seriously, if Brock doesn't have 2 matches a week against Taker for a month before the PPV, how am I supposed to understand the storyline?

Funnily enough, I'm not viewing it as CM Punk vs anyone, I'm viewing it as Dana White vs Expectations. He has to carefully toe the line where Punk doesn't get beat, but the fight doesn't look like a gimme.

However there's always a dipshit out there, see people betting on Correia over Rousey

I don't think anyone that got a contract with UFC due to their abilities and MMA background would lose to Punk, unless the fight is bought. I might be proved wrong though, who knows.

Shut up imbask!

I want more Heyman exposing Undertaker promos while Barack stands by his side. Don't try to deny me what I deserve.

I just googled Raw and apparently no Barack on Raw this week. When is the HellCell program starting? I think it's about time.

This Saturday, from Madison Square Garden in New York City, live only on the WWE Network: Undertaker will make Brock suffer the greatest humiliation - losing to Big Show.

Don't make the bet Sunny.

You know UFC is going to throw their equivalent to Glass Joe against Punk.

I know, but I also know Punk isn't any better than Von Kaiser. So it could be two of them.

They'll have him fight the guy who kicked Dave Batista's ass.

I think I have an idea after Nate Diaz interview about Punk in UFC. Nate Diaz doesn't sound credible and I'm not a fan of his at all, but the way he sees this situation is actually spot on imo

So...that was the ending to RAW this week, huh?

After a great start to the night, it all just ended up limping worse than Kane.

Here is Preliminary Summerslam buyrate:

150-200,000 bought Summerslam and 76,000 bought Battleground.
Click to expand...

So it seems Brock is a draw for people to bye the pay per views for Normal Price and not 9.99.

Plus as for the Ratings:

8pm: 3.476
9pm: 3.326
10pm: 3.188

Avg: 3.33

Ouch at the 3rd hour.

I mean, they're not selling anything interesting happening in the third hour...what do you think they expect?

Batista won that one though. But, yeah, seeing a brick house like Batista being beaten the whole time and winning in a... not convincing way (I'm being generous), was weird

Wait'll you see a skinny fatass like Punk, who actually lost almost all his muscle mass, stand up to a worthless cunt fighter.

I meant that Brock was on Battleground and it drew the highest buys for a B show. So when he wrestles on pay per views people are interested in his matches.

I wonder if Sting will have that affect.

I remember Summerslam because I've been counting how many times Undertaker has kicked Barack in the dick.

Dick Kick 1 was at Battleground.
Dick Kick 2 was at Summerslam.
Dick Kick 3 will likely be at HellCell.

The trilogy will be complete.

Probably not, he didn't spike the ratings, sad truth is this was all 15 years too late.
