The interesting thing will be the return of Seth in a couple of months. Seth was the top heel until his injury but was always that type of guy that people wanted to cheer anyways since he is an insane athlete and workhorse (ala Shawn Michaels).

The landscape is a fair bit different since he went out tho. The Authority is off TV and Roman is a tweener ass kicker champ. And AJ Styles being there kind off fills the Shawn Workhorse role.

Will he be a heel upon return or do they turn him face and start the slow build to Seth vs AJ at mania next year?
 
I thought Cena'd be the top guy in the company the second I saw him. It was during his feud with Kurt Angle back in '03. As young as I was, I knew right away that his look and his charisma were above everyone in the company. Including Eddie Guerrero, Brock Lesnar, and even Angle himself.

This isn't to say I was some sort of wrestling Nostradamus. I deliberately avoided non-kayfabe news sources, and I got many other predictions wrong at the time. I just felt the magnetism of certain guys like Cena and Hogan was the kind of thing anyone could spot even if they didn't know anything about wrestling.

This also goes beyond pro-wrestling. You can observe the same phenomenon with Ronda Rousey or Tyson Fury and many other examples in every field. Some people just have a talent for celebrity.

Oh yeah, Cena's got it.
A lot of my issues with Cena was that as he was starting I was like "oh fuck this dude's just gonna keep getting bigger, I can't wait to see how he develops in the ring, especially when he learns to sell". And then he stayed pretty much there.

I really hope Cena does a Fist of the North Star movie.
 
I was checking out this article on What Culture about the worst to best NXT call ups. So I'd like to share my feelings and hear from you.

21: It is a shame what happened to the Ascension, especially how much ass they kicked on NXT.
20: I just love what a little weasel Bo Dallas is. He could've been this generation's answer to the Honky Tonk Man. Someone who takes jobbers to make himself look good and then weasels his way out of anyone who could defeat him (do something like try to get Cesaro deported).
19: Tyler breeze deserves so much better than what he got. He has everything to be a great heel. Make him the Miz's protege only to screw each other over.
15: Granted, it was nice of them to give him an unexpected boost in that match with Ryback.
14: I have a soft spot for Adam Rose since i really liked the idea of a face that was cheerful and fun-loving with a cult of personality and could be a bit of a trickster.
13: I'm really worried about them.
10: He's doing ok, but it could be better. Maybe if they brought back the cruiserweight championship.
8: I'm glad he's gotten better.
7: Thankfully, separating him from Lana didn't wreck his career. Though I have a feeling she'll be forgotten by next year.
6 and 5: The Divas division deserves to get the recognition it deserves.
1: I predict a lot of good things for him.

Might as well say goodbye to them then. Since recently guys don't tend to come back from suspensions, especially second violations.

On the plus for Viktor, I hear the Social Outcasts are looking for a new fourth man
 
So I watched the Mysterio vs Juventud 5 Stars match,and I was thinking "who knew that this guy (Juventud)would end up riding a lawnmower to the ring ten years later"
 
The absolute rage among WWE fans when the article ranking the 10 strongest wrestlers in WWE was released and Brock was not number 1.

Delicious

They even said they're the reason Bullet Club got as popular as it is.

Aaah, my most hated tag team today. And this is in a world that used to host Los Matadores

Lost a lot of respect for Meltzer and Jim Ross today. Making light of and disrespecting mental illness and suicide on air, Larry Sweeney's suicide in particular (5 years gone now). Meltzer saying that "mentally ill people should just get over it" really brings home how distanced he is from how real life works.

Granted I knew Dave was a piece of shit from his handling of other situations (recent example. When New Japan wrestler Tomoaki Honma was accussed of spousal abuse, Melty's reply was "lol women".)

JR really hits me in the feels tho for going along with it.

Now I need some Larry Sweeney theme music.

I was going through the (incredibly autistic) SquaredCircle subreddit AMAs the other day, and I came across someone who appeared to be loathed, but I tried to search for it and I couldn't find much about them. His name is Jon Barber, and apparently he is a CHIKARA referee who has botched multiple times and has something to do with XPW or something? Like I said, I couldn't find much on him, but whenever he was asked about him botching he would reply with the same answer like a robot.

If anyone could fill me in on why people seem to absolutely loathe him, I would appreciate it. It seems like it would be hilarious.
