April Wrasslin |OT| D.Brine collects his P45

WWE is too fucking scared to keep a monster heel going for too long it seems, and they ruin it by turning monsters into cowards. See: Henry turning into a vag at the end.
Agreed, Henry would have been a great monster but WWE hasnt used him right his entire career. Monsters have to crush people, including fan favorites and guys who sell merchandise. WWE is scared to have guys like Cena, Sheamus, Punk get destroyed because they think it will hurt there drawing power. In reality if Cena got destroyed Sunday, stayed gone the rest of spring as Brock ran wild and kicked the shit out of everyone, and then Cena came back around Summerslam in a savior of the wwe role and went toe to toe with Lesnar it would do big buisness. Brock would have major heat and Cena would get a major boost from an opponent who is percieved as an unstoppable monster. This angle would make Cena and Brock hotter than ever with return matches people will pay to see.Instead we get heels whose major purpose is to get someone to drink liquor. What a fucking joke! If they really wanted to get Punk and Jericho over have Jericho beat up jobbers every week and send them to the hospital, make Jericho a threat instead of a joke. If they dont treat Brock as a monster I dont know if they will ever build another one. WWE seems obsessed with chickenshit heels like Miz, Bryan, Del Rio and Christian. How can fans respect a face who beats a heel who is never shown to be talented or dangerous but always shown as a pussy and a coward? WWE really needs to build some heels to bring back some legitimacy again, and monster heels would do the trick faster and more efficiently.
 
I can't believe Laurinaitis left Lesnar out to dry like that.

Pick.
Up.
Your.
Fucking.

I thought Mr. Excitement was at a point where he was comfortable doing promos but I guess not.

That segment was awful.

Yes sir, that was an awkward promo.
I was expecting that Johnny Ace and Otunga would be F5'd

Well, at least D-Bry has had a slight step up in his heel role.

He got 1 week of sneaking away from the beat down in time before his token 1 week of 'looking like an actual threat, seriously guys please watch cause maybe he'll win lol not really' before jobbing to the boring face character at the PPV.

The only aspect I'm not sure where they're going with is AJ. In a perfect world she would cost Too Many Limes the title and they'd reveal it as a plan all along while going on to rule as an awesome bad guy duo.

Or they're just gonna make her turn on Bryan cause she's had enough of his shit girl power thing. Which wouldn't make much sense because its HER THAT KEEPS COMING BACK even though he asked her not to, she's bringing the pain and humiliation on herself by keeping on with it.

Or it will just go no where and be forgotten about in a few weeks. <- DING DING DING DING!

:(

Oh well at least the PPV crowd will be fun to hear. Lobster Head is gonna get destroyed, YES! YES! YES!'s everywhere will be glorious.
 
Wow I zipped through RAW in about an hours time on my DVR. That was weak.
First PPV since MITB I will not order. I hope Brock steamrolls Cena. The CM Punk segment was abysmal. How far we have fallen since June of last year.

I did get an old school feeling during the final segment, so that was nice. I like Brock, I always have. He is a different cat. I can dig that.

WWE please stop burying Ziggler.

I hope all of the staff went home tonight wondering if they forgot to do something. Then one of them wakes up in the middle of the night and says "Oh crap, we left Paul Bearer in the freezer!" Then he shrugs and goes back to sleep.
 
Raw was painful to endure. Next time I waste my time staying up to watch that nonsense, I'm just going to remind myself that I could be watching big Japanese dudes beat the crap out of each other;

Also, anyone watch AAW? Check out their most recent show over on www.smvod.com;

http://smvod.com/premium-video/aaw-march-16-2012-epic-berwyn-il

The main event is a pretty good brawl, with Jimmy Jacobs & Arik Cannon defending the tag titles against The Irish Airborne, while elsewhere there's a good SHIMMER 6-woman tag match with MsChif, Athena & Von Eerie vs Del Rey & The Canadian Ninjas, a fun comedy match between Cabana & Cameron Skyy, and Michael Elgin defending the Heritage title against J Miller. Well worth $10.
 
I just saw that the Miz is challenging Santino Sunday in a match that'll be on YouTube. Why is a title match regulated to a dark match, especially when you only have five announced matches?

My god this company just does not give a fuck.

Thank god I don't watch this show anymore.

Didn't watch the show, but I did turn on the USA channel before I left to work. I saw Brodus Clay dancing up the ramp with dipshit Hornswaggle. Judging by the posts, he squashed Dolph Ziggler again. What an embarrassing group of writers (and Vince). Hope this show dips in the 2's for a while.

+The Bellas were so hot last night.
Funny enough AJ not being a lumberjill just reinforces her position as main eventer (you know like Punk and Jericho not going out to stop Lesnar from killing Cena).

+Ref Bryan: YES! YES! YES!

+Evil Kane.

+And the highlight of the show: EDGE

It could have been a fantastic show, but it had like 2 and a half hours worth of filler shit.

Daniel Bryan part was easily the best part of the show last night.

Screaming yes during the yes lock had me legitimately laughing.
 
As far as we know the bellas are still leaving soon right? Was that title change improvised after Beth got hurt? Presumably eve will give herself a title match soon and get the belt.

How are they plants if they pay for their own tickets and expenses to the shows just like everyone else?

You think for one second they get front row for every show they attend by coincidence?

I saw this one guy with Carlito hair with front row tickets every Toronto show I've ever attended. I've seen him in the crowd in multiple PPV's and when Cryme Time sold off Carlito's hammock he was the one who bought it. Face it dude they're plants.

Him doing the Brock shuffle twice on camera was 100% staged.

Presumably Beth will sell the injury for a while and then return to feud with Kharma.

Yeh, the idea is that Kharma didn't beat Beth for the title so Beth will be the only one who has a chance against her when she returns after Kharma dominating the division for a while.

I think there are just fans who are ridiculously dedicated about attending. I remember hearing that Sign Guy (guy with the red hat and blue shirt thats at loads of shows) built up a huge amount of debt by going to so many shows.
