You don't need a Title to tell good stories. Unfortunately only the top superstars get the best stories these days. Old WWE had better storylines for those not in the "main event." I don't think things will change but it be nice to throw the lower card a bone or two. Not like I'm going to stop watching either way.

Fell asleep before the start of Raw last night, but after watching it and seeing Cena ask for one more match, my mind said WM28 and I LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL...but I understand Rock is filming a movie so he needs to get the prior obligation out of the way first, but this was was never going to be at one of there regular PPV...

Dork Knight said:I just read the WrestlingObserver's Raw Report and a comment at the end reminded me of something that really bothered me about Cena's promos lately. Here's the snippet:
I thought the same thing last night. You'd think that Cena would be oh, I don't know, PISSED at the Rock for screwing him out of the title, but he was all happy go lucky. Doesn't make any sense. Shame Rock has to pretend to pander to him now, too.
I went from wanting to see Rock kick his ass to not caring at all. Good job, WWE!
This is incorrect, as Cena even said in the promo if The Rock didn't get invovled the match would have ended in a draw, meaning he wouldn't have been champion anyway.
Hope Cena wins a WM28, Rock coming back has so far been a let down for me and took the focus away from the rest of WreslteMania.

Kinda like how I don't give a shit about him beating The Rock! Ah! It makes sense now.

It would seem like a waste to make Cena/Rock for the title since The Rock obviously won't be around to defend it if they actually let him win (like that's gonna happen -- lolololol!). I imagine this is going to be more like Hogan/Rock where the importance of the match transcends the title. Like everyone is saying: Cena doesn't give a shit about the title! Why add it?

They booked themselves into a bit of a corner there, with the double count out. The Rock didn't technically cost Cena anything.
They probably should have had Rock interfere earlier causing the Miz to win by dq....but then that makes the Miz look weak......christ I got nothin.

The simplest way would have been Rock's music to hit, him walk out distracting Cena and then Miz hits the SCF for the win, then Rock enters and Peoples Elbow to Cena to end the show.
Miz looks strong, but Rock distraction costs Cena.
Predictable but no worst than the real ending

Anyone got a link to a rerun of Tough Enough?
I went to bed after RAW last night but still want to watch it. Cheers in advance.

The Daniel Bryan vs John Morrison vs Miz match was pretty good, I think it was a Submissions Count Anywhere match.

You have to remember. Cena is Cena. He's always the #1 contender.

Non wrestling related, follow @cher. Seriously. She has no idea how to use twitter and posts strange and hilarious ramblings

i was thinking about Austin's question on Tough Enough about favorite matches
i remember watching the Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon ladder match but I have fond memories of watching Shawn vs Bret in an Iron Man match at Wrestlemania 12 on a primitive portable television because the power was out
i remember it most probably because it was so damn long lol

I watched the Tough Enough.
I don't really watch much tv except for the news, sportscenter and the longest running show in entertainment history.
The show just seemed extremely scripted. I can't stand reality tv shows but at least the footage looks dirty/raw (using a normal camera not some Melrose Place film cameras). Like the lighting when Stone Cold would open the door looked fake.
And are they admitting wrestling is fake? Also, hopefully, the character's personalities will begin to shine more. Only the females really got over. You kind of got an idea of party boy, work hard boy, male chauvinist pig and Afro.
Also, it needs more Booker saying that's my Dawg. And male students trying to hit on Trish.

I haven't seen Tough Enough yet but it shouldn't be that surprising. Reality shows aren't really as raw or unscripted as they want you to think. Plus I think one of the dirt sheets said that this was going to be more scripted than the previous seasons.
Also the whole "wrestling is fake" thing has been an open secret since at least the mid 90's. Although a better term to use would be scripted.

I want ever so badly to like wrestling again, but every time I've tried in the last 5 years I've been horribly disappointed.
Last night was no exception. : /

I really liked Josh on TE. Its a shame they haven't used him in a wrestler capacity. I do like him on commentary though.
