I fucken hope so. I really dislike his character at the moment. Give me Daniel Bryan refusing to win matches by anything other than submission. Open challenge, like The Masterpiece, but to the entire locker room.

So let's do a simple pros-cons of last night's Raw.
+ Lesnar looks like fun, kicked the hat
+ Lord Tensai is bitchin, can't wait to see another TENSAI TICKLER next week
+ Ziggler's good
+ Henry was back in his best form!
- Del Rio's return was ill-timed
- Cena's character change didn't even really start...if it will at all. Character change, folks, not heel turn
- Shouldn't Jericho have left?
Post yours.

I don't really care if Cena destroys Lesnar, as far as he keeps away from the real talent: Bryan, Ziggler, Rhodes, Barret, Del Rio.
Yes, but to point out where you mentioned Del Rio - Del Rio and Sheamus in the ring, DR cheers, Sheamus boos - yeah we know he isn't the greatest, and he squashed Daniel Bryan at the biggest WWE event of the year, but yeah.

I think he's a family man? Makes sense, since he gave his gimmick to Brodus Clay.
I like your list so I'll just go off it.
+Lesnar: very excited that he's back. F5 still looked good.
+Lord Tensai: Happy as well. Liked what I saw. But, I kind of hope they aren't giving him TKO gimmick. Wasn't that Ohno's in FCW? ...wait, Ohno/Lord Tensai Feud! They can try to go on a rampage and see who can knock out the most superstars.
+Ziggler: so good but damn! Don't break yourself being awesome.
+Great to see Henry at his best again. No more injuries, ok!
-ADR: was happy for his return. Was happy to not have to listen to anymore destiny bullshit. But, I was kind of hoping for a Daniel Bryan/Del Rio face off. I think that has potential on the mic and alot of potential in the ring. I know, two heel. But, I can dream, can't I?
-Cena: Cena, Cena never changes. *please read in Ron Pearlman's voice*
-Y2J: Yeah, what now?

I hope this is a joke post.
Doesn't he have a gym somewhere? Maybe I'm confusing him with Batista.
Either way, keep Goldberg out of my wrasslin. Fuck his streak bullshit.

Everything I said in that post is 100% true. The first time I tried watching WCW, I saw someone named "Hardcore Hank" cutting a promo, laughed my ass off at the blatant copy of Holly, then changed the channel.
Ready to Rumble is the only time I enjoyed anything from WCW.

Everything was a positive, except the Sheamus situation, looked like it was hastily put together so Sheamus wouldn't get booed in a promo.
And Cena, my god, my hate for this character is so intense, I've never seen such a horrible wrestler that cuts the same promo every time for so long.

Pros:
Lesnar
Rock
Crowd
Jericho pouring alcohol on Punk and hittin him with the bottle
Cons:
No Daniel Bryan except a few second silent backstage segment
Daniel Bryan getting bypassed for Del Rio for a world title feud.
Cena still doing his same bullshit character.
Lord Tensai debut. Think it went on too long. Plus, they should have given him a manager that can cut promos for him.
Besides the pros this was an average Raw.

Can't wait to see Beef job to Goldberg and Lesnar in a handicap match on NWA.
I'll agree with this. I'm a Jerichoholic.

Beef, we're buddies but I cannot get past this hurdle. We need to talk. About WCW. Someday. We'll work through our differences.
May I present to you a match - an if it pleaseth thee, mayhap I shall be swayed to entreat upon thyself thou ye olde WCW matches of a different flavor.

They didn't really like Del Rio so much as they liked Ricardo (both the man and what might possibly be his best ADR introduction yet), Del Rio's entrance theme, the car and chanting "SI SI SI". I'm not sure they cared for Del Rio himself much at all.
He was simply the benefactor of all of the cool amenities he brings with him and the fact that Sheamus was getting crapped on while he was in the ring.
Jericho should come out with his own brand of whiskey, Jerichohol.

I was hoping for him to be this amazing weeaboo. Still, I'm pretty happy with HIS performance. Riley...not so much. Feels like he doesn't fit just yet, surely he'll click with the right feud.

They'll both argue over who should get the pin, which is when I'll kick one of them in the crotch and roll-up the other for the win.
LOL there's no way I'm watching a Disco Inferno match. Thank goodness for the Youtube Me app.
Wow, an Eve/Kelly Kelly finish, all in one.

Know what's weird? No Impact spoilers leaked from last night's taping. Wonder if anyone showed up or if everyone went to Raw in Miami lol
The only thing about TNA to note from last night is that Steiner is no longer there. I'm sure Impact was non-eventful as always.

Jesus Beef. You are shitting on the greatest wrestling company with the richest history of all time. I may have to buy you the best of Monday Nitro.

RAW 4/2
YES's
- Jericho still in the picture!
- Henry/Punk match was great, and I'd love to see them keep working matches in the future.
- YES!
- Lesnar's back
- YES!
- Crowd
- Mark Henry's midmatch commentary has me rolling all the time. He's awesome.
NO's
- I don't understand the Sheamus/ADR thing beyond Sheamus needing someone to feud with in the short term, I guess?
- Cena's character, unless they're gonna gleefully feed him to a Brock Lesnar meatgrinder.
- WWE being so blindsided by the reaction to Daniel Bryan, and not audibling into a longer appearance (i.e. an appearance as long as his WM match).

Seems like the industry just can't keep anything a secret anymore, especially with the internet. Would have loved to see Lesnar pop up while being completely unaware of it.

I wouldn't call a wrestling company run by incompetents the "greatest."

Sounds good.
Don't remember it for how it ended, remember it for how it lived.
Everything rises and falls. Everything.
Well the Rock was kind of a surprise last year. But yeah mark outs would be even more EPIC if no one knew Lesnar was returning.
How did nobody know Rock was returning? These wrestling sites always know who is coming back etc but they didn't say anything about Rock.

Besides the obvious (YES!), Cole comparing Eve to Jane Eyre was my favorite part of the show.
The taping was last night? I thought it was tonight, or are they doing more than one night of taping shows this week?
Henry/Punk really surprised me, was a very good match and showed that with the right opponent Henry can look really good in a ring. I was impressed with how long Henry lasted in a fairly intense and fast moving match (in comparison to how matches flow with most big men).
I'm glad it seems other people feel the same way.

They always do 2 weeks of tapings each set. One on Monday and one on Tuesday. Only thing I found is Rob Van Dam returned at the tapings last night, which sucks because I thought he was leaving.

I actually liked half of Cena's promo after the "I lost but thats ok because rock is awesome" stuff
You put Cena in front of a hot crowd and let him have fun and he can be quite entertaining.
Also the more I think about it the more I am kind of sad the Rock won. It really should have been a pass the torch moment even if the crowd would have been pissed or at least it should have ended with a crazy ending that left it a draw like the lights turning off and turn back on with Rock on Lesners shoulders and he F5's him then Cena but I guess I understand why they did what they did. Having Cena lose was definetly the unexpected choice and leaves things in a interesting place for sure.
I just hope they have a plan for Rock to work with some other people on the Roster now. such a shame he was used only with Cena and Miz.
A Rock/Punk feud would be legendary. A Rock/Ziggler thing would be great as well.
Also no Triple H/Undertaker follow up was a bit dissapointing but I guess they will let Johnny go mad with power for a few weeks then have Trip's return and take over Raw.
