That Ambrose/Foley thing was cool

Wish they would do more stuff like that

I think the biggest reason Brock won't get treated poorly, even as he's doing this solely for a paycheck, is that he will be 100% fine with being a heel and I think WWE won't have a problem portraying him that way.

But he'll just be seen as a good guy cause he'll be going against Cena. :lol:

I'd like a third guy on SD. I've grown accustomed and to be different from Raw.

Yeah, he'll be cheered against Cena. But he can at least go all out and act like an asshole. And after Cena, he can be a heel against someone else.

The crowd already made him a good guy

I hope he beats up every face, gets teamed up with the most hated heels and still gets love from the crowd.

I think Brock should destroy Cena and CM Punk at Summerslam. Let him keep the belt and boast that nobody can beat him. Have the Rock win the Rumble and face off against Brock at WM. Have the Rock win thanks to interference by Cena. Cena gets cheered. Rock gets the belt. Brock is defeated, but not cleanly.

And I really think the Rock should win the belt at WM. Wrestlemania is a place for faces to win and storylines to end. The fans should go home happy. The only exceptions were last year when Miz won but that was do to fan favorite Rock's interference, the year Austin turned heel at WM 17 (and of course Yokozuna beating Hart, but then Hogan beat him anyway).

I don't think making Cena out to being the next Rocky Balboa is going to work either, mostly because the outcome is too predictable. The problem with Cena is that his antics are no longer entertaining. The goody two shoes shtick is boring and lame, especially for a company that prides itself for being entertaining. Honestly, I think the best move to make in regards to Cena is to have him go back to being the Doctor of Thuganomics. The white rapper gimmick was the thing that got Cena over in the first place and when he went back to doing it recently against the Rock, for the first time in a long time he managed to get an all around positive reaction as opposed to the average split.

Let Brock be the Doomsday to Super Cena and cause him to "lose his smile" and go back to having an in your face, smash mouth style that he ironically had in the beginning. You don't have to give Cena another shot at the heavyweight title for the thirteenth time. You don't have to give Cena a second Royal Rumble victory. All you have to do is give the man his edge, stop with all the happy go lucky, nonchalant bullshit and let the man show that ruthless aggression and like it.

I have a feeling we're going to get Brock going up against the Undertaker at next year's WM.

I would be fine with that version of Cena as well. I still want him to win the Rumble and beat Rock at WM29 for the title though.

Day 96.

Finished up disc one of the Kane DVD. This might be shocking, but it didn't really suck. Sure there were no instant classics or MOTYs, but there was only one or two matches I'd rate below good. Lots of good matches, a couple of really good ones, but nothing actively bad.

So in a continuation of the Undertaker-feud, Kane vs. Undertaker in an Inferno Match. For the sheer spectacle it's worth a view. Match-wise it's decent, but really - you gotta see the fire explode when they slam each other and what not for that alone.

Next is Undertaker vs. Steve Austin in 1st Blood Match. It's your typical, good Austin-style brawl. They brawl in the ring. The Cell lowers. They brawl in the cell. The cell rises. They brawl in the entrance. Shenanigans occur with the Undertaker hitting Austin and before you know it, Austin is losing because he's bleeding.

Fast-forward to '99 where Kane teams with X-Pac against Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett for the tag titles. WACKY PARTNERS~! Kane and X-Pac win a meaningless match and the belts.

Fast-forward again until the end of '99 to X-Pac vs. Kane in a cage. A surprisingly good and fun match here. The stips say that only X-Pac can win by escape, so when he climbs over - Kane walks out underneath him to catch him. Clever, that. Lots of interference, nullifying the purpose of the cage, but it's still good fun.

Fast-forward one whole year to end of 2000 in a Chris Jericho vs. Kane Last Man Standing match. This what fought over a coffee spill. Another good, fun match with tons of brawls and Jericho doing his best to walk Kane through it. The ending is great, with Jericho knocking over a wall of barrels to keep Kane down.

We end this DVD with Kane/Undertaker vs. Dudleys vs. Edge & Christian. Another fun match, although this is more Dudleys vs. Edge & Christian with Kane and Undertaker tossed in casually. In fact, Haku and Rikishi take 'taker and Kane out of the match. Some nice table teases and it was interesting to see the mid-card interact with a main eventer.

Match of the Day goes to Steve Austin vs. Kane.

- There is a lot of talk going around the wrestling world that Ric Flair will be back with WWE in 2013, especially if the Network gets off the ground since a lot of his footage will be used and he's very popular with the public.

Flair's deal with TNA expires at the end of this year.

Flair did an interview for a Charlotte radio station earlier this week where he claimed his last wrestling match was the retirement match against Shawn Michaels. He also talked highly of Vince McMahon and The Rock.

I am all for Flair coming back to work for the WWE in some backstage/network role but come on Flair how can he seriously claim that his match with HBK was his last wrestling match :smt102
