Finally Taker can go back to being Taker as opposed to just the streak. That was such an albatross hanging over his head.

Nope.
Taker may have been scheduled for raw, but he's in hospital with a bad concussion.
Never thought of that, that's true.
The more you learn I guess.
Does that mean his slower movements last night was because him being tired, or losing a but of fighting spirit knowing that he was meant to lose?
The guy really felt the end of an era when he was slowly getting up after his loss.
He got out before Raw. There is footage of him and Michelle McCool leaving their hotel to board his bus. He Could barely move so there is no way he is showing up anytime soon.

Can someone post the Homer Simpson STING pic.
Pleasseeee ^_^

Taker fell victim to what Jake the Snake talked about in his speech.
His heart and mind want to go but physically he couldn't but instead of accepting that he went ahead anyways so he could lose the streak.
So fans got to see a sadder sight than anything even in the movie The Wrestler. It was a sad pathetic ending for his Career

I wonder at what point he got it. The match didn't look too impactful(thank you Lesnar), but I guess everything is hard on you at Taker's age and size. Props for him on finishing it up.
There was a double leg takedown on the mats outside the ring in the first few minutes- pretty sure thats where he got it
It's more likely because he was heavily concussed very, very early into the match. Someone said he actually lost consciousness for a few seconds. After that happened he apparently was telling Lesner to slow down, and Lesner was trying really hard to be really gentle with him, but Taker started taking a ton of bumps wrong and hitting his head a bunch more.
I also agree that the probable original plan was to have Sting debut tonight during a Taker promo about the Streak ending, but Taker's condition prohibited him from showing up. I wouldn't be shocked if there are discussion on-going about Taker just outright retiring and what, if any, role Sting should have in the current product. I could see a situation where if Taker decides that he's done, Sting may just show up to be inducted into the HoF and that's that.
If Taker's off the table, pretty much the only match I can see working for Sting would be Sting vs. HHH to avenge the treatment of WCW during the Invasion. And I doubt HHH would put Sting over, and I doubt Sting would want to lose that particular match.

I doubt it. It's not like Taker or Triple H are the only opponents for Sting to have.
I'm sure he'll have at least one match in WWE if for nothing else than because it's never happened.
Well that explains a lot, thanks.
Sting could easily show up and be the manager/head guy of the Shield. With his Crow/justice gimmick fully in tact it would require him to do little wrestling and mostly mic work. If done right it could be pretty epic given the muscle of the Shield behind him against HHH and his cronies

Shield and Bryan vs Evolution and Kane should be pretty good.

I'm enjoying hogan coming out to little reactions, he's played out
Yes he's a legend but he comes off as a snake. Austin and rock's pop at WMXXX were 10x what Hogan drew
Last night in RAW it was embarrassing how little the audience cared to see hogan doing his same tired shtick

Raw was great overall
- loved the Barrett pop with 'Engerland' chants
- Adam and Bo woooooo
- great that Paige won the title but that was a terrible terrible way to debut her in honesty
- Cesaro, Bray and the shield are mega over

Paige sounded like shit on the mic last night. She sounded awkward and nervous, although it's not like she was killing in in NXT either. She better get a million times better if she's going to feud with AJ and eventually, everyone else. Ya'll may be tired of AJ but on the microphone she was running laps around all the other Divas while carrying them on her shoulders.
Her paige turner was also sloppy as shit too.
And obviously she's going to turn heel. The wishing of congratulations and good luck was just a ploy to take down an overconfident AJ. Proving that the 13 other women should be ashamed to call themselves wrestlers, when she did in five minutes what none of them could do in nearly 10 months.

Ah, yeah just went back and checked and Cole did mention it as she was coming down. My bad. Probably a good thing she didn't bring the title out with her since it looks so much better than the main roster's Barbie belt.
Yeah but would they do the rafters spot? They've stuck to the never doing it again after Owen was killed for almost 15 years now, zip line maybe but I can't see them going back with him dropping down, regardless of it being a part of Sting's Crow gimmick.
This is THE image. This is what they need to play whenever they talk about Brock Lesnar. He put the Dead Man to rest. He beat death.

Her Anti-Diva gimmick is going to go the same way as Big E's 5 Count gimmick.
Agree 100%.

Someone just broke into my apartment. Police are on their way. They didn't take anything, at least I can't tell if anything is missing yet. I'm pissed and a bit unnerved.
Damn it :/
Oh posted in wrong thread. Sorry.

The Anti-Diva gimmick has been done before.
That really fucking blows.
My parents' place got broken into. All that was stolen were heirlooms. Didn't touch anything with money value. THAT is frustrating. Hope they ran off.

I can see Undertaker - Sting happening regardless, as long as Undertaker's health isn't just that bad in general. It's not going to be a bump-fest, it's not going to be threatening for either man - it's just a 'once in a lifetime' attraction, like Bret Hart vs Vince McMahon.
Give the hounds of justice a call

Sting is terrible, hasn't had a good match in years and now is so pathetic he wears a shirt to cover his gut while he wrestles
Undertaker can barely move and has relied on being carried his last 5 matches
Taker/Sting would be one of the worst matches ever
Sting has proven that he could get into shape if he really wanted to. Undertaker is probably better off never wrestling again though.

I hate to break it to you marks, but The Undertaker is very obviously going to retire, and Sting doesn't rate a match, even with a streakless one-match-a-year Taker, in the first place.

Sting has been carried in almost every TNA match he's been in for the last 5 years. Getting in shape (which he won't do) isn't going to give him his speed or quickness back.

How the hell is Kane in such good shape? The guy is only 2 years younger than old man Taker.

He's always been active
while i'm sure it was all known beforehand, that graphic could've been thrown together in about fifteen seconds by anyone with a copy of after effects. it's just static text over stock footage. could have even done it live with a mixer.
if anything, it's suspiciously vanilla for a wwe graphic.

Damn, that's unexpected. I remember when RVD messed up his ankle(I believe) during a baseball slide of all things.
Taker's been absolutely wrecked by injuries.
DDP Yoga.
DDP is secretly the greatest person alive and probably the most inspiring dude alive. I think WWE should hire him, if only to just give rookies advice on life and shit.
