- Zenni was the one I went with. -- nm - Krusty Oct 10, 12:35
- Pair -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 10, 12:30

        I'm sort of in a middle ground. I didn't like it, but Raimi wasn't the problem. -- nm - Reagen Oct 10, 12:52
        
        Who'll they get next? Parker Finn? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 10, 12:44 1
        
        Since he didn't do any Xena stories, no. -- nm - David Oct 10, 12:50
        
        I... Just... No. There was so much wrong with it that "good" doesn't even enter the picture. -- nm - TWuG Oct 10, 12:42 3

        I mean, nothing else about WWE has improved since HHH took over. So, why would this? -- nm - David Oct 10, 12:28 1
        
        I mean who thought bring Candice LaRae to the main roster is a good idea? - Remlik Oct 10, 12:56
      - With I.R.S - eag Oct 10, 12:10
  - They really did give Bray whatever he wanted. -- nm - David Oct 10, 12:01 1
