I think it was Q magazine who said it was the only guitar album of the 90s that sounded like the future. That is a stretch, but it's not far off.

I remember when Jey won the Rumble people rushing to defend the idea he should main event Wrestlemania. Meanwhile, even WWE knew all along his "Main Event" gimmick is a rib.

Punk's quest to main event Mania could have been a big story in next years road to Wrestlemania but you can't re-tell that story now, just for the sake of being a minor plot point in a muddy, tepid three-way story.

This call causes multiple problems. It means neither Rumble winner gets a main event. It means "Main Event" Jey Uso is once again midcard. It means no women headliners again. It burns the story of Punk finally headlining Mania for a secondary spot.

They keep talking about cards. Sometimes it's the cards that win the game, but usually it's the player.
