It's almost like Punk is the company man now and John Cena is the rebel against the establishment.

I turned off Right After Wrestling. I'm sick of hearing people say "just enjoy the ride" like this is compelling TV, and people are bitching just to bitch despite everything leading right back to John Cena in the title picture

And Kevin Nash.

In 2011.

I have Breaking Bad on DVR I don't need this.

See you next week.
 
The sad thing is that Punk and JoMo were in a fairly good match tonight, but who the fuck is going to remember it an hour from now? How about a week? Same thing with Swagger/Riley and Nexus/KofiBourne.

The only thing that keeps me sane is that I know they're not at TNA-levels yet, but at this rate...ergh.

Not perfect but I was bored(Just made!!!):

I see you ruining the main event I love and I'm like
FUCK YOUUuuu o oo oooo~
I guess my fantasy booking just wasn't good enough and I'm like,
FUCK YOU!
And fuck this company too!
I said, if I wrote for sitcoms, I'd have a job
Ha, now ain't that some shit? (ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest I still wish you the best with a...
FUCK YOUUuuu o oo oooo~

Yeah I'm sorry you can't write an angle,
But that doesn't mean you should book this shit~
I guess Cena prints money and others make change
But the way you book your talent ain't fair

I pity the fooooOOooll who bought that payperview~
(Oh shit there's a swerve ninja!)
Well
(Just thought you should know ninja!)
OOOOOOooh
I've got some dirtsheets for you
Yeah go run and trend on twitter

Now I know you had to borrow
Copy and steal from other companies
Trying to keep and trying to please me
Cause being in love with this show ain't easy

I pity the fooooOOooll who bought that payperview~
(Oh shit there's a swerve ninja!)
Well
(Just thought you should know ninja!)
OOOOOOooh
I've got some dirtsheets for you
Cena's music ends Raw

Now W, W, E, why'd you wanna frustrate me so much?

(So much, so much, so much)
I tried to tell my facebook friends but they told me
"This is one for the kids"
(The kids, the kids, the kids)
Uh! Whhhy? Uh! Whhhy? Uh!
Whhhy WWE? Oh! I love you oh!
I still love you. Oooh!
 
I guess raw was better then expected coming off a pretty poor PPV.

At least Punk is free from Cena (for now). I see some good Punk/HHH/Nash promo's in our future.


The Cena promo was dumb hypocritical BS though. Does WWE creative go through staff so often that they have no one left who remembers what happened 3 weeks ago when Cena beat a tired/beat down Rey for the title?

When I was talking about enjoying the ride I wasn't talking about Cena, I was just saying don't be a complete armchair booker.
 
Oh, also, the commentary was HORRIFIC tonight. Absolutely godawful. Some of the worst it's been of late, and it's mostly been fucking terrible lately (with the notable exception of last week's Raw).

Somebody backstage needs to wake up and realize just how badly it is damaging the product.
 
Who Texted Kevin Nash? might just be the worst mystery angle from a company that has historically sucked donkey dick when it comes to running mystery angles.

Don't you get it? They don't give a fuck. It's making Vince laugh. He doesn't give a fuck if it costs him money or hurts the product.

But... but... Michael Cole is the greatest.

Isn't his forced laughter when he cuts up Jim Ross and makes fat jokes about Vickie and nerd jokes about D Brine so hilarious?

Isn't it great when Lawler and Booker laugh along with him?

Or when he puts down the tag team title holders as bland and dull?

How about when he talks about Photoshopping and quotes random anecdotes from the Superstars college days instead of calling the match except to go 1-2-NEW CHAMPION-oh no, I was wrong.

How insulting is it when they won't even CALL THE MATCH during the $55/month pay-per-view?

It's an absolute travesty! (And yes, it is all to entertain Vince.)
 
I'm surprised the mystery texter didn't tweet Nash instead. Because, I don't know if you know this, but @WWE has more followers than Long John Silvers.

I enjoyed the back and forth with Vicky and Dolph and the announcing crew. But that was pretty much it.

I'm really starting to like Ricardo and the random goofy ass shit he does.

