Stephanie is a Cena mark. She heard him rapping and convinced Vince that he is WWE's savior. They needed to fill that void after Brock left.

Also, Goldberg is still trashing the WWE, calling it a circus, believing his own hype. He's in talks with TNA.

I wonder if HBK will be @ the Hall of Fame.

IMO, besides not improving the ring John Cena started going downhill when he was still on Smackdown and the suits at the network and WWE began censoring him. Once they started writing his raps and promos for him instead of letting him do what go him over he was through. What made it so bad though was that once he went to Raw and was on basic cable with lots more freedom the are still doing his writing.

It's like the WWE never learns. The Rock and Stone Cold didn't get over with the fans until they cut the cord and let them be themselves on TV.

Guys like HHH, Austin, Taker, the Rock and Chris Jericho want the creative team to let the guys come up with their own stuff, but it doesn't matter what they want. It's ashame that these idiots are up in the offices writing what these guys should be doing themselves.

Are you serious? That's how he got into the biz? :blink:

What do you guys think of Vince Russo's (who has now found God) writing? I loved his crazy stories during the "attitude" years and the Monday Night wars era.

John Cena wrestled down in OVW under the name "Prototype". He originally was brought up when the WWE began their "Routhless Agression" campaign. His character was a no-nonsense person. Eventually they turned him heel and he began rapping, having such sidekicks as B2 (B squared) (ex-Bull Buchanan) and Red Dog or something (It was Rodney Mack).

Vince Russo was good when Vince McMahon was still sane and would reign him in before he did something totally off the wall. They complemented each other story wise and now that Stephanie rules the world and Vince seems to have lost his mind WWE TV has gone to hell.

anyone else excited about Wrestlemania? I know it's not the best card ever, but for some reason I'm really excited about it. Too Bad the WWE canned having PPVs on CBand Satellite Dishes, so I can't watch them anymore.

The funny thing is I find the whole women's championship storyline a heck a of lot more interesting most of any of the other storylines for the other matches for some reason.

Is that the pillow match with Torrie. That should be good. :D

ITA. He sucked at WCW.

What's the story behind Jim Ross not being the Raw play-by-play man anymore and Joey Stiles (wasn't he at ECW??) getting the job.

Jim Ross was "fired" in October (on-screen he was, but he continued his office duties). The WWE wanted to replace Jim Ross with UFC announcer Mike Goldberg, but ruined the chance of snagging him when they wanted him to no-show a UFC event. The then went to Joey Styles as a temporary thing, but they eventually signed him.

Vince McMahon doesn't like Joey Styles' way of announcing, so he's constantly yelling at him in his headpiece to push the storylines more. Joey is more of a play-by-play person, due to his vast knowledge of wrestling. He's good when it comes to selling storylines and stuff, but he's not "broken in" yet. Basically, Vince should just let Joey do what he wants b/c he brings down Joey's style (no pun intended) by constantly talking to him in his headpiece and distracting him.

Jim Ross originally needed time off to get surgery done, but the WWE has been trying to remove for a few years now. He doesn't "fit" into what Vince's idea of a commentator should be. Jim Ross isn't much of a looker and his bell's palsy is also a hinderance in Vince's eyes. Jerry "The King" Lawler got a facelift back in 2001-2002 due to him being afraid of losing his spot on the announce team.

The main problem is Jonathan Coachman. He's an ass and he's totally annoying on the mic. The perfect team would be JR/King/Styles, but I doubt that will ever happen. On top of that, Michael Cole & Tazz are upset that Smackdown gets treated as the secondary show and they are treated as the secondary announce team. The WWE could have chosen Cole or Tazz to replace JR (Tazz rocks as an announcer) but they didn't and that caused more problems backstage.

    • They even had the same cop investigate the crime lol
    • So I think I figured based on the end credits who is the script writer for each episode. Thursday's episode looked to have been script written by David Kreizman, and it was a well written episode that flowed well. Today's episode looked to have been script written by Henry Newman (son of Fran Myers and the late Roger Newman).   Right now, I've noticed improvements on the day to day scripts and that's a good sign that eventually the long term outlines that we will see in the coming weeks and months will be good.  Fingers crossed.
    • I have a very different view of Dano. For one thing, she like me, loves her little dogs. Another thing, of course she is effusive, outgoing but she is also very vulnerable & she used to have her Frank, her mother & Vivian who officially was her publicist (I think) but she was so much more. Now, they are all gone. Well, except for her always having a pair of her little dogs. But, if I were going to think in your terms, what I would think is "cool aunt". Because this lady is really one cool dame. Here is one of my favorite views of her https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGecq8rJS4w/

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170. 
    • I guess, according to Mike Manning in the Michael Fairman chat, he was almost Derek
