Sal, give me a guy who is ready to be elevated, can work a match at the quality the streak matches have been expected to be worked at, and doesn't have another road they are on track for heading to Mania.
You just compared Sheamus to Luke Walton? LUKE WALTON? LUKE WALTON!?!?!For the same people who talk about how super over Sheamus is, The reaction for the implicated Taker/HHH showdown was what made the show. It beat every reaction on an intensity scale, out of the whole damn show. And now people want to complain B/C they were out of their minds thinking the WWE was going to give Sheamus, the Taker match. Taker is going 20-0, and the steak will be broken next year.
And the person who will get to beat the streak, will be the wrestler the WWE is banking their future on.
People pay to see Rock, HHH, Taker, Cena, Orton, and Punk. No one desides to pay money to see a milk white, red haird, smiling big pandering ass Sheamus.
It's like going to a Lakers game and hearing the fans go wild for Luke Walton. They like him as a part of the show, but they pay to see Kobe. Reactions can be as much attriubuted to many things, like cheering a person for a certain role. Like Ricardo at the RR. Or Santino, or hell, Jim Duggen who got the loudest reaction at the RR.
Wake the hell up people.
I thought King was planting the seeds for him and Cody personally before Cole fucked up with the whole tlak about those two being in Evolution together. King just stopped like what the fuck is this idiot on or reading.I'm starting to wonder if Orton's even going to have a match at Mania :
At this point, if anything it seems he'll be the curtain jerker.

Cody v. Orton would be bad.I thought King was planting the seeds for him and Cody personally before Cole fucked up with the whole tlak about those two being in Evolution together. King just stopped like what the fuck is this idiot on or reading.

Orton already beat him AND DiBiase in a handicap match at Mania 26.... but as long as it's 1-on-1, Cody has more of a chance? :
That's worse than the Trips/Taker III booking.
You're actually stating the problem. They could have made an effort to have someone ready for this match, but instead you have the Barretts and the Zigglers of the world losing over and over again to the Randy Ortons of the world. The guys I'd legitimately put in the match over HHH right now?
1. Sheamus
2. Ziggler
3. Barrett
4. Jericho (for no reason other than I'm sick of HHH)
And only Sheamus is ready for the spot because they've been pushing him like god. Any of the top three guys on that list could easily be in position for a career-making spot losing to Taker. Just being in the spot is enough. And please, spare me the Wade Barrett workrate talk. They don't need to put on a mat classic. Barrett can work his way through a 20 minute slow-paced match with Taker.
I don't even know what to say to that, and I like Luke. It was just out there. Hell he could have picked Pau for a better comparisonMy brain is still stuck on him bringing up Luke Walton with wrestling.
Valid point, but that handicap match was only 2 years ago.Cody's considerably more credible than he was then, and it's kayfabe feasible that he improved in the ring enough to go 1-on-1 with Orton. That, and he pretty much went even with Orton a few months ago. Orton would've been crushed by HHH in 2002-03, after all.
I went Steven A Smith crazy over here when I saw it. You're the biggest Lakers fan I know and know that even you wouldn't have said some insane shit like that.I don't even know what to say to that, and I like Luke. It was just out there. Hell he could have picked Pau for a better comparison
