Only saw the last half of RAW but it was good. Will have to remember to tune in earlier next week.

After this episode I must say that I became a big fan of Brad Maddox, The Call movie, Fandango and Hollywood Barrett. Great episode, 9 on the IMDb ranking scale (1pt deduction for lack of Ryder).

Ryder took his jobber status to Superstars where he faced JTG.

I still think using Paul Bearer to gain heat for this program is in bad taste, and I think the entire rehashing of the first segment all night was just dilluting any heat for CM Punk.

Most of the show was pretty good, seeing as the mainevent players at Mania, were not on the show. This really didn't feel like 3 hours.

Bellas are back, guessing Cena using some stroke to get his woman on the road with him. Not complaining.

Zigglers crew actually being useful? What a concept!!

Minus points for the Highlight Reel, Brad Maddox sucks, and is channelling his inner Adamle all over the place.

Why would that shock any of us?

Damn... Even as fake, that was overboard

Way overboard. This was just a stupid urn. Just as I predicted, I knew WWE would use Bearer's death to gain cheap heat for Punk as soon I read the thread which said that he had passed away.

Going to watch this in a few minutes.

Pretty damn good Raw overall.... touching tribute to start things off had me a little choked up. Would rather they didn't use Punk for the cheap heat, but thought it was done in an ok manner. (Bearer's sons were at the show and I wonder if the angle wasn't run by them first)... Love that they included Kane and was glad to see a bit of the big red monster come out of him.... Never crossed my mind that Lesnar would attack NAO so I marked a bit there.... Like how they gave a glimpse towards a Cody Rhodes face turn with him wanting to hang with Kaitlyn instead of the Bella's..... Still up in there on Brad maddox.... Fandango has been great so far, not sure why but I love the way he's being used right now.... Good to see Ziggler finally get a win.... IC Title 3-way could be good if they let Miz and Jericho work a majority of the match.... US champ continues to get buried on TV, I think [MENTION=2]Troy[/MENTION] wondered why they don't feed a non title holder to the likes of Del Rio, Orton, Ryback, etc.... every week, and I agree...... Not sure why you have Punk take the 3 count to Kane as part of the setup for a match with Taker, shouldn't they be doing everything possible to make us think Punk has a chance at ending the streak? Getting pinned by Kane does that how?.... and again to end the show, not a fan of using Bearer as part of the angle but as long as they don't cross any lines with it, I can live with it

Good to see Ziggler get a win, its about fucking time that Big E and AJ stopped getting themselves over for 2 seconds and were used to actually benefit Ziggler like they should be doing.

Makes no sense why Cesaro is losing every week, seriously over and over again put in against the Main Event stars just to lose. These days in WWE you cant look good in a losing match. WIth all the jobbers WWE have surely they can feed ADR and Orton one of them, or at least give Cesaro a win over a jobber in beteen all his loses.

The whole Kane-Taker-Bearer-Punk this was kinda messy. As expected WWE aim to benefit over a real life death, then they give Kane a win over Punk when Punk is meant to be built up to beat the streak. I can see why they had Kane win, as a feel good moment to mark Bearers passing. But Punk doesn't seem anymore likely to win now. Really Punk should have won the match but then gets laid out by BOD post match and they pose for Bearer. That way Punk gets the win and we get the feel good ending (and for once a feel good ending that doesn't end with Cena saluting the crowd or Sheamus brogue kicking his 100th victim for the night).
