Raw Viewership for 4/28:

hour 1: 4.512
hour 2: 4.667
hour 3: 4.652

Avg: 4.610

Wow a big bounce back. Up 500,000 from last week. Crappy basketball games plus Daniel Bryan being back helps.

Third hour was actually the highest rated cable hour of the night. That's really good. Bryan being back helped a ton, as did the Evo/Shield angle of course.

Batista doing the job he needed to do + suits + ability = #1

EDIT: Naito's REALLY been growing on me lately, I watched that match from earlier this year with Naito vs Ishii and man, I love that. Then I watched Nak vs Ibushi from the G1 Climax and was reminded which match was better :p

Triple H and the entire Evolution angle is great for the Shield to cut their teeth on. I'm really looking forward to how they work this all out, it's a heck of a rub and you can tell they're all working on putting the Shield over in some way or helping break them out.

Forgive my demanding nature but, ability?! how to pull off the heat magnet that he is? I guess.
 
Welcome to the Stardust side, Boootaaaay. Pick up your weird facemask at the valet.

He's really had a great start to the year, very hard to deny that. The two NEVER title matches with Ishii and the Okada match would all rank in my top 10 for the year so far and he's also been involved in some awesome multi-man matches with the other heavy hitters of New Japan. Honestly, I'm glad to see he's turning things around.

It'd be a much better rub if Bateaster wasn't whatever it is he is now. He's been doing a full schedule since the end of January. It is now the end of April. He still is getting blown up during PROMOS.

Current Extreme Rules Card - tell me what you feel as far as interest goes for the show:

WWE World Heavyweight Championship:
- Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Kane NEGATIVE INTEREST

Faction vs. Faction:
- Evolution vs. The Shield HIGH INTEREST

WWE Intercontinental Championship:
- Big E. (c) vs. Rob Van Dam or Bad News Barrett SOLID INTEREST

WWE Divas Championship:
- Paige (c) vs. Tamina Snuka MILD INTEREST

Steel Cage Match:
- John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt LOW INTEREST

Handicap Match:
- Alexander Rusev vs. R-Truth & Xavier Woods LOW INTEREST

Pre-Show "WeeLC Match":
- Hornswoggle vs. El Torito MILD INTEREST

Rumored:
- Rob Van Dam vs. Cesaro vs. Jack Swagger or Rob Van Dam vs. Jack Swagger NEGATIVE INTEREST

I'm not interested in Kane vs Bryan because it isn't GOING anywhere. I don't want to see Rusev vs Truth and Woods because I feel like I've seen it enough already. I have solid interest in Bang Nude Barruh vs Biggy, because BNB is going to get his goddamn title he deserves. I'm highly interested in Shield vs Evolution to see how this shapes up. Good stuff. Paige vs Tamina should be ok, but I'd much rather see Paige defending against someone else, I guess. Feels like I've seen it before.

He always has, though. Same ol' Bateaster.

Cena/Wyatt feels like Wyatt was booked to win at WM, but Vince at the last minute got scared and wanted to send the kids home happy. So Cena wins, but they decide to stick with the plan as if Wyatt won. Nothing about this booking makes me believe Cena won at WM.

I only want to see Evolution vs Shield... so yeah not getting or staying hyped for Xtreme Rules.

Don't need to see Bray/Cena again ffs, though Bray better fucking win this time.

Court Bauer said there'll be exclusive limited merch for NJPW/RoH shows. FallingEdge BathroomLee and all the others, bring those wallets stacked fat. Might be a challenge for Bronson.
 
Must pray to the wrestling gods that Kane and Bryan feud doesn't continue. If it does, just please just explore the history of those two and TWO ONLY. Have Stephanie be with Evo, maybe a romance angle with Reigns or Titty Master, anything but Bryan.
 
Recognizing Cena's God given talents is the sign of a true student of the business. People that can't see it become angry and result to name calling like "gimmick poster" or "alt acct" to save face.

I'm sick of people here throwing out terms like, "work rate", "bury", and "push" as though they have the slightest clue what they're talking about. Your $10 Observer subscription doesn't mean horse dung to me. A fool and his money are soon parted.

Steph should be the fourth member of Evolution. That'd be perfect. I want them to have a year-long reign of terror, old-school heel style. I know Triple H understands that kind of thing. Batista will follow suit and Orton can learn. Just a reign of goddamn terror, then they go out in a blaze of glory.

WeeLC deserves more than a mild!

They bungled Cesaro in record time, def negative interest if he's facing RDV and Swagger... he might as well have a feud with the Big Show.

They better turn Sheamus because he is doing nothing right now. He is not on the pay per view.

It's a shame that one month after Mania, nobody really wants to see the main event with Bryan.

I know I said the chase is better than the catch but this is unusually shitty. And I even really like Kane.

Kane's story would be so much better if they focused the feud over their breakup from Hell No, or who knows what.

The "Kane is pure evil!" Storyline must be in an "Incase of emergency, break glass" in the writers room. They always go to it when they run out of ideas, and it's always shit.
 
We all talk about Sandow getting buried, but man, Titus somehow got an even shorter end of the stick last night.

Going down in just 1 brogue kick after beating the shit out of Sheamus for a few minutes :lol

And bless his heart, Kane goes all out and does the best he can with what he's being given. It's a shame that Taker's last match wasn't against Kane, and they're trotting him out for this because they don't have anything obvious.

Fuck. Bryan's gotta escape this forming vortex...

At least then he had so much majesty and striations. Now he looks sawft and like he sees Cortney Cox's doctor.


Fuck this Kane angle. Awful, awful idea for that to be Bryan's first feud after WM. Almost the worst possible direction they could have gone that didn't involve Big Show.

Titus at least got offense in, when was the last time you can remember Sandow getting offense in?

isn't that what you want breh??? All jokes aside, they are in serious risk in making his title reign Benoit/Punk 2.0. I know Bryan has had personal issues in the midst of his title reign but they need something. I hate to say it but Eric Young is looking to be a better champion than Bryan at this very moment.

Anyway, How are AJ Styles' chances at the G1 if he isn't getting the strap come ROH Invasion (pray)
