So the WWE is worried about ratings and that's the show they put on?

When the boss is pissed, you make the boss happy.

At least the tag tourney, Sheamus and Daniel Bryan are having good matches.

nothing would please me more than Vince failing to pop a rating

I want this promotion to be interesting again so I don't have to stay up until 4am and lay out $25 to enjoy wrestling. Nothing will change unless people continue to stop watching and force their hand.

So, I've watched about a total of 7 minutes of this all-important Raw. I've seen a Ryback squash, Larry King, and now Heyman cowering to McMahon in a what looked to be a women's tank top. I guess when McMahon cracks the whip for better results, they answer with pandering to McMahon more. Isn't that the stuff that got them down to the 2's in the first place?

So I tune back in for the over-run and McMahon is in full self-gratification mode. Punk refuses to get in the ring with him, he knocks out Heyman, Ryback comes down, Cena came down to assist Ryback. I'm pretty sure McMahon creamed his jeans about 10 times in the last 10 minutes. Also, I don't buy that camera shaking for a second. PPS, I'm upset Punk didn't hit more fans. Those mongoloids need to realize the show is still going, so save your personal closeness fetish with these wrestlers for a few more seconds.

"CM Punk disrespected rasslin" the IWC.

Watching last week's RAW.


I must have rewound those Ryback/Tensai botches 19 times. Amazing.

Anyone else love the Mysterio/Sin Cara masks now that they are a team.

I've always loved mascaras...and just think the half-half of those two luchadors is baws.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Wait - what ever happened to "I love you, pop"?

Vince can fire people again?

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

JR and JBL should be the RAW commentating team.

Cole is 100000x more bearable with Bradshaw beside him. They have amazing chemistry.

Lol @ CM Punk blindly throwing an elbow like a fucking moron and hitting a guy whos hands were in the air. Classic.

What was your favorite promotion ever?
WWF 1997-2001 38.4%
WWF 1984-1990 13.0%
Crockett 1984-87 12.0%
ECW 1995-98 10.9%
WCW 1996-98 10.1%
Mid South 1982-1986 4.8%
World Class 1983-1985 2.9%
Current WWE 2.5%
Georgia 1977-1981 2.3%
Memphis 1980-1985 1.9%
Crockett 1977-1983 1.1%


LOL.

Also, Vince won the war, so he writes the history. That is a criminally low total for WCW.

Too bad not a lot of people are familiar with the old Watts Mid South. That's sad, actually.

fwiw, i'll take Crockett 84-87, all day, every day from this list. Tough choices, though. Memphis, current WWE (again, LOL), and attitude era are the only ones I don't really like. Haven't seen much of that Georgia era listed, to be fair.

WWF 1992 and that's all folks.

Much of WWF/WCW/ECW from the late 90s just don't hold up at all no matter the epic rosters and great storylines back then.

I think WCW holds up much better than WWE or ECW, and actually hold up quite well.

Also, when it comes to WWE or ECW, or anything really, it all should be judged in context. It wasnt Paul Heyman's job to book wrestling people would like 20 years later, it was his job to book wrestling people liked in 1995.

This is why sometimes i'm afraid to watch old matches with my 2012 eyes. I prefer to not ruin my memory with out of context perspective.
