[Postman Dave]

2 matches added on Raw last night, the four way is a huge improvement on the original Sheamus/Del Rio match up.

 

[Jimmy King]

I like the idea of it being changed to a fatal four way.

It will be a great match for sure, and as long as Del Rio doesn't win I'll be happy.

Punk/Bryan will no doubt steal the show though, IMO.

 

[Sabretooth]

Chris Jericho will make it good

 

[The Viper]

Chris Jericho will make it good

As will Orton, Sheamus and Del Rio.

All 4 are great competitors. Don't really see how only one of them will make it good.

Jericho is the best though. Orton, Sheamus, and Del Rio are good. Chris Jericho is fucking awesome

Okay but you made it seem like you were taking away from the other 3 guys' abilities by saying none of them will make the match good. When they obviously will.

tag title and preshow match added

this show is going to bomb. Last years show did horribly, near December 2 Dismember levels. The PPV market hasn't improved, and this show has been built terribly.

I normally buy the PPV's and even if I'm out I can always watch them when I get home. This will be one of the first shows in a long time that I haven't bought, and I blame WWE entirely. In fact, its not just this show, I don't even enjoy watching their regular programming any more. Outside of NXT, which I find marginally funny, I have no desire to watch anything else they put on right now.

 

[Sabretooth]

The card looks pretty good TBH

 

[Hoss]

I kinda also think this is a pretty good card. Granted, last Raw was just... putrid... I normally like Raw, and also love Smackdown for the sake of guys like Ryback, Cesaro, and Sandow. WWE's product is far from all-time high's I'd say. Out of 10, it's like 6, as compared to last summer around MITB and SummerSlam when it was more like an 8.5 or 9. I agree that the build is pretty much one of the worst of all-time though.

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

If you ask me the catalyst for the awesome Summer last year was R-Truth's heel turn. It was unexpected as everybody thought John Morrison was going to turn heel. That's what WWE needs right now, something unexpected. A return, a heel turn, something big.

 

[Hoss]

Santino to turn heel and destroy Brodus Clay.

 

[Sabretooth]

WWE has added a "People's Power Battle Royal" to the Over the Limit PPV tonight. The winner will face either U.S. champion Santino or Intercontinental champion Cody Rhodes later in the PPV. WWE made the announcement through their text messaging service Sunday evening.

Well I always like battle royals so this is fine for me.

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

I feel the same, and hopefully the winner of the battle royal will actually be worthy of holding either title given they win the battle royal and win the belt. I have a feeling Otunga will win the battle royal then successfully challenge Santino.
