I hope if they do give Goldust one last run with Cody at Mania that dust returns to creepy sex freak Goldust.... well as much as a PG rating will allow.


I can totally see old Goldust trying to hit on his "dashing" half brother. Is hinting at Incest PG?


Oh and I guess JR was at raw but wasnt used again this week.

this weeks raw was rewritten a bunch and they even completely dropped the guest host segments so I guess maybe it was actually just rewritten for the better since this weeks raw was pretty solid and not just vince being a jerk to JR.

I hope you all have an amazing thanksgiving. Are the servers still down on WWE12? any idea when they will be back up?

I have an amazing story I want to upload. It's a tale of love, betrayal, over coming the odds only to fall short. It's part one of a larger story. I just wanted to test it out to see if there is interest. If so I will continue the story.

--Right now Vince McMahon has made the commitment to Punk as champion. They are back in the mindset of trying to strengthen the belt by not changing it every month (a strategy that often changes four weeks later when there is a PPV and Raw rating to jump). Punk is planned to be champion past Royal Rumble. As for Del Rio, McMahon has lost confidence in him according to multiple sources, and with the experiment of bringing in stars from Mexico, with the idea it hasn’t worked out as he had envisioned.

Feel bad for Del Rio. Not giving him the title at Wrestlemania 27 completely killed his momentum and made him dead in the water.


--In the case of Ron Killings, we have it confirmed his suspension was for a marijuana substitute, presumably Spice, and that the test result came in several weeks ago. According to someone with complete knowledge of the situation, Killings was informed around the same time Bourne was suspended that he had failed the test for a marijuana substitute. Because he was not suspended, he presumed he was not being suspended, based on the idea that they had the European tour and he was in the main event at Survivor Series. He was never told anything different and had no idea he was being suspended until 11/22. We were told the writers were also not informed of anything, and that this had nothing to do with the lack of heat put on he and Miz to build the show. Michael Hayes had told Miz and Truth that for this main event there was no need to get heat, which nobody understood but felt to mean Rock was going to sell the show whether they did an angle or not, so why bother. Vince McMahon ordered the R-Truth babyface turn because he felt Raw only has two babyfaces that were over, Cena and Punk, and if one gets hurt the depth was bad. Plus, McMahon felt there was great potential in Little Jimmy merchandise.

Little Jimmy merchandise??!!?


--A lot of people noted that Foley wasn’t on the show even though he was in town and performing a comedy show right after. Ryder, Ziggler and Morrison came to his comedy show a few blocks from MSG. Brian Gewirtz remains a big Foley supporter, thinking he’s creative and a good performer but HHH always buries him, even now, thinking he doesn’t look tough, people can’t take him serious in the ring. His debut on Raw was more as a comedy figure that they’d do with one-off legends as opposed to an idea to bring him back with a storyline. He is scheduled to return as the guest host of the live Smackdown on 11/29.

You go Hunter!

--As noted last week, DiBiase was given the nod by Vince McMahon himself for a new push. McMahon wanted to reward DiBiase for the “DiBiase posse” gimmick where he tailgates with fans before shows, puts photos on twitter, etc. The idea with DiBiase and Ryder is to reward people for coming up with original ideas to get over.

They missed the boat on DiBiase a few years ago when they didn't turn him babyface against Orton when they were in Legacy.

Why does Punk sound more like he's in the main event match with Rock at WM28 than Cena? Punk is selling me on a match that we'll probably never see, more than Cena is selling me on a match that has been booked for 8 months now.

It's not like HHH is wrong, though.

The problem is they aren't clever enough to find a good role for him other than random Legend comedy spot. He worked well as the commissioner for a while without needing to be seen as tough.

Crazy talk. His run with Edge at Wrestlemania was great, and he was serious through the whole thing. The match was awesome too.

Yeah, I jokingly mentioned that a few pages back.

I don't think they can have Goldust return to his old character in today's WWE. They had him in an angle with Ted Dibiase and Maryse recently. It was built up that Maryse had a secret admirer. Then it turned out that the admirer wasn't after Maryse but after Ted. Then when it was revealed to be Goldust, it was further clarified that he wasn't after Ted but after his gold Million Dollar Championship.

Raw had a 3.24 rating with an average of 4.72 million viewers, compared to a 3.25 with 4.74 million for last week's 3-hour show.

In the segment-by-segment, the show opened with a 3.66 quarter, which ended up being the high point of the show, for C.M. Punk’s interview with John Laurinaitis coming out. Alberto Del Rio vs. Zack Ryder lost 882,000 viewers. That is one telling number which tells the difference between cult over and real over. And it doesn’t do Del Rio’s stock any favors either. Sheamus vs. Jack Swagger and the Kevin Nash interview gained 120,000 viewers. Cody Rhodes vs. Santino Marella and Rhodes’ angle with Booker T lost 104,000 viewers. C.M. Punk vs. Dolph Ziggler gained 197,000 viewers which is somewhat weak for that segment of the show. Kofi Kingston vs. Wade Barrett lost 485,000 viewers. The final segment with John Cena, The Miz and R-Truth gained 1,125,000 viewers, a huge success, and did a 3.65 overrun.

Punk Ziggler was the highlight of the show

I hope I outlive Cena's career. I dream of a day where I don't have to see his face on my tv screen. I don't think I have despised anyone more in the history of wrestling.

I've never liked Ziggler's Twitter name being "HEELZiggler" either. Comes off like mark crap.

That and his 'legal disclaimer speed-talking' delivery needs to go as well. Then again, when you're being cut off by your own entrance music, I guess I can understand why he has to rush to get everything out.

Heh, so it looks like the majority of viewers do what I do. Intro promo, tune out, and then tune back in for the ending.

I didn't even watch the ending of raw this week. Too lazy to get up. What happened? Truth is suspended cause he failed his drug test? Same old shit with Cena?

Its kind of impressed Del Rio vs Ryder lost that many viewers.... the match was only 5 minutes long.

The match sucked, the booking sucked. No reason to watch it at all.

Punk vs Ziggler didn't gain many viewers because they knew Punk would win.

That's the problem with booking. They feed guys (even midcard champions) to the top guys. OF COURSE nobody is going to care no matter how good the match is.
