I'd rate Shelton if he had a personality. At present he's like about a dozen other good young talents with no real character. Orton, at least, has some semblance of personality. I agree, he'd make a better heel than face, but let's face it- as I said- they have no faces on Raw atm.

I prefered Kane with the mask, but he's ugly enough without it to be intimidating.

If I had to pick someone to take on the Austin persona (bad ass), I'd probably go with it being Batista or Edge (with a turn). They're both good brawlers. You can't do Stone Cold with a guy who has heaps of real ability (Orton) or good looks (also Orton).

I like Orton as a Face, hes a better heel..But they still need to give him more time to develop into a huge face character. He might just need that one big catchphrase.
The Rock had " If ya smell..........etc "
Austin had "And thats the bottom line ........etc "

Maybe Orton just needs that one big Catchpharse.

Pretty good show, first i've seen in a while and i was impressed. 'New Years Revolution' looks pretty promising, hopefully the winner is not as predictable as what has been suggested! BRING ON WRESTLEMANIA! :clap:

I dont like kane being a goodie and no mask, if he gets his mask back and is bad again that will be so good. Edge is tops thats what i reckon and he can become even better if he gets the belt which i think should happen. Lol with the iraw guy deadset like you say driver someone will end up shooting him. With the royal rumble to me the last 3 or 4 years its been pretty crappy it needs to go back to the days when it was interesting and not a waste of time. Also on the wrestlers themselves i mean not every wrestler is well known as it used to be even the small time wrestlers before were well known and it was great to watch them.

i can see this Hassan guy being shot.....

sometimes the WWE take things too far

Compared to some of the WWE's past angles, I thought they handled it pretty well. The only thing I flinched at was him saying the US soldiers were 'gutless'. It's one thing to make a valid point about being a prisoner in his own country, and to say the war is wrong- it's entirely different to accuse American soldiers of being gutless infidels.

agreed
that was way over the mark
weather your for or against the war in iraq, im sure all would agree that the soldiers serving in Iraq are anything but 'gutless'

I have a cousin in the air force special forces who was over there for some time, and was involved in a lot of key actions. So I know, even if I don't agree with the war, that the soldiers are far from gutless. They're doing what they're told.

last couple rumbles have been good, not great but they were entertaining.

i dont know anyone who thought the 2004 rumble was boring...when me and my friends watched it, all up 8 guys..3 think wrestling is boring...after the rumble 7 of the 8 come over every week to watch raw and smackdown.

the wwe has to get away from the number 1 entry wining the rumble for a few seasons..

As for mohamed hussian, i feel sorry for the guy..he wont last and even though he has great mic skills his charracter is just gonna end up like La Resistance who get some air time then became stale and basically see the end.

Where did this Mohammed Hassan guy come from? Did he operate under a different name in the lower levels?

i.e. Prototype - John Cena
Carlos Colon- Carlito Caribbean Cool

He has a great gimmick though.
WWE has really put some good promos on him and if hes good in the ring, he might head for WWE title status before the end of next year.

Assuming they don't kill him by making him too stereotyped and getting him shot. :p
