I say this pretty much every week but here goes again Melina should just wear the ring gear all the time and Victoria? Lord. Maria? Lord, Lord. Mickie? Hmm. I don't know why but she's fallen off since being the bubbly face.

Vince should have asked Trump to exchange Miss America for promoting his show and burying Rosie for him.

See, I understood Khali more there then most nights with J.R

Candice looks like she's still fresh from her operation.

Wait, King has a shirt now?

Which is why I strongly believe that WWE should jump with Cena/Batista while they can because Batista can't be trusted to stay away from the DL.

At least it won't be the WM program.

At least Trump is actually involved. The rest is Vince trying to curry favors from NBC.

I'm a little sick of Vince being buddy with Trump here. Not that I care that Rosie is getting mocked but Vince being so willing to be a third wheel in a desperate plea for attention is just sad. At least Federline was amusing. There's nothing amusing about a fat boy in drag and Trump throwing insults.

I could watch a WWE ppv if it were in highlight package form. They always make the stuff look better then it actually was.

You had over 40 days to prepare and you let them score on the opening kick-off? That's gotta sting.

So much for Lashley/Khali... Oh, wait. It's Cena Vs Khali at WM isn't it?

Precisely. I think the fact he knows he has a child now and has that important role as a creative exec and that he isn't playing for the top spot and learning that rushing didn't help him the last time, he'll do the smart thing.

Exactly. Think of how many people missed the BSU/Oklahoma ending because it went pass midnight and it was a work/school night. The Super Bowl always starts early enough to avoid going late, why can't they do this with these bowl games? They don't need to start at 8:30. This goes for the World Series as well. Yeah, who cares about deserving teams not getting a chance at the Title every single season? Some people are losing precious sleep! I was just responding to Leena's comment about the late starts of the game. Oh, Ohio State 27 Florida 21

Edge is involved in a top program involving three other main event acts. Just because the tag titles are in play doesn't mean he's being misused. How is CM Punk being misused? He's a top shelf babyface on the #3 brand. He's been there for 4 months, he can't be main eventing right away. He isn't getting buried, he has been put over everyone thus far and has gotten a decent push overall.

The TNA thing doesn't really matter, they been pushing to get him for awhile. They obviously have a strong enough interest. Undertaker will do the right thing if it works for him. Edge doesn't need the win like Orton did two years ago but I think people would buy Edge as a legiti threat just as much as Batista given how strong he's been pushed the past year. Actually, Edge can lose this match and not be damaged as much as Orton was. Personally, I'd perfer to keep UT out of the title picture altogether just because the streak becomes intrusive. However, WWE doesn't have any strong people for that spot as it is unless they just do Edge/Batista with Cena/Orton on Raw leaving 'Taker for Umaga or a distant hope for Benoit. I really don't expect them to do that however. There's a good number of options to go with but I do fear they'll just do Taker/Batista, Cena/Umaga, Khali/Lashley, Hogan/McMahon Vs TBS/Bischoff and R-RKO Vs Shawn/Flair.

Never underestimate the power of Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller.

Care to justify claiming that Edge is mis-used? He HAS been the main event for the past year, been champion and a constant legit threat. Edge got the biggest push outside of Cena last year. Do you just have this stuff on automatic? If the injury is as severe as expected, it'll mean it will be just about 2 1/2 years without a world championship reign. Pretty good for a guy that everyone insisted just wanted to break Flair's record.

Trump isn't exactly an ethical guy to begin with. I think people will get it's a a guy in drag. It's not any different from the equally lame SNL skits.

Keep in mind that Corino isn't the most professional guy either. Known to walk out on shows but always has a cover excuse for it.

If anyone is dressing as Rosie, it'll be the fat male stripper guy. Maybe Rikishi can get a one night deal again.

