The GM stuff is more entertaining than everything to be honest.
Johnny Ace is the best superstar in the WWE right now.

The GM storyline actually looks to have something at stake when it comes down to it, Mr Tag Team match and Mr Excitement actually act like they have genuine animosity towards each other, unlike say the forced stakes of Cena/Rock.
"If I lose to Rock all my accomplishments are null and void forever!", yes I guess that's one way to skip around the lack of a title, it's also complete codswallop.
I'm looking at WM with cautious optimism because everything outside of the two big attractions look solid to me, Rock/Cena and Taker/HHH should be able to deliver on the night but the build ups are nothing but promo wars, the better of which seems to have abandoned one of the actual match participants for the meantime, I hope Taker actually shows up again soon because this HHH/HBK stuff does nothing for me aside from hype up those smuggling banana shorts for WM.

None of the matches are really getting strong built, I think. Rock-Cena has been awfully underwhelming, and is obviously a ploy by Vince. Let's pay the rising movie star, former wrestler, Dwayne Johnson, big bucks to "return" to the ring and elevate the status of one John Cena. Color me bored, and fuck off Vince.
Punk-Jericho will surely be the top match in terms of quality, but it also has been a bit dull overall (granted I did not watch all of last night's show yet but prior weeks have shown me little outside the confrontation last week). Jericho would call out Punk, who comes out only to raise his title. Uh, ok.
Taker-HHH. All I need to know from this is Triple H's statement of "You have won the battle, Undetaker, but I won the war!". No you didn't, asshole.
Kane-Orton is... uh, completely unnecessary and would've served better purpose for others. Rhodes, who I will mention next, should be matched against Orton as it makes sense in terms of brand and status. Neither had a feud coming out of the the EC, why not? Better than this shit, and a win at WM over Orton would've been much better than what both will be doing on this show. Kane jobbing to Cena and Orton on back-to-back PPV's, terrific stuff.
Rhodes-Show. I'm hoping Rhodes goes over, but they keep harping this win loss record for Show. I also have a feeling they'll push Rhodes to RAW after the draft and he'll dwell in the midcard until the RAW team gives him a random push and he'll get jobbed to Punk or Cena.

Reminds me of Jimmy Fallon from years ago on SNL. Fucker stop looking at the camera and do your job. Then again, Fallon is probably a better actor than John.

bad gameplay lol
Anyone else notice last night that Kane STILL puts up a knee when landing from an RKO? Makes the move look sloppy as hell.

Would it be too much for them to have billed it as a Generation v Generation match for Rock/Cena? You know like Rock v Hulk - Icon v Icon.
Mr. Luchador
Member
Well, yeah, that's what I was thinking too. They'd have to try and hype this generation which has been a decade of John Cena with guest appearances from Chris Benoit, Randy Orton, Kurt Angle, JBL and Eddie Guerrero.
Meanwhile, the already forgotten, eleventh-times world champion weeps on his way to the HoF.

Matt Hardy didn't win the title that many times. tut.
Really enjoying the whole HHH vs UNDERTAKER vs HBK storyline. I know no one here likes it because of their disdain for the King of Kings, but lets face it... a video package with a broom reenacting Hunter's greatest moments would get more ratings than anything the straight edge vegans can conjure up. And I understand people being upset with Trips taking Punk's spotlight, but CM would never would have gotten over if he didn't have someone as awesome as the Cerebral Assassin to shoot on. Who else was he going to shoot on? Teddy Long? Please.... Plus, I blame that whole debacle not on The Game, but Big Daddy Cool. HHH being the gracious person that he is gave his old buddy another opportunity to shine and he blew it. Nash you were not sweet at all.. You were sour Bro! And yet, think about this.. if it wasn't for that feud, we would have never been introduced to the greatest interim RAW manager of all time ...JOHNNY ACE! Once again, Triple H delivers!
But enough about Triple H. I want to talk about HHH+Undertaker+HBK. I like the fact that they finally have some continuity in their story lines from one Mania to the other. Everyone complains about the WWE never having any, but here you have it. Thinking back I was a big fan of the build up to the HBK rematch with him losing the Rumble and figuring out a way back into the Spotlight. Yeah it was cool and thought out, and I'm sure Trips must have had some input. So anyhow, we're set for one of the greatest matches once again. Get hyped!

