I liked that finish. No need to invent some new wacky finisher for Bryan. Obviously they're not going to have Punk lose by submission unless it's against Cena. So a nice stiff kick to the head knocking Punk out was pretty cool. Maybe they can elevate the fake power level of Bryan's kick to Tajiri kick territory and it can function like a finisher sometimes.
Actually, they do that alot... It's the "one person gets distracted so whatever move is used against them knocks them the fuck out of 2 minutes"
Bryan will make Punk tap out.
Also, since it's still relevant to June:

I liked this weeks Raw. JC with the humor in regards to Big Show and John L. Good stuff.
I'm behind Ziggler. I want him to rise into WWE Championship ranks and I believe he will get there soon. I starting to get tired of AJ now. It's like she is getting annoying.
I fucking love CM Punk and his entrance. Cult of Personality by Living Colour is awesome as fuck. Good song!
Sid didn't get any love. Still looks good after 15 years.

Of course Punk would never tap to Bryan's gruesome YES Lock, Cattle Mutilation or guillotine, he'd only tap to Cena's shitty STF.
Because Cena is the real submission expert here.
You wanna talk gruesome?!
I'm tapping out just looking at that!
Clearly his mighty biceps are crushing Mcgillibuddy's neck, as in proper STF form.

Yeah I know. I guess I just liked it because it's one of Bryan's signature moves and it really looks like it would lay someone out. It's a lot better than "oh surprise rollup!" like I'm supposed to believe the distraction makes you somehow unable to escape the rollup pin even though it almost never works in a real match. Or like I'm supposed to believe pulling someone's pants down gives you more leverage to pin them with.
One other minor thing I wanted to mention. I noticed on Smackdown that when Dolph applies a headlock or rear chinlock on Sheamus, he sells it, struggles to get up, and then hammers on Dolph with body blows to escape. In the Jericho/Cena match last night, Cena just uses his never give up muscles to break the hold. I know this is a great opportunity to once again discuss how much Cena sucks, but I wonder. Should more power guys be doing it like that, or should everyone just do punches or go for a back body drop? I think it's something that contrasts the difference in styles and would show when a wrestler has a clear strength advantage.
What you don't like history making announcements?
This is worse then HBK going out of his way to win the European title because he never one it despite the fact that title was as low on the pecking order as you can get at the time.

The strangest thing about Raw last night was that I agreed with a point King was making. There really should have been a "None of the above" option in the "Hey Twitter, who should AJ fuck?" bullshit they were running.
There was literally a "She should have a foursome with them" option, but no "hey maybe none of these guys are good for her" option.
Cena has never won the main event of In Your House!
He's also never won the Terri Invitational Tournament, The Thuggin and Buggin Rodney Mack's 5 minute white boy challange, the Kurt Angle Invitational...
Every fucking wrestler should be doing that. I still don't see why nobody goes out there and just legitimatly kicks Cena in the face for not selling anything. If a new guy came in and no-sold as much as Cena did he wouldn't go a night without getting busted open.
Well I guess if someone legit stiffed Cena they'd be on Smackdown or fired within the week, so that would explain that. Come to think of it, this is probably were most of Lesnar's heat comes from.
If I was eating right now food would be all over my screen and keyboard.
don't forget the gold rush challenge.
(Sidenote: HBK vs Shelton Benjamin Gold Rush tournament is probably my favorite match in RAW history. Crowd was totally into it. Lawler and JR were totally into it. Lawler marked out at the ending spot. I marked out at the ending spot. I think it's the only time Shelton and HBK wrestled each other)
A one-hour small sized show with 3 solid wrestling matches, I can see it working just fine.
Sure, it won't draw 2.0 Smackdown or 3.0 Raw ratings, but it should be able to rival Impact's ratings and that's enough for a low cost show that is shot before Raw/Smackdown.
Though, I'm unfamiliar with this channel, is it widely available?

It's stuff like that which makes me appreciate Sheamus a whole lot more - people have complained that Dolph is being fed to Sheamus, but Sheamus has given Dolph a surprising amount of offence and let him dictate large portions of their matches. Sure, we know Sheamus isn't losing to Dolph anytime in the near future, but just by selling his offence and allowing him to look competent and dangerous, regardless of the size difference, Sheamus is helping to elevate Dolph, and that's the difference between a good face champion and a schmuck like Cena.
Their matches are good and Sheamus always looks like he worked hard to overcome Dolph, it's just the repetitive nature of Dolph losing (and in the same way) that's annoying me.
Sheamus suffers from a dull face character that's as vanilla and pandering as you can get for the kids, but his actual in ring work has been top notch during his reign. Lack of storylines, dull/corny promos and whatnot are what's killing his reign, which are booking problems. With Cena....EVERYTHING is bad, and much of it rests on his shoulders, not just the Super Cena booking.
Not sure if posted yet, AJ on Marvel's The Watcher: http://marvel.com/news/story/18945/watch_the_watcher_2012_-_episode_11
He's also never been Intercontinental champion. Cena will bury Christian and break out the Honk-o-meter.

Sheamus is to WWE as Elgin is to ROH. They aren't as polished as everyone around them, so their offence doesn't look nearly as crisp but feels very solid and real. In their matches they also always seem to take a ton of punishment, like they allow their opponents to work stiffer than they normally would.
It usually is. It's a network that's gotten huge over the years. To find out if you carry it just go to there site and at the top put in your zip code.

It has been a while since we had a stiff main event guy. His match with Tensai was stiff as hell (and was on the same show as Vader if I recall, which is fitting)
Heh, pretty sure I won't get it in Holland.
Sorta funny story: When I was on my US Road Trip a couple of years ago, I went to a Safeway to stock up.
btw, who thought off the no-tax and cheaper prices for card holders? That's dumb.
That's just weird guys.
Here is the youtube link incase that player is crapping out on others as it's doing to me :/

Sounds similar to how Superstars originally was when they had guys like Undertaker and Jericho on the show.
It'll probably turn out the same way. They'll put some actual effort into the show for the first few months before it turns into Superstars 2.0.

It will turn in to Superstars within a few months, for sure. They don't have the roster any more and they already have folks working Raw and SD, now you're gonna have them work a match before SD as well? Don't think so.
Will be annoyed to no end if cena wins mitb. incapable of beating punk, he goes after the mitb to have a sure chance of winning the wwe title.
sycho sid was alright. lack of huge pop ala vader though disturbed me.
watching brodus getting beat up and then later sucker punched was highlight. hate that excuse of a wrestler.
I hope jericho makes cena tap and tap hard next time they meet.

THIS BOOKING MAKES NO SENSE
Is Punk going to lose to Bryan so Cena can cash it in??
I'm so confused by this booking. I wouldn't be surprised if WWE had no concrete plan in place.
