Less then six months ago, Punk and Laurinaitis opened up Raw with a promo, the same as this week. Here is the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPvFJ2dQ8Hs
We all know that they have dropped the ball on what Punk could have been last summer, but look at how great this was as recently as the end of November. The things Punk says feels natural and the back and forth between him and Laurinaitis was leagues better. Punk is now overly scripted to the point that he makes Cena look hardcore and the sad thing is, that's probably just how the WWE likes it. Pathetic.

Considering he beat Cena and Punk in the last month, that won't be any time soon

No Kane, no gain, what a spectacularly uneventful Raw.
Interest is plummeting, we need another false hope giving moment like Nexus or Punk's shoot and we need it now!

Of all the reasons to stop watching watching Raw. Like WWE Creative is suddenly going to smarten up once Tensai-sama ICHIBAN is released.
You people and your love of Future Endeavored. Bloodthirsty jackals.

Why doesn't Lesnar even try to do mic work?
Watch out world, this guy's got a quiff. You don't stand a chance.
I would have hoped it gets a 3.0 or less, but you guys keep tuning in!
I just noticed, Kofi was drafted to RAW from ECW in the 2008 WWE Draft. It's been FOUR YEARS of non-stop foolery with his booking and place in the card. Pathetic.
Eh, even then I felt the storyline was so rash and monotonous. It needed something. It just severely lacked a piece of importance, or any relative substance that made me say, "Shoot, I need to watch this!". None of that happened. The product as a whole has been shit for years. Even in the past year they've dropped the ball on: Rock's return, Brock Lesnar's return, CM Punk's "main event" boom, a decent Christian World Title run, destroyed any semblance of a tag division, and NONE of the titles have any prestige. At least in the awful, awful year of 2008 they had a decent tag division (compared to today's).

FCW is so much better than RAW at the moment.
So this many rewrites for the show they displayed last night?
- Heyman was a pleasant surprise but in today's WWE, unless it's a Philadelphia, Chicago, or New York ... you don't come out until promo'd or hyped. Punk's tweet was actually smart since it'll get the smarks to tune in. Way to not generate crowd heat.
- Punk and Tensai to close the show was an odd choice. Tensai is not a proven ratings draw at all. Daniel Bryan was added to the match during the ring entrance which means those Daniel Bryan fans probably had no idea he was going to be in the match. Another decision to lose viewership.
- Where is Dean Ambrose? Get this man on the main roster already whether it be Raw or Smackdown. I want this feud with Foley to happen.
- Can it be more evident of the E's lack of confidence in Del Rio. If you're going to be all in, be all in. Making it a 4 way now due to one match on Raw?

I see none.
The NHL Playoffs have consumed me, more or less.
It's actually funny seeing some of WrassleGAF in NHL-age

I would scratch Philadelphia.
They havent had a decent crowd there in 5 + years.
UK and canada shows always have good crowds. Shame Vince hates Canada.

Vince hates Canada largely due to those very same crowds.
He'd rather tape in front of a half-empty arena full of redneck hicks who misspell their signs than a jam-packed house in Toronto or Montreal because HE can largely control how they react.
And, to be honest, the passionate Canadian wrestling fan has largely moved on to UFC.
Ratings have dropped far more drastically north of the border than they have to the south of it.
You go to the one house show Toronto gets each year and you'll largely see a sea of Cena-loving Jimmies and their parents.
The smart fans have wisely jumped ship.

Will Brock quit again after he's 0-2?

Brock knew what was gonna happen when he signed.
Got to put over those young guys in need of a push like cena and triple H
Maybe he can feud with Lawler next, he's in dire need of a win.

He's the TNA tag team champion, so still shit. I doubt we'll see the Joe of 2004 again.

Now they just need to get him back on the booking team.
Rosa's boobs are to the right and he looks at Masons instead?
If they did this, everything would be right in the world. Seriously, I don't know what the Fuck Vince is thinking. He just needs to go away. We all know he'll be there until he's on his deathbed, or probably even until the day he dies but JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESUS he's so far gone in his concepts and understanding of his audience that he's killing his own business. FUCKDHfjkhsjkfhsdjkfhdsjk
They need to ditch the booking team concept and just hire him.

bad gameplay lol
You know, all this time, I never realized that Punk dropped the ROH Title to Jamie Noble, of all people, at the end of the Summer of Punk storyline. It's even funnier due to the fact that Noble was just making a brief stop in the indies between WWE runs. :lol

Damnit, Meltzer just mentioned a storyline idea that HHH is going to come out and threaten to sue Lesnar if he quits and they are going to have Lesnar backdown and do the match so they can get him back for winning against them in real life in court. This company.
Sheamus killed Jamie Noble, so Sheamus > ROH World Title.
The Fuck.

Oh hell yes, I'm definitely picking this up - also, the Joe/Punk shoot is hilarious and I lost my copy, so I'll be glad to see it again.
His title run was entirely a show of appreciation from ROH to Noble, as he'd become a huge fan favourite in such a short amount of time and endeared himself to everyone in the company, but it was always known he would be returning to WWE, even before he started in ROH.
It's pretty remarkable that a lot of people wouldn't even realise how much of a skilled worker Jamie Noble was, entirely due to how he was presented in WWE. James Gibson > Jamie Noble.

Sounds like a Stephanie idea to me.
No, when Lesnar left the WWE, he had a no compete clause that essentially said he couldn't do anymore wrestling. Lesnar, however, was competing in Japan. He won a lawsuit against them to get the clause removed.
Who is them and what does it have to do with Dana White?
"Them" is WWE, and who said anything about Dana White? I might have missed something here.
