I think that says a ton about the WWE's current roster depth.

Yeah surprises could have replaced them, or Brodus Clay. I actually don't mind Booker and Lawler, but Cole being in the Rumble was ridiculous til Kharma clocked him. On the other side, the WWE does have some injury problems with some stars i.e. Del Rio, Christian. Made no sense to have Taker to return at the Rumble. He may be completely done after this one.
On the one hand, I guess it's not any worse than previous years when you'd have Doink the Clown or Diesel ... but still ... you'd think ... with "two brands" ... you could get a full Rumble without filler. I agree, I don't mind Lawler and Booker ... if I thought they weren't filler.
From NoDQ:
A WWE employee texted a UFC employee during Saturday's show on FOX to say their production is terrible. The WWE employee received a text back reading, "At least we don't have an imbecilic lead announcer ruining our show."
:D :D :D
Quick wrestling question. Rock/Cena Wrestlemania. Any ideas on who comes out here and I'm asking seriously. If The Rock wins, who cares? He won't be on television and won't do anything to further the WWE. If Cena wins do the haters come out in bigger force? Thoughts/Ideas? Conversation
I honestly don't know...which is the reason why it interests me. I think Vince will finally pull the trigger on turning Cena heel, at least in the short term. This match with the Rock may enhance that turn.
Nothing will ever beat Hogan's turn.
funny?
No. Ridiculous.
PWInsider.com is reporting that the following current and former WWE Superstars will be inductors for the 2012 Hall of Fame ceremony.

A lot of sites are reporting the Miz has taken a lot of heat backstage over this botched move by not catching R Truth in a match on Raw. It kind of looks like Miz stepped out of the way at the last second. Or maybe his timing was off. I would hope Miz wouldn't do something like this on purpose.

From behind the scenes at Abu Dhabi.

Due to injury, Randy Orton was pulled from the World Heavyweight Title Elimination Chamber match at this Sunday's pay-per-view. Santino Marella will now replace Orton after winning a battle royal at tonight's SmackDown taping in Fresno, CA.

:D I agree, Poor Zack. I don't know what's funnier, the look on his face after he saw Cena and Eve kissing or Kane rolling him off the entrance stage.

so taker finally gets his wish as he successfully baited triple h into a match at wrestlemania.....on one condition. HELL IN A CELL!
unfortunately, since i've always been an undertaker fan, i think it means the streak will end and he'll retirie. :(
WWE heavyweight champion CM Punk is lashing back at Chris Brown ... claiming the singer isn't just a liar ... but a total "coward" who never truly "paid" for what he did to Rihanna.
Punk released a video statement moments ago ... in response to Brown's allegations that he's a steroid-abuser with an inadequate penis.
In his video, Punk starts out by saying he's " a proud life long drug free straight edge individual" ... and then spends the next minute BLASTING Brown.
"Chris and I come from different worlds. I don't have an assistant. I don't have a body guard. I don't have a manager or a PR person telling me to delete tweets like Chris does, and I don't hit women. Period."
He adds, "[Chris] has made the wrong accusations to the wrong person because I can defend myself."
Punk then challenges Brown to a no-holds barred fight for charity ... and says, "I will choke you out and I will make you feel as weak and as powerless and scared and alone as any woman who has the misfortune of knowing a sad cowardly little boy such as yourself."
Your move, Chris.

Honestly, why would ANYONE call out Punk? That seems like a stupid move.
John Cena Promos-2 Dwayne-0
Cena has owned him the last two weeks. Plus this
As seen on last night's RAW, John Cena pointed out that The Rock had notes written on his wrist for his promo. Several readers sent word that the following was written on Rock's wrist:
* 2 Reasons
* KRS to KPB
* Innovator-Camo
* Call out
Some think that the notes on the wrist were a work. Who knows. I love where this is going though.
Overall there are a lot of good builds to Wrestlemania between Rock/Cena, Y2J/Punk, D-Bryan/Sheamus they're actually doing something with tag teams, Big Show/Cody.
I hope that Ryder comes back and has a match with Kane, but my guess is they'll both be in MITB. I just would love to see Ryder get his first WM match.
