Sheamus is awesome, his character is just so bland.

yeah, I always thought it'd be cool if they team him and Barrett up under the tandem 'drinking buddies'
sorta a modern day APA but with good cop/bad cop type humor
Sheamus is always joking about and Barrett's at his wits end.

All I know is Brock took apart Cena like we have never seen before...........The rematch will be no different because to put it mildly Cena from a technical standpoint is not as good. Brock due to his back ground is a multi style fighter.

Urban Hat€monger ?

NXT is by far the best TV show put out by WWE at the moment. Even the women are watchable, The match between Sasha Banks vs Bayley last night is better than anything anything I've seen on Raw or Smackdown by any of the divas in years. And it wasn't even that great, It was just a good well executed match that did what it was supposed to.

Looking forward to seeing the fatal fourway with Neville vs Breeze vs Kidd vs Zayn at NXT Takeover next month.

Why they don't have NXT matches on the smaller PPVs like Backlash or Armageddon I'll never know especially when they're putting guys out there who have been on these shows for 10/15 years plus.
People are literally crying out for new blood.

NXT isn't run purely for the sake of business, so that's probably it. SmackDown, and somewhat more recently (Since about '06 or '07 I think) RAW have been trying to be more family-friendly again, as they were before the Attitude Era.

I've considered getting The Network, since I think Cena turning heel might be kind of interesting and it kind of seems like that's where they're headed. We'll have to see though.

Cena ain't turning anywhere.

The Network is completely worth it if you are interested even slightly in the current product, but even more so if you are generally just a wrestling fan.

I'm sure most people thought the same thing about Hogan for years. No one's above playing heel, though. Not Hogan. Even Stone Cold was a heel for a while. The Rock was a great heel as well, so I wouldn't put it past them to do that with Cena. Like Hogan in '96, there are a lot of people who hate Cena just because he's too clean, he's the #1 guy in the business and basically always wins.

You might be right, but it'd be entertaining to watch.

Hogan turned within a year of being booed regularly. Cena has been the heel (playing a babyface character) for about seven years at least, so I just don't see him making his character a bad guy any time soon.

Maybe if his film career () ever kicks off.

Hogan was always booed. The decision to wait until Bash At The Beach was strategic because southern fans were the most likely to take his heel-turn terribly. Having him double-cross the WCW and then talk down to the fans was a stroke of genius, and the result was the most iconic heel-turn in the history of wrestling. Cena could do better, since he's the most "over" wrestler in a business that is much larger than it was in '96.

Like I said, I would pay the 9.99 a month just to see something like that, and the major storyline that would follow.

It was fresher back in the day because we weren't sick of reality TV. Everything about wrestling back then was based on reality TV. The cinematography, the scripts, the fact that they were fighting out in the streets and with more violence.

I loved wrestling from '96 to about 2001. We kind of got a big stick up our asses about that kind of stuff after 9/11.
