Is WWE going to try to make Santino a legitimate contender for a major title?

I hope not but I am starting to wonder.  I think he is fine as a comedy guy and people like him, but that doesn't mean they see him as a credible wrestler.  I hope his UT Title reign is short-lived.

Is it just me or has Robbie E. not been on TNA much. He is the TNA Television Champion. Has he done something to make TNA upset with him that they won't put him on TNA impact? He is starting to become the forgotten champion in TNA.

Let's be real here, the TV Title doesn't mean a whole lot.  And Robbie E is a midcard guy at this point, nothing more.  Since his dad isn't Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo, who likes the topical stuff, is no longer there, it probably doesn't bode all that well for him.

Did they really manage to make The Rock boring?? How can you do that? Is this even possible?? The last 2 RAWs (The one with the "wrist promo" and the one with 'The Rock's history lessons') made the Rock sound boring. They even made the Rock make fun of the merchandise of their number one selling star! How do you get away with that without losing money? Don't they realize people might listen and stop to buy Cena t-shirts for their kids and all? In the last 2 RAWs, The Rock was doing promo (the usual catchphrases and all), and then, Cena came and cut him off with the wrist thing, and he seemed not to know what to do, even mouthing 'mother****er' in the end, and this week, when the audience was screaming 'Tooth Fairy', he didn't seem to know how to deal with it... Oh, and if one of them says the word "bitch" one more time, I'll change the channel. It's not part of any of their vocabulary, they have tons of catchphrases and great insults, and using "bitch" sounds too easy, making them look cheap. What's your opinion on that? Once again, great website and regards from cold Finland!

WWE is looking at Rock as someone who can give the rub to John Cena.  Like you said, they have booked him in such a way to make Cena seem better.  I get why they are doing it, since Cena is their full time guy, but the plan was also to get fans who have tuned out WWE to come back and those fans want to see The Rock that they remember from the past.  I am with you.  Send both guys out there with good stuff and force Cena to elevate him game.  He can do it, just make him.

What would you think of a “Best of Five” or “Best of Seven” series between Punk and Bryan…with the Unified Title on the line? Are Series Matches even possible in the current WWE climate?

As long as the matches were treated as important instead of a backdrop for the Teddy Long-Johnny Ace feud, I would love it.  But, I don't see it happening since WWE isn't big on giving guys a lot of time to have pure wrestling matches.  I wish that they were.

I just finished watching RAW and can’t understand one thing. Why does John Cena have that stupid smile on his face even when it’s time to be serious? The Rock is being dead serious with his promo but Cena has that stupid smirk. Does WWE not realize that people hate Cena because he acts like a dork? The Rock comes off so believable but Cena just comes off as someone who is not in his league.

I hate that too, I really do.  When someone says they are going to rip out your throat and you smirk, you KILL the heat and believability of the angle.  Cena does that way too often.  He really needs to treat those kinds of moments as being important, because they are.
