    What should they do that hasn't been done in some capacity before? What can any wrestler do that hasnt been done before at this point?

    You said teleportation. Oops Undertaker did that all the time.

      They can ride unicyles to the ring.

            Oh they advertised the Barrett title change on WWE.com?

            I guess it's real good that I don't visit their website.

              I enjoyed the show as a whole, WWE needs more Ricardooooooo Rrrrrrodrrrrriguez.

              I think they missed a trick not having Del Rio ring announce for him.

              Incidentally, I thought Del Rio's segment where he wished Ricardo luck was very well done and slightly touching, which is a rare thing in wrestling. It was well done, and Alberto fits the valiant, energetic face role well, he just needs management to put faith in him and for a bit more depth to be added to his character.

                Yeah, I was hoping Del Rio would come out and announce for him as well. Would have been a great moment. I'm surprised at how good Del Rio is as a face. But, it kind of makes sense. WWE has no idea how to make a good face anymore (Team Hell No being the exceptions). If anyone has any mic skills at all (Cena, Miz, Sheamus), they give them super corny dialogue. Lucky for Alberto, he doesn't have that problem and is the man in the ring. I liked Del Rio's superkick to a grounded Big Show. He needs a non-submission finisher (has for awhile) and that would be an awesome one. I was one of the few who liked him as a heel (I think just me and Matrix), and I actually like him as a face as well. Props to Del Rio for making it work. The arrogant, rich, foreigner is Heel 101 stuff, yet he's getting his pops.

                Was anyone else thinking at the begging of the show that Miz and Cena are former tag champions and wondering why it was never mentioned? I thought it was weird since Cole was going on and on about how unorthodox it is for them to be teaming up.

                  I think Del Rio could be a very good face. Although I think he should flesh out his own character some more. Seems like whatever the writing team touches turns to cheese.

                  I disagree, they should have Ricardo ring announce himself. Kind of like Mr. Kennedy.

                    I'm sure the grounded super kick is one of Rollins' finishers.

                    ADR has won matches with the Enzugiri before but you're right, he's a strong guy who needs to add a high-impact move to his repertoire.

                      Uhhh, probably because they were rivals at the time and held it for an hour before losing them to Slater and Gabriel. They won them in Feburary of 2011, a month before their Wrestlemania match.

                        I know those were the only two things I really liked from the show but i've come to terms with the fact that things are going to have to be repeated, not EVERYTHING can be new. I just take it as if they execute it well and it gets me to feel or react with some kind of emotion, then its good in my book - I try not to think something is bad or dumb just because it's been done before, because how many things can you REALLY do in wrestling.

                        The Mae Young thing is an exception cause that was not entertaining to me at all, just something to make the kids laugh maybe...idk.

                          A moonsault with 4 rotations.

                          Yup. Signature/set up move.

                            He's been using shiranui and the curb stomp (set up by the bucklebomb). I was hoping he would still use the low level superkick, granted I'd still like to see him use god's last gift, but I understand why they don't let him use it.

                            I'm curious to see what they have him use as a finisher, same as Ambrose who had the knee trembler, midnight special, and the regal stretch.

                                I meant god's last gift...because it's a little more riskier of a move, he's used it only twice in FCW, it was a move that fit better in ROH, like the pepsi plunge.
