Mason Ryan is actually pretty weak for someone his size, or at least he was in the New Nexus days. I think their strongest person on contract right now is Big E Langston, but I imagine they'll leave him in NXT for a while yet.

On the flip side, if Punk wins by pinfall, what's it do for Ryback? What's it do for Punk? It's all looking bad anyhow, no matter who wins or loses.

Ryback was going to lift Tensai then forgot what he was doing.

Yup.
Also, Kane and Tensai had a match with some crazy spots
Kane vs Albert Albert DDTs Kane off a chokeslam and Kane dropkicks Albert off a baldo bomb. This is not the Kaneacanrana match though.

You should be watching NXT.
You might remember that Nigel McGuinness was doing his own documentary on his final tour as a professional wrestler. I backed it on Kickstarter and he just posted saying that he is nearing a final edit. It shouldn't be too far from release. He apparently recently spent $3.5k on 60 seconds of footage which sounds like a lot for so little. The current edit he has is almost two hours, and at the level I backed he's including a near 2 hour bonus disc. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
5'11 a good 4 inches too tall. He's barely taller than A Double, but as wide as Double A.
Not sure. I'm guessing no.
Its easier to get Mason Ryan over than Skip Sheffield van Lesnarberg. Actually its easy to get most of the roster over - its that Hunter doesn't care because creative have been a mess for years.

The 10/22 edition of Raw averaged 3,554,000 viewers, down significantly from the almost four million that they did last week. As bad as the booking was last night, they got that number on merit. Once again, hour three was the worst rated as it dropped more than 200,000 viewers from hour two.

RAW rating should be between a 2.4 and a 2.6. Vince is going to panic and give The Ryback the belt on Sunday!!!
Awesome thanks dude.

Mason Ryan has hair. You need to be bald for this to work.

Or if their next course of action after having Punk beat Cena for the title was something other than having Punk beat cena to become the "undisputed" wwe champion (wtf? He beat cena for the WWE title 8 days before they made Cena the champ again with a 2nd, paper championship reign. If they wanted to do that angle it should have been anyone BUT cena, since CEna's the guy who lost to punk in the first place.)... not to mention having Punk drop th e belt to del rio immediately after becoming the undisputed champion when del rio cashed in... and then CENA, not punk, gets to feud with del rio.
So bad.
Also, can't beleive Vince didn't get ice cream bars re-circulated.

Wasn't their call. Good Humor (the ice cream company WWE works with) didn't greenlight them. That ended it.

Or you could just hook your computer up to your tv with an hdmi cable and run a double monitor set-up so you can watch it from your computer.

I have a Google TV that I watch all my internet wrestling on. It's the best $500 I've ever spent.

I hope RAW drops to late Nitro era ratings. That would be glorious.
My entire set-up is run through a powerful computer which doubles as a media center and gaming machine with a dual monitor set-up. The TV is a 40" Samsung set and the monitor is a 27" LG. I actually have cable running through the computer with a cable card set-up using a Ceton InfiniTV 4 USB DVR so I get my standard TV on the computer also. The television is only hooked up to the PC via an HDMI cable and everything I run through it looks as good as broadcast tv. I watch television via Windows Media Center and Netflix, Hulu and iPPVs via a web browser. I use my PS3 for blu-ray discs and Amazon Instant Video rentals (only because for some strange reason it defaults to SD on a PC).

They are already very close. Nitro at the end of WCW was doing low 2.0's. It never fell below 2.0 though except for holiday shows.
The final Nitro did a 3.0 rating. The four Nitros before that all did 2.1.
Vince always spiked the ratings back then.
BillRiccio

Raw officially did a 2.5, however it was the lowest rated non-holiday episode of Raw in more than 15 years, as it was a lower 2.5 (2.48 compared to 2.54) than the one on 10/1 according to Meltzer.
Yeah. I'd like the wrestling business to stay healthy. I'd get no pleasure with WWE demise.

The company needs a kick in the ass badly. With no WCW or ECW around anymore and TNA being a total non-factor, they have no motivation beyond bad ratings.
The Attitude Era came out of Raw slumping down to a 1.9 rating in September 1996.

If the ratings get low enough they might actually stop living in 1997-2001 and try something new and different. So please ratings, fall and fall, and keep on fallin'.
What do you guys think will happen? Ratings start going lower, and the WWE just says, "Oh shit, I guess we better start trying again."
It's not like they're not trying, they just suck. Vince has lost it, HHH isn't any better, whenever ratings have gotten bad, their solution has always been to push Cena more, and just change GMs to "shake things up." All they would do now is kill off the tag division, end Hell No, and push HHH, Cena, and Sheamus, with probably ryback as the "new star".
It's over people. Stone Cold isn't walking through that door.
