Also, I think we'd sooner see Punk vs HHH than Punk vs Nash

For some reason, TPWW didn't post what I typed up.
I'm not typing it all up again, but basically, what I said was that the talk between Nash and Laurinaitis will probably be Laurinaitis signing Nash to a contract to compete. |

Dunno. I am probably going to get shit on for saying this, and accused of blatant Unhappy IWCitis, but...
I feel like RAW really lost a whole heckuva lot of steam this week. The Punk stuff was still golden, and I am of course still interested in where it goes... but without the WWE Championship and Cena involved, it just loses a whole lot of steam. Speaking of the WWE Title, it seems to be back to the status quo. New heel champ who cashed in the MitB vs angry face, Cena. Seen this a million times. I also don't get why Cena was so angry. He wasn't even the dude Alberto cashed it in on. Punk and HHH both were like "Meh. That's Money in the Bank." But Cena for some reason is outraged, even after Alberto beats Rey clean for the thousandth time. Yeah. Basically, they could have milked Cena/Punk for even more and continued being red-hot. This week was luke-warm at best. |

I don't understand how you guys can be happy with Nash's promo. CM Punk was awesome in it, but seriously Nash was boring. It was a hype, and it fell down flat.
The ending of Raw was a HUGE let down, no HHH/Cena interaction? WTF is that about? Cena getting "angry" at Del Rio made NO sense at all. Talk about losing steam..... |

like many of you i wanted more punk/nash/hhh answers but think raw did a great job of starting many new directions and if handled well could be really entertaining.
the cons are of course cena right back in the title picture and badly explained. again cena at the expense of mysterio gets in the mix, but thats just the world we live in cena is gonna always be in the hunt or wearing the belt the pros. a slow burn with the mystery of cm punk stuff. who screwed him, who will he go after. could be good with punk becoming more over as he fights through Trip's stips and hopefully a rumble win at the end. the divas didnt look half bad, and i never say that. king and jr giving the inclination tag teams may be getting some love getting vickie over to swagger is good. only pet peeve about the show was hoping truth would keep no music and get jimmy hart guiding him out with the megaphone.ah well |

I really don't get it. A couple of years ago, when someone won the MITB and cashed it in, Cena was okay with it since they had "earned it". But now all of a sudden he is mad at Alberto Del Rio for cashing in his MITB contract. WTF Cena?

Watching Raw on the west coast right now. The commentary during Swagger and Riley was awesome. I loved how Cole was genuinely laughing at everything whether Lawler said it or Dolph. And Dolph's "What!?" during the botched ending was hilarious.

PS It took a while but I think I'm officially a full Dolph Ziggler fan now. And Alex Riley is just not ready. He's got a decent look but no real redeeming qualities past that. Just awful.

I only have a couple "Late to the Party" comment about tonight: -I actually enjoyed commentary. Thouroughly. With Cole not going so fucking overboard with heeling it up, JR there to actually CALL the match, and everyone taking their shots at one another (as opposed to everyone bash Cole all the time... JR or King even agreed with Cole on some points leaving the odd man out to be the contrarian) -Speaking of commentary, they pretty much confirmed the possiblity of strengthening the tag division. I agree the current champs need some sort of "umph" to them, or they'll be forgotten as soon as they lose the belts. As teams go, they're about as over as 'Lo Down. No nexus gear leaves them with no identity, no name leaves them mostly unidentifiable, their new music is pretty generic, and no mic time leaves them with no charisma. As King said, "its like the bland leading the bland". Hell, a step in the right direction would be to have them come out and confront King about that. Or... -Vickie/Dolph/Thwagger. Swagger can use the boost of a mouthpiece-slash-heat machine. Also, this has the makings of an angle where Dolph eventually strikes out on his own (and possibly turns face, if done right), and Vickie takes Jack's adivce and hires multiple clients (or even out and out builds a stable)... which brings me back to the current WWE Tag Team Champions. Really, they're so not over, they're not even clearly defined heels. They're tweeners-by-apathy. Vickie could get them to be hated by association. |

Also, R-Truth getting music was a terrible idea.
Actually, strike that. R-Truth getting music that resembled his old music, complete with "What's up" being heard, is a terrible idea. They had worked so hard and the transformation was so complete that I had nearly forgotten about the R-Truth of old. No music, it was "Here comes R-Truth! That crazy guy!" With the music my first thought was "Here comes R-Truth, the guy who used to sing and dance." Even remixed as it was, it just doesn't fit him at all anymore and is just a reminder of what they should want us to forget. And what the R-Truth character himself wants us to forget. |

I love Truth, but mid-card is fine by me as long as he's on TV most weeks. We've got Del Rio, Punk, Cena, HHH, Nash and Rey (probably) on top right now and while I would prefer Truth instead of Del Rio, I'm not really complaining.

I love Nash as much as the next guy, but something about him coming back and being near the top of the card really bothers me. Again, I'll wait and see how the storyline plays out as it has potential to go somewhere good, and hope that it does.
Plus I am really happy for Del Rio as champ. |

It was probably already said in this thread, but isn't it pretty obvious that Del Rio is the one who somehow got that text sent? "Lay out the winner for me" isn't specific to just Punk.

From PWInsider:
After Raw ended: John Cena called for Alberto Del Rio to come to the ring and started to go to the back. CM Punk came out and forced Alberto into the ring. Cena and Punk hit their finishers on Alberto and grabbed the WWE Title. Ricardo tried to get it and they wouldn't let him have it. They then left the ring together with the title. == Yeah, this IS off-air, but REALLY? Cena and Punk working together? Guess they see Punk as a full-fledged face now. |

Yeah, if Nash coming off flat on his end of the promo with Punk was intended, I'll accept it. But otherwise? Damn, that's kinda saddening. Got the same feeling I got with the whole Rock/Cena back-and-forth earlier this year. I was expecting a lot out of Rock and Cena pretty much verbally owned him. And I've despised post-2005 Cena to no end.
Guess these guys can't bring a 90s-style promo into 2011 for anything more than nostalgia, and Nash isn't immune.. even if he crashes servers. |

It wasn't directly what the instructions were, it was how it was worded. Who calls Nash "Big man" besides his friends? Yes, Of The River gained the most, but we're supposed to doubt the integrity of Triple Doofus right now. Also, we have a list of suspects in Hunter himself, Super Dave, the re-emerged Billion Dollar Princess, and any multitude of Kliq members up to and including HBK. Del Rio simply buying off Nash would be one thing, he has the kayfabe money for it. But with that said, if a guy who flaunts his money can just buy a favor, why go through the trouble of "tricking" Nash into it? |

How was Nash flat at the end? he got his digs in, and taunted Punk back up the ramp.
I think he got over the fact that he thinks Punk is disrespectful and ungrateful. He got his "shoot" digs in with Indyriffic, "youve main evented, what , twice in 5 years" and the Cook dig. I thought he was fine. He stumbled a bit at one point, but its his first Live promo on raw in 7 years. |
