So say the Rock wins, then what, we have a champion who only shows up at main events?

Or has the Rock been around more, and I just don't catch it?

Yeah pigfarmer, I'm kinda confused myself, Rock with the belt means he'll proabably lose it fast or not at all. I don't like the idea of pre-scheduleing a match months in advance.

Going back to the Cena injury, I'm almost sure WWE fooled all of us. Smackdown is pre-recorded and I know what's going to happen tonight because I read spoilers. Based on what Cena did, he's not injured at all.

WWE writer: Hmm, we got a main event coming up. Lets have CM Punk go against...hmmm, who should it be...Oh! I know! Lets go with Ryback!


Lame.


And seriously, what the hell is this AJ crap. It was all right when I was a kid and people would say 'its a soap opera for boys/men', but now they don't even hide the soap opera BS.

I was more mad about the predictability of those three NXT wrestlers attacking Ryback for third time. Like c'mon 3 power bombs on 3 different nights? I hope the TLC PPV is "clean" meaning no outside help but that probably not going to happen. Ryback deserves to lose fair a square not constanly getting upstaged.

TNA is taking WWE's lead in scandals, Bully Ray (Bubba Dudley) is now involved with Hulk Hogan's daughter on the show. These chessy story lines have to go.

It's wrestling. I would rather have storylines built around people getting "beat up" over and over again rather than the love affair soap opera woman's garbage we've got going on with Cena and AJ. And when the nWo broke out, they were attacking people 8 times a show, every show. All that gimmick/story turned into was one of the most popular angles ever. Not saying these NXT guys are going to that level, but it's a proven method of getting people/storylines over.

The first hour of Monday's show garnered 4,147,000 viewers, with hour two slightly dropping 4,126,000. The third hour, however, suffered its sharpest decline since the program was lengthened to three hours in July, dropping to 3,488,000 viewers. It marked as the fifteenth consecutive week and eighteenth week out of nineteen weeks in which viewership dropped off during the third hour.

How much more evidence do they need that the 3rd hour is useless? When the audience is tuning out week after week before your main event airs, you've got problems.

I for one have "NEVER" watched the third hour , the bullsmit two hours is all I can take , their are times I dont even watch all of the first two hours , it has become so predictable you know the outcome of every match before it even starts , why dont they throw us a surprise once in a while and let one of the stiffs win a match over one of the big stars ..

[shaud19]

I watch all three hours but I can see why people turn it off. They do so much reviewing, they'll show something like 3 different times. The interview with the NXT stars was shown in full twice. Three hours too much.

Right on!!! I don't even now why I keep watching. I read the spoilers for smackdown tonight and all the matches are very guessable.

[shaud19]

Raw was good last night. The Shield attacked Team Hell No, Orton, and finally The Miz at separate times during the night. Ryback got his revenge on Punk using a table, ladder, and chair.

Cena got a ladder match for money in the bank with Ziggler. Doesn't make sense for Cena to win so AJ must cost Cena the match somehow...turn heel as suggested before.

[Humpzilla]

This show has gotten so bad, i can't watch it any longer than 10-15 minutes at a time.

It makes a lot of sense for Cena to win the ladder match. He cashes it in on Big Show after winning the Rumble. Rock beats Punk at the Rumble for the WWE Title.

Title unification match between Cena and Rock at Wrestlemania.

I didn't think about that scenario. I feel since Ziggler's character has been carrying the suitcase around so long and has getting boosted with big time matches he deserves to be champion. It will be interesting how all this plays out.

Gonna be real interesting now since Punk had to get emergency knee surgery. What the hell are they going to do now?

They announced at the Smackdown tapings tonight that the main event at TLC has been scrapped. It is now Ryback and Team Hell No vs The Shield.

This PPV is sure to tank, unless enough people are interested in Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns.
