Another thing that seems obvious to me after the weird start: After Kingston turns heel and joins Heyman, it eventually becomes apparent that the promo at the start of the show was an act, and nefarious HHH and dastardly Paul E. Dangerously join forces, which integrates Punk into the main event storyline from here until Wrestlemania.

Kofi never ever turns heel.

The kids love the guy, they're not doing it.

Kofi never ever turns heel.

The kids love the guy, they're not doing it.

He's expendable and will do what he's told. It seems nailed on to me, although I'll be thrilled if such a soul-crushingly predictable move fails to come to pass.

 

[slightconfuse]

sick dropkick

 

[Spiderjericho]

I think it would be short sighted to turn Kofi heel.

But Axel getting a win would at least make him legitimate.

 

[British Monsoon]

Thought Axel was going to be remotely interesting and do a backdrop driver there, but alas.

 

[The Frankman]

no more OT PPV thread? Or just the major 4 ones?

 

[Aiii]

It's strange they're gonna job Axel out twice on the same night, I can't imagine him being a thing after Heyman lets him go tonight or tomorrow.

 

[krae_man]

Why has this match been given 30+ minutes?

 

[DMczaf]

Meltzer is reporting this quarter lost 800K viewers.

 

[Man God]

Axel isn't legitimate though.

This match started off pretty janky but its not that bad now.

 

[sf2fanatic]

wtf botch camera? lol

 

[somedevil]

Nice Sequence there.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Camera truck guy is soooooo getting fired

 

[Ilive1up]

fucking camera guy

 

[Spider from Mars]

Why has this match been given 30+ minutes?

Iron man match

 

[The Frankman]

WAY TO MISS THE NEAR FALL CAMERA GUYS.

 

[quiksilver1209]

That camera cut

 

[darkside31337]

This cameraman is the worst.

 

[Ithil]

Brilliant camera work there.

 

[krae_man]

LOL camera on Heyman during the count.

 

[daemissary]

I've actually enjoyed this match. Didn't expect to say that.

 

[Edgeward]

So is the Punk match gonna be only 7 minutes now? This is going pretty long for something not advertised

HOLY SHIT HE WON!

WHAT?! The midcard champion denied?! WHAT?!

 

[slightconfuse]

That match wast half bad.

 

[obijkenobi]

That wasn't a bad match. Just seemed unneccassary.

 

[TheDrowningMan]

It's strange they're gonna job Axel out twice on the same night, I can't imagine him being a thing after Heyman lets him go tonight or tomorrow.

They're talking about it being "bad news for Heyman" too much for there to be much chance of Punk winning, I fear.

 

[TheWarrior]

This has been a long pre-show.

 

[Ozone]

SWERVE

 

[Spiderjericho]

Axel isn't legitimate though.

This match started off pretty janky but its not that bad now.

Exactly. You need wins and a push to do that.

The problem is they should package him in with this corporate angle. HHH should steal him from Hey,an which causes him to look for a new guy.

 

[sf2fanatic]

No diva match tonight? yay!!

 

[canadian crowe]

The problem with Axel (amongst other things) is that he's the only Heyman guy. If there was another guy in that stable all the eggs wouldn't be in the Axel basket.

 

[British Monsoon]

Wasn't a bad match, Axel's finisher fucking sucks though. What's wrong with the Perfect Plex?

 

[The Frankman]

That wasn't a bad match. Just seemed unneccassary.

Every title had to be defended.

 

[jred2k]

Well he just met his win quota so he can go back to losing everytime he appears on Raw for a month.

 

[DMczaf]

Cool, the kickoff show is finally over.

 

[Aiii]

They're talking about it being "bad news for Heyman" too much for there to be much chance of Punk winning, I fear.

It's an elimination match. Heyman isn't losing, Axel is.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Love the look on Paul's face while The Genesis of Axel was celebrating.

 

[krae_man]

"I thought Kofi won the match with that move he's used every match for the past 3 years and hasn't worked once"

 

[daemissary]

They're talking about it being "bad news for Heyman" too much for there to be much chance of Punk winning, I fear.

Well, HHH making the handicap match a no DQ match pretty much guarantees that Axel will be eliminated and then a new Heyman guy will debut and save Heyman...right?

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Good match. I like how some of Kofi's hair came out and was just sitting on the mat and then the ref grabbed it to take it home or some shit.

 

[slightconfuse]

Rick Rude was screwed

 

[Enfinit]

So Kofi's dread coming out was kinda gross.

 

[sf2fanatic]

BS!! Rick Rude is the greatest

 

[Ozone]

Bullshit, Honky should've won.

 

[The Frankman]

Chris Jericho best IC Champ?

lol

 

[TheWarrior]

No love for Warrior in that poll

 

[Aiii]

Wasn't a bad match, Axel's finisher fucking sucks though. What's wrong with the Perfect Plex?

Cole will call it the Perfect Throw, can't have that.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Rick Rude was screwed

People are jelly of his bod.

 

[Edgeward]

Those Rick Rude numbers are dangerously low

 

[quiksilver1209]

a Rodrigo swerve on RVD, Del Rio retains

 

[Dark Ninja]

Too many "OLD" guys nobody knows who they are
