Why this wasn't on a Raw with more time will forever boggle my mind. Actual wrestling moves, people that know how to run the ropes, no having to do Kelly Kelly's moves for her..
What's the best women's match the WWE has ever had? Something involving Trish or Lita I guess? Cause Kharma and Beth are far better wrestlers than either of them so I'd love to see what they could do together. Assuming they were given enough time anyway.
Definitely one of several Trish/Lita matches in the early 2000s. Although Stephanie McMahon, of all people, was carried to some surprisingly watchable matches (by Lita) just prior to that.
[Shamus]'s the most over face right now, meaning he goes up against Bryan I'd guess. Which makes me suspect it'll be Orton vs. CM Punk at WM, assuming both retain in the next two months. (I don't think they'll leave both Cena and Orton out of titleland fo WM, Orton had one of the biggest pops yesterday too).
Wait... if Shamus as a face defaults to Bryan, why does Orton -- also a face -- default to Punk? The main reason Orton got crazy pops last night was because they were in St. Louis, his hometown.
Punk/Jericho is the way I think they're going (up until Shamus won the Rumble over Jericho, anyway).

If we're including pre-name change then it's easily the Glamour Girls vs Jumping Bomb Angels two out of three falls match from the '88 Rumble. I seriously cannot think of a better match to have occurred outside of AJW, it was that good.
For post name change only then my only suggestion would be Trish vs Mickie from Wrestlemania 22. A match so good it tricked me into thinking Mickie James was awesome.
[edit] Double posts are bad, so here is something better. It must be better because it involves Bull Nakano:

That match was STUPIDLY ahead of its time.

So I guess that suggests that maybe Orton wins the belt at EC and faces Sheamus, same with Jericho. (Because they put Punk in an EC match, so he can lose without losing probably.)
And you know what is retarded? Putting punk in the EC MATCH! The EC match should be for a shot at the title at Wrestlemania. Makes 100x more sense.
The problem is the more that the WWE goes kayfabe, the more the mainstream media focuses on "exposing" wrestling as fake. If you remember during the height of the recent golden era, and the last time they were super kayfabe, there was practically a news special every month on how wrestling was "exposed", because the general public hates secretive organizations.
They will never go 100% kayfabe again, but they could have excluded the bump tweet from that article.
So they could just put a disclaimer about how wrestling isn't real right on their website, and continue with pretending that it's real elsewhere.

And they run face vs. face for no apparent reason? While completely dropping the Orton/Barrett feud after five seconds of Rumble action and, presumably, whatever they get out of a six man EC. I'm not seeing it.

Thanks, I just watched both matches and they were really good. I guess we've got Trish to blame for the current state of that division, as it seemed to make WWE management think they could make any model into a decent wrestler.

Think you've been doing an awesome job Badman!
And for all you folks out there looking to challenge me for this belt... *holds up his shiny championship* I've held onto it since August. I've faced all challengers and come out of each encounter with my championship. I've fought bloggers and posters and come Elimination Chamber I face my most difficult challenge yet but I am up to the task. So the question to you D&D players, are you?
Long ago, at Money in the Bank, I split the player base by asking which forum everyone associated with more. On the Season Standings, all SE++ are red names, and D&D are blue. Black are people who joined after the brand extension, and purple is me.
They are. His shouting "Yes!" cracks me up every time. Also funny? The slow smile on his face when he realized he had just beat CM Punk with the DQ. Couldn't stop laughing.
well, but for a while they were kind of soft playing it. I just thought when they had him come out with the whole "I'ma vegan!" shtick he kind of talked himself into a corner.
They really want to push him all the way heel before the next ppv, it just kind of made me chuckle
it was the smallest on the list but

I thought it funny that punk was saying he wasn't a role model. When pretty much D-Bry is doing the straight edge gimmick of Punk's but with meat instead of drugs.
If Russo was involved we'd have a match of Punk Vs Bryan where the only way to win is to shoot punk up with heroin or make D-Bry eat a veal burger.
I hate that type of no sell for some reason and I really don't know why. Every time I see Brodus do it he loses the good will that his entrance buys him.

It's pretty much typical WWE booking. Not really his fault.
I don't really mind it as long as he's just smashing jobbers to build his rep. If he's still doing it against guys that are supposed to be actual threats it'll start getting tiresome

On the plus side at least it's not as bad as the Tatanka no sell.
Everyone is different. Everyone is special.

yeah as an entertainment thing in this phase I don't mind it. as a real element in a bigger match I don't want to see it ever. I didn't even like that as a kid. what's the point.

Electrified burger. Once Bryan takes a bite, they flick the lights on and off and Russo makes electrical sounds into a microphone.

I totally got screwed on picks this PPV.
I will need to redeem myself at Wrestlemania and try to carry on into season 3 (There...there will be a season 3 yes?).
Also with all the recent injuries it will be interesting to see who they give more TV time to here. Hopefully they put Santino into the IC race and bring Cody up to the Main event. Maybe not ready to carry the belt but him and Ziggler have definately stepped up their game this year.
Earlier in the thread we had a discussion about how much better the women's/divas' division used to be. Here's a great (if not the greatest) Trish/Lita match that main evented RAW in December 2004.
It amazes me that IIRC she almost never seriously hurt herself in the ring (or, in this case, diving out of it) despite all of the ranas and stuff that she did, but she guest starts on ONE episode of a TV series (Dark Angel?) and breaks her neck doing the exact same sort of stunt.

Officials from WWE told Bright House Sports network today, which airs the FCW shows in Florida, that they are closing down the promotion and will not be doing anymore television after the final three shows taped last week air.
WWE officials told Bright House Sports that they are folding the promotion, closing the gym, and moving everyone to Stamford, CT for the time being until they figure out what they are going to do with developmental.
Those in WWE also heard news today and were given the impression the company was going to do developmental out of Conneticut and possibly open a second developmental territory.
