The crowd has been begging to have a reason to back Cody for a long time, since Legacy. He's more complete now than he was then, with his run under the mask building him up as an overall package.

I'm hoping somehow they have Cody "outsmart" Sandow and trick him into putting the MITB contract on the line and winning it at SummerSlam. I know it cheapens MITB, but it is already watered down to the point where this would be more interesting than the normal use of the briefcase.

They could easily stretch Rhodes/Sandow to Survivor Series. Have the blowoff for the briefcase at Survivor Series.

The Usos actually have some sweet moves, too bad they look like a tag team from my '93 WWF sticker book.

THIS IS A FUCKING WHINGE THREAD, NOT A 'OH THE USO'S HAVE SWEET MOVES THREAD'.
I'm closing this. |

Whichever Uso does the Rikishi butt bump move should have bleached blonde hair, possibly a beard, then we can tell them apart and know which one deserves a push to the moon when they split up.

'WWE have signed KENTA. They're going to ruin his gimmick'
'KENTA invented the GTS and Running Knee. CM Punk and Daniel Bryan are shit for stealing his moves' 'KENTA won't be able to use his moves because CM Punk is returning at SummerSlam, and because Daniel Bryan will keep using the running knee'. |

Think they'll acknowledge he created the GTS since Punk's on the outs, segue into a feud if/when he returns.

Could actually be a great way to bring him in. He's pissed at everyone stealing his moves so he came to the WWE to show everyone how it's done.
FIGNUTS FUN FACT: When CM Punk first hit WWECW, he wasn't using the GTS, but he was using KENTA's strike combination. |

‘Member when they turned him face again and made him a focal point of the build to Survivor Series by having him turn on The Authority and join Team Cena... only to have him be the first elimination.

In an alternate universe, The Ryback is a multi-time World Heavyweight Champion and future Hall of Famer.

Remember when they brought Goldberg back basically as soon as they let Ryback go? Ugh.

lol I was at that Mania and everyone in the crowd were absolutely baffled at Henry going over
Big Show 100% should've been WHW champion going into Mania and Ryback could've Shell Shocked him to win the belt. |

In hindsight it shouldn’t have been that big of a surprise. It’s been a trend in the last decade or so to make sure everybody loses their first Mania match and I think it’s by design to make The Streak look even more impressive over time.

He had lost every PPV match building up to that match. Icing on the horseshit cake.

Started with HIAC
Lost to CM Punk Lost to CM Punk and Cena in a Triple Threat match at Survivor Series Lost to the Shield at TLC Made it to the end at the Royal Rumble, eliminated by Cena Lost at EC to the Shield Lost to Mark Henry in the 3rd match at WrestleMania Turned heel No Contest with Cena at Extreme Rules Lost vs Cena at Payback Finally won at MITB against Jericho and that's how they completely killed Ryback dead People can say what they want about Ryback, but there's no question that he was over and the company did little to capitalize |

That ending of Raw where CM Punk attacked Mick Foley backstage and then looked up in horror before the camera showed Ryback standing there...
And then when he finally got his hands on Punk and the crowd went fucking attitude era-level bezerk. They built him up perfectly and got the exact reaction they wanted. It’s insane that they didn’t follow up on it. |

From a ruthless business perspective, it makes sense. Why risk creating another Austin or Rock that becomes bigger than the WWE and harder and more costly to control, when you're already making the highest profits the company has ever seen? You don't need that big crossover star. Sure sucks for the fans though. |

I’d forgotten about that Mark Henry vs Ryback match at Mania. Has to be up there on the list of “Wrong Guy Went Over”.

The smart thing to do is to just keep finding and building stars. If they become “too big” for wrestling, cool. You’ve just infiltrated the mainstream with another guy you can bring back once in a while as a special attraction. Maybe eventually you’ll have enough of those guys and you won’t have to get non-wrestlers like Gronk to come in because you’ve spent years killing your mainstream appeal. |
