Raw this week was awful. Getting back to the point where I don't feel like watching again.


yeah, like NOTHING happened.  I think the only part I enjoyed was when Cena was acting like a tard.  Some of the matches were alright, but this close to such an empty pay per view and no real announcements?  There's only 5 announced matches at the pay per view and only two of them interest me.  (fatal 4-way and the Punk/Bryan match).  The Tag Team Championship match COULD be good, but I'm not holding my breath as it's just a bland, boring, everyday match, no stipulation.  

At least Extreme Rules had a few good matches!

What the hell did i just saw The Big Show got fired from the WWE in the most humiliating and pathetic way possible. Now I know his wrestling career is questionable but it was overall entertaining nonetheless. Maybe its just a storyline but this will forever affect his image.



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

hey. even the world's biggest athlete needs a vacation from time to time.  

they never actually do their REAL firings and quittings on air.  ever.  clearly Kayfabe :P

speaking of that...what's going on with Brock?  Like, all this hype to bring him back, did he decide it wsn't for him and leave, or is this all part of the buildup?  I did find it funny that Triple H called him out on quitting every time it got rough.

It's a buildup for a feus with HHH at Summerslam. Brock has roughly a $5 million contract but he only has to show up so many times. So they're trying to conserve them for the bigger PPVs and the Mania stretch. Very disappointed that i'll probably never even see him wrestle on a Raw or Smackdown.



Am I the only one who liked Over the Limit? i mean, aside from the big twist at the end and yet another stupid ryback match, I thought it was pretty solid!

I didn't order the PPV, either. Probably won't order one until Summerslam if the hype is really good for it and I"m not working. From what I hear, the whole thing was really well done except for the Cena vs. Johnny Ace match. I'm not sure why WWE feels that a John Cena vs. Anybody match is bigger than the freakin' Heavyweight Championship. Let somebody else main event the show, guys!

Also not sure how I feel about the three hour RAW format in the future. Unless they are going to do some serious storyline building and bring in some of the wrestlers we never see, I'm not sure it's a good idea. Also, if RAW clocks in at 3 hours and Smackdown still clocks in at two, what good is a PPV?



lemme see here:

1 - The 20 man people power battle royale was really awesome. I mean, it's just a battle royale, but it was well done and I loved that christian not only returned, but won it and turned face in the process. his prize: a chance to compete for the intercontinental or US championship that night. he chose the intercontinental championship and actually won it in what was another good match. Truth be told, I hope this builds to a budding rivalry between Christian and Cody Rhodes. Seriously, I think that'd be a great pairing,

2 - the tag team match was surprisingly good, too. lots of tagging action, Kofi really did a lot of high flying, was a solid overall match.

3 - I always skip past the divas

4 - Fatal Four Way was also pretty damn good. I wish it was a 4-way elimination as opposed to a regular 4-way. Either way, all four of the wrestlers were great, ended really well. Very happy with this one, may well be my favorite match of the night.

5 - Brodus clay is fun, but watching his matches is boring as sin, he never even falls; he's like a fat ryback. Meh, wasn't much of a match, even though the Miz is awesome.

6 - Christian vs Cody Rhodes match was short but sweet. very impressed with Christian in this case.

7 - Punk vs Bryan match was so very long, lots of filler (them lying around after a high risk move), but it was still arguably the best match on the card. Very technical, lots of reversals, very, VERY impressive.

8 - Fuck ryback. Pit him against someone that isn't 1/3 his size. he's not impressive until he can take down Kane or something.

9 - Cena vs Big Johnny was actually a lot of fun. really not much of a match, but I haven't laughed that hard at WWE in a while. Seriously, some of the stuff that happened in that match was flat out hilarious.

WWE 13 trailer is out. Impact has been decent and Raw was more than watchable. Also the last few ROH tv shows have been pretty good. Let's see the Raw CM Punk vs. Bryan Danielson is the early match of the week winner. http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/05/29/igns-exclusive-debut-of-wwe-13



 Go Team Venture! I still don't get the Wii, PS Move,  and Kinect.

I don't get it, why in the hell would Jericho be suspended because he was disrespectful? heels disrespect countries, states, and cities all the time...it's what they do.

WWE wants to keep face and have good relations or good public image with everywhere in a business sense.

Although to the average fan it sucks, but you have to agree with their decision as bad as it might seem to be.

 

Especially a country like Brazil you know, some countries honestly dont like having their public property/symbol be tarnished in their own country. I mean maybe in the US sure, but when you do it in your own country its kinda disrespectful.

imo, its ok, I mean he was doing his job and as a heel he is epic!

I'm not sure if it's just Canadian Culture that's more open to self-mockery or the fact that Jericho is Canadian, but when he disses canada, it's all in good fun and we know it.
