JBL is funny. He is just totally obnoxious but I find him entertaining. Same reason I like Booker. Neither are that good but they make me laugh. I wish I could say something positive about Cole but I can't. Kevin Kelly would be 1000 times better.

I kinda like Seth borrowing the Pedigree. It sets up the Authority turning on him. But I do miss the Curb Stomp.

I wish they would let him use God's Last Gift but it's pretty dangerous. Paroxysm would make a great finisher but I doubt he could do that to someone much bigger than him. The Pheonix Splash, as we saw at the Rumble, is incredible but it's a pretty "face" finisher and could take some shine off of Neville IMHO. GLG and Paroxysm....

if it's just a temporary thing or used to further a storyline that's fine

to be honest, i don't hate the curb stomp but i do wish seth used something that required more skill since he's more than capable...it makes more sense as a move for someone who's a brawler like ambrose

[BigRedLedbetter]

Agreed. Curb Stomp makes more sense for Ambrose or Reigns. Guys who are not GREAT wrestlers in the ring. Seth is incredibly gifted.

I have a feeling Ambrose wins the title Sunday. Transitional champion. I bet he drops in at the next PPV.

Speaking of finishers just one damn time I wanted to see the Pepsi Plunge in WWE!! I guess the original finish of the Punk/Bryan no DQ match at Money in the Bank in 2012 was going to be Punk doing this through a table on Bryan.

to who do you think?

i really like ambrose, i just don't see him as world championship material...i think seth's title run has just been bogged down by the bad storylines

[BigRedLedbetter]

Probably Reigns. Maybe Brock? I have a hard time believing when Brock comes back he is going to be a face. As over as Ambrose is if he wins the title and Brock comes out and attacks him that gives Brock some heat. Of course there are lots of rumors Reigns wins the briefcase, cashes in and aligns with the Authority. Turning Seth face. That is incredible predictable at this point but I could see it.

I like Ambrose a lot but I agree he is not face of the company kind of guy but I could see him getting a brief title run. If only for 1-2 months. He is more over than anyone right now. He is going to be an outstanding heel when they turn him. Think Jake Roberts meets Piper.

Just found this haha. That interview was great.

agreed...since i've missed most of brock's run, has he been an effective face before? i haven't really heard him on the mic either since heyman has been his voice

piper was so freaking good at both...i still can't believe he never held the title

[BigRedLedbetter]

Brock was a face for a little bit late 2002 and early 2003. It was not very good. I mean people love the guy but they lack monster heels and he just fits that criteria so well. Brock is not very good on the mic. All the more reason to keep him heel/with Heyman.

maybe i'm just used to the 273 man late 90's wcw roster..but i feel like they're lacking in monster heels and faces...and midcarders...and luchadores...and stables

The roster is way better than it was at this time three years ago top to bottom. But I see what you are saying. As much as I love Punk it's a bummer he won't have proper feuds with Rollins, Ambrose, Owens, Zayn, etc. There were some awful PPVs this time three years ago. These two carried the roster for a long time....

[lennytheweedwhacker]

you think he's done?

i hate i missed him, love what i've seen from the few youtube videos i've seen

[numbers]

That Hard Times promo is probably the greatest promo of all time.

He'll be back. They all come back eventually.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

mean gene should come back

[Simple Torture]

mean gene should come back

He didn't look great on Legends House.

i'm sure he's 97 but i love him like my own flesh and blood

[Simple Torture]

I was thinking recently about which future celebrity death would make me the most upset, and without a doubt it's going to be MGO.

Predictions for tonight:

Ryback/Show: Ryback
Paige/Nikki: Paige
New Day/PTP: New Day
Owens/Cena: Owens(because it makes so much more sense for KO to win, though it'd be surprising to see Cena lose twice)
Ambrose/Rollins: Rollins
MITB: Reigns(though it seems almost too obvious, maybe Brock gets into this match somehow and wins?)

owens/cena isn't for the us title, right?

[numbers]

It's non-title.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

if owens wins do you think it'll be non-clean?
