I've seen the Undertaker at the Q twice, Summerslam 1996 and Smackdown in 2009, both times he lost. He also randomly got his ass beaten by the Big Show at Unforgiven at the Q, and his team lost at Invasion, also at the Q. He beaten Heidenreich there at Survivor Series in 2004. What happens tomorrow night?
I dunno, I suppose the defining characteristic would be whether there's a ceiling which we won't be able to see because it's too high
God I hope for Orton's sake that Punk never suffers a paralyzing injury because this promo will really come back and haunt him. Even if it's 2 years from now, the descriptors really just put it into the "too far" line.

And this is why I stopped watching wrestling years ago except for the lulz now of how redonkulous most of it is. If my VCR still worked, I'd just do what I used to with Raw(and later on Nitro when they were still around), which was tape it so I could just fast forward past the yappity yap.

I laughed so ing loud after reading this. That would just be amazing
I like how Brian Armstrong keeps his arm relatively close to the mat when he's counting. I hate it when referees exaggerate their movements and flail wildly. IMHO the only one who got it really right was Nick Patrick. I get it's more exciting the other way but think of the logistics of making accurate decisions when you're moving so fast. Then there's Earl Hebner who just falls over when someone kicks out like he's got an inner ear problem.

WTF is the deal with Orton punting everyone? He punted Punk to prevent him from defending his title and now Punk wants his revenge. Yet Orton is the face and Punk is the heel? When did TNA take over Raw? Well hopefully Punk can get a good match out of Orton. I can't remember the last time he had a match that didn't put me to sleep.

It really doesn't make any sense. They have completely flipped the face/heel in this angle. The face doesn't run into the crowd to taunt, the heel does. The face sticks around gets his ass beat or makes a miraculous comeback. The face doesn't punt someone in the face after being begged not to, the heel does. I dunno, I think my dislike of Orton might be keeping me from being impartial but like I said, I just don't get how Orton is the face in this deal.
Double-edit: Just because Orton's a face doesn't mean he instantly has to kiss babies and host charity events. Nobody complained when Austin or Rock or HHH became faces but retained their heel qualities.
Even less necessary triple edit: Even Hulk Hogan constantly used illegal closed fists and eye gouges.

I think we're seeing a theme forming for tonight. I feel bad for Alex Riley's chances in the main event...
So we've got 30 minutes left, we're gonna hear from the Rock, HBK, and see a cage match?
Would it be in the WWE's best interest for Cena to put over Miz at Mania? They need to build new stars, and this would make Miz an instant main eventer.

Yes, which is why they won't.
Good to see Rock still has his display case of $300 replica titles he got from Highspots. Someone tell him he's not in Buffalo.
Fun fact: Rock, Yokozuna, Rikishi, Wild Samoans, The Usos, Tonga Kid and Umaga are all blood relatives, and Jimmy Snuka (and therefore Deuce and Tamina) is related by marriage.
