Thinking about it now, the format of MITB when it became a PPV has been a balance between veteran/established name winning one, guy getting over big time for a push, winning the other. If it was two of the same group, might've been overkill. 2010: Kane the vet wins one; Miz the rising superstar won the other. Last year: Del Rio the already established name, but not getting the world title to prove it, won one; Daniel Bryan the superstar that wasn't even on the rise before that win, won the other. So this year: Cena the established name wins one (on paper alone, it's ridiculous), and so the SD winner will be a rising guy. Speaking of which, there's supposedly going to be 3 or 4 more names added. So, the total would be 8 or 9. Rhodes, Barrett (in a more mysterious manner), and Ziggler. That works. If going by 9, Sin Cara. If they went to 6 names for the RAW MITB, they could easily add Rey Mysterio and Miz. Speaking of Miz, sporting a new look for his movie role in The Marine 3. |

About the MITB qualifying matches, Why was Tyson Kidd involved and he actually won? Same with Sandow. Is the WWE that desperate for a champion. Wasn't Santino in the match against Sandow? Why? I would think they should have a "story" to be named as a contender, but from out of nowhere? The "Cinderella" story is great for NCAA, not for pro-fucking-sports.
I like this new Big Show character, but I think this is the character he should have started 20 years ago. Vince wasted Show's career. I think Show should have dominated since his introduction. I just think he should not go around with his "sneak-attacks." He is"over 7'" how can he hide so easily? I hated Bryan's "yes-chants," but AJ kind of stole the phrase and it sounds better.

Either he's in the "Evan Bourne: spot monkey that will do flippy stuff off the ladder" role or he's in the "Kofi Kingston: gets taken out before the match starts by a bigger name" role. Hopefully it's the former. And what makes me laugh about the current Cena/Big Show angle: Cena's saying how he has to keep Show from winning the title because he's so unstoppable & he'd never lose the title ... yet like 3 months ago he couldn't even hold the IC belt for more than a month. This angle would make a lot more sense if they hadn't nonsensically given him an IC run in the spring. For giggles I tried to come up with a top 10, and had to use guys/girls that are either 'managers' or Superstars/NXT-exclusive at this point. In order: 1. Ziggler - future 'face' of the company, IMHO 2. Bryan - good on the mic, great in the ring 3. AJ - consistently good at her character 4. Vickie G. - consistently great at her character 5. Hunico - always puts on good matches ... he should be under the mask & Sin Cara should be back in CMLL 6. Tyson Kidd - same as Hunico: a guaranteed good match 7. Kaitlyn - consistently good at her character, but hasn't had the chance to do it on the big stage, a la her Chickbuster friend AJ 8. Punk - smilin' babyface Punk bores the piss out of me or he'd be higher on the list 9. McIntyre - drastically underused ... what happened to him being Vince's 'chosen one'? 10. Cesaro - hopefully in for a bigger push in the coming weeks/months HM: Bray Wyatt, who I'm super-high on after seeing him in FCW. On the flip side, I could easily make a top 10 list of guys that I hope to never watch again - the hardest part would be picking the 10 that I'd want to put on the list. |

My favorite WWE stars are Cena, Punk, Clay, and Jericho.The rest I could pretty much care less one way or another.
Watch for Miz to return as a face to push his movie when it comes out and he returns to WWE. |

Right now, my fave five would be Punk, Clay, Cena, Marella, and Ziggler.
I didn't like Ziggler for a long time, but his act has grown on me. I think he should stay with Vicky G., as the heat she gets just adds to his. I think Santino makes a great face..and the fact he actually has ability makes me watch him to see if they are ever gonna utilize it. |

AS for that "Show_Cena" angle maybe it was their plan to put him in this "unstoppable" role , if one thinks the WWE plans stories in advance. The WWE usually finds a way to injure Show, so I do not see this better role for him. As for my favorites, I am unsure as they keep changing brands, stories, and I would have never guessed Kane would be involved in an orgy with little AJ. I would have said Jericho, but he did something a rookie would do, not a veteran-wrestler. Besides, who knew there were enough Divas to have a battle royal? Do they just hire women that are paying to see the show?

My Top 10 that I still give a rat's ass about?
In no specific order: CM Punk - Total package Kane - Slow in the ring, but the character is still interesting and he pulls out a nice move every once in awhile. Kofi Kingston - He really flies around the ring. Rey Mysterio - Can't wait to see him back in the ring. Christian - Still good in the ring. Seems to be using more variety in his finishers as of late. Randy Orton - Great character. Still needs to expand his list of moves. Sheamus - I like the character. He has added a couple new moves in the last few months. Sin Cara - I'm still hoping he returns to his former speed. AJ - She has done really well as the "crazy chick". I figured she would be gone a long time ago when they got tired of using her as an easy squash for Beth Phoenix. Natalya - She used to do some really good moves in the ring. They seem to have had her dumb it down for the Kelly Kelly's and Layla El's of the diva division. I'd really love to see them let her return to her former self. Teaming her up with Beth Phoenix was a big mistake. They should have stayed rivals.

So there's a favorites list going on? I have a more copious amount.
Fave Five: Christian, Bryan, Punk, Rhodes, Ziggler. Aside from booking that can be annoying, I don't have problems with Cena. Hunico, McIntyre, Jericho, Kane, Tyson Kidd (growing of course thanks to regularly watching NXT, otherwise his SD win this week would've not held much water with me), Barrett when he returns, Reks and Hawkins, AJ, Vickie, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, Sheamus. I still value Orton and Del Rio's in ring abilities, I hope Miz upon returning works hard and gets pushed as a result (him and Punk is a feud I'd like to see, both men being pushed to dig deep down inside in promo work). I know full well of what Kassius Ohno, Seth Rollins, and Antonio Cesaro will bring to the table, so they are future Fave Fivers. Bray Wyatt's really getting my eye. The first two episodes of the new NXT season aired videos hyping his debut. He gives a Cape Fear like vibe: Max Cady, played by Robert De Niro. Also sporting something of a self-serving preacher. I think it's unique, interesting, and coupled with his in ring ability, a potential total package. Dean Ambrose is another future Fave Fiver. If those NXT/FCW guys (Richie Steamboat included), and other guys fill up the roster depth of WWE, in 12 months time, Cena would be fit to take a step back, and CM Punk will rule. Generally in wrestling I like wrestlers more than having indifference to them, and/or disliking them. |

It's a shame that Tyosn Kidd never got a real push. I'm thinking burtog is correct with the Tyson is there for the 'mad spot' at mitb.

Reason: Tired
Miz is going to return as a marine. It would be funny if he did. He really needs a change. If he comes back acting the same and saying the same shit, I will we disappointed at another opportunity wasted. I can't put together a favourite list at the minute. That's what I like about you Seven Churches, the eternal optimist. You do make the roster or future roster sound good. I haven't seen a lot of the nxt/fcw guys yet. |
