Now that i'm thinking of this week's AOW podcast, at the end Punk mentions Jason Aaron and being a fan of his series Scalped, which i thought was pretty awesome to hear, since i also loved that book.That is all... Yea that was cool, and I can't wait for his Thor book. I'm a fan of Punk, always have been. And if he's fighting for better conditions for the guys, then I can kinda see it. But I don't know how much of that stuff I buy into. He was a lot more me, me, me, than he was any of the other guys (except Danielson). And the stuff he said about Ryback was completely uncalled for. I just don't think he came out of this in a positive light at all. I'll be curious to see how the one this week goes (especially after everyone in the WWE has taken the high road)

Speaking of Punk, apparently he signed a deal with UFC.I'm not a MMA guy at all, but i am interested to see where this is going, though i can't see him being as succesful as Lesnar.

For those people who are still not sure if they should sign up for the Network, NXT had their latest TakeOver event yesterday, and that alone is worth the $9.99!
I loved Survivor Series(mainly because of Sting)and i think it was my favourite event this year, but man, this one is up there! And man, talk about debuts, Kevin Owens!(or Steen, if you will)He was one of my favourites in the indy scene, and now he's one of my favourites in the WWE.His feud with Zayn is gonna be awesome!

Wow, i love the Rumble match, and i always will, but WWE screwed up BIG TIME this year!Even more than last year, in my opinion.

I thought most of the matches were good, the Rumble was booked awfully. Can't believe creative thought they could palm that off on a Philly crowd. I'm pretty indifferent to Reigns, but felt a bit sorry for him bearing the brunt of the crowds frustration due to terrible decisions. Still, Owens V Zayne in the next NXT takeover is going to be good.

RR was a good event with an awesome Main Event, that will definitely be a match of the year contender. but yeah the end of the rumble was just awful and i fear that Reigns may not recover from it.
after watching raw i think the best way to go for them to save Romans career would be to let him work the "wrestling is in my genes angle" as a heel with Heyman as manager so he doesnt have to speak.

Good thought but they've invested so much in Reigns, it'll be hard to turn him for a good long time. I also enjoyed the 3-way match. The RR? Ehhhh I hope it was the beginning of the build to Undertaker/Bray, I'm confused about the Bryan early elimination, but Rusev is gonna be a monster & Ambrose is gonna be a treat.

So, anyone excited for Mania yet?
I don't know, some of the matches could be great, but with most of them i can't help but think about what could have been(Brock/Reigns, Sting/HHH, Taker/Bray), and some of them i just don't care about(Cena/Rusev, Orton/Rollins).And what about Bryan at Mania?There are talks about him being in the IC title match, but come on, that guy should have a high profile singles match, in my opinion.Or he's gonna have a match against Sheamus...no...just no.
But who knows, it could suprise me.This might be the first year i'm gonna watch it live, thanks to the Network, even though its gonna in the middle of the night for me.

But who knows, it could suprise me.This might be the first year i'm gonna watch it live, thanks to the Network, even though its gonna in the middle of the night for me. As much as I agree that Bryan should be in a higher profile match, I think the WWE needs to start elevating the IC and US titles. They have become an afterthought in recent years. I think that is a big reason why they are pushing the Cena/Rusev match. Now they are showing us that multiple guys want that IC title giving it some meaning. Like it's a sought after title. What I'm waiting for is the UT to show up at Raw soon. It has to happen sooner than later. All the build up has been on Bray's side, but we'll have to hear from the Deadman soon. On the SCSA podcast he pointed out that Taker wouldn't have signed off on the idea if he wasn't ready. So we've got the build up on Bray's side, lets see the Deadman soon! Regarding Sheamus, I think he'll enter the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and probably win it. My hope is they put an incentive on that Battle Royal to make it mean just a little more. Just my 2 cents.

Just my 2 cents. I agree, giving the IC and US titles more attention is never a bad thing, and i'm glad that both are gonna be defended on Wrestlemania, but while i do think the IC title match could be awesome i think it could do without Bryan(hope my guy Ambrose wins it!) As for Cena/Rusev, the one thing i like about that match is that its gonna be about US title, but i stopped caring about most of Cena's matches years ago and while i think Rusev is a great athlete i don't really care about his anti USA gimmick. I heard talk that they're probably saving Taker for Mania, he may accept Bray's challenge in some way or another at Raw, but he probably won't make an appearance before that match. And i have to go with Mizdow as the winner of the Battle Royal.

Really liked this new Max Landis video.Its basically his Life and Death of Superman video, but with wrestling.
I especially liked what he says at the end, about how wrestling sucks most of the time, but when its good its fucking great!He gets it.

that's great, I loved how he included Grant Morrison's Annihilator comic at the end in the bit about fiction and imagination.

great now i want to see a Evolution sitcom.
also really great conclusion of the video showing why we crave fiction and why wrestling is so great.

Mania time!
First time i'll be watching it live.Took the day off from work just to watch it, since its the middle of the night for me right now. There's a big chance it might end up being a dissapointment(at least the André Battle Royal in the pre show was)but we'll see.
