My big hope for 2023 is the return of Big E, and that he gets to be in the main event picture

I'm here to eat muffins and air petty grievances.

And I'm all out of muffins.

Plane got cancelled after sitting in the plane for 4 hours, just to be told our pilot had timed out.  5 or 6 planes worth of people trying to rebook at 3 am with all the departing travelers trying to make thier flight.  No clue where my bags are, and Legit thought a riot was gonna break out.

I'm not meteorologist but I can smell a shiat storm coming.  Looked at my boy and said we need to GTFO now.  Grabbed a rental car and did the cannon ball run in a day and a half back home in time for a delayed Christmas.

From the looks of it it was the best choice.  Southwest is cancelling like 80% of all flights for the foreseeable future for who knows what reason.

Yeah well there's a 33 and a 1/3 chance that the situation isn't improving with all the people already in place trying to fly back home for Christmas

Not planning on watching the Raw Clip Show, but the thread topic sounds fun. Going off the top of my head so I'm probably forgetting some obvious answers, but...

Best Matches:
-Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins... give me the Wrestlemania match over the HIAC, personally
-Sheamus vs WALTER... their match at Clash at the Castle was fantastic
-Ricochet vs Carmelo Hayes... gotta give NXT some love and this was just a fast paced blast
-Will give some credit to Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns for just being a fun, stupid fight as well

Best Angle/Storyline:
-Everything with The Bloodline and Sami Zayn, and it's not even close

Worst Match:
-Rhonda vs Shotzi jumps straight into mind

Worst Angle/Storyline:
-The Liv Morgan/Rhonda Rousey stuff was really bad

Most Improved:
-Angelo Dawkins
-Would've said Mandy Rose but it doesn't really matter any more
-Good to see the Viking Raiders back to their old selves again

Things to improve on:
-Pacing... some of these storylines (ESPECIALLY with newly returned people) drag on for way too long and lose all momentum

Things I want to see in 2023:
-A Sami Zayn title shot... he almost certainly won't win, but it'd be amazing if he did
-Bianca Belair vs Rhea Ripley... hard to believe we've never really seen these two work a program together.
-Split the titles... both the world titles and tag titles need to be split across both shows
-WALTER gets a title shot... he's a beast and would be an amazing heel challenger
-Big E returns! Think that one is pretty unanimous.
-The Revival return to WWE (might happen?)
-William Regal back on NXT TV
-As always, how about a Johnny Gargano push?

They might not be The New Day but there are a good 2nd choice to kick things off:

That's actually a decent list. I saw something were the plans for WM "at the moment" had Seth vs Cody for the WWE title on Night 1 & Night 2 would be Roman vs The Rock, but if Dwyane can't make it, then the winner of Seth vs Cody on Night 2. How they get the WWE title off Roman for that is still up in the air.
 
2022-12-26 8:23:11 PM  
I think getting Dwayne to show for Mania is more likely than people think, given his power play at WB/DC blew up in his face

I'm gonna keep my picks for tonight's thread to just WWE, the AEW diehards can do all of that stuff on Wednesday.

Best Match:
Sheamus-Gunther - maaaaan did those two just bludgeon the bloody hell out of each other in the best possible way

Worst match:
That Rhonda-Shotzi debacle is a strong candidate here. Anybody think of a worse one?

Best angle:
Since Cody's injury derailed pretty much the only possible alternative, I guess I'm forced to go with the Bloodline here even though I'm bored to death with it. Are there even any other storylines going right now?

Worst "angle":
The continued aimless drifting around the midcard of the Judgment Day - they have feud after feud without a clearcut winner or any real end to them.

Hopes for the new year:
-#30 counts down at the Rumble and we hear "Ya'll ready to go big?!?!"  Big E is healthy and back, and he's a world champion again
-The world and tag titles get split back up. Them being entirely invisible in order to make Dwayne's family feel good is absurd
-WALTER world title push. He's amazing and gives an air of legitimacy to everything he's involved in.
-Some sort of character development for Bianca. She's great in the ring, but her current character has all the charisma of stale naan, and pairing that with her "Lady Cena" booking will eventually sour the crowd through no fault of her own
-Get to the farking point with Bray, already
 
2022-12-26 8:28:39 PM  
Only in AEW would a tractor lifting the ring be a transition spot.

I'm not against them doing Roman vs The Rock but I hope they realize a match that big doesn't need to be for a title.

He could end up being an all-time great in-ring, and I'm not going to see it. I know that me boycotting him isn't going to make a dent, but he's a shiatty person and I'm exhausted of the aspect of American culture that make his ilk wealthy by giving them all the attention they crave, so I'm not going to participate.
