So, is Christian a face now? I guess going after Cody seems like it might be a move to make him a face, but I think he needs to actually talk a bit to really set that up. :smt102

And if Jindar is nothing but a jobber, does he really need so many props and a stand for his turban? :smt102

Anyways, decent little short match. Christian could make a broom look good in the ring, so that's not surprising. A bit sloppy, but it's a guy that never gets on TV vs a guy that's been off TV for a long time with an injury, so that's not surprising either. Kind of shocked that Christian is continuing to use the flying European Uppercut now that Claudio is actually on TV (on a slight tangent, I'd be happy to see the two of them feud for the IC title this summer).

Ziggler and Swagger deserve better than being used as random filler guys. :smt011

Their treatment, especially Ziggler, over the last few months is depressing.

I'm shocked, shocked I say, that all the heels are standing ringside.

I wonder what they will do with Tensai going forward. He wasn't allowed ot help Ace on Sunday, he's not going after Punk any time soon, he's not going after Cena this month and the way they aren't using him I don't see how he could be a SummerSlam opponent for Cena (assuming they use Brock vs HHH there, I figured Cena vs Tensai would be a logical move for both guys if they made Tensai into a total monster over the next couple months).

Ziggler gets tossed around better than just about anyone. I could watch him get tossed from the ring every night for the rest of the year and not really get sick of it.

This match was obvious and predictable, but a good version of this kind of match despite that. Shocking that all the heels attacked the two faces.

Also shocking that the faces then came out to save the day. You never see things like that happen (also, it confirmed Christian as a face, since he was out there trying to save the good guys.

I liked how Cena used this as an excuse to go find Show and try to get revenge. No shock it ended poorly for him, though I liked the way they staged it where the viewer didn't see it coming any more than Cena did (and truth be told, Cole did a great job talking over it and then getting surprised halfway through a sentence).

Overall, I liked the show even if I don't think a single match ended with a pin or submission beyond the Christian match.

Love having Christian getting the push he is right now. First time he's held the title since 2003, right?

I really liked that Christian used the Frog Splash as his finisher in the match, I would rather he continue to use that move than the Killswitch as I never liked that move.

What a sloppy dive outside the ring by Cena. I think he legit hurt Jericho, who was obviously fine after.

While I can agree with the top 3 of Sting, Flair, Hogan the rest of the list is a complete fucking joke, seriously. Kevin Nash should in no way be listed anywhere near that high, Erich Bischoff shouldn't be on the list at all, neither should Dennis fucking Rodman! Dusty Rhodes isn't on the list at all, WTF!!

My guess would be that they are using the WCW start point and not when they were still NWA. Harley Race is not on that list that i see and he was just a manager in the 90's and Dusty was a commentator for the most part

Ok I'll give them benefit of the doubt if that is what they are doing. Still even considering that having Bischoff ranked higher than guys like Rick Rude, Chris Jericho, Terry Funk, etc is just a fucking joke.

Stunning Steve Austin shouldn't be on the list. Don't even remember his run.

WCW was probably at one of it's lowest points when Stunning Steve was doing his thing. He had some nice reigns as US Champ, TV Champ, and Tag Champs with Brian Pillman. Had some great matches with Ricky Steamboat and a few others but nothing during this period of WCW stood out as being really good.

oh I don't agree with your thoughts on the list
I never agree with these lists, they are pointless, it's all subjective.

when did they break from NWA? 1990ish?

No Z-Man?

I didn't know Sting was also in WWE.com's Alumni section too

I would really like to see Sting wrestle one match for WWE before it's too late, and it almost is

Flair as a manager would be GREAT!

Him on commentary once in a while would also be fun.
