I have a feeling they are doing Punk a favor by not having him get lost in this Triple H storyline any longer. I think he'll end up getting the title match at Survivor Series.

I thought Punk would come out and take a seat, but interesting finish.
Gotta love HHH cutting down people while trying to get their confidence. |

Damn good ending.
Only thing I wonder is why Henry was out there? He doesn't fear anything. |

I didn't like that segment that closed RAW. They made JR look like the biggest babyface in the company not named Triple H. They aren't the two guys you should be promoting to have the most character. I think it would have been more effective for some to support Triple H, and some to head to the back. Give RAW a scrambled feeling. It's Triple H against the world right now, and I don't think that's the direction this thing should be going in.

One thing I did like was Mike Chiota speaking up on behalf of the officials. The WWE has done a referee strike before, but I like that they are pissed off. Also, is everyone on the WWE really that afraid of The Miz & R-Truth? Maybe I'm expecting too much out of the WWE; but I'm just finding it really hard to bite into this storyline like they want me to. It's far from the worse thing in the history of the company, and there are interesting ideas driving the storyline forward -- but I just think it's too...dumb right now. We just saw Stephanie McMahon on WWE TV recently. Why is she not there backing her husband? Why are rookies like Darren Young, Derrick Bateman, Percy Watson & Titus O'Neil willing to throw away huge opportunities with the WWE? |

I didn't think it made JR look like the biggest babyface ever. He was torn between showing loyality to the man who got him his job back and doing what he felt was right. Just a person, not a character that swings in either direction.

I also think it was completely moronic to have Wade Barrett be a talking piece for "workroom safety" and how wrestlers are afraid to go in a parking lot and how he's in the WWE to compete in a safe area etc etc etc.
Now I'm glad they at least had HHH point out the hypocrisy, but it doesn't remove the fact that it just was another example of making Barrett look stupid. THe last time he really was on Raw in a speaking role he was this cocky a-hole leading the Nexus, a group who mugged Bret Hart in a parking lot, and tried to have a hostile take over of Raw. Now he's afraid of workplace safety. I don't know if Barrett ticked someone off in the back but they've seemingly gone out of their way to destroy the credibility and awesomeness his character once had. Do you know what would have been cool? Him taking the mic, and spouting off about taking credit for this anarachy. That he was the first person to lead this charge and thanks to him and his group, the WWE has never been the same. He could have taken credit for it, but voted against HHH purely out of spite for the position he holds. He should vote no confidence because the WWE is finally in a place that he envisioned when he led Nexus. |

If two guys were fired from a workplace that you are currently employed, and would go on an attack spree towards their fellow former employees...wouldn't you feel like something needs to be done before something happens to you? If your boss lost control of the situation, wouldn't you feel that it isn't a safe environment and would just consider leaving for the benefit of your health and safety?
I think this was a brilliant segment. And I find having JR as the last one was fitting and made the point across. Didn't see Barrett was made to look stupid. Triple H just called him out on facts. You should be happy it was mentioned...to me that doesn't destroy credibility, that revives it. |

And if you want to complain about someone losing credibility? Look at Drew McIntyre. From being Vince's "chosen one" to getting the jobber entrance for the opening of RAW?

I didn't have a problem with Barrett's comments, since he's a heel and it kinda worked. Yes, he did lead Nexus as they destroyed anything that crossed their path last year, but of course, now he feels at risk, he doesn't think it's fair. That's classic heel characteristics right there.
However... if I recall Barrett hasn't been on Smackdown for two weeks now, and screw theories of 'testing to see if he's a company guy', I feel WWE have really dropped the ball here. |

yah, quite a staggering misunderstanding of the basic concept of a heel in this thread. The Barrett thing is as simple as:
1. He's competent and articulate with a microphone, which helped sell the angle and get the main points against Triple H across 2. He's a heel, he's supposed to be contradictory and hypocritical, it's why he's a "bad guy" |

I think it played out as planned. HHH was trying to defend himself and shoot down the complaints.
Barrett talks and HHH shoots it down. Chioda talks and he starts to see hes at fault and tries to shoot it down but leaves a ding in his armor. DIvas talk and he shoots it down but leaves the "What if" door opene for doubt. Hard to shoot that down. Then King Drives it home. King is a legend. A respected man. A Face. Driving the nail in the coffin and leading everyone out. No way to defend himself there. It was a brilliant way build it up and go both ways. Also, anyone else realize there is no Single title held by a face? Unless you count Ryder |
