Please make Triple H heal again. Him and Jezza (Jericho, not Jeremy Kyle) are the best heels ever.

[bobcat]

Edge vs Jericho
Cena vs Batista
McMahon Vs Bret (or tag variation of)
Undertaker vs HBK
Orton vs Rhodes vs DiBiase

Its shaping up nicely

Please make Triple H heal again. Him and Jezza (Jericho, not Jeremy Kyle) are the best heels ever.

I'm ok with him being heel but not if it means 20minute dialogues at the start of each Raw.

I prefer DX Comedy HHH to Lemmy from Motorhead HHH growling "oooh look at me, I'm so tough and scary I need a big sledgehammer to beat people". Although I do prefer his water spitting entrance to the DX one.

Edge is a MUCH better heel than HHH in my opinion, but they'll keep him face for a while. Orton too, but can see them teasing a turn with him too sadly.

Orton as face just seems weird to me. I think that's what's happening though.

So, NXT is the best WWE tv in years. Who saw that coming?

[Guy M]

I haven't seen it yet, but am hoping to watch both episodes some time today or tomorrow.

My brother had seen the first one and said he wasn't sure about it, but from what little I've read / heard, I really think it could work. The choice of 'superstars' to go with the rookies is shit-hot and that should help.

[Hazz]

It's really rather brilliant, and they're actually playing around with the production, so it feels fresh and new, which for a long-time WWE viewer is quite jarring. Jericho/Bryan had a fab little TV match, too.

[greenwichvilla]

I agree, it was really good. Obviously being set up for Bryan to be the star. Really well done the way they've got him and Miz not seeing eye to eye.

Some of the camera angles where great, and it looked and felt very different tot the standard WWE fodder we get fed every week.

However, one thing that concerns me is the show may lack a sense of direction. There's no element of competiton, even though we've been told there will be a winner. One thought that was going round was haing two winners, one to Raw, one to Smackdown, which could work.

They need to tell us what the competition is, how the rookies are going to be tested and how long the series will last. Otherwise it could get stale and boring quite quickly.

Thought Punk was amazing with his guy, he just seemed so disinterested, which was great. Jericho's guy seems like a bit of a tit aswell.

Other than that though, a good, strong start for NXT. Hopefully it will continue.

NOOOOOO. That's "jeopardy". Heard that shite all the time when I was working in "reality" television. Apparently, we, the audience, need "jeopardy" otherwise we will lose interest.

I haven't started watching NXT yet, but I don't need an elimination every week and 15 seconds of close-ups of each competitor's face before they're told (in turn) that they "will be coming back next week" to make me watch. if it's a good programme, I'll watch. If it's another boring "reality" programme with "jeopardy" that will have execs patting each other on the back at how clever they've been, I'll be sorely disappointed.

[Hazz]

Quite. The format is that the Pros vote for which Rookie think should be kept on at the end of the 'season' and they get a Raw contract. I don't think they've quite worked out how long a season is going to be, though. It's got the potential to be brilliant, although Michael Cole's new character is going to quickly become annoying.

[TheTimVilla]

Guy -in that case, you'll be out of luck as there's no imagination there...

Vinny Mac in ANOTHER feud where he'll spit out the words "I hate you". As he's already done against Undertaker, Austin, Rock, HHH, HBK, Hogan, etc.

A bit like Michael Cole's old character?!

PS - as per your sig, where do I send my shits?

[greenwichvilla]

I see.

I agree with you, Guy. Just wish that had been made more clear.

On another issue, does anyone really want to see Bret vs Vince at Wrestlemania? I don't....

No, because this time he's actively trying to be annoying in a heelish way, but he's just annoying in a my-god-he's-so-clueless way. JBL would be great.

Just paypal me over your shits, I'll sort through 'em.
