Goodness they do pick the most dreary artists at times. This lot this year and Aloe Blacc last year.

Honestly they should just get Lilian or JoJo to sing it. Or get someone interesting.

In fact I sort of wish that Bieber rumour a few years ago had been true. At least ihim appearing would be more entertaining than this shower.
Plus it could easily have led to a fun filler backstage segment where a superstar beats him up
Lilian or JoJo?

If anyone from WWE is going to sing it surely it should be Stephanie.

She has an awesome voice.

I'm just going with the obvious choice - Lilian can normally break into a patriotic anthem at a moments notice.

No arguments from me.

I feel bad though that we're overlooking Grammy Award winners The Usos (never change Lilian).

Despite how the both above may read, I do actually like Lilian. But goodness she is infamous for her announcing botches and being WWE's resident singer now Jillian is gone.

I think she does it on purpose to get back at HHH and his horse jokes.

Whether it's intentional or not, it entertains me.

One of Lilian's finest...

And one aspect of WWE that goes unmentioned in my opinion when talking about WWE's treatment of male and female talent is that all 3 of WWE's main ring announcers are female. Of course that's only a small part of the picture but you often don't hear it mentioned.

If WWE were still capable of being edgy, there's an *amazing* gimmick to be had out of Hogan's sex tape winnings. Kinda Ted Dibiase crossed with original Val Venis.
Oh God, I can't say strongly enough how amazing this would be. Hulk as a grizzled old sleeze ball using his money to get divas to hang around with him until he says something racist and the New Day beat him up. Then they could blow off the feud with Summer Rae vs Brooke for the inheritance.

I'd have to say Taker. The show's in his home state, Cena would gain no benefit from beating him as he's already the top guy in WWE, and if Cena did win, it would just give fans even more of a reason to hate on him.

People were shocked when Lesnar beat him, but eventually accepted it. Don't think some would accept Cena doing it.
Perfect way to turn in Cena in a manner that wouldn't just lead to 'smart' fans cheering him.

It would be, if WWE wanted to turn Cena. (They don't)

'Mr Excitement' Big Johnny was a guilty pleasure.
He was charismatically uncharismatic and I loved his little entourage of Otunga and Eve.

And he was a visionary.
While the people may not have embraced People Power at the time, it's no coincidence that a few years later we were able to pick whether matches would be a) Extreme Rules, b) Street Fight, c) No DQ (and our heads be the consequences).

Also is it wrong that I enjoyed that tribute video more than 90% of Raw this year?

Fifth Harmony doing the "America the Beautiful" honours at Wrestlemania this year

I don't know how much Vince is paying them but I highly doubt that they're Worth It

Which gives me a chance to post this segment from around 12 years ago from Raw...

I dread to imagine the reaction if there was a segment like that these days.

After watching that too, it makes me think we really do need to see a storyline where superstars attack the audience. In kayfabe of course.

Don't forget such gold as the Spirit Squad, Sexual Chocolate and Shelton's Mamma.

To be fair I'm not too gutted for Breeze. Frankly Miz and Cody did that whole sort of gimmick alot better. Breeze was just dare i say it dull. Obviously don't like seeing people booked badly but it's up to him really to show something to get out of that rut.
At least Spirit Squad were the perfect annoying heels you wanted to see get beat up and they weren't ruining careers, as they hadn't been 'properly' called up. Henry was so clueless back then that Sexual Chocolate actually made him entertaining.

It's bad though when they take a talent like Benjamin, Natalya and Cesaro or a old hand like Guerrero and give them complete garbage to work with. Breeze (like a few other call-up's) have mid card written all over them. Luckily for him he's just being jobbed out and not destroyed - there's some hope for him if he teams up with Miz or somebody similar.

As long as it's not Carl Lewis singing the National anthem then the WWE will be OK.

Or that DX band from WM 14.
HBK seemed to love it. He was rocking his arse off during that entrance.

I'm looking forward to New Days WM entrance as I hear they have something special planed.

HHH I guess will be Ironman/Batman, some kind of 'Man' or some silly shite this year.

I think back then HBK would admit he was an arse in WWE.

Surely it has to be Thor. It's too obvious.

Or has he done that already.

HHH will have to do a lot to beat last year's entrance. I laughed my way through the entire thing. Never one for an understated entrance is Trips.

I just hope when he inevitably does a promo this week that he doesn't take inspiration from Mr T again. He repeated 'hope' last week nearly as much as T did mother.
The promos he and Shane delivered last week were garbage bad.

Speaking of Mania, rumours are the following are not appearing on Raw tonight..

Spoiler


Not great is it?

HHH and his 20 minute promo will be there to boost the ratings.

Really? Regarding your spoiler. I thought with just 2 Raw's left they would all be there, if what you says does turn out to be true then that is pretty shocking to be honest.

Didn't they only get that because the lead singer was some relation of HHH?

In fairness to Shawn, he was probably off his tits on coke and pills.

I think they just sung DX's music and became the DX band.

Their rendition of the national anthem at WM14 is so good WWE cut it off the network version.
