I'm surprised that no one mentioned that HHH basically buried the whole locker room saying here were "no real challenges in the back"

Pretty incensed about the burying of Sheamus. Don't care about A-Ri or Daniel Bryan being buried. I wonder though... is this it for NXT Season 2?! All remnants are gone! |

They're managing to book Miz as a god awful champion (factor in he almost lost to a 63-year-old). He's being made to look inferior to Cena, and in turn Cena is looking like an absolute dope with The Rock. John Cena is supposed to have a title match, but the entire feud is focusing on he and The Rock. The Miz meanwhile goes and attacks Daniel Bryan, who after being booked so horribly has little credibility to then look like he's on equal footing. On paper, this was a good concept. But the execution of it, is awful. |

I actually liked how they booked Miz tonight. I think he should definitely take pics and tweet them mid-match as a "thing". Kind of like how Rock used to get on headset and talk, but FOR THE AGE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING!

Does anyone with ANY sort of knowledge have an explanation for their decision to pretty much kill the youth movement?
Were there new writers brought in? Any let go? Were their earnings THAT bad? I just don't understand who they can just completely destroy almost every wrestler they have built up since 2009. |

I would have found what he said upsetting on most nights, but when you consider the destruction of almost every wrestler out there with less than seven years in the business, it seems tame.
I can excuse it only because HHH and Taker are on a different level than anyone else on that roster now. To then destroy Sheamus 30 seconds later, and put away their feud like that? Inexcusable. How bad is it for Sheamus? Remember when they had Santino get a fluke win over him and it was booked like it was some sort of miracle? At this point, Sheamus is probably lower on the totem poll than him at this point. |

you guys crack me up.
\ There are like 5 weeks left until Mania, I'm pretty sure Miz will get the upper hand on Cena eventually. Seems like some of you wont be happy until Cena is only wrestling dark matches and jobbing on Superstars. He's the freaking face of the company going into the biggest event of the year, he's gonna win a match or two. |

It was one burial right after another. I find myself echoing The Miz' sentiments. Really? Really? REALLY?
Did HHH REALLY have to basically say the entire roster sucks except for him and Taker? Did Sheamus REALLY have to get his ass demolished without even getting to at least cut a promo and land a few punches? Did Evan Bourne's return REALLY have to come against a guy who was already beat up and thus he gains nothing from it when there are plenty of low card heels (why hello there Ted DiBiase, William Regal, Zack Ryder, Tyson Kidd, and Primo) that could have jobbed and make the win look legitimate? Did the United States champion REALLY have to be the one to get jumped by The Miz and again put up no offense when there were no shortage of jobber faces (why hello there Santino Marella, Vladimir Kozlov, Darren Young, Yoshi Tatsu, and David Hart Smith) to fill the role? Just a fucking stupid night of booking. Even if they took the same general route it could have just been executed in such a way where so many guys didn't look stupid when they didn't have to. |

Cena's promo was bad, but if anything, it made miz look good, given that their promos were back to back and miz's were far better. Cena made himself look stupid and no one else, really.
Also, I have no problem with Triple A's comments, because what he said was basically true. What would beating John Cena and Orton accomplish? Sure they would be challenging matches, but he's already achieved victory. I think people just misinterpreted that. It's not that he was burying the locker room, he was saying he has already met the challenges that the rest of the locker room has to offer. Which he has. Anyway, it was all said to add to the epic atmosphere of the match. It wasn't a very entertaining raw, but I think people are overreacting a tad, to all this supposed "burying" going on. OH GOD DANIEL BRYAN WAS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY THE WORLD CHAMPION! HIS CAREER IS OVER! |

The other thing I took from tonight was how desperately Cena needs an image makeover.
You have the Rock in a nice simple black shirt which is one thing. You then have Miz and Riley looking like a million bucks. And Cena is out there in his stale attire looking like a 12 year old punk kid in purple. He just looked really lame to me tonight. And how long has he had that stupid purple shirt for. Would it kill them to market something new? |

I guarantee nobody in the arena took HHH's comments as seriously as TPWW.
"OMG, how will Daniel Bryan and David Otunga ever get over?>>>?" HHH said he was better than them!!!!!" |

For being so good to even great last few weeks I would be so pissed if I was in Buffalo and paid to watch that live. There was like someone already said 30 mins tops of actual wrestling with the rest either long boring promos or on tape promos.
Bout the only thing I saw good tonight was Miz being made to be strong. Hated had to squash Bryan to do it though. The Sheamus thing confuses me a lot. Of course there are the rumors of Kevin Dunn not liking this guy but c'mon. Insane he went from Wrestling HHH at last Mania to now being buried by him. If anyone didn't need a rub going into Mania its HHH. So much for the Sheamus-Bryan feud I was hoping for meaning anything after last week. |

