Lol The Rock concert owned the hell out of Cena's rap.

Can anyone fill me in on this week's Raw? anything interesting happen?

I agree.  Heck the whole "Embrace the Hate" angle would of been a lot more effective if it would of happened after Wrestlemania.

Cause even if Cena wins, he's going to get booed until the rock gets up and shakes his hand.

Good Taker/Michaels promo.

Rock owned Cenas short/bad rap

Good match between Ziggler/Sheamus

Rest = Bad.

Why does that not surprise me? 

I've gotten used to it. WWE hasn't really entertained me all that much since around 2003. I'm hanging on with hopes that it might return eventually but the chances are low.

my original hiatus began in 2004, sometime in the summer between Wrestlemania 20 and Summerslam.  my interest began waning somewhere in between the WCW takeover plot and changing the name from WWF to WWE.   All of my favorite groups had been disbanded (HArdyz, Dudleyz, Edge and Christian, D-X, and many, many others), many of the best wrestlers I fell in love with that MADE me watch it were regularly disappearing on injury, retiring, or moving to other brands (Jeff kept coming and going, Taker was in and out, Stone Cold was in the process of retiring forever, The Rock became a movie star, Triple H was out for a year with his torn quads, Mck Foley retired, etc), the attitude era was over...and instead we got John Cena doing some wigger rap bullshit.  

I like Cena now, but I LOATHED him back then; in fact he was the primary reason I threw up my hands and just left.  

My peak was Wrestlemania 18, where I was IN the damn skydome when it happened, you can even see me and my friend in the DVD if you look.  After that, it waslike "okay, that was an end to an era." and from then on I was kinda caring less and less. 

I get the impression that between 2004 and 2011 I missed some awesome shit.  Hardyz came back, Edge became the biggest thing, and talent like Randy Orton turned out to not suck and a lot of the guys that were jsut getting popular when I left got huge, like Batista and Brock LEsnar (before both quit).  I admit I like some of the stories now (CM Punk's breaking kayfabe was honestly awesome and I Still watch that every few weeks becuase it's awesome), Sheamus is a hell of a wrestler, and some of the stuff is good, but my god some of it is just terrible.  The Tag Division is a joke, wrestlers are jumping up and down tiers like it's nothing (intercontinental and US champions as part of the Elimination chamber matches, etc), great talent failing to keep a rivalry going for more than a month (I'm looking at you, Orton), and a lot of great ideas falling short (Christian taking over for Edge).  

I see a LOT of talent in that ring.  some of these performers are the best I've seen but I swear the WWE is being terrible on purpose becuase...hey, why put on a good show when people fill up the seats regardless?  The storylines mostly suck, character arches are inconsistent and underutilised, some of the best entertainers are ignored or kept to the sidelines as joke characters (Zack Ryder, Santino), and it feels like an entire industry of missed potential.  They're like Nintendo: all the potential in the world, no idea how to use it.  

I wouldn't' classify any of those as monster heels.

I saw raw... and was pretty bored honestly.

What I found most interesting about the Undertaker segement was the faint chanting of "What!"

Weird to see the fans turn on the Undertaker.

I just... turned off the TV during the Rocks promo... it was that painful.

John Cena sounded more like teenage version of Dr. Sues then a rapper.

With Eve and Beth Phoneix it feels like they're trying to turn the Divas division into "Sweet Valley High" or something. 

Outside that it was boring and it felt like there was more time spent on entrances then matches.

I watched the end of the Rock concert and it was horrible. I was wondering why the Rock was having so much trouble with the lyrics of his version of We Will Rock You. It's because he was reading along on the jumbotron. This was bad karaoke at it's worst.

Watching it now via DVR. You guys aren't filling me with hope with your comments. I've always been a huge fan of the Rock and I'm becoming a fan of Cena (that Elimination Chamber match really hurt his momentum with me, though). I want him to knock it out of the park with one of his old school promos but I guess that ain't happening.

Also, I just saw the mention of a Team Long versus Team Laurenaitis (or however the fuck you spell his name). Can I call 'em or can I call 'em? Said that would happen weeks ago!