Er, Vince MacMahon? Punk had already been shooting on him and had a wealth of material left.

basically undertaker vs triple h =
1. triple h has taker beat but Shawn cannot do the count because triple h did what he couldn't so either triple h fights Shawn instead till taker recovers then taker tombstones triple h and wins.
or
2. triple h has taker beat but shawn cannot do the pin and walks out.
thats pretty much what i get from how its going

They're setting up a Shawn Michaels vs Triple H match next year aren't they. I can see it coming already.
Maybe those cops like Wild and Young.

If the move involves landing on his head Kane will always put a knee up, see the way he takes a pedigree for example. Look forward to a fumbling RKO out of nowhere somewhere down the line.
One of the founding fathers of Ring of Honor, Bryan Danielson fought to earn his reputation as one of the best wrestlers in the world from day one and helped put ROH on the wrestling map. Crisp technical wrestling, vicious submissions, and fierce strikes are just some of the hallmarks Danielson brings to the table every time he enters the squared circle. It was those attributes that eventually brought him to the ROH World Title and helped establish a reign that will forever stand tall in ROHs history books.
With battles against AJ Styles, CM Punk, Austin Aries, Jushin Liger & Jay Briscoe, amongst many others, this 2-Disc set is a look at 13 of the best matches from the early years of Bryan Danielson's ROH career. From his Epic Encounter with Paul London to the beginning stages of Bryans historic ROH World Championship run, these matches are part of what define him as an ROH Legend. This is Bryan Danielson, this is wrestling, this is The American Dragon

If you think you would enjoy Rock dumping Cena's Merch in the river, then yes.
Trips was on the show too!
That and the tag match was the only redeeming part of the show. It was a waste of time, and I even watched it on Youtube.
So hang on, how did Zack Ryder go from having a broken back, to wearing every kind of brace imaginable for weeks, to getting pushed of the ramp and shattering his knees in a wheelchair to limping with just one crutch (poorly I might add, It's like he can't decide on how to limp so he limps five different ways with each step he takes) in just a few weeks of time.
WWE really needs to stop overselling their fake injuries, not even the 6 year olds are buying this injury.
Also, the only two logical fueds for Ryder into Wrestlemania are now seemingly gone. Kane is going into a meaningless Orton fued and Swagger just lost the title he "stole" from him, what a waste of two potential fueds that actually could've had some kind of significance.

I'm usually positive about most RAW shows (probably because Punk makes it all worth it for me) but damn, this one was bad.
No Punk/Jericho promo, tons of awful promos by Cena and Rock and the only fun part was Santino burying Jack Thwagger.
You know you suck when you job to Santino.

I figure they want Orton to embrace the hate too. I mean it's not the most awesome thing, but Kane can come out flaunting how he made Cena embrace the hate feuding with Rock, and now he has to do the same with Orton who has completely lost his edge. You know.. something.
You forgot Eve vs Kellyx2 w/ Zack Ryder as referee.

Nobody cares about Zack Ryder.
If Ryder pulls off the flying crotchman to Eve the whole thing may be redeemed.
Jack Swagger? That's not a big deal. Miz on the other hand is beyond pathetic. He'll be lucky to get a Wrestlemnia dark match.
My assumption was he would interfere in Rock/ Cena's match but now I think he's really in the shitter.
Edit: I think they should do a new segment every Raw. "And now...Deep Thoughts with John Cena"
He's already hearing the voices in his head that tell him to start pounding on the mat and beat up everyone that happens to be in the ring though.
RKO's everywhere!
Jericho, that sly devil!
Kane was hearing voices in his head when Orton was still in diapers.
Perhaps next week they can open with a three-way debate moderated by King. R-Truth's Little Jimmy vs. Orton's talking snakes and Kane's Fire Demon's.
Should prove for some exciting television.
I'm in.
I laughed when people suggested him to interfere in that match. Worst idea ever. I mean, a Stone Cold, Undertaker or even a CM Punk interference I could see, but MIZ? Come on son. It's Miz. It's not that he sucks (he does), it's more the fact that he sucks.
We haven't even done Mania yet...but it's time for a look at the next PPV Extreme Rules Poster!
