Whatever you say.
You're the Daniel Bryan of this place (Not the real DB btw. Your warped perception of him) |

RAW was okay. It just seems like all the feuds have hit their peak and it’s time for it to be WrestleMania. This week was filler, although the confrontation of John Cena/The Miz/The Rock next week should be great.

Pretty much. I love fans who bitch about everything, claim they won't watch and yet are back next week.

I will admit it takes him actually going in the ring during a match and wrestling to get over. The crowd was really into the Superstars taped match because it was a really good match (definitely recommend a watch). His promo skills are less then desirable, he just has a different kind of over I think. Cena and Orton can walk out and people go crazy. Bryan has to get into the flow of a match for that to happen.

Personally I've been saying he should turn the belt upside down for a while (albeit not on here). It's a pretty "clever" metaphor. Miz is "turning the WWE upside down". I like it. This. The writing has been abysmal. Taker comes out on Raw, HHH follows. Taker promo on SmackDown. HHH promo on Raw. HHH promo on SmackDown. Taker promo on Raw. Nothing. HHH back on Raw. Taker probably on SmackDown. Both on Raw. Match. Meh. Quote:

All this shit on Raw says a couple things:
Cena wins Snookie wins Lawler wins Daniel Bryan is still a crowd killer. |

Bryan is only a crowd killer when his music hits, which, personally, I think needs to go. The generic rock theme he had fit his style a little better, and I think a live crowd would take it a little more seriously. I'm excited about a Sheamus/Bryan Mania match though. They had a good outing on Raw last week, and if given 10-15 minutes, as Bryan has been during his PPV matches, they could legitimately steal the show.
The Taker/HHH match better deliver an above average match at the least, because it is falling far short of the build HBK got with Taker at the last two Manias. Also, the "end the streak or die trying" line translates to "I'm going to lose then retire" from what I'm personally gathering. Miz/Cena was a bit underwhelming, but I think the idea was to make Cena look a little stronger this week, only to have Miz look beastly once more come the final Raw. It makes sense. Lawler/Cole continues to be the hottest feud going into Mania. Cole is on fire right now. From the parodied JR entrance, to the Cole Mine, to shitting on the Diva matches, and physically getting the upper hand on Lawler two weeks in a row, he's getting a great build to Mania. People ask why Austin hasn't been involved. Personally, they haven't needed him. It was different during the Lashley/Umaga and Lesnar/Goldberg feud, where Austin had to cover the mic work and generate some heat. This time around, Cole, Swagger and Lawler are doing more than fine on their own. Trish Stratus and Michelle McCool is the most enticing aspect of the mixed tag match come Mania. I've seen enough of Ziggler and Morrison together to know they'll come through, but getting to see Trish wrestle WWE's current headline Diva has some great potential. Punk mocking Orton's wife was great. They should have booked Orton against someone else other than Mysterio though. Not destroying DiBiase and putting him in a match with Orton would have been better. He could have gone over, and they wouldn't have wasted what could have potentially been a great match between Mysterio and Orton. Overall, Raw was bland, but it makes writing to go home show a little easier, as I doubt they could fall this flat again. |

You're absolutely right. Bringing the belt out on a podium under a sheet and unveiling it by turning out all the lights in the arena and playing a drum roll in a giant promo that claims to "rewrite Miz-tory" that they were hyping all night and put at the end of the show as the main event wasn't a fuss at all. Completely subtle and understated. Thanks for clearing that up. Well I guess the WWE listened to you. I hope you get some kind of royalties for them using your idea. You must be proud. Turning the WWE logo upside down to make an "M." BRILLIANT! Maybe he should turn the mic cube upside down before every promo. Maybe he should start using John Cena's hand signs, but turn them upside down to represent how he has turned Cena's life upside down. Ooh and he could wear Cena's armbands upside down too! Hell maybe he should do a promo by standing on his head to represent how he has turned the entire world upside down. I mean, why stop with just a WWE logo on a belt that spent years spinning all around anyway? |

He was over when he was feuding with the Miz. Give him someone to play off of, and he'll get over. Nobody gave two shits about John Morrison till he started getting involved with Jericho and Sheamus, and eventually, the Miz. If you don't have anyone to play off of, the crowd's not going to care. |

Maybe as a whole, but even then, I disagree.
Miz/Cena has been built well, and last night was the only time since the build started that it came off a bit flat. But it wasn't terrible, either. Cole/Lawler is hands down, IMO, the best feud going into Mania. Lawler destroying Cole is going to be amazing simply for the weeks Cole has built up. Rhodes/Mysterio has been lurking for almost two months, and they are continually making Rhodes look good. Orton/Punk has been solid. Neither man has really laid into the other as they;ve been kept away from each other, and after systematically taking out the Nexus, Orton finally got one upped by Punk last night. Corre/Big Show has been getting built since Barrett showed up on SmackDown!. I don't see how Kane seems forced here. He and Show share a common enemy. The build hasn't been spectacular, no. But it's not horrible. Taker/HHH, Bryan/Sheamus, Morrison, Snooki, Trish/Ziggler, Laycool have been the worst builds going into Mania, and really, the only terrible one has been HHH/Taker, since they've just cut promos on each other the entire time, and have shared the same ring once. The latter two are one/two weeks old, so I wouldn't expect massive builds. The Del Rio/Edge feud is ok. Del Rio is looking vulnerable right now, which spells Mania win for me. Again, nothing great going on, but it's not terrible, either. |

You ever think that WWE might be trying to make it more special when they actually are in the ring at the same time...like the go-home RAW and WRESTLEMANIA?

I'm not entirely sure, as I wasn't paying as much attention as perhaps I should have been, but did WWE advertise a new title? They definately advertised a segment where The Miz would "change Miz-tory". But that could have meant one of many things. I don't remember them outright saying that Miz would be "debuting a new belt". I just re-watched the segment and at no point do they pre-empt a title change other than the gimmickery right at the end of the promo. The way it came across was if you felt slighted by WWE "misleading" you. Kinda like when people cried foul after they didn't "deliver" Sting even though they didn't even hint at him in the first place. And fuck off with the "royalties" comment. People around here play "called it" all the time. Shit, we have a game rigth here that is dedicated to guessing what will happen at WWE PPVs, so don't come at me with that shit. |

I thought the end of Raw was very Miz and fit his character. He's supposed to be an annoying, cocky, dbag. Of course he would think turning the W upside down would be clever. Of course he would oversell it and make a big production out of it.

True, but the build has been sub par. They somehow found ways to keep HBK out of the ring with Taker, yet the build going into it was better than this year's. Personally, I was hoping for monster heel HHH to come back and start trying to destroy Taker at every waking moment. Make H look bat shit insane at ending the streak. Bring back the Triple H of old.

To be fair, HBK did attack the Undertaker at least once and cost Taker the title so it made Taker want revenge after initially showing no interest in HBK. At the same time, HBK was developing into an obsessive character that wanted revenge from his previous Mania loss and didn't care what he did to get his rematch.
It would have been better for Triple H to keep referencing their last Mania matchup as a reason why he wanted to end the streak and say how its been bugging him for years that loss. Instead the WWE wanted everyone to forget their WM 17 ever occurred. |

Raw was mediocre, especially considering I've been very impressed with the show leading up till last monday. Next weeks raw should definitely make up for this weeks poor showing though. |