Seriously they've only been feuding since the nXt days and Bryan was the one who beat Miz for the US in the first so place oh noes he's a jobber now just cuz he attacked from behind to probly help push him to the main event down the line REALLY?!? Overall I didn't think the show was all that bad other than the fact that it was crammed up with so many promos by major stars when rather than having some actual matches to help the buildup to WM even if they were predictibly booked. Let's face in Vinces eyes new young talent doesn't equal good buyrates and this is why we are seeing this sudden shift but once it's all said and done I foresee that the guys that were pushing a few months back other than ADR that is will be in the thick of things.

You want Bourne to come back? Great. Have him take on some other middling like R-Truth or DiBiase who's already been sufficiently jobbed. Or here's an earth shattering idea, try to actaully have Daniel Bryan have a feud with someone! I mean I can't get over how awful it all is. I mean who in their right mind now would care if Bryan feuds with Sheamus? Even prior to Elimination Chamber it'd look like a good feud of Sheamus, the #3 heel taking on Bryan. Now? They're just two jobbers. |

Look at the big picture here. They wanted to debut HHH and Taker right before Mania. If you bring either back before the Rumble or EC then the excitement goes away. There just isn't time to do a closure program with PPVs for Sheamus. Not that it even matters because there isn't any doubt that HHH would win after being gone for almost a year. So HHH kicks Sheamus in the balls and Pedigrees him on a table and now both men are free to go about their business. Sheamus does not need to think about going to TNA or anything right now.

He didn't say the locker room sucked ffs.
He said he had beaten everyone already. And like it or not, Triple H and Taker ARE viewed as being on a higher level than the rest of the locker room. With Jericho and HBK gone, they are the last two veteran icons of the WWE. No matter how well you push younger talent, they won't be looked at in the same way by the fans as guys like HHH and Taker. There is too much history to their careers. So even if you wanted to take what Triple H said the wrong way, the casual fans were probably already thinking it anyway. |

They could have EASILY done something better. How about Sheamus coming out and they brawl for two minutes and the GM announces next week is a No DQ Falls Count Anywhere match between the two?? A 15 minute main event ensues, and you can have the same conclusion. Sheamus looks strong in defeat, and HHH vanquishes his foe. Much better and nicer way to get BOTH over instead of Sheamus potentially booking a ticket of Superstar main events with William Regal and Yoshi Tatsu. |

What I just don't understand is - the Raw roster is fucking enormous. There are way more guys on the Raw undercard roster than they actually need. The great majority of them never even sniff the main show anymore unless it's a brief comedy segment. Why not put them to use and let them do something on the main show instead of feeding the guys who actually should be relevant to the wolves? It would protect the guys that should be protected and might actually remind the casual audience that some of those guys even exist.
Hell, look at JoMo. Morrison was nowhere to be seen tonight and I think a week off is a better alternative than being used in a filler segment that could have been filled by somebody low on the totem pole who will never be over. Instead he'll probably get a decent-length Superstars match and get to come back next week hopefully with something meaningful to do. |

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS A THOUSAND TIMES THIS
Ever since I started posting in here again I have noticed that almost every poster wants guys to be pushed to the fucking moon immediately, and any pause or delay in that push means they are getting "buried". Honestly, I miss the days when having 3 championship reigns was an accomplishment, instead of like 7 in a year. |

The other thing I hated was HHH's delivery. After being away for almost a year, I was ready for this passionate speech and what I felt we got was some going through the motions crud.
To me, what I heard was "I'm glad to be back, blah blah blah...We all know I'm going to lose to Taker, but I'll make it sound good....blah blah blah blah, if I lose I'll die trying." |

In the long run, it is not like fans who aren't on the internet are going to remember the one line and never buy into anyone else ever again. Yeah, Sheamus was buried, and it is a sheam, but the damage can be reversed quite easily. We just like to gripe about it happening needlessly in the first place.

On that topic I found it strange that he never acknowledged their previous encounter at WM17 and how close he was to defeating him then.

I don't think we need people pushed to the moon. What I want is a return on my investment of getting into guys whom the WWE deemed appropriate of getting pushes for the past two years. I don't need these guys to be given title shots. But to book these guys so horribly after taking so much time to make us believe they're credible stars, really kills a lot of interest for me. |

HHH did bury the roster there, but he's probably not wrong though.
I don't really care about the burying of Sheamus, because I would rather see Undertaker/HHH anyway. |
