By the way, that thign Truth did of talking behind him has he done it before? Seems they are going to push his gimmick too far

He did it the first time he did a promo with his crazy gimmick but it wasn't as exaggerated.

As time goes by, Truth is going from legit scary crazy guy to just a comic relief unfortunately.

He's still doing better and has more actual mic time than his face run which I guess is a good thing.

Because that wouldn't have set up the ending with Cena and Punk...

EDIT: Plus, what would Cena have been rematching? No one was champion.

All you need to be fighting for is a shot at the championship .. which Cena would have been part of if he was added to the mix. I mean, do we all really know what the terms of the "rematch clause" is??

I just didn't understand the booking where they whored out the WWE title again. Cena would have won it any way without making Rey look like the transitional champion as they did with Christian. It was unnecessary in my opinion. Losing clean to Rey also hurt the Miz. With Cena winning, you still could have debuted Punk.

Here's a few more ..

"Say something nice and I'll make you scream twice!"

"All my hoochies say: 'there's nothing finer than Scott Steiner!'"

"All I care about is my peaks, and my freaks, nation-wide!"

"DDP, you need to get a sex-change so you can get the balls to come out here and fight me!"

"I'm one of the most decorated tag teams ever!"

"You know, I stand here in Las Vegas, Nevada...In the town that never sleeps. But I've been going for 30 days and 30 nights with a freak on my left, a freak on my right, and one in a box. So being in Las Vegas is a night off for me. So I'm just here to tell ya, Big Poppa Pump is in town and he's ready to pound."
 
If you think about it, Repo Man has really had one hell of a career. Winning the NWA 6 man title with the Koloffs, forming one half (or 1/3) of Demolition, the most dominant tag team in WWE history, stealing the Million Dollar Championship for Ted DiBiase, having that legendary King of the Road match with Dustin Rhodes as the Blacktop Bully. What an overlooked legend Repo Man truly is.

If Repo Man won the WWE Championship and they made a custom belt for him, what do you think it would look like?

Who do you think had the better solo career after splitting from their legendary tag team: Scott Steiner or Repo Man?

Admittedly I didn't watch Evolve, but I really doubt Money in the Bank is sub par in comparison. It was one of the best shows in a long while.

My view is slanted because I was there live, and because this particular fed caters to what I like about wrestling.

Evolve is limited from a mic point because it is generally very structured. Most of the time we hear people talking, it's because after every match, the winner is interviewed by some official guy. Most of their promos are fairly generic "I'm the best and will be here for a long time!". The fed is beltless, I think, and the competitors fight for high records. Other than the Bourne-style mic-masters, there were two promos which stood out. One was Kevin Steen, whom I'd only seen before from the ROH iPPV (I was not there). He did a fantastic job, if one that was heavily laden with f-bombs. The other one was (I think) Larry Dallas, a fellow playing a rich dude who bought talent to beat the team he didn't like. Mic skills there about what you'd expect from that description, though his short involvement in the main event later on was amusing.

The actual wrestling, however, was consistently steps above what I've seen this year from elsewhere, including this month's ROH iPPV (I still haven't seen the last hour of it, though). None of the matches were bad. The only slow matches were the first one, which seemed to exist mainly as an excuse to get Steen out, and the Finlay match, which was paced differently than most of the matches on the card. It was still quite good, though.

MitB was held down by a women's match and a slow fat men match. The other matches were generally very good, so it's easy to ignore the moments of total shit, which they thankfully kept short. I liked the three injuries which did a really good job of existing in that twilight realm between reality and kayfabe. I was concerned a bit at Punk seeming a bit botchy early on in his match, but the latter half of it was fantastic (I disagree with those who've suggested that the match is perfect, though).

For Evolve, I came in a little late for the first match and only saw a minute or two before the Steen interruption. The second match with the Super Smash Bros was amazing. Nese's match ended up being surprisingly top notch, as was the 3-way with Steen (except that, as with the Finlay match, a lot of the action happened outside the ring opposite my seat, where I couldn't see). Everything else was at the very least very good.

It's basically just the difference between a show where all the matches are great versus a show where all the matches are great except the terrible ones. MitB was fantastic when it was good, though, and overall the show was great. Had I been there live, I may have thought it no less than Evolve 9 in quality, and had I watching the Evolve iPPV instead of being there live, it would have certainly been less of an experience, especially since there was apparently little to no audio for the first few matches (including Steen's wonderful showing).

There's one sad thing that I just realized: In this past month, we got to see pretty much the best that WWE, TNA, and ROH (and Evolve, imo) have to offer. All their PPVs were pretty much at the top of their game. This is very statistically unlikely, and I fear that it may never happen again. We somehow just went over the hump of quality, and it can only go downhill from here. D:
 
Repo also threw out two guys in the 1992 Royal Rumble. Two!

My favorite and most-watched match. That was so awesome to me as a kid, Flair coming in and beating the entire roster including Hogan. I like putting the match on when I'm dead tired and seeing how many entrants I can make it through before I nod off.

Alright, a fellow Repo Man fan!

The 92 Rumble is my favorite too. "With a TEAR in my EYE!"

Jesus CHRIST that is incredible. Holy fuck. "And one in a box" WOW!
 
The Buff Bagwell/La Parka thing was one of Vince Russo's worked shoot frenzys. Alex Wright was being re-introduced as Berlyn at Fall Brawl 1999 and was going to work with Buff Bagwell. The rumor was Bagwell refused to put him over and didn't even show up for the PPV. So of course, Russo used this in an angle.

"OH MY!!! Did you see that!"

The SNME shows with Vince and Jesse were great.

Jesse has been my favorite color commentator for as long as I have watched wrestling. Great chemistry, no matter if it's Vince or Gorilla Monsoon.
 
I want to see the Face side of the straight edge gimmick played up. I just want a face with clearly defined principles.

I'm sick of the heel version of the straight edge lifestyle.
