Delete yourself now. New storylines is something you've wanted. They did that. Ending Cole/Lawler is something you've wanted. They did that. Miz not being in the main event is something you've wanted. They did that. Yet it's still bad? They will NEVER please you. Stop posting here because you could write the show and you'd still poop on it. I put that space there, as good things. I'm glad Michael Cole isn't as annoying. I'm glad they're coming up with different stories..they just aren't showing much promise at all. It's one  ing week. Give it time. Things you've wanted happen and it's still bad. You can't have something go your way and then say it's a bad show when those things happened. |

It IS stupid. Am I supposed to care about her and why she's crying? Did they really need to zoom in on her face for a minute or so? Does anyone care about any of those diva's anyway? It's building her as a character, sure..but it's just 'meh'. If I don't care about the divas and don't know anything about Kharma, this storyline isn't going to mean anything. Why not follow her as a character through-out the show? Just in small segments backstage for us to actually get to know this character? Then again, why doesn't this happen with any character through-out a show? We'll see someone for maybe one segment and they will wrestle, but backstage antics are what put a character into the person. Being a large black women doesn't. And it's why the Diva's are so damn boring is because they don't have a character at all. Just because Bret Hart is around doesn't make anything golden. It just seems like an idea thrown together for no reason (much like almost every WWE storyline) which doesn't have a good feeling or great payoff either. If they dedicated time to giving the Divas a character, you'd poop on that for wasting time on the Divas. I won't even get into thrown together storylines with you. If characters were ever believable, I'd like it. But they aren't. All women amount to in WWE are idiotic screamers or bitches that hate each other without any real reason why. On top of that, they're horrible actors usually and don't know how to emote even though they're in an entertainment business and would be looked over in a highshool play (did you see Laycool's psychologists segments? Ugh. They didn't even come off as proper 'bitches' more so just annoying people that couldn't get heat, so they just had them be annoying like every other heel, because they don't know how to build a decent female heel (or any heel) so they just have them be loud or annoying. Example? Miz Michael Cole Laycool Vickie R-Truth (he says the dumbest poop ever..hence, my username) What is 'my' way? I don't have a 'way'. I just like characters that are actually characters. I don't EVER come up with crap that would make me happy, until now...the only thing that would make me happy is that if there were a damn character to actually get behind. |

It just seems like an idea thrown together for no reason ( much like almost every WWE storyline) which doesn't have a good feeling or great payoff either. Yeah, I really can't disagree with this. This seems the be the exact direction the WWE is taking things. Completely running on autopilot. You'll see shades of great television, only for it to fizzle out the week after. WE aren't the target market, and that's totally understandable, if they can run the company like this and still get ratings then kudos to them. However, as a fan of the business for over 10 years now, it's kinda shocking to realize that in a 2 hour long show, nothing particularly interesting happened. Extreme Rules created some wonderful moments. I will never forget how elated I was when Christian won that world title. I get the occasional doubts as to why I'm watching and then something like that happens and it takes you back to being a little kid again. and that's why it's so damn frustrating, because the potential to put on a great show is there. In fact, WWE's roster right now is the best it's been in YEARS, imho. It's just not being realized because it doesn't need to be. Which is why, I can't understand people praising shows like last night, and the past few episodes of RAW. AND, on the same level, I can't how people can trash TNA with the same mindset. There has been very little to like in the WWE as of late. |

Great Raw tonight!!
Lovely Macho tribute video & amazing attire from Punk! Big Show angle was interesting. Really intriguing Kharma segment! Loved the Riley/Miz break up, entertaining opening seg with Hart, Truth & Cena & a really feel good main event.

Former WWE Creative Writer Chris DeJoseph (Big Dick Johnson) tweeted: “Only in death #MachoMan was allowed back on WWE TV. Such a shame. Such Hypocrisy makes me sick. I was always told never to mention the name #MachoMan EVER!” Just thought I'd leave that here. That is a shame. What was the deal? I've never heard the story why all the hate on Mach? Piper said yesterday that Macho slapped Vince in a bar. Considering the only person to return after hitting Vince was Bret after 13 years (an different circumstances) I'd imagine that is the real reason. As far as Johnson goes, WWE has been working with Macho Man for about a year now. It's not like Vince said how much he hated him on Thursday, then this happened. Savage hadn't shown up on TV or anything, but it's obvious things were getting better. |

Which of the two TV companies have in depth women's characters that are more than just 'screaming bitches'? Give you a hint, it's neither of them. You act as if being loud is a bad thing. Truth and Miz are not annoying. Cole was terrible, I give you that. LayCool were neither loud nor annoying. Your way is how you want things to go. Those things have happened yet you find something else to complain about. They would give you every last request you have and you'd still rate the show a 2/10. It doesn't matter what they do, they will never impress you that is unless they have a terrible show with minimal wrestling because you are apparently a non-wrestling fan when it comes to the WWE. |

That's why Vince hates him. Not because of a slap or anything with Stephanie. |

@joeystyles: Kofi's trunks and kick pads were created by 6 year old Luke M. of Alberta, Canada who won @wwemagazine's WWE Kids Magazine contest. That's really cool on Kofi's part. Makes sense too, cause they really were pretty bad looking. |

I only watched part of RAW tonight, but I viewed the photos online and Punk's ring gear was simply awesome. I'm actually kinda surprised the WWE let him wear it considering how strict they take kayfabe nowadays. Definitely glad they did, though, as it was pretty sweet. CM Punk is a class act, shows how much he respects this industry.

WWE has 95% of their roster wear their gear 24/7, with an exception to whomever is doing the suit gimmick. Jericho before, Miz now.
But I really liked how they let Punk wear shorts before his match, to save the moment for the Main Event when he exposed the Macho Man attire. Really cool to see.

There's little doubt that Punk volunteered to be put in that Sharpshooter... but this is so fustrating, watching him lose all the damn time.

That was such a boring Raw. It wasn't terrible like always, but nothing stuck out other than complete stupidity. Big Show getting hit by a car- Stupid Obama Flashback- Stupid Kharma crying-Stupid Bret Hart being around because of some stupid connected from over 15 years ago- stupid At least the Miz is out of the title picture Michael Cole isn't as annoying Delete yourself now. New storylines is something you've wanted. They did that. Ending Cole/Lawler is something you've wanted. They did that. Miz not being in the main event is something you've wanted. They did that. Yet it's still bad? They will NEVER please you. Stop posting here because you could write the show and you'd still poop on it. Slappy you know he's just looking for a response. No logic applies here. Just leave it alone and maybe this sh*t will die down. |

And no, I'm not looking for a response. I watch Raw and I post my opinion and have discussions on here. I don't 'look' for a response, but I don't mind a discussion at all. |

I just have a quick question about the main even from the 24th. I was at the event and had pretty good seats, a couple rows above the floor so I saw all of the action pretty well. I skimmed the recording when I got home and I didn't see Punk hit the double axe handle, it looked like Bret was in front of the camera when he hit Cena. But since I was only skimming I might have missed it. If they didn't catch that on camera they need new camera men, haha, it was really one of the highlights of the night.

I was thinking about something: Riley's crowd pop when he turned on the Miz spoke not to Riley's popularity, but Miz's strength as a heel.
