God, Vickie Guerrero is annoying. As soon as she started talking, I REALLY wanted to change the channel. Please, someone. Take the mic away from her. Vickie still gets more heel heat than anyone in the company. The fact that you didn't turn the channel is the reason she's still around. Speaking of SmackDown, Booker T was very underwhelming on commentary, but it was a welcome change from Matt Striker saying every little thing that pops into his head & flip floppin' from heel to face every two minutes. Kofi vs McIntyre & Rey vs Swagger were really good... rest of the show was shit.

Kofi vs McIntyre & Rey vs Swagger were really good... rest of the show was shit. I guess you've got a point. It's just her voice. It's so...screechy ;-; And her evil laugh she attempts to do. The only good thing going for her is that she's...well, a psycho. Other than that, I just think she's an awful heel. I wasn't a huge fan of Booker on commentary either. When Kofi ran down and was in the ring after saving Hornswoggle, I could've heard him say "Hold on a minute", like he was gonna go after Del Rio or something. Then, I kept in mind what AD said, and thought it would lead to Booker & Kofi teaming against Del Rio. Weird. I was looking at my friend when all the refs came out, and he told me "Booker is RIGHT there. Why didn't he help instead of the refs?" And I started watching around 8:50, so I missed nearly half of the show. To be exact, it was when Swagger hit Rey with his slingshot bodysplash (Then missed the second time, which was obvious to happen). EDIT: Also, I was a huge fan of Michelle doing that whiplash powerbomb throw to Kelly on the outside guard rail. Reminded me of Punk vs Joe II. If somebody can gif that, I'll love you forever. EDIT2: Apparently, Sting has never been in talks with WWE. EDIT3: Barrett has also cleared up rumors regarding Barrett vs Taker at WM, and said the idea has been brought to him, but he said he would accept the offer if given to him. Why do I have the feeling he's doing the same thing David Jaffe did?

Swerve? To what? The promo made it seem like it was going to be Taker so the only swerve I see is for Sting (might be wrong though).
Punk ignoring the blood during the opening segment was great. Didn't watch most of the show but I did see the Sheamus/Henry segment. Weird that they seem to want to push Henry as a monster face after everything that they've had him do.

That show was awful. The worst in weeks and weeks.
Disregarding the booking for a moment, the show's first segments included: Punk and Orton clashing heads leading to a supposedly broken nose, a babyface forgetting where he was and having the entire crowd turn against him, and a sloppy divas match wherein Natalya cut promos while Justin Roberts was announcing.
Now, the booking...
The show began with a heated segment between Punk and Orton (a rivalry leading to Wrestlemania) and ended with a heated segment between Punk and Cena (a rivalry leading to the Elimination Chamber). Did these segments need to happen on the same show? It diluted both of the feuds. I'm a Punk fan, but he and the New Nexus were overexposed on the show. Also, way to get over your Royal Rumble winner by putting him in a fairly competitive match with Santino Marella.
After Punk cut a passionate promo to Mason Ryan about how he wants the members of the New Nexus to hurt their opponents, why didn't he have any problem with McGuillicutty looking like an idiot and losing the match to Morrison within a minute?
I haven't the slightest idea what Cena's justification for the intentional DQ was in storyline. The referee told him to watch it and he responded by throwing the match? Perhaps he was baiting Nexus, although they hadn't even made it to the ring yet.
Michael Cole was insufferable on the show. I understand that they're building to something with him at Wrestlemania, but he hurt every segment on the show with the exception of Lawler's.

Swerve? To what? The promo made it seem like it was going to be Taker so the only swerve I see is for Sting (might be wrong though). I posted that before I saw Atomsk's edits. Yeah, I was wondering if the music was to throw everybody off who thought it was Sting, but if Atomsk is right, looks like Sting was never coming to begin with. With the exception of Punk, last night sucked, but last weeks episode was far worse. I was incredibly entertained by Truth shouting out Green Bay while they were in Milwaukee, the crowd turning on him, & then proceeding to botch all of his own offense. I can't stand him. I didn't really have a problem with any of the Nexus stuff after the opening. The Cena/Punk main event was just 'rasslin' logic run amok. No biggie.

Host is obviously The Rock.
EDIT: Let me re-word it: I'll be surprised if it ISN'T The Rock.
EDIT2: Apparently, Cena and Punk had a rap battle. Unfortunately, the people near the camera in this video wouldn't shut the fuck up, so you can't hear Punk very clearly near the end of the first part.

Yes, the host has to be The Rock and a great host he will make.

I'll be happy as long as it's not Donald Trump or some corny shit like that.

Bob Barker is awesome. The rest not so much. This is shaping up to be the worst Mania in years.

When was the last time that somebody was booked to be as unsuccessful as Dolph Ziggler? Remember a few months ago when he feuded with Rey Mysterio and just kept losing every single match? And the same thing has been happening with him and Edge. It's almost become a running gag.
