Monday Night Raw 3/3/14

So who thinks Punk may not actually be showing? I can't think they would tease the crowd like that with the Heyman/Lesnar segment if there wasn't a plan for him to make an appearance at the end of the show.

This.... seems like the match broke down for a second after Rollins went Captain Insane-O just then.

Bray missed his cue and Luke ends up covering for the main shot.

Rollins




That is all that needs to be said.

I've really come to appreciate Rollins more and more over the past couple months......the guy is awesome

[JayDizzle]

Trying to burn them out, but I don't think it's going to happen. Though if they could book like this on a weekly basis......

I would work if they kept to the "Guest Host" schedule they seem to be back on.

Betty White last week (or was it the week before) and now Jesse from Breaking Bad.

Basically have more inter-match segments to fill time between the awesome bouts.

The problem is, now that all the undercard/trainee matches are going to go to the WWE Network, these "big time matches" will eventually because the norm.

And then from the norm to just boring.

And it'd take a LOT to make stuff like Shield/Wyatt matches boring.

[Ravin]

So where do I pay my money for this match? Feel like I owe them something.

[JayDizzle]

And it's Rollins that splinters from the group first?

That's interesting.

Place would have blown a gasket if Rollins ran back in.

[EmpireWF]

Well that was nuts.

[JayDizzle]

Retroactively, this match turned out WAY BETTER than I suspected.

Took away time from a potential Cesaro/Langston war but... gotta give something up to get something good.

Worth it.

For now.

Yes, but I could see Rollins re-creating the Shield after the split with some help from NXT. Not sure if that's in the cards once the split happens, but I would hope they are keeping that option open.

I'm having flashbacks to THE CORRE.

I'd only want to pair him with the best coming out of the school.

Gimme Zayn and the other man can be a coin flip.

I'd venture to say Rollins is better in ring and on the mic than any members of the Corre.

Then again, I'm probably going to get ragged on by someone who has some obsession with Wade Barrett, who I will never get. Except for Bad News Barrett on a cherry picker, that is awesome.

Get used to it buddy, this is the new model. PPV is dead, TV rights fees are driving the bus, so all of the good shit is transitioning to TV. The monthly "PPV's" will be used to set up TV, as opposed to the reverse.

It's going to be great, but I do wonder if it will burn out the audience. And it's another one of those deals where you cant put the toothpaste back in the tube. Nitro killed jobber matches, now WWE is going to give away everything for free.
