UT, HHH and HBK couldn't even be bothered showing up for the Raw before WM.

I'm in, Sting vs Hogan will be better than this Big Show.

lol that was such a meta promo, he basically explained to everyone why he will factually win business wise.

First WM and now this Big Show, I think Vince is just trolling Georgia now. It's the new Oklahoma.

Yea, that is so shit
e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn6evTlk0EM (Austin - Rock WM 17)
Simple fucking buildup
Or, if for a match that is based on a personal feud:

Of course having JR helps immensely.

Remember when Snooki was the highlight of last years WM?
I'm starting to have my doubts.

Good promo? They both said the same shit they have been saying for a year! Nothing progressed one bit.

Seriously, I'm done with this shit after Sunday/Monday. I'm sure they'll have a rematch to announce the night after Wrestlemania for either next year or Summerslam or whatever.
Wrestling is dead, it really is. I don't even know what the fuck happened for it to get to this point, it's as if every single person backstage or with any knowledge of the history of wrestling forgot everything single thing to build a show. This, for three months, from the Rumble to now really - it's all been shit.
Instead of building a feud with action and crazyness, they basically just have the philosophy now, that less is more, and absolutely nothing is perfect. It's all so empty, pretty damn sad.

I remember when WrestleGAF was ready to burn the place down until she started hitting her spots.
So Orton is Shane and he buys TNA?
What an anticlimax to end the show on.
Such a weird Raw in general. The GM Match got by far the most time.
Jericho once again only via satellite and gives a weirdly abrupt promo. Punk only talks for 10 seconds in a backstage interview.
There's no real story for Bryan/Sheamus.
Only a video package for Taker/HHH but I guess they were running out of things to say for that match.
Best part of the show by far was Cody's promo,
Rock and Cena weren't terrible but it's the same stuff they've been saying for weeks now.

FYI for those who were wondering why RVD was trending, Paul E has been doing a contest on Twitter all night giving away freee shit, and a lot of RVD shit, even an autographed One Night Stand chair.

Worst part is that Wrestlemania will DO a million + buys and Vince will think he has struck gold.

Now we know why Orton started using the Angle Slam a year ago.

I can't believe there was no Cena/Rock pull apart brawl.

You know, wrestling started going down the shitter when Steph was put at the helm of creative. Her and those soap opera writers basically have no fucking clue what they are doing. Now it's even worse because they are even admitting the product is shit in promos like they did tonight. Thanks for telling me wrestling isn't cool Cena. That makes me want to watch it even more!

Vince is terrified of one of them getting injured before WM.

Ending to the go home show prior to Wrestlemania x8
They seemed to handle things a little differently back then.

I know what you mean.
The scene of Austin and Rock slamming beer cans together with that song will always represent the height of my wrestling fandom. It's been all downhill since then though.

Keeping people apart is actually one of the better ways to build buy rates. Why pay for the PPV if Jericho & Punk or Hunter & Taker or Rock & Cena have been physically pummeling each other for weeks on end? You guys must not remember the early days of Raw or the original WWF Superstars with local talent fighting the Superstars while the only build to PPV matches was in The Kings Court or The Heartbreak Hotel or in a little split screen promo while one guy was walking to the ring...
Cody cut a promo saying Big Show will become a verb meaning to fail, or choke, or an insulting noun. It ended with "I gotta take a Big Show".
It seems to have caught on quick

You must not remember the Attitude Era.
In any case, you can't put two guys who say they hate each other, want to win this match for weeks in a row and not have any physical confrontation. You can't have a build up to a personal fight like that.

So, everyone who retires from wrestling betrays the business. That's a nice message to send to anyone who might have been interested in the Hall of Fame. But Cena has no plans to betray the WWE; I guess he expects to go out like Raoh from HnK with one massive energy fist-pump towards the sky? Either way, harsh words from Cena - except he's smiling near the end, so it's all warm snuggles and fuzzies!
I can't believe I ran home to catch the last segment of Raw. That's 10 minutes of my life, gone; I'd say 15, but my eyes kind of glazed over near the end. I think I'll skip Wrestlemania and just skim over WrassleGaf's reactions to get the gist of the event.
