Gotta say that HHH/Taker promo was LAME.

Taker comes out after the big countdown for the past month, gets his usual Deadman shit on and then we get... Triple H.

Not as big of a deal as it would have been months or even years ago.

Now we get two old warhorses going out for what might be the last time and it feels more like what TNA is as a whole now...

Old names looking to get one more shot in the spotlight based off of Taker's Undefeated Streak while we could see new faces making a name for themselves.

I get that HHH might come out and say that he's doing it for Shawn but I for one just don't care.

We have no resolution with Sheamus putting Triple H out on the shelf (I get that Pro Wrestling has amnesia like a motherfucker but come on) and we see King Ginger fighting the likes of fucking Mark Henry in a feud that should have ended weeks ago.

...and now I see that Henry is beating a former World Champion and the guy who put out HHH.

Henry won't get shit out of this and Sheamus looks like a fucking bum.

AGAIN.

Wrestling's Mr. Blue Collar himself is going into Uncle Vince's Hall of Fame.

You can have Michaels because the very first Royal Rumble winner is going in.

Damn, I can't believe they let Cole bring up Jerry's mother.

lmao Cole plays such a perfect bitch.

I guarantee either Miz sends Riley out to save Cole's ass but fucks it up OR...

King goes out like a bitch.

I DEMAND the return of the "Kiss My Foot" Match!

[JayDizzle]

And...

Miz and Cena just buried "The Corre" by beating their Tag Champs.

...and Team Not-Nexus just invoked their rematch clause.

When Uncle Vince made Cole bring up "The Rock and Sock Connection," I KNEW Miz and Cena were going to win.

Just put the belts in a box and drop it in the ocean because nobody cares about belts in the U.S. anymore.

EDIT: Good to see Miz can add another tag team championship to his list AND made Cena look like an ass.

The Corre gets their belts back but you just lost 15-20 minutes of your life that you'll never get back.

That was probably one of the WORST RAWs ever. All that build up for nothing. Dizzle hit it on the head with months of build up to be stolen by HHH.

[Warner2BruceTD]

ROH had Christopher Daniels vs. DEVON STORM and I nearly shit myself. HUGE Devin Storm mark.

He looked pretty good for a guy who works part time these days. Commentators really put him over.

[EmpireWF]

The HHH/Taker, non-talking, jerk-off fest was horribly done.

Such a blatant rushed angle to try and kick off the build to Mania.

Could have been handled so much better (forget the 2/21/11 crap, have HHH come out some week and call out Taker and build to his return that way)...what a waste by having both guys come out unannounced (even with the 2/21/11 crap) and blah blah blah.

There's only one guy that could have made that 2/21/11 promo work - Sting.

Undertaker vs. HHH so fucking lame.

I instantly decided not to buy WM27 because of that match alone.

To quote The Miz about HHH as Brock Lesnar's last-minute replacement: "Really? Really?"

Snore.

lol dave

The match should be pretty good, but the first week, not so much.

Not buying WM cause of one match? Have fun with that.

Seriously Krul. The only WWE PPV I like these days is the Royal Rumble.
Wrestlemania really doesn't get it done for me.
The triple main event kinda sucks, IMO, other than Alberto Del Rio.

I agree. The RR and WM are the only PPV's that I even dish out money for anymore. I'm curious as to see what other WM matches develop and if their going to have a MITB match still or not (if they do, I got dibs on Morrison winning). Del Rio/Edge and Miz/Cena isn't too shabby, certainly not who you'd expect to headline but it's "refreshing" (aside from Edge and Cena of course). Although I have a huge mancrush on Orton, that's still the match I'm looking forward to the most as I like Punk alot. Cole/Lawler is that one gimmicky match they do every WM (and it can't go nearly as horrible as Vinny Mac and Bret last year). Taker/Trips will be decent as well although I'd rather see HBK vs. Taker III hah. Throw The Rock in there and and it doesn't seem THAT bad.

Not a bad match at all. The commentators almost got annoying with the "he could win this! He could win this!" hype but it didn't kill the match the way Michael Cole does.

As for the Taker-Triple H stuff.... The more I think about it, the more I think that Taker-Trips has more mainstream, average-fan appeal than Sting-Taker does. To the smarks like us, it would be huge. But to fans who never watched anything but the WWE, or maybe really only started watching in the past decade and don't look to the past too much, Sting is just a murky name from the past from a dead promotion. They could build him up, with some vignettes about how he was the MVP of WCW and all that, but they would pretty much have to.

[SHOGUN]

Miz and Cena's promos were well and good, but this RAW sucked.

That Undertaker countdown was a crock of shit. Very underwhelming segment considering the build up.

I find it hilarious that whenever Gail Kim is actually booked in a match, she never really does anything and just when she's about to she always ends up taking some bump that removes her completely from the action.

Lawler should have snuffed Cole the instant he brought up his mother.
