Also Tensai stole Kurrgan the Interrogator's finisher with that hand claw thing...

Still watching Raw as we speak. Just enjoyed the first Mark Henry match since whenever D'Lo Brown running powerbombed him. Awesome match and kind of surprised.

I kind of hope that next week John Laurinaitis forces CM Punk to defend the WWE Title against Mark Henry in a Steel Cage Match -- so "Punk can't get himself counted out to retain his title." The finish sees Henry grab Punk as he is trying to escape, and Punk manages to fight Henry off and send him crashing to the mat. Chris Jericho runs out with a steel chair and begs Punk to come off the cage so he can get whacked with it. Punk then defiantly hits a Savage Elbow into Henry and pins him.
A) It gives Punk a credible victory over a monster heel. B) It continues to build to Punk vs. Jericho at Extreme Rules. C) It would be fucking awesome. |

Lord Tensai's gimmick is kinda lame, love his moves though.
Everything else was brilliant. Really hoping Brock destroys Cena to give him more self-doubt and a more interesting character. |

Was they chanting "shave yr back" to Tensai during his match?
Pretty sure I heard it along with the A-Train chants

Haven't seen anything of RAW yet except for Lesnar. And holy shit. I kinda spoiled it for myself by checking Twitter, so I just went and watched it, but fuck man. That was amazing. And the crowd went legit insane. Probably the biggest immediate pop since the days of Austin's height. Yes, it was a smarter/hardcore fanbase, but holy shit the pop and chants were amazing.
So happy to see Brock back. As much of an asshole he is, as much of a crybaby he can be, I can't wait to see this beast wrestle again. |

Going to Raw week after next in London, the YES! chants had better make their way across the Atlantic.

That Daniel Bryan dark match/segment was fucking incredible. The true definition of an overnight sensation.
Overall Raw was fantastic this week. One of the best and most memorable Raw in years. Mostly due to the crowd, but everything just went really well. The matches themselves were pretty average, but the booking and the promos and of course, the crowd, made this an incredible show. |

The responsibility falls on you tonight, Smackdown! crowd. Continue the YES! chants, force Vince's hand, and let the clusterfuck of WM 28 be DB's catalyst to superstardom.
Oh and... BROCK LESNAR |

I think Cena needs to disappear for a while, make a surprise return to go after Brock and do the sporadic appearance thing. It's the best thing for his character to not have him on tv every week. Lets guys like Punk get more over too and reach that next level.

Speaking of Punk, I would give my left testicle to see him beat Rock next year at WrestleMania and retain the WWE title.

Damn, gutted I missed Raw. Had to leave Miami yesterday to get back for classes/couldn't really afford to stay an extra night. Crazy crowd. All I saw were British football shirts (nothing new for Wrestlemania weekend) but wow. Seemed like the 50/50 of Americans and internationals made it pretty special. Goes to show how truly happy everyone was with Wrestlemania this year as they turned up at Raw the next night in amazing spirit. It's never usually like that.

Raw makes me miss the Monday night wars. It's ridiculous NOW to think that grown men used to get together in droves and throw parties for wrestling on Monday night but last night's Raw would have been worthy of one.

I said nothing about how it ended up or how on fire he was 8 months later...
But he was easily the next big thing when he first got his push. His character becoming more "Hogan-esque" in it's mass pandering and the fact that WWE has been so shitty at long-term booking for so long screwed it up but you can't tell me he was simply "the best option". That's completely downplaying how over he was. |

Santino is just as fucking over right now, but he isn't ready to be thrust into that spot.

There's a pretty big difference between Santino and John Cena circa 2004. lol

They both are cartoonish characters who are over huge, getting great crowd reactions, have gimmicky moves over, held midcard championships, and been teased in main event matches with success.

? Umm... define "cartoonish". lol
You can't seriously tell me you don't see how John Cena could have been looked at as the next mega-star in wrestling and Santino isn't. Jesus. They're night and day. Cena was a serious contender who was actually having serious, good matches and feuds in the main event with guys like Lesnar and The Undertaker. Santino is a comedy character who was generally getting squashed and used as fodder and then had one week where he tasted a main event tease and then the next night was beaten in like one minute by the champion to re-establish his place. Really, James Steele? Really? |
