I cannot stress the "opinionated" part enough.

5. Punk Pipe-Bomb Heard Round The World
Everyone should remember this for years to come. Punk's shoot on the McMahons, John Cena, and The Rock catapaulted him into the main event of Money in the Bank, where he won the WWE Championship, and "left" for two weeks. This was my personal favorite rivalry between Punk & Cena in 2011, an I like what I see with their ressurected rivaly now.

4. The Legacy Systematically "Destroying" The McMahons
This rivalry was just plain AWESOME! It all had to do with Orton's obsession with the WWE Championship. McMahon was seconds away from firing Orton, and he "snapped", as he punted McMahon in the skull. He would then take out various members of the family (Shane & Stephanie). This match was extremely personal, and I loved everything about the buildup. Sadly, their match at WM25 was a dud.

3. Shawn or Triple H Can't Bury The Deadman
This is a two part (or three part) selection. From WM 25-28, both members of DX were intent on ending the uundefeated streak of The Undertaker. I loved all four promos to the matches, and all four matches were greatly executed. I would say that Triple H's/Takers WM28 match was the best, because of HBK thrown into the mix as the referee.

2. Rated R vs. SuperCena
These two had a very long rivalry, culminating at Unforgiven (I want to say 2006). Edge had defeated Cena at SummerSlam in Cena's hometown the previous ppv, and these two were set to square off one more time at Unforgiven, in Edge's hometown, in Edge's match: Tables, Ladders, & Chairs. While Cena eventually won the Title back, and ended the rivalry (meh), I always thought their rivalry was a gem.

1. Straight Edge Is Better Than Everyone Else
I couldn't think of a better title for this one, haha. But a few years back at Extreme Rules (2009?) Jeff Hardy finally won the World Heavyweight Championship against Edge in a Ladder Match. Minutes after, CM Punk would cash in his MITB contract that he had won at Mania. While this made him a tweener at the time, after Hardy won the title back at Night of Champions (correct me if I'm wrong), Punk's heel turn was inevitable. Punk would later critisize Hardy for being a drug addict, and that Punk was better than Hardy. The two would face off at SummerSlam 09 in a TLC Match, where Punk won the gold back, and eventually would win a Steel Cage Match, which resulted in Hardy's departure from the WWE. This is by far my favorite rivalry in the PG Era. These two had great in ring chemistry, and I loved the promos.

There you have it folks. My top 5 most personal rivalries of the PG Era in the WWE. As always, leave feedback, and as Mick Foley says, "Have A Nice Day." :) ]]> Rob Stull http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?43614-WWE-s-Best-Rivalries-in-the-PG-Era <![CDATA[WWE's Most Underused & Underutilized Talents...]]> http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?43581-WWE-s-Most-Underused-amp-Underutilized-Talents Thu, 30 Aug 2012 17:12:04 GMT
Hello all, Rob here once again, and in this blog, I am going to be listing some of the MANY talents that the WWE missuses (when they're even used at all).

Jack Swagger
Now, I'm going to start off my list with The All American American. It's hard to believe that this guy had a World Championship run. But, once the WHC was dropped from Swagger, his carrer in the E went sraight down the toilet. I assume that he will NEVER be in the main event card in his career with the E, but I think that he has the in ring ability, and the heel charisma to become a solid mid card talent, IF the E can book him well.

Zack Ryder
Woo Woo Woo! You..........yawn!!!!!! Haha, let me first off say that I hate Ryder. I respect that he got himself noticed in the E with his YouTube show, but this kid is just so boring. The "Jersey Shore" gimmick is so stupid. But, this kid was heavilly pushed at the beginning of the year, winning the United States Championship, actually getting airtime, and winning matches, and pay per view matches! But, he was another talent that McMahon pissed on, and put him in a "feud" with Kane, where he was made to look an absolute joke. From then on, he took time off tv appearences, dropped the title, and recieved little commission for his merch sales.

Santino Marella
My brother: "Hey, did you see Santino won the US Championship?"
Myself: "He won't do a damn thing with it."
Turns out I was correct. There are so many things wrong with Santino's gimmick, it baffles me that the E let him hold onto not only the US Championship, but the Intercontinental Championship as well. This is one of the few talents that I actually want to leave the E. Moving along....

William Regal
Probably, one of the most gifted wrestlers on the list, Regal's last memory as a semi-big part of the WWE was the on screen general manager a few years back. This man is extremely entertaining, he has great mic skills, and is flawless in the ring. Can someone please tell me what he did to piss McMahon off? I mean, for christs sake, he kissed the man's ass and isn't even used right, haha.

