The WWE Thread

I think John Cena did a pretty dumb promo on Raw. Not only was he once again painfully unfunny, one of the worst Star Wars references ever, but to actually say only nine year old's watch the show, is a major turn off.

I had a feeling Vince McMahon wasn't too much of a Daniel Bryan fan when he made a comment about his size last week.

Well that sucks. I'm sure we all know how McMahon has always felt about these things, but considering that those "vanilla midgets" he's referring to have managed to get over and put fans' butts in the seats, I'm not sure why he's putting this official directive in place. Whatever. WWE is still the lesser evil when we're talking about pro wrestling available on cable, but McMahon sure seems interested in keeping his product more mediocre than it needs to be.

I thought Funkasaurus was banned from Raw a few weeks back? Ug.

 

[The Ringer]

Brock's appearance just vanishes until next week.

Who would of though that going into the 1000th episode of Raw the most interesting character of the heap is AJ

I thought Funkasaurus was banned from Raw a few weeks back? Ug.

and was lifted a few weeks back as it was only John L's plan to keep Big Show safe until no way out by sending Brodus to smackdown

 

[Dr.FeelGood]

Was nice to see DDP back again...

I miss the old days


And what the heck is up with this AJ girl?....I havent really been keeping up with the main current stories lately but sheeesh....

 

[Kiva]

AJ has been a psycho and had solid gold segments for the last maybe 8 weeks now.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, I like AJ. . .if for no other reason than she's helping to keep Bryan a bit relevant in the eyes of WWE execs

 

[thenammagazine]

Missed RAW last night. Sounds like I didn't miss anything.

 

[Kiva]

It was the best raw in a while!

 

[karamazov80]

I only caught bits and pieces, but there were a few good things about it that I caught. Heath Slater pinned Doink

 

[Phil Sierra]

AJ is kinda cute. I heard somewhere she is Puerto Rican. I thought she was Eurasian.

[karamazov80]

I LOL'd at that one

I still remember the awful midget tag match between him and Lawler at Survivor Series.

 

[xYx]

Sin Cara has one ugly video entrance.
Once again we are treated to the 50th Lawler VS Cole match! Yay!

FYI: Bob Backlund wasn't in ring gear, that's what he was wearing when he got there.

 

[The Ringer]

Finalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly!


The rock will back in two weeks!

 

[thenammagazine]

I'm beginning to think Punk and Bryan need to just admit their true feelings, get it over with and get the chick out of the way. They already practically frenched each other on Smackdown.

 

[FLOSI]

Jesus, I watched the first half of RAW last night and it SUCKED.... The Clay v McIntire match and the Shamus v Jack the new jobber Swagger were nothing short of embarrassing.... Michael Cole v Jerry Lawler?? WTF? Who wanted to see that train wreck? What happened to WRESTLING??? They don't wrestle anymore?? Or maybe it's that they CAN'T wrestle anymore... I guess CM Punk and Chris Jericho can only be involved in so many matched every night, eh? Because it seems like the rest of the roster isn't capable of putting together a match that lasts more than 10 minutes, with a few exceptions.

 

[karamazov80]

Well I think we've actually been fortunate to get such a protracted Punk/Bryan feud for those who like wrestling. Because they are so popular at the moment, McMahon actually let them go for upwards of 20 minutes on some RAW matches, which is pretty unheard of. Also, Smackdown typically lets better guys rassle a bit longer, since they don't have to appeal to the same exact audience that Raw does (seems to be more kids and those interested in the soap opera aspects). Historically, Smackdown was where you would usually see great Benoit/Guerrero/Angle matches, and that carries over today when you see guys like Bryan, Tyson Kidd, and Antonio Cesaro given time to show off their skills more consistently than you see on Raw.

 

[FLOSI]

Glad to see Tyson Kidd getting a push.