Remember a few months ago when he randomly drop kicked somebody in the ring? I think I lol'd for a few minutes after that one.

It was a decent RAW. With NoC 5 weeks away it makes sense they would tease more than explain, and they did. i love kofi and Evan being in a tag team. That is awesome. The Punk/Nash promo was okay. Surprised there wasn't a TNA mention. I like how Swagger might get Vickie. She is to valuable to use her solely to put Dolph over now.

The only thing I didn't like was Cena. He didn't sell why he is out here very well, and quite frankly he has no reason to be in that position. It should be Punk. Punk has a reason for not being involved, but Cena failed to convince me why he should be in that spot.

Overall decent show. Now GAF can bitch about it killed the business.
Click to expand...
pretty much!
 
I saw the CM Punk/Kevin Nash faceoff/confrontation and....Nash should stay away from a microphone this point forward. He sounds like a guy on Ice Road Truckers yelling at a new guy on a CV. The crowd was dead until Punk showed up.

And the ADR/Mysterio match was great -- but Cena ending the show chasing after ADR for the title AGAIN is too much.

CM Punk will go back to floundering in the upper midcard except he gets to talk more and Cena will have oh, two or three more World titles between now and the next WM.

I don't really care who 'texted Kevin Nash' or ADR vs. Cena at Night of Champions or Randy Orton having another World title AGAIN because this kind of stuff is why long-time wrestling fans have stopped watching.
 
http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/240597-what-happened-when-raw-went-off-air-cenapunkdel-rio

After Raw went off the air tonight, Cena continued to call out Alberto Del Rio, however he tried to exit to the back. CM Punk's music hit and he chased Del Rio into the ring. Del Rio took finishers from both Cena and Punk, then Ricardo Rodriguez hit the ring to try to grab the WWE Title, and he took an AA from Cena and a GTS from Punk.

After the heels left the ring, Punk picked up the belt and handed it to Cena, and the crowd began to boo Cena. A CM Punk chant then broke out, Cena left the belt in the ring, and both guys exited to the back. The show then came to an end.

You know, I used to think it was typical GAF hyperbole when I saw you guys say that Raw always ended with Cena's music. Guess I was pretty much wrong =\

How long has that been going on?

2005/2006ish I believe
 
I like how they try to promote Cena and Punk as friendly rivals who are equally talented and can beat each other on any given night. I also liked how Dwayne's last live appearance had him shaking hands with Cena and telling him how much he respects him.

Every feud with Cena in the end is "Please like Cena, see I like him! Vince really wants this :("

Orton did it.

Rock did it.

now it's Punk's turn.

UberTag, you know I love you but you deserve this for believing in a company you know better than to believe in.

I never believed, dream. I made my statement as an invested consumer by purchasing the Money in the Bank PPV, got my money's worth and haven't paid the WWE a dime since.

If buyrates for a poorly-booked Summerslam surpassed those of Money in the Bank, I'll gladly accept I'm in the minority and save my cash for Ring of Honor.

Both Nash and Swagger were trash on the mic tonight. Send them to promo school.

I like how Punk hands Cena the belt when it was Punk who won last night. Gotta make sure Cena is always over no matter what.
 
You wanted to believe though, UberTag. I know you did. Especially since Punk said all the right things. Unfortunately, this is a company with a very specific vision of what their product is.

Cena does super safe offense. That's why the guy is never injured. If he did get injured WWE is pretty much screwed though.

they would just move Ortan over to raw and wouldnt have to change the writing that much.

Its obvious with the house show bookings that Punk and Cena will be pursuing Del Rio. Of course since Del Rio needs the belt in Mexico it means neither will do much

Actually, I wanted Punk to leave, NOT re-sign, go to Ring of Honor, elevate THAT product so it becomes legit competition and not the "Jim Cornette cuts promos in the ring while Nigel McGuinness talks to the fans at ringside" show.

I mean, seriously, there's like no logic flow to how the first four episodes of ROH TV have been booked. I'm hoping they'll be able to clean some of that up in post-production. At least the match quality seems to be solid.

What do you mean?

And wait, Nigel is talking to fans at ringside? As if he's Miz on Smackdown 2 years ago?
