I'm not sure if anybody mentioned this but the crying guy in that Rock gif was at Raw. Same seats, same clothes. I don't think he left the arena.

I bet they got fined $1 while everyone laughed.
Oh yeah, and Michelle McCool also has to work a weekend of house shows as further punishment.

My dad took me to see this movie because he knew I liked wrestling. I wasn't a WCW guy back then though, so this was literally my first exposure to WCW. I think it wrongly skewed my vision of them back then, lmao.Conrad Link said:

I wonder how they plan to get Sin Cara over, exactly. He might be a big deal in Mexico, but 80% of the people watching Raw have no idea who the fuck he is and he probably just comes off as a generic masked wrestler. Worse, he can't even speak English.
Maybe they plan to actually give his televised matches some time so he'll get over on his in-ring ability? Seems like the only route they can go down.
They need to do the same shit with Daniel Bryan. Give that fucker 10-minute matches on TV on a regular basis and his lack of personality won't matter as much. And change his damn theme. I have no idea what they're trying to accomplish making him come out to Ride of the Valkyries. It's like they're trying to make him look goofy on purpose and for some reason expect he'll get over.

I may not have won the tournament but my prediction for the last match was only 4 seconds out. In my book I made it a win!

I suspect with Daniel Bryan, this is exactly what they are doing. It's like there is some sort of humbling period. The theme just doesn't do it for him. It was awesome having him slap Cole around during NXT. The WWE could benefit from a solid worker in the mid card based purely on his wrestling ability. It's his ticket to the top, a la Benoit or even Brett Hart.
Smackdown airs title matches, and has all the bigger names. Superstars usually has the lower card guys, i.e. Regal, Kidd, Santino, Dibiase, Ryder, JTG, Tatsu. Since those guys usually never get to really wrestle on the respective shows.Kyoufu said:
Oh yeah, they had a Bryan/Kim vs. Kidd/Melina match few weeks ago. It was damn good. Shame we can't get actual wrestling on RAW but instead force-fed shit with Michael Cole and other stupid shit.
How often does Bryan wrestle on RAW?Linkified said:
You listed three Smackdown stars, and it's four if you include Del Rio. You expect them to continually use those guys even if they're on a separate brand throughout the summer? RAW after Mania is also suppose to be packed with matches or concluded stories. Talk to me in late May or mid June, when it will likely be back to the usual dog shit.
I thought the lack of offense Bryan got in during that match was really odd, considering it was pretty much a postponed 'Mania match. I suppose they wanted Sheamus to look more threatening so it'd be more impressive when Sin Cara took him out.
I very much enjoyed that tag match though. Really well done.

They are going to have a voice over work for him over the PA system, like an anime narrartor during his matches and camera pans to convey emotion. They will also show scenes from Sin cara's childhood on the titantron and how he overcame the odds. next week they will tell the story of how Sin Cara was born with that mask over his head and he had to face bullies at school for luaghing at him for not being able to take off his mask. They will also show a spot where a luchador teacher at luchador school will ridicule him because he hides his true emotions behind that mask. Turns out, Sin cara is the truest of them all.Lost Fragment said:

It was a nice match. Fav part was when Orton came over to give a cheap shot to Punk in the corner and Punk jumped off at the last second. Something about the way he did it made it look like he suprised Orton. If I had to break Punk down it would be Benoit's intensity + Hart's effeciency + Jericho's intelligence + good storytelling.
Really dug that Moxley kid's promos. It felt to me a little like Sam Rockwell channeling Ledger's Joker.
From WWE press release ..
"WWE® made history again as WrestleMania®, for the second consecutive year, became the highest grossing and most attended entertainment event in the host venue. WrestleMania XXVII grossed $6.6 million, with 71,617 fans from all 50 states and 30 countries attending the sold out event at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. The annual pop-culture extravaganza was broadcast around the world on pay-per-view in more than 100 countries and 20 languages."
That number is just for the venue. Don't believe it includes PPV buys.

And there was 6 RAW superstars in matches, if Bryans merch was selling better he would be on an in turn and if he could cut a promo then he would get better merchandise.
Look at Santino, biggest comedy guy in WWE - he cuts a promo with a straight face - Bryan can't. Danielson even when doing that wacky promo with Paul London couldn't keep a straight face - even though Paul London could. NXT when doing that big heated promo against Cole his voice cracked.
