[IamMedellin]

the one who destroys the Raw laptop will get one of the biggest pops in the history of Monday Night RAW

in one night the Raw laptop can put over as many ppl as hulk hogan has this decade,,,

CM Punk sighting on RAW wub: ).

Katie Vick was brought up and the subsequent "YouTube it and it'll drive you to drink... then you can come see me!" comment was made.

Much laughter was shared.

 

[JayDizzle]

Segment deteriorated to Big Show asking for a "high-five" from Punk...

"There's nothing "high" about the Straight Edge Society and that makes us better than you!"

...Big Show took offense and proceeded to slap Punk in the chest with that 2,000,000 Ton Anvil he calls a hand.

My guess is Eric Bischoff has worn out more women than you have socks.
Oh ... and I like that cougar's bum.

Punk was the only entertaining aspect of RAW.

Punk was the only entertaining aspect of RAW.

While the match was aight, the entrance that Rhodes had coming to the ring was awesome.

Normally, you expect wrestlers to have full-on tunnel vision when performing (for obvious reasons being that plus entrances, most matches last 10 minutes at most on TV) but to have Rhodes turn towards the stage AND THEN the stage's monitors turn into a GINORMOUS MIRROR?

Great stuff.

If he does this on SmackDown, I may have to watch more.

He does. And his theme is tremendous.

Raw scored a 1.86 rating among males 18-34, which was down from a 2.03 rating last week.

Now one could suggest that McMahon is insane enough to be intentionally misleading Wall Street with excuses that are not substantiated by financials that wouldn’t hold up under either SEC or Sarbanes Oxley Act 404 scrutiny, or maybe that he has no idea what he’s talking about despite the massive success of his business model.

Or one could recognize the direct connect between what TV ratings, PPV buy rates, and ticket sales have proven time and time again, as well as what legitimate focus groups conducted by credible media companies in the business of such have clearly identified: the TV audience (including 18-34 males) rate with ESTABLISHED (and yes older) stars!”

Yeah Bisch exactly what wrestling needs is more Kevin Nash.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Bischoff is lost. Instead of tossing out an insignificant 7-week sample size from the company that could lose 50% of their audience and still be kicking his ass, why doesnt he flaunt those disturbing numbers TNA has sported since he took over with his geriatric "stars"?

Besides, I had no idea the WWE was undergomg some sort of youth movement the last two months. Sheamus has been getting pushed for much longer than that, and we've seen start/stop pushes for Miz, Bourne, Kingston, McIntyre, and a few others. Otherwise, it's still Cena, Orton, Mysterio, Kane, Undertaker, Punk, et al on top.

The wrestling business can not sustain inself unless you constantly are working towards building new stars. To argue otherwise is just really fucking ignorant, but we're dealing with a guy who ran the company with the best resources in the history of the wrestling business, and still managed to run it into the ground in roughly 5 years.
