Toplle H's is doing the job for Bork, I hate that egomaniac's shit just as much as anyone else (ruined my CM Punk 
) but trust me.... it is happening.

OMG she's wearing an Indiana shirt. Hotness +1,000,000 Desire +500,000Serena was crazy
crazy hot
I want to apologize to the King of Games for having to ditch the WTF Show while he was making me into a unicorn. I was looking forward to hanging out, but I didn't realize the party started so late. The curse of being on the East Coast and working 10 hour days.
Watched Raw this morning. Thought it was pretty good, other than Teddy apparently just giving up and going tag match crazy. They worked out well in the end though. I was kind of hoping that AJ would swerve back to Bryan, and I'm still hoping she gets to face Layla for the Diva's Championship at MitB. Would be great for her and Bryan to walk out as champions together.
Wai Thing is great.
But the thing I see is most people like AJ, but are either feeling the angle is taking up too much time or are dissapointed Punk and Bryan don't get a single match without interference. I get what they're saying, though I don't particularly agree with it. Wrestling is storyline-based, we had a straight-up bout already (not counting their Raw matches earlier in the year) two PPV's ago, so if they get 20 minutes and an angle-based ending for the last few minutes I'm just as fine.
Also, I don't get the "this feud should be about the title" discussion (that happens more often), how boring would wrestling be if it was just about the title all the time. The match is still about the title, just the storyline surrounding it isn't. Bryan still wants to be WWE Champion badly, and if he has to kiss AJ's butt to get it, he will. That's good enough for me. If all feuds were, YOU HAVE THE TITLE AND I WANT IT! I would be bored out of my mind two weeks into the feud.
But hey, to each his own. One has to respect the work AJ has put in, and I can understand that if you're not digging the character as much as somebody like me is that these past shows with alot of AJ-segments are a bit of a downer.

HBK has the lord in his life, he doesn't need that kinda stuff anymore!
AJ's "Yes!"'s are starting to sound like a little dog barking lol, especially when shes running and doing them.
The highlight for me was far and away D-Bry and Jericho going at it with their catch phrases lol, f**k it give Bryan the belt then feed him to Cena then let him and Jericho go on a comedy club tour. I'd go! Just skip Brazil and they'll be fine.

For storyline purposes lets pretend it was when Jericho brutally mauled his eye, but as for the real answer I have no idea.
Hey remember how that feud had that unsanctioned match at Unforgiven which had no rules only to end abruptly because HBK was beating Jericho into oblivion which kind of goes against the entire no rules point, but Jericho was also well enough later in the night to win the WHC by inserting himself into the Scramble match after champion Punk was pointlessly removed from the equation backstage by Orton for no real reason in a plot that wasn't followed up on until last year.
And also HHH fought off such devastating smackdown stars as THE Brian Kendrick in the SD scramble....my word that ppv was a mess, oddly memorable but an absolute mess. On a side note Kendrick is one of the few wrestlers I just outright dislike.

I bet it's burnt.
That's the way she likes it.
He has always had it. you can spot it if you look at his old promos from the 90s. Just not as much.

Even I want some of that cake. I bet he likes to use loads of sugar.
Well assuming Smackdown is filmed before RAW, that ensures a dead/burnt out crowd for RAW next week.

Can you imagine if that happened on a night after they move to 3 hours? That would be 5 hours of shit, and that's not including all the pre-show stuff.
Separate shows.

They used to film Raw+Smackdown at the same time fairly regularly, not a big deal-do.
This should really just be playing at all times when she's in the ring, it's the Natural Born Killaz of a new generation.

WHY is raw moving to 3 hours? Did they learn NOTHING from WCW?
So one show will start off early like at 6 or 7 and then the next show starts at 8 or 9?
Damn, that's going to be hard on the SuperStars!
Networks pay them extra and it costs them next to nothing.
If it doesn't work out, they move back to 2 hours in a few months.
I'm sure the Great Khali will be fine.
Just had an idea. What if one of the MitB winners cashes in the contract after Punk Vs Bryan and AJ is forced to be the ref and count the pin.
OK, just remembered Kane is in one of the MitB matches. It all makes sense now!
Wait, did someone here mention that idea already? I'm not in the mood to look back at the rest of the thread.

Why would AJ be forced to ref?
Lol, you think the WWE is that smart with this storyline? They're speeding it up to get to Cena/Punk.
Kane doesn't want her, man. Let it go, lol.
Wouldn't it be funny if Cena cashes it, but she refuses to count, so he ends up losing?
He means if the person comes out immediately at the end of the match, since she would still be the ref in the ring or something.

Basically this. Do you know the amount of paperwork it takes just to allow someone who doesn't own a regular referee's license to special guest ref in one match? There's no way they would include any clause in a Money In The Bank contract which would make provisions to allow for AJ to make the count.
What a ridiculous notion.
Maybe she interferes and stops the count? Who knows?
I wonder how they'll get to Punk/Cena at SS. Who will Bryan face? Where am I? Who's got my false teeth?
So you're saying Cena is going to run in with Robinson over his shoulder? I can live with that.

Oh my goodness, Serena was so amazing. The things I wanted to do..... but thats not PG and now shes gone.
I don't even understand why DDP, he is awesome but hardly relevant to a Raw celebration lol. All it does is remind us how piss-poor the RKO looks. DDP still hits the Diamond Cutter like a pro.
Can't be that hard to find some old guy who was on Raw for a bit more significantly. :\
Also for those who thought todays mixed tag match was 'random', make sure you tune in to see what that doodle-stained clamballoon Teddy has planned for Smackdown lol. HUGE CHEMISTRY IN THAT TEAM! :|
He was pretty relevant to the wrestling industry though.

I WANT TO BELIEVE!
But it wont happen and Wrasslegaf would cry if it did, bonus tears for if D Bryne was the winner getting cashed in on.
Well except that may happen anyway except with good old Cena.
Actually what do we expect Cena to do with his money in the suitcase when he no doubt wins it? a sneaky cash in viewed as heroic because it's on a heel? (see above).
Or a Punk rematch for Summerslam where Cena does an RVD and specifies a match using his case?
Wild card theory: Part of me has a terrifying feeling that WWE aren't done with Show/Cena, Show wins the case, takes the belt back from a newly crowned Bryan as a callback to how Bryan won it off Show at TLC and then Cena is somehow the one facing Show at Summerslam because he's the only one who can stop the Big Show and wins the belt as well, Show plummets down the card in Kane like fashion.

What's crazier is that Smackdown is the one leading into MitB. They'll have a dead crowd after all that Raw and tired wrasslers. I don't know, sounds pretty rough.
