Triple H... seems "done."

I don't buy it but he seems to be the guy that doesn't want to end up like Flair, like Funk, like Hogan.

Just being in the locker room, well past your prime and holding a spot someone else could use all because of what you used to be instead of what you really are now.

Is he really in the locker room from week to week though? He's on the executive board and makes minimal appearances, like Lesnar and Taker. I really think this is to give H's a year off, finish with Lesnar and The Rock from things started back in April, and then give H's one more shot at the title.

I'd assume he's there as far as TV goes.

House Shows are probably a crapshoot.

If he does "come back," its going to be for the belt.

I would pay good money for Kane to put Michael Cole through the announce table right now.

He's always there for RAW doing backstage stuff.

I realize that. But the thing about that promo is that it doesn't make sense. I know I'm overanalyzing what is essentially a kids show, but even a kid knows that H's isn't a full-time guy. He's not taking a spot in the locker room.

At least the Kane/Danielson anger management class was hilarious. The rest of this Raw is beyond terrible.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

So Vickie gets attacked by AJ, and runs off. She doesn't escort Ziggler to the stage tonight, and she didn't appear on the Orton/Ziggler main event spot. If that means she is done with Ziggler, absolutely fantastic move.

What?

You didn't like that Danielson, a guy who has as much focus and technical prowess as Punk or Better around the world, had beaten MULTIPLE people much bigger than him as champ, etc...

That Danielson now gets counted out because some shithead plant in the front row is screaming "YES!" at him?

Or that the former United States Champion manifests his lust for a Russian Import via a Sock Puppet painted like a snake?

Why do you even watch Pro Wrestling man?

How they are using Danielson is ridiculous. His "match" tonight combined with this main event is just dumb.

 

[EmpireWF]

Punk must love working with Lawler. Too bad it's not in Memphis, though.

It's gotta be Vince's doing.

He's pissed that he's had to back one vanilla indie midget.

He ain't gonna back two at once for more than a few months.

If you want ridiculous, see this Lawler/Punk match and tell me that there was any shred of thought in your mind that Jerry would go over without overbooking.

No, I didn't think Lawler would go over anyway you cut it. And I don't see the need to do this right now, just stupid. Unless they want to give Lawler some time off or something.

 

[IamMedellin]

why doesnt Cena just climb the cage?

 

[JayDizzle]

And... I still don't care how terrible CM Punk acts towards his fellow human beings.

He'd have to murder small animals and children in that ring to get a twing of hatred against him.

BEST IN THE WORLD.

SuperCena's #1 weakness: He can't beat booking.

To overanalyze this more...

They know they won't turn Punk's fans from the indies (that haven't already for him signing with the WWE) and the people who slavishly follow him since he hit the scene in W-ECW.

However, they can play on the younger kids, the parents, and whoever else dug Punk before he started on his quest for "Respect."

If you brought your kid to a live show and you saw Punk kicking an old geezer's ass for 20 minutes, without remorse, would you want them to cheer for the guy?

You probably tell your kid to follow Cena because he's Captain America, the Clean-Cut Hero who never does anything wrong.

TL;DR - They are trying EVERYTHING to get people to turn on Punk because they want the Main Event at NoC to have a clear Heel vs. Face Matchup for the belt.

It just won't work and it's killing them.

What's funny is it's in Boston and Cena will almost definitely still get a 50/50 reaction.

AND THAT"S even WITH Cena Cutting a promo with a thick Bawstin accent during the ppv

LMAO!!!

I couldn't believe it when he did that shit last time....I still dont know if that was just him ribbing guys in the back, whether he was told to do it or what the fuck. It was sooooooo awful.

 

[JimLeavy59]

I saw Mike's Cena sign at the beginning of the show

:yep:


Funny the WWE let me keep that one but made me throw out a sign that simply said Cena Sucks :walker:

This was a very bad show and if RAW stays three hours no fucking way I'll ever go to another one I was at the area for FIVE FUCKING HOURS!!!! I was ready to go by the start of the 2nd hour. And why does every heel champ have to fight Jerry Lawler? And CM Punk is still getting a face reaction WWE needs to just have him be a tweener not a full blown heel.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Am I really watching Bryan Danielson, Kane, and SCORPIO SKY in an anger management skit?

Scorpio Sky should have been given the name "Mason" instead of "Harold".
