I also liked the Star Dust transformation of Cody Rhodes. Hope it leads to rejuvenating his team with Goldust.

Hopefully Goldust and Stardust last a while as a team.

But I've a feeling Stardust goes heel and attacks Goldust.  Maybe a match at SummerSlam or the September ppv.

I'd prefer they both went heel but I have a feeling that when the Wyatts win the tag titles, they will be the babyface challengers for them in relatively short order...

I think one of my favourite elements of wrestling was always those who were the most entertaining talkers on the microphone. Love the classic amped up wild characters of wrestling's past.

There were things I liked and didn't like about wrestling the past week. Just my thoughts on it:

The match of the week and best show I felt once again was NXT. Match I'm talking about was Rob Van Dam vs. Adrian Neville. I love NXT. Almost every week, it's just a great and highly entertaining wrestling show. Love the new tag team the Vaudevillains  :thumbup:

The Vaudevillains vs. Angelo Dawkins & Travis Tyler: WWE NXT, June 19, 2014

Also dug Bull Dempsey and Enzo Amore & Big Cass.

There were some solid matches on Raw and Smackdown too the last week although Smackdown was the better show overall in terms of wrestling. Still good matches included  from Raw Bad News Barrett vs. Dolph Ziggler, RVD vs. Seth Rollins & Jack Swagger vs. Kofi. On Smackdown, Sheamus had a decent brawl with Bray Wyatt and there was a pretty solid tag team match between RVD & Ziggler vs. Cesaro & Alberto Del Rio. Like what they've been doing lately with Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns too and the Wyatts too. TNA wasn't a very good show at all - way too angle-oriented with not enough quality matches although 3 of them were fairly solid efforts especially the wild match between Abyss & Willow vs. Magnus & Bram.

Thumbs up to the following grapplers:

The Wyatt Family
Dean Ambrose (this guy is on fire right now and could become huge if pushed right)
Seth Rollins (Same applies to Rollins)
Roman Reigns (already on his way but not a great talker)
Alberto Del Rio (looked better than he has in a while this week)
Sheamus (kind of bores me but had some decent matches)
Magnus & Bram (good fire in the Monster's Ball match)
Dolph Ziggler (although I feel his gimmick has stagnated - he needs something new, a change)
Cesaro (underrated, could do even more)
Goldust & Stardust (lots of potential here and Goldust is looking golden on interviews again)
The Vaudevillains (love this concept)
Adrian Neville (what a fantastic match yet again)
Rob Van Dam (so many great efforts all week even if he lost, helping build other talent)
Bull Dempsey (like his look, he's different)
Gail Kim (looked good and is clearly the best TNA Knockout)
Bad News Barrett (too bad he got injured, he was really on fire right now)
Jack Swagger with Zeb Colter (Swagger looked good this week, too bad he got a bit carried away and perhaps careless)
Bo Dallas (Bo is good)
Usos (Usos bring good energy)
Triple H (Triple H sold Rollins and Orton quite well)

Thumbs Down to the following:

Stephanie McMahon (Hated the pudding match and the whole firing angle)
Vickie Guerrero
Fandango (this with Layla and Summer has dragged on far too long)
Layla
Summer Rae
Big E (the guy is boring and sadly so is Rusev)
Rusev with Lana
Damien Sandow (he must have p**sed in the wrong person's corn flakes obviously)
Titus O'Neill (boring)
Randy Orton (still boring even with Triple H trying to sell him)
Kane (boring, wish he wasn't but he is)
Rybaxel
TNA segments (stick to in-ring wrestling TNA)

CZW, in general, reminds me of a quote from a Mick Foley promo some short time before his excellent match with Orton at Backlash 2004.

"The word 'hardcore' really had nothing to do with chairs. It really had nothing to do with tables, garbage cans, cookie sheets ... the word 'hardcore' signified that I loved the fans enough to put my body through unimaginable pain."

Hmm, ranking the top wrestling talkers, here's my number 50: Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. Entertaining for perhaps all the wrong reasons...

Terry Funk said something similar, as well.

Someone explain to me just why Cena needed another WWE World Heavyweight title run? Twelve is a bit much, he's no Flair.  :hatred:

JaseSF

It's actually 15 WWE and World titles...just one shy of Flair's record.
