I liked the first one better. But yeah, still entertaining and 10x better than Cena little nursery rhyme from last week.

Who's marking out about Stone Cold Steve Austin next week? It's like the Attitude Era reunion: The Rock, Triple H, The Undertaker, Vince McMahon, and now Stone Cold Steve Austin, and of course The Big Show who never left. All we're missing is Kurt Angle and Jericho and the whole Attitude Era main-event scene would be back.

Seeing how this whole Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Michael Cole thing is playing out, is making me think that The King is getting ready to retire soon. One last run before saying goodbye is what this is starting to look like to me. This is more than just one of his once-in-a-while matches he does.

And did anyone else find themselves agreeing with The Miz this week? He's absolutely right. While it's not the match I would have chose for this, The Miz vs. John Cena for the WWE Titles is indeed the main-event for Wrestlemania and should indeed be the focus of John Cena and all storylines surrounding him. I really feel that the WWE timed this Rock vs. Cena thing at a bad time. I'm excited as heck to see The Rock, but they should wait until the next PPV for Rock vs. Cena play out. Or have Rock vs. Cena at Wrestlemania, but have someone else challenge Miz for the title.

That's why I love heels. They so often speak the truth. Miz does have a point.

Also, no matter what Lawler or Josh Matthews say on commentary, CM Punk was COMPLETELY justified in starting this current feud with Orton. Lawler actually sounds like an idiot each time he bad mouths Punk for going after Orton with New Nexus. That's EXACTLY what Orton and Legacy did. That's actually why I love this feud. It makes sense. Guys like Orton and Triple H should have to pay for their sins even if they've gone babyface. This is actually a lot like Orton's vengeance feud when he went after Triple H and his family for what Hunter did to him in Evolution. I love the irony. It all comes full circle for Orton

Let me just say, I am a way bigger fan of the Rock than Cena, but the fact that he did his promo from his house in LA and still did "the Rock has come back to Buffalo" thing just verified everything Cena said the week before. Obviously none of this real, but everything Cena addressed was. It be one thing if the Rock was back full time, but realistically that's not going to happen.

GODDAMNIT! THEY SAY THAT EVERY FUCKING YEAR!!!!

That's getting old Lawler....jeez
Well, Mark ain't getting any younger... though with the exception of Flair and HBK, his opponents usually are.

Unless Undertaker is retiring, he's not gonna lose at Wrestlemania. They aren't gonna tarnish the streak until he retires and promotes the next guy on his way out.

Can't wait to see Sin Cara's (Mistico) debut in the next few weeks.
Here's hoping they don't go with the obvious Rey Mysterio feud.. Maybe Evan Bourne or John Morrison?

Mistico actually signed on... AND they're taking him out of FCW! Amazing! (Are Bourne or Morrison still with the company? And can you really picture either going heel -- in JM's case, again?)

looks like the TV ratings in Mexico will be more higher. it was 9.5 this week, compare to 6.8 from the other week.

Del Rio, Mistico = BIG Ratings (in MX)

in US, barely change a thing. still around 3.8 TV ratings sinced the Rock return.

You need PERSONALITY to be a good heel(or a good mouthpiece like Vickie Guerrero). Bourne doesn't have that. Morrison kind of does, but he seemed better character-wise when he was with Miz
