M Dogg™:
Can't wait for tomorrow. The Network's launch has me excited. I am buying it tomorrow morning as soon as possible. So tonight, last time I... hum... go to find a sports bar to watch a PPV.
Marty Jannetty:
Wyatts/Shield was awesome, although I missed quite a bit cause my internet/stream was fucking up. Main event, well, WWE is fucking up big time, this is beyond a storyline now. No one gives a flying fuck about Boretista or Borton, oh well.
RAW should be interesting tonight.
M Dogg™:
Bryan is getting back in the main event picture. I think the plan since Royal Rumble, when the fans turned on everyone but Bryan, was to push Bryan to win the title, or at least be in the main event. I can even see Orton winning at WM and Bryan winning the rematch at Seattle, then carrying the Orton/Bryan program through the summer when Bryan eventually moves on.
I just want to say this, for this current era of the WWE, Orton is a PERFECT heel. I love it. I haven't seen Orton this good as a heel in a long time. Many people are really over looking he has been. Almost perfect.
Marty Jannetty:
Different people different tastes I guess. Orton, to me, doesn't cut it at all. I almost dislike him as much as Triple H and not because he is doing his job as a heel well but because he's just unbelievably boring to me. From the entrance music, to his lame pose to the finisher to the "apex predator" shit. It doesn't appeal to me AT ALL. But I can see how people like him. And in theory the chosen one gimmick is great, but it doesn't negate his lameness to me.
Bryan should have been champ and starting a 2 - 3 month reign at Survivor Series, instead of having him demoted to the Tag match with Punk vs the Wyatts. Then screw him out of it and do whatever you want. That way you can still keep the Authority/Bryan story going but at least there would have been a feel good moment and some sort of -semiconclusion to it while still being able to continue the whole thing since the face was screwed. But now they keep Bryan in the chase since Summerslam 2013 (on and off) and it just feels dragged out for the sake of dragging it out. But okay, let's see what happens at RAW tonight.

I think that the fact you and many others feel like that is EXACTLY why Orton is the perfect heel. He is feeding off of it. I felt the same way until I watched Royal Rumble against Cena, he fed off that crowd so well and they gave him shit and it almost made his character better. At first, he looked lost in this chosen one role, especially because the writing for him made him look weak and lost. But in the ring, with the crowd, he is a master. I don't think people realize how good he has been. It's a lot like his dad. His dad make things looks so easy that we took for granted how good he really was. Randy has that same thing about him. He makes wrestling look so easy, we take it for granted. The fact that people are so mad at him and just want him off their TV, and he is feeding off of that makes it even better.
