2 minutes of cool heel turn at the end does not cover up this three hour RAW from being absolutely dreadful.

Brutal, utter shit.

Why do you even watch RAW?

If that show ticks you off, you should never watch it again.

Stick to the indies and the stuff you like. WWE has never pretended to be real pro wrestling, it is sports entertainment.

I'll agree it sucks too often, but tonight was fun and entertaining. And, I gotta admit, I didn't see the Punk heel turn.

Get over being so serious about every moment of the WWE.

The WWE really wants people to buy that HHH could even go toe to toe to Brock Lesnar in a fight?

 

[whuteva]

thought the show would have moresubstance, but it was ok. It'd be cool to have a rock/punk thing last through wm, but they can't have cena outta the title picture for too long. taker needs to hang 'em up.

Same thing came to mind with me, I guess we got AJ as GM, Brock and HHH and the Punk "Heel turn" and I guess a new IC champ but it felt very empty

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Watched RAW for the first time in forever.

I hate how they use Piper. He shouldn't be treated like a random cameo geek, he was one of the key figures of the expansion and the main catalyst for Hogan in '85-'86.

If this was a "loaded" show, I shudder at the thought of a run-of-the-mill three hour RAW. Show was pretty boring. This AJ thing just sucks the life out of me every time, I have less than zero interest in her character, but now she's the focal point of the show.

Don't care about Brock/HHH, only the Heyman promos.

Big Show involved in major stories in 2012 is mind boggling. When he wrestles, I feel like i'm watching that scene in Austin Powers where Scott is telling Dr. Evil to "Just shoot him in the head! I have a gun, I will kill them right now!". Why doesn't Big Show just immediately punch every opponent in the head with his PUNCH OF DOOM? That finisher has the worst psychology. It requires no softening up, set up, etc. It's just a punch to the head! Just do it immediately! He was punching Cena in the gut last night, and im thinking to myself, why? JUST PUNCH HIM IN THE HEAD! He'll be dead! I know it's silly WWE wrestling, I just cant get past that. It bugs me.

The IC title changed? lol. I must have fast forwarded. I don;t even know who the old champion was. Great job getting that title over.

The six man opener was entrances, commercial, heat spot on Mistico, finish. Lol. They would really eliminate the matches if they could figure out a way to do it.

 

[EmpireWF]

no Stone Cold AT RAW?! WTF?!

He said he had knee surgery earlier this month and is only recently getting rid of the crutches.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Daniel Bryan is so good in his role, that he is almost too good, and might end up being typecast into that type of character for the rest of his run.

Remember when we all thought Bryan Danielson would struggle with the personality end of being in the WWE? LOL. The guy just gets it, what a talent.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I actually liked AJ...when she was simply Danielson's valet and girlfriend...even when Danielson dumped her, she was pretty good at her part...then, like always, the WWE went full retard. She's a likable chick...very cute, non-threatening, actually plays her part well...but they took her from a bench player and stuck her into the 3-hole (lol!) in 2 months. Ol girl has jumped the shark a few times in this Bryan-Punk feud. Now, instead of bringing her back down to earth and letting her be Bryan's valet and "wife" and they both go face and get the push (which is what the crowd wanted), they turn Danielson heel again, bury him (have they learned that Danielson is unburyable...he's just too good) and make AJ the central figure on the show.

Awful.

Biss nailed it when he said they went through six months of AJ storyline in like two weeks.

Also, why did they show Bryan with four indy guys dressed as handlers from a mental institution? They never went back to that and it didn't play into the angle. Did they run short on time and cut something?

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

So i've missed TNA the last two weeks (DirecTV). Has the momentum kept up?

 

[Derrville]

What exactly makes this a Punk Heel turn because since the Rocks come back hes been annoying as fuck and what Punk did is what Id expect out of anyone at this point. It didnt seem to be any different than the times Austin stunned Rock when they both were both faces done clearing a ring or something. And its not like he asked Big Show to come out or any thing or even really help him.

It's because he made menacing faces and was breathing heavy.

They'll probably do some goofy Punk/Show vs Rock/Cena match at some point. Or better yet, the 'WWE special' where people who hate each other are forced to team up, so it'll be Punk/Rock vs Cena/Show. WHAT WILL HAPPEN??!! CAN THEY CO-EXIST!!!!!!?????

Punk was due for a heel turn, but I agree, from a character standpoint its hard to blame him for leveling The Rock. If this was 1996 ECW all four of these guys would be different shades of gray, with Cena being almost all white and Show being almost black.

I wondered that too. I was hoping that Daniel Bryan was going to go full heel by having her forcibly committed once they were husband and wife. That would have been a great way to tie up the crazy chick angle

 

[EmpireWF]

I took it that Bryan wanted to marry her so he could get rid of her and leave his path to the title wide open. He's so pissed because now that she's the stupid GM, that road is shut.

 

[IamMedellin]

is there gonna be a podcast for this?

So much to tlk about...that Heyman castration/Brock punking was pretty Blatant/expected

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Base hits.

Nothing ground breaking...but they are on a good path, so I'll take base hits.

AJ-Claire storyline is awful.
This Aces and Eights Storyline (the bums that beat up Hogan and Sting) is looking like a gang of ex-WWE guys like Luke Gallows, Mike Knox, etc. At least, that is who they are using, but it may not be the same guys under the masks when they do a reveal...unsure if this is a good storyline.

But, BFG series rages on and that provides good content weekly.