Entire Tag Team Division
Didn't think I would not talk about this? The tag team division has sucked for the better part of a decade, and I'm not going to lie, I thought that there was a glimmer of hope with the Prime Time Playas. But, after the E fired AW, I think it is over for those guys. But, the E needs more tag teams other than Kofi & Truth, PTP, The Usos, Gabriel & Kidd, & The Primos. I say, take some young talents from developemental, and throw them into the mix. Then it'd get a little interesting.

Entire Diva's Division
Another no brainer. This division is dead, and will remain dead, because in the eyes of McMahon and Trips, "Divas don't equal ratings, and sales." While this is true, enhancing the diva's divison will be a small improvement, and people will take notice. The more people take notice, the more ratings. I know that sounds like a far-fetched idea, but hey, it's worth a shot. Right?

Sheamus
I know what you're thinking, "But, he's the World Heavyweight Champion. How are they misusing him?" Hmm, opening matchup at Mania, boring storylines all year long, two to three repeats with the god awful Alberto Del Rio, and just overall, Sheamus is a boring face. Turn him heel again, and he can be used a lot better. Just look at his WWE Championship run.

Christian
This will be my final wrestler, but god. Where do I begin? Oh year, having Christian drop the WHC a week after he won it at Extreme Rules was a spit in his face, and to all of his peeps. His heel run was a joke, and after he returned from injury, he has done nothing, except hold onto the IC Championship for a while. Now that he dropped that title, he's back to jobber status. Christian, if you read this, just quit the E, and go back to TNA!!!!

Like I said earlier, there are MANY MANY more talents that the E misuses, but those on my list, are imo, the most misused. As always, leave feedback, and thanks for reading!!!! Oh, and comment on some blog ideas that you would like to see me write about. I love writing, but I lack creativity. I guess I am kind of like the WWE writers. BAZINGA!!! Haha, but I would really like some feedback on some future blogs you'd all like to see.

Now that the most (arguably) lackluster SummerSlam has come and gone, I think that I will talk about my top four moments in the history of the illustrious event.

SummerSlam 2002: Brock Brings the Pain!!!
Brock Lesnar AKA "The Next Big Thing" was well on his way to fulfilling that nickname when he was set to meet The Rock, and square off for the WWE Championship. At King of the Ring back in 02, Brock defeated Rob Van Dam to win the KOTR, and the winner went off to the SS main event. After, a devastatingly violent match, and after surviving a Rock Bottom, Brock pinned Rocky to become the youngest WWE Champion in history.

SummerSlam 2009: Straight Edge Triumphs!!!
Now, personally for me, this is my favorite moment in SS history, because Punk and Hardy are my two favorite wrestlers. These two had one of the most memorable, and personal rivalries in recent memory. After Punk cashed in his MITB contract on Hardy at Extreme Rules, Punk turned full on heel after attacking Hardy after Hardy won the WHC back at NoC. The two squared off in a TLC Match, and boy did this match live up to expectation! It was the only reason I ordered the PPV. And, as you can guess by the name of the title, Punk won the matchup, and then The Undertaker returned as Punk celebrated!!! MARK OUT MOMENT!!!

SummerSlam 2008: The Undertaker Sends Edge to Hell!!!
In 2008, Undertaker and Edge had a pretty amazing rivalry which started at WrestleMania 24, when Taker won the WHC from Edge. Needless to say, Edge was obsessive with winning that Championship back. At Extreme Rules, the WHC was vacated, and Taker and Edge squared off in a TLC Match, where if Taker lost, he would be "banished from the WWE." Surely, Edge won, and Taker took some time off. Well, the storyline (won't go into detail) concluded that Taker would return to face Edge inside HIAC. And this is one of the more exciting HIAC matches in the PG Era. After Taker won the match, he got on to of a ladder, and Chokeslammed Edge through the ring, or "To Hell" if you please, lol.

SummerSlam 1995 HBK vs. Ramon Rematch
After these two squared off at Mania earlier in the year, and put the Ladder Match on the map, these two faced off again in a ladder match for the once relevant Intercontinental Championship, that was thought, couldn't top the Mania Ladder Match. And, these two proved wrong. This was such an amazing match, and HBK would come out on top, winning the prestigious IC Belt.

There you have it all. First off, let me say that I know that there are dozens and dozens of more memorable moments, but these are some of my favorite. So criticize me if you will, but these are my top four moments. Please leave feedback on how I did for my first blog, and have a good one!!! ]]> Rob Stull http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?43577-Rob-s-Top-4-Moments-in-SummerSlam-History
