The interview with the champ is up. With the time I was allowed and trying to appease WWE and my editor, this is what we got.
Let me know what you think.

I feel the same about the geazers, I do, but Sting is different and you can fault me for that, whatever!
He is 0-1 in WWE history so I'm sure he will do what's best for business regardless if others do or not. Which is part of what I love about the character in the show.

Do you watch Botchamania? If you don't what's wrong with you? The endings are the best. Next is "Cena talks too much"
I'll be guest tweeting for WrestleZone tomorrow during Battleground if you all are on twitter.
I've been trying to plug that Rollins interview like crazy. Sharing it is more exhausting than the research, the interview, and writing it. It's so wild that despite being the champ, I got way more hits and reactions for interviews w/ Bryan and Reigns.
Anyways, one of the main guys at WZ is convinced that Rollins loses tomorrow but I don't think so.

Agree on Undertaker, and to an extent on Wyatt. I love Taker, but I cringe watching him wrestle. I'm afraid they're gonna kill him in the ring.
I like the Wyatt character, but it hasn't evolved and he's become the world's scariest jobber, so his words ring hollow.
However, I find Reigns to be more boring than Wyatt, but they've already established Roman's 5 moves of doom, so he's got that going for him.
I'm a Reigns fan and feel he's shown that he can put on some very good matches. He's pretty athletic for a big guy. You don't see too many big dudes jumping over the top rope.
Anyways, Wyatt stopped being interesting long ago because nothing ever came of it. He just rambled the same nonsense every promo, sucking the momentum out of a show, and then ultimately losing. They have tried multiple times to revamp him (HIAC 2014, MITB 2015) and I don't think anyone cares anymore. Bad booking is probably at fault.
As for Undertaker, I think he should have been finished after he lost to Lesnar.
When I was 30, I was too "sophisticated" for stuff like WWE. Now that I'm 56, I have to be careful not to watch too often because I find it addictive. Don't care that it's fake, those guys are talented athletes. I especially like the midget bull. Still pulling for Golddust to make it big. Still miss Paul Bearer. If Raw ever comes to Lex, count me in.
I read your interview with Rollins and really enjoyed it. Nice job. Liked his wording about the Wrestlemania cash in: "I was told by the people that I needed to be told by halfway through the show that it was going to be an option and to be ready and to be prepared so I was."
Ha.
Went and saw "Trainwreck" tonight. Saw quite a bit more of John Cena than I was prepared for, but he was funny in it. Good movie, too.
Yeah, he played that one close to the chest. Other guys have been loose with saying whatever. Reigns, Bryan, Jericho, Paige have all told stuff that the PTB probably would have preferred them not to say in our interview.
I liked some of it especially toward the end. I would have liked to have done a 20-30 minute interview but only got about 12 minutes and I understand that because he's the most in-demand guy on the roster outside of Cena.
My wife wants to see Trainwreck so I'm sure I'll see it at some point. I hope his acting was better in this than his performances in WWE films.
Morning been a while, I have been trying to retweet your interview as much as possible.
Not really sure what happens tonight which is a good thing.
Hearing a couple of different ideas being thrown around.
One Taker appears and takes out both Rollins and Lesnar.
Another maybe a couple of people from NXT come in to help Rollins.
Just speculation as long as Owens wins.
And as a Twitter friend said, "went to see Trainwreck, Cena can no longer say 'we can't see him' already saw way too much."

Agree with all of these.
Also, here's a letter from Cody Rhodes to his dad. Should have been a promo but man depressing. as hell.

I don't give two ishes about Total Divas, but....
Exactly why is it bad that the redhead chick trains with Brian Kendrick? And - aren't he and Daniel Bryan friends - and as a result shouldn't Brie be cool with Kendrick? I mean, I get that they're probably jealous, but c'mon - she's working one on one with a great worker to get better. She's probably also getting some good weed. Give her a break.

I don't agree that Cena is burying Owens. Owens beat him in his first match in WWE. Cena is helping him build a character. They have had 3 great matches. A lot of that has to do with Cena. Owens just got called up to the main roster. Owens is a great talent but he doesn't deserve to carry a title yet even a secondary one.
I didn't like the ending of BG but that was really the only way to have Rollins leave with the championship. It was a decent PPV. Not great but I have certainly seen worse.

Did I just watch grandpa beat up the beast? Yes WWE that is what I want to see.

I had fun tweeting the whole night with WrestleZone. I felt I got some zingers that may have got a few likes on the paddock. They got 200 new followers during my tweet session so they're talking about putting me on staff. Pretty cool stuff.
Anyways, when Cena made Owens tap you could just feel the collective "WTF?" groan from around the world.
I am becoming a huge Lesnar mark but I hate the way the PPV ended. Undertaker is old as shit and would get demolished by Lesnar. Stay away Taker. Sick of it.
I now think Rollins is holding the title til Mania if he doesn't drop it to HHH or some crazy stuff.

Based on the discussion I'm glad I didn't watch BG live last night. Nice thunder (& lightning) storm this morning canceled my run so I'm watching this morning (started with the tag title match). Right now the world's most over jobber to the stars is entering the ring. I'll give WWE credit - they tried to put the Diva's match over. But, personally, even though I like the NXT women, I'd equally love the return of Kharma where she came in and wiped out EVERYONE.
This is what you get with a panicked Vince in 2015.
More Cena, or pushing out a man who could literally crumble into a pile of dust at any moment.
Either Brock beats Taker, again, which does nothing for anyone, or Taker gets his win back for absolutely no reason because he will disappear until WM.
If Owens was going to lose, at least have him pass out instead of tap. Now, Cena/Owens is basically every other Cena feud, i.e. Rusev, Wyatt, etc. etc. of the last few years. Give the opponent one win, but Cena overcomes the odds..again.
At least my Sasha is finally bossing up the women's division.

Naomi and Tamina turn on Sasha yet?
How short is new announcer?
Love Wyatt Family reunion. Bring back Rowan, then add Bo.

This pretty much sums the wrestling worlds reaction to the Owens/Cena finish.

So funny. The two fan bases couldn't be more night and day.
As for last night, the U.S. title and the divas triple threat match were the only ones I enjoyed.
You guys?
I thought overall it was a decent show. Just too many crap endings. The end of the WHC match especially. I was watching it on my iPad and kept waiting for Rollins to come in and pin Lesnar. Then nothing.
I understanding wanting the show to end with UT's music and stuff, but it made the end odd.

I actually freakin' love the US Open Challenge segments every Raw. It's often been the best segment AND match every Monday. So I was perfectly okay with Cena going over. I just don't think creative had one damn plan for Owens had he won the belt OR (more importantly to Creative) what to do with Cena if he lost. I originally picked Owens to go over as an icer for Rollins going over in the main. I'm actually glad Cena went over just to keep that segment/feud moving.
Guys that have IT will get/stay over...no matter what creative puts in front of them. Owens has IT.

Rack Corey!
Are we getting a Wyatt/Shield feud that never fully played out before?
Bray could be a credible guy win or lose as the get in your head until you overcome and catapult to world title status. But the problem really starts when he has put all those guys over and they need him to once again feud with someone as champ. Then the failure to never have him win will be glaring.
