The only thing that will make some of you happy is if CM Punk comes out and "shoots" every week.

Such a good ending to Raw. It's storylines and putting pieces and parts together like that which I love as a fan. Heymans masterplan finally unveiled and just when it looked like he had no one left to save him, out cones Brock Lesnar and delivers an F5 to Vince McMahon. Great moment. It's just a shame that it means were getting Brock Lesnar vs Triple H II at Wrestlemania.

I'm not even really talking about any ONE member in specific. It's just funny to me everyone was like "  WWE! I'm DONE! BOYCOTT!, etc" and now everyone is marking out like a little schoolgirl because of Brock. They complain about Rock being given the strap, but the dude sells, crowd loves him and he's actually BEEN at a lot of the shows lately. Then they turn around and PRAISE Lesnar who shows up once every 6 months when he F5's McMahon. Funny to me. This is what wrestling fans do. Lesnar doesn't show up and get inserted into the title match, and he actually puts people over |

The downside to all this though is that Punk is getting shifted to the side for Wrestlemania. The only logical way he can be included in the WWE Championship Match at Wrestlemania is if he wins at Elimination Chamber, which simply isn't going to happen. The Undertaker is the only other person he can be paired with, but I have no care for the Match since it has no real meaning and is simply thrown together for the sake of it.
While the seeds have been planted for Brock Leanar vs Triple H II, I'm not sure they know themselves where Punks going in all this. The only thing I can see Punk gaining from this whole ordeal is if he beats Undertaker at Wrestlemania with help from Lesnar, The Shield and Maddox and goes into the rest of the year with his new Faction, but the chances of that happening are next to nothing.
So it looks like while we may have some entertaining mic work from Heyman, Lesnar, Triple H and Vince, this years Wrestlemania is going to be the most predictable one in years. I think the biggest letdown is the fact that there were so many possibilities and routes they could of gone down. The likes of Brock Lesnar vs The Rock, Undertaker vs John Cena, Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar, even Vince McMahon vs Brock Lesnar or The Rock vs CM Punk vs John Cena, yet were stuck with a complete repeat of what we've had, which is a waste if you ask me.

I'm in the 'Raw was pretty crappy' boat. There were actually a few really good segments, but it's a 3 hour show and nearly 2 hours of that is tripe.

I did like Punk's clever little shot at The Rock by mentioning he'd take his rematch this weekend at one of three live events that The Rock most certainly wouldn't appear at. Of course, though, they just ignored it and carried on, and it seemed to completely go over the audience's head.

Tensai.
It wasn't working with him as a "monster heel" (god i hate that term...) so lets go the extreme opposite and turn him into a goofball. That might work, at least to Brodus Clay status which is better than nothing.

I think it's set for brock vs Hhh again. He attacks his father in law etc = rematch. Blah. I find it really hard to believe Triple H is coming back with that hair. |

Lesnar's return was done great, can't say I'm as excited for Triple H/Lesnar again as I was last time. Winner is obvious, but I can't say much - I wanted Brock/Undertaker. lmao. |

I know I'm beating a dead horse at this point, but these 3 hour Raws make it impossible to watch the show live.

I was thinking near the end of that segment one of two things. Because we all know no one ever gets fired when McMahon tries to. I was thinking either the Shield is coming out or maybe, we'll get Lesnar's return. Sure enough I was super excited to see him come out and lay out the Chairman.
Heyman was hilarious with the "That wasn't me." and "What did you do!!!?"

RAW sucked besides the end segment and Cesaro/Orton. Also, anything that Jericho does is gold.
I also may become the next Anvil Fan if Tensai continues to be as entertaining as he was tonight.

Heyman was hilarious with the "That wasn't me." and "What did you do!!!?" Well unless the person is really leaving, like when he fired Bischoff as GM. It was also good, when he just had his face in his hand, not even looking at either, and kept begging Vince to leave the ring. |
