The Mega Powers split on this day in 1989. Fuck I'm old.

So Bray Wyatt was talking about the Undertaker last night right?

if so then they really missed the boat by letting Brock beat the streak, if Bray beats Taker at Wrestlemania it wont have anywhere near the impact on his career since it will have just been done already last year. as much as it would be cool to see Bray and Taker have a match, i really hope Taker just retires. they should have had him lose to someone that really needed it though instead of Brock, he didnt need that win to be the monster he is now, he has been the same since he came back.

Taker will beat Bray and that should catapult Bray into the main event scene. He will come out of it looking strong. Taker is great at cultivating young talent. I fully expect him to win the title sometime in 2015.

They need to add a woman to the Wyatt family.

i've caught bits and pieces of raw over the last few months, and i know it's not been anywhere near enough of an experience to draw a conclusion....but is john cena really that boring of a superstar? i've heard his name for years (knowing absolutely nothing about the current product), but i can't for the life of me understand his appeal

I don't even dislike Cena. He is just THAT boring. When the lights are on he can deliver a great match (HBK, Angle, Jericho, Umaga, Rey, Punk, Bryan etc) but his character is so boring and he has not evolved whatsoever. Fantastic worker though when he wants to be.

yeah i haven't seen enough of his matches (saw most of the rumble match - very good stuff, but came off way more impressed with rollins)

part of it seems to be the storylines revolving him are just uninteresting...and it's not that he's that bad on the mic from a delivery standpoint, i just never care about what he has to say

Rollins is incredible in the ring. Really hope he feuds with Bryan and Dolph after he wins the title.

Cena has not had a good storyline really since the Nexus angle. Which he buried.

dolph seems like he has potential, but i haven't seen enough of him to know

i feel like the heels (especially wyatt and rollins) are all way more interesting than the faces...cena, ryback, reigns all bore the sh*t out of me...i like ambrose, but he's a bit too over the top at times...i like what i've seen from sandow, and he's basically a face teamed with a heel at this point which is an interesting dynamic...they should push him more

i don't really know what i'm talking about but thanks for listening

Dolph is an incredible worker and seller in my humble opinion. His injury after he cashed in after WM29 really derailed him. He is actually really funny as well if they would give him more mic time. The two guys I wanna see champ most next are Dolph and Wyatt.

Ambrose is hilarious but agreed I'm not sure what his character will look like long term in the WWE with training wheels on.

Ryback has a likable quality. I can not put my finger on it. He is still pretty damn over but still is green as fuck though. For all the shit Reigns gets he is nowhere as green as Ryback who is very careless with guys in the ring.

I really enjoy Sandow as well. Welcome anytime, Lenny.

on ambrose, it's just his mannerisms and facial expressions that are over the top...i enjoy him on the mic...i haven't paid enough attention to his in-ring work to know how good he is

He is just alright in the ring. Good enough. Yes great on the mic. You can tell he grew up loving guys like Jake Roberts, Piper, etc.

Cena will always be that lame white rapper to me. How that guy got big, I'll never understand.

He's got the look and kisses ass like a champ. But agreed. It really helped Cena that Brock left as far as getting pushed to the moon.

The Kids love him. Really, is he any lamer than Hulk Hogan?

About the same amount of lameness. I was always a Savage guy growing up so I didn't like Hogan.

He's a lot lamer than Hogan. Hogan had a great look, was awesome on the mic, and had all kinds of fun schtick in the ring, even if he couldn't wrestle.

Despite not watching a lot of wrestling for years, I somehow caught Cena's earliest fights, before he had a gimmick. I thought for sure he was destined to be a Norman Smiley type jobber who would get destroyed every week. He got crushed in that match.

Imagine my surprise when I found out later he was the champ.
