Makes me wonder how far Rusev is going to go.  I could see him getting through Mark Henry, especially if Big Show turns, and maybe a couple of more guys, only to break apart on the mighty reef that is John Cena.  I have this feeling that they're building him specifically for Cena down the road.  They might feed him to Sheamus, I guess, but then they lose the "USA" dynamic.


Regarding Rusev, Ive always thought the absolute best thing for them to do with him is put him in the picture for a US Title run.

Makes perfect sense when you consider the heat he gets for being so anti-USA and it adds to just how much of a dominant figure they have him as currently, with the entire "never pinned, never submitted" thing he has.

I think that the Rusev thing is going to go on for a while.  They'll have him beat Henry, Big Show, Sheamus, maybe Dolph Ziggler, Jericho if he's not back on tour, and then they will feed him to Cena.  They could stretch it out to Wrestlemania if they want to.

Damn! Really impressed by that Occupy RAW segment. I sometimes thought what it would be like to see something like that, was cool to actually see it happen, and with Bryan leading the cause!

Edit: For the love of God, CM Punk is gone... he doesn't want to come back, let it go. Ugh.. these chants can be annoying as hell. 

I am almost certain that the WWE planted people to start an "AJ Lee" chant on RAW.  That, or she has a dedicated group of coordinated fans, which ... yeah.  They were oddly loud and seemingly really, really into it.  It struck me as fake.

Still, yeah, CM Punk chants need to go away six months ago.  It's over.  "Randy Savage" is a much better chant for boring matches, anyway.

lol I just hope I don't have to keep hearing this come the RAW in lets say... July? I mean I know how it's going to be in Chicago, I doubt that will ever change. I find it hard to blame WWE when, while I don't know this for a fact, they've tried to get him back (this is a guess), but he just doesn't want to come back.

Just saw the RAW right before the WM. Really much looking forward to the Bryan/HHH match. I know how some of these matches end, and despite knowing the outcome to some, for Lesnar/Taker, I'm just not as excited for it. I felt the build up was a little derivative and could have been idk.. done better. Maybe it's just that I know how it will end, so I'm not as excited. 

Really wish they'd bring back the MITB for WM as I always felt it was a perfect opener. Divas match seems thrown together, just a way to I guess either make AJ look good if she wins, because damn they love to make her look bad against everyone else on RAW. 

Wyatt and Cena... absolutely loving the promos from Bray. There was one quote that really resonated with me, "Your bones will pave the streets of my kingdom." Just amazing work all around; just wish he was a better in ring worker; maybe that's just me though. SHIELD and Kane... ehh, glad they got some use after losing to the SHIELD. Don't care much for Hogan and his cup, but I'll say Cena, or Super face Sheamus will win it. Meh either way. 

Overall very much looking forward to Bryan/HHH, the triple threat, and then Undertaker/Lesnar. Seems like a good card, I've seen better though. Will be watching WM 30 tomorrow!

lol maybe :P

I gave up watching WWE 7 months ago. Now I'm going back and watching past RAWs and PPVs. This is the only decent place to give wrestling thoughts online I've found. 

If it's annoying I'll stop though.

Bryan's run really was a lot of fun. Part of that was how the fans bloody FORCED the WWE into giving him a real push. People wanted to see Daniel Bryan, not because he had puffed up muscles or was great on a mic, but because he was incredibly entertaining to watch inside the ring. Yeah, that part of the industry that the WWE did not seem eager to focus on.

I think it really exposed the crazy dichotomy that exists now, though, where you have what the fans want on one side and what the WWE decides the fans want on the other. The two things often do not seem to align. It's like, if they decide we should want Cena then that's it. I've never seen a company so against giving its customers what they desire.

Still, part of me is kind of glad that Bryan got hurt. If not, I'm convinced that they would have had Lesnar destroy him the way he did Cena but without the Rocky-type return push.

Wrost part is that WWE labelled people against them as internet fans.  I guess thats why the app isn't doing so great the WWE universe is full of people who doesn't use the internet.
