That was really good i thought, as long as London isnt really injured, he made it look so good...he puts his body on the line every match, he must get injured sometime, although i dont want him to because he is my favourite Cruiserweight

Vince's checklist for new talent.

Over six foot? Check
Weighs over 250 pounds? Check.
Muscular physique? Check.
Talent? Who cares?

How the hell did Heidenreich get a job in the wwe!? He sucked so much he made snitsky look good!!! he couldnt even take a ddt! he almost handed on his flamin back!! and the double suplex he just stud by snitsky and fell back lol

The casket match and the Rumble were rubbish.

Still coming down from the Elix Skipper spot at Turning Point, now that was great

Damn though, you all seen the Paul London spot? That was eye-opening.

hehehehe

Worse than that, they have just announced they will be changing their name and initials to reflect the current product.

THWNVE is the new name of the WWE. For those wondering, the initials stand for 'Triple H Wrestling, Not very entertaining.'.

Batista in the main event at Wrestlemania? Dear God the WWE truly has gone into the gutter
