[Asmo]

Natalya's a face again! Yay!

[slik]

Seems appropriate the first smackdown of the new year starts with 4 wrestlers arguing and an authority figure making the main-event a tag match involving them.

[Shisen Kopf]

Not gonna tape

[Tazz Dan]

According to the front page spoilers, Del Rio wasn't there and no reason was given, so something is DEFINETLY up.

Orton and Sheamus could be a pretty great "big fight/big hype" type of match for WrestleMania without having to use part-timers. Something WWE has lacked for years now.

[Tazz Dan]

Would not enjoy that personally. But that's purely due to my lack of interest in Orton.

[Bad News Gertner]

The hell is Slater jobbing to the Miz.

[Tazz Dan]

Not sure if that's a question or a statement.

[Droford]

According to the front page spoilers, Del Rio wasn't there and no reason was given, so something is DEFINETLY up.

Maybe they finally arrested him for wreck less driving

The hell is Slater jobbing to the Miz.

I believe that's what jobbers are supposed to do.

[#1-norm-fan]

Jobbers gon' job.

[Bad News Gertner]

Slater is gonna win the rumble BABY!

[#1-norm-fan]

One Man BLAND is more like it!

[Bad News Gertner]

Slater should replace JBL on commentary
