenly a good guy or a bad guy. Fandango on SmackDown this week, and I don't think Paige ever actually turned face in any obvious way. It just seems really lazy, like if they are too lazy to provide a reason for us to get behind someone, why should we bother doing so?
Ambrose and Barrett is promising though, I think those guys feuding should be entertaining.

I used to think he was this arrogant asshole who buried talent. But you see him as the COO and it seems like he's actually a really humble cool guy and always did his best. I still think he's an arrogant asshole (albeit maybe not as much as 15 years ago), but he's focusing his energy in a different direction now. There's nothing else he can achieve in the ring, so now he's trying to prove he's the got the talent behind the curtain, and things like getting Bruno Sammartino into the Hall of Fame and everyone raving about NXT is part of the new mystique he's building. I don't think it's a coincidence that we're all seeing him in a different light these days. It's just a different way to work a crowd. I give a damn. However, they need to get cracking with the build-up to it if it's happening at Wrestlemania. I'm also slightly concerned that it's going to be a 20-minute affair rather than HHH being a smug prick and getting beat in 3 minutes. Is Paige a face now? I know she wrestled Fox on Smackdown (who I think is a Face?) and is feuding with the Bellas, who are heels. They're kinda positioning her as a lone wolf tweener (without advertising it in neon lights) which is a pretty great position to be in for her. Makes me wonder if the two outcasts will put aside their differences to vanquish the mean girls at Wrestlemania: Paige & AJ vs The Bellas.

God, you just have to laugh at Triple H mentioning WCW, only for them to bring on the parade of clearly fake Stings 45 seconds later.
It really is incredible just how long ago WCW is now, and they could fashion a really awesome story out of Sting being the last man standing from that era (regardless of the fact that Big Show was part of that era too). This probably isn't going to be it, but it will be hard to fuck it up completely. Even something goofy like Triple H beating Fake Sting at Fastlane, and doing an over-the-top celebration with all his goons, only for the lights to go out, the Real Sting to appear in the ring and kill everyone with a baseball bat would be fine.

This show pisses me off. I feel like they show so much promise around mania and after but you can just smell the recycled shit storm from a mile away. I don't trust this product right Now. That's the problem. We need a new face, not a new guy to be champion. We need a new mt Rushmore kind of guy like Austin/hogan/cena

There does usually seem to be a drop off in quality after WrestleMania so things might pick up. There just isn't a spark to the show at the minute, and there hasn't been for a long time. Everything feels too manufactured for me and the lack of uncertainty and spontaneity is really putting me off. I know we can't get huge swerves every week but every show starting with a promo (usually The Authority or Cena) and ending with a main event we've seen a million times before end in a DQ is frustrating.
As a whole WWE isn't great, but there is usually at least a couple of good things happening. Heel Sheamus is good, and I love his new entrance. I was also thinking during RAW that I enjoy New Day now that they have embraced being heels.

Are you kidding me, WWE has been fantastic since they stopped pushing the Ascension.
That is really just my commentary on how much I hate the Ascension.
