[abstract alien]

Hell no, bro. Come on!

Lmao, I know! I'm just trying to believe :^(

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

Wonder how long til HHH turns heel and forms a new corporation..

bring in hbk nash hall and waltman as his stooges

 

[GDGF]

I missed like the last few weeks. Can someone tell me what is going on? I heard CM Punk went all crazy and shot a promo on WWE that got him fired IRL. What is really real and what is Kayfabe?

 

[giancarlo123x]

Haven't watch WWE in a long time but decided to check it out after hearing about last nights amazing PPV...I'm really dissapointed. Nothing has changed.

 

[Kusagari]

The only way to save this is if Vince goes to find Punk, and along with some RoH wrestlers like Colt, they stage an NWO like assault on the WWE.

 

[NihonTiger90]

I don't even ... wow.

Well, back to ROH and Japan clips on YouTube for me. Was fun while it lasted.

 

[Shadowlink]

Wait a minute! Could this lead up to a Vince and Punk team-up? They could start their own business with the real belt.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

WWE stepping up! WAY TO GO!! I loved MITB, and today's RAW was good..

 

[suplex]

hahahahaha what a terrible crowd

 

[Dork Knight]

Man, I gotta say I was bored by that Raw. It had none of the excitement or intrigue of MITB. Complete 180.

 

[ZeroRay]

More like Vince leads a ROH invasion with Punk as the champ.

That would be pretty boss.

Ain't gonna happen though.

 

[darkside31337]

More like Vince leads a ROH invasion with Punk as the champ.

3 months from now people will remember this RAW as the catalyst to the greatest era in the WWE.

In Double Double E, Kayfabe is real.

 

[Worthintendo]

so once again wwe has completely botched a good angle

i had so much hope after last nights near perfect ppv too =(

How was it botched out of interest, I thought it was a great ending. This is actually compelling TV, I need to watch next week just to see what happens next. Its this kind of stuff WWE has for the most part been lacking as of late.

 

[Lyte Edge]

the result of boring raw all for this.

not worth it though

I pretty much figured they wouldn't be able to keep the momentum from last night up. This show was a snoozer.

Vince is "out" and off TV. AGAIN. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Cena is not fired. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Dear WWE,

Never do another "John Cena will be fired" angle ever again.

Sincerely,
HarryDemeanor

 

[UberTag]

UberTag, what are your thoughts on this horrendous change in direction?

I'm kind of at a loss for words right now.

 

[Phoenixazure]

welp there's prob gonna be some shenanigans going on with the current "fake" title for the next few weeks (months?) to settle in the new status quo until the Champ returns...

[BoboBrazil]

Hahaha, how the fuck did they come up with this shit? Like all the ways this could have went and someone thought of this? Fucking hilarious. Punk doesn't exist anymore.

 

[truly101]

the crowd was just chanting "nah nah nah good bye"

now

they are chanting "thank you, vince."

worst crowd of all time.

This. I'm not discontented, other than Cena not being fired (and he needs to be), it just depends on where they take the angle. It could have a good payoff if they have time to build it up. What I hope is HHH doesn't sign punk next week, and still fires Cena, he still fucked up and lost the match.

wha.... gunshothead.gif

 

[TangMeng]

Wow this is huge news. I bet they'll report it on ESPN and CNN

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Wait a minute! Could this lead up to a Vince and Punk team-up? They could start their own business with the real belt.

Holy shit, that would be hilarious and super awesome at the same time! They could start their own show and everything. My God that would be sweet.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Obligatory:

 

[jmdajr]

funny how the things punk talked about are coming true....

son in law in charge!

The E is making people believe again!

i dont know about you bro

i teared up

 

[remnant]

ok interesting twist but talk about killing all the heat punk just created...

Killing the heat would be Punk coming out with the title and performing a minstrel show. Every match on the show was due to Punk, and Vince was fired because of Punk. How did he lose heat?

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I missed like the last few weeks. Can someone tell me what is going on? I heard CM Punk went all crazy and shot a promo on WWE that got him fired IRL. What is really real and what is Kayfabe?

How do you use the term kayfabe and ask that question?

Here's a quick and simple rule. If it reaches your eyes through official means, it's a work.

 

[dream]

Well...

How is this not bad? They took a believable storyline with the hottest pro wrestler in years, deemphasized said pro wrestler, and turned the angle into The McMahon-Heamsly Era 2011.

 

[Nelo Ice]

it didnt do anything to build on the heat that punk built after yesterdays ppv the only way they can make this interesting is if like some posters have said vince brings in punk and does an an invasion angle with him as the real champ

 

[Mdeezy]

THIS is what has you quitting? With all the bullshit they've done over the years this is what's sending you packing? Dumb.

You just hit the nail on the head ass. Its been pure shit for the past couple of years and this is the icing on the cake. I was actually hoping Vince would do something different for once and he kicked the fans in their balls once again. Cena is gonna have that damn belt before this year is over I guarantee it and the bullshit cycle keeps going.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Fuck the haters, I liked the ending, and I think this could very well go somewhere great.

At the very least, it felt like the official passing of the torch to Hunter (as the on-camera Chairman, at least).

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Seriously, what a joke. What was the point of that stip at ALL?

 

[Shadowlink]

Yeah! Also to those who think it's real, didn't Vince recently say that he won't retire as CEO for awhile.

 

[MPW]

lame ending

rather see shane o mac back

 

[Guzim]

HHH's first duty as boss: Tributes to Taker/HHH WM27 match on every televised event.

 

[Zoolader]

I see HHH and Steph making big decisions, then Shane coming back and starting a family fued because of disagreements. Then possibly Steph/RAW and Shane/SD fued, or even a buyout of TNA.

 

[Ferny]

This actually opens the door for a couple different outcomes. Sure it wasn't the best RAW ever but cmon they can't do EVERYTHING in one night. They gotta lay some groundwork.

 

[NihonTiger90]

And Raw ends with John Cena's music playing. The end.

 

[MetatronM]

Well...the ending was at least more interesting than the direction they were going earlier in the show.


They still managed to ruin all of the heat they had from the last few weeks, though. They went from "I HAVE TO WATCH RAW" to "eh, Raw's on?" in ONE night. That takes effort.

 

[dream]

Basically, WWE took a once in an era angle that could have galvanized the entire business and turned it into an angle where Vince loses control of his company for the 3rd or 4th time.

It's kind of funny when you think about it. It would be like having SCSA cut his Austin 3:16 promo, then immediately have The Ultimate Warrior squash him the next night.

 

[Entropia]

lame ending

rather see shane o mac back

Shane O Mac would be awesome, but he'll never be back at this point.

I gotta say - wish there was more fallout from the Punk stuff last night.

But hey, I'm digging this.

 

[Lunchbox]

HHH's first duty as boss: Tributes to Taker/HHH WM27 match on every televised event.

with the theme song

OH Written in the stars
A million miles away
A message to the main
ohhhhhhhh

 

[NihonTiger90]

Hey Vince ... you miss Punk yet?

 

[Zoolader]

Seriously, what a joke. What was the point of that stip at ALL?

to enrage gullible punk clingers?

 

[Ilive1up]

is steph still attractive?

 

[sumo390]

If Vince or Shane comes back with a bunch of wrestlers (led by Punk of course) to challenge Triple H's WWE down the road I'd be satisfied with this angle.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Wait WWE acknowledged TNA as competition!

"MOVIN ON UP LIKE THE JEFFERSONS !!!"