As for Umaga? Monty Brown. Samoan Bulldozer Vs The Beast From The Serengeti. That's a McMahon WM match right there. Debut Monty at the Rumble with a couple weeks of video hype, he comes in middle of the match and pounces a few mid-carders out of the ring. Give him the Vader 1996 booking and push for the two savage beasts colliding at WM. Explain to me Lushus, how my idea was complex? All it requires is moving Edge over to SD and slotting HBK into the spot that was going to be HHH's anyways. They move someone over around this time of the year anyways and they have done a big cross-promotional match the past couple of years as well. It hardly shakes WWE to the core, just slots two main event acts around and establishes a true WM main event because UT/Batista, Cena/Umaga and Khali/Lashley doesn't cut it. 'Taker Vs Edge (Streak Vs Streak)-World Title Randy Orton Vs Shawn Michaels-WWE Title (I liked the idea of doing a Balboa thing and it probably works for Flair but I just can't put Flair in a WM main event, even though it probably wouldn't hurt. Shawn works for this spot and Orton should finally get a WM win here after losing the last 2 big matches. Also, Rodimer is coming in soon, place him as the Sid to Orton's Shawn) Batista Vs John Cena (A Warrior/Hogan match if there ever was one) Khali Vs Lashley-ECW Title (It'll be ugly as hell but they want this and it's the best way to do the Andre/Hogan homage which won't mean anything anyways) That'd be your top shelf main event car with 6 other matches to flesh out the card.

Trump fits the WWE image and it's hardly a surprise to the mainstream that he'd get publicity by any measure but I can't imagine Rosie actually getting involved. I'm guessing it'll just lead to a Trump/McMahon debate over the catchphrase and that'd set up the match. I'm still not sure if this means they'll do Umaga/Cena with Trump backing Cena and McMahon for Umaga or try to use someone else.

The reason that Cena/Orton doesn't work is because that match would require heat and right now Orton is great in his place but he can't just main event once again just to job. He'd look like a placeheld contender for Cena. Unlike HHH, whom is bulletproof, you can't job someone on the main event level three straight years unless they have a really strong presense. You could get away with that with Angle and HHH but Orton gets hurt from that. Cena/Orton, in theory could be a WM main event down the road considering they are both still very young and barring any unforsee incident, they will be darlings for the company for years to come. For WWE, this match could main event WM24 or WM25. I wasn't claiming that HHH/Cena 2 would be the better choice, but it was a fore-runner. The reason I'd push Cena Vs Batista is because this needs to be a major wrestlemania and this is the biggest money match for the WWE and to be fair, Batista is unreliable and you can't assume he'll be good to go for WM24 if they wanted to do this match in a smaller setting. It wouldn't require the titles because the value of the names alone would pull it into that Rock/Austin or Hogan/Warrior type level. They are already built as partners in crime, it doesn't take much to set up a angle out of that. Shifting the titles over to Orton to defend against Shawn and actually having Orton live up to his "destiny" claims for once does a great deal. Right now, Raw has no other choie then Shawn. As for Smackdown, my idea was that Edge should win the Rumble right now last eliminating The Undertaker. Heels don't win it enough and UT winning is just too predictable and they only want to do it to pad his resume. Having Edge win the Rumble and making the decision that "I've already beaten Cena countless times, I want to beat Batista now and keep my streak going". Edge builds up his winning streak while ignoring Undertaker's longer streak and continues to put himself over as the self-important jerk. Batista drops the title to Edge in impromptu title defense thanks to Cena setting up their match. Naturally, UT is deemed the #1 contender. Edge/Undertaker works on more levels then Batista/UT does and if anyone needs that ultimate rub, it's not Batista. It'd be Edge, who could use that win and finally become bulletproof. Edge would do more with breaking the streak then Batista does. Instead of going for Andre/Hogan with Batista and Undertaker, go with Warrior/Hogan using Cena and Batista. You're already doing the Andre-Hogan homage via the Lashley/Khali match or the Hogan tag match with TBS. Why do it twice in one night?

I'm really stunned that with the hype and attention Animal has got from his son, he hasn't tried to get in with WWE again or TNA.
