    I really hope that that is the case. I remember mentioning it in one of my posts, I think it was in this thread, that Michael McGillicutty should change his name now since they are recognising Tamina's family legacy so why not Hennings.

    Alright everyone lets try to keep this focussed on RAW from here on. I know that I am guilty of going off track a bit as well but let's keep this thread for discussion on RAW tonight since it was a good show. All the other stuff can be put in another thread if someone wants to start one, I...

    The thing with PG is that they are getting more money from sponsors so it cancels itself out. Back to RAW in the end I thought that it was an enjoyable show. HHH/HBK was the best bit but I enjoyed almost everything else on the show, just wish a couple of the matches were a bit longer.

    But one thing that you need to consider is the fact that back in 2001 they had one brand. WWE have two now that run seperate house show routes each week. I agree that attendances are down across the board but they are still doing well considering they are running twice as many house shows now...

    I think that Kofi actually has what it takes to be a world champion, WWE just need to get behind him and push him more. He showed me tonight that he can actually cut a decent promo, WWE now need to give him more promo time in the leadup to WM as he would be one of the favourites to win MITB.

    I hope that WWE reward places like this and run events there more frequently. They have had a few excellent crowds last year where the fans went crazy and WWE should milk it for all it is worth. For me I have to admit that I look at how many signs there are because a lot of signs means that...

    What I meant was with his gimmick the way it is there is no way he will never become a maineventer. There is a small chance that he will be able to make it there with a gimmick tweak but I still can't see it with him. I hope that I am wrong but he just doesn't scream maineventer to me.

    Clearly there were 7231 people there. Also I counted 327 signs, how many did you count?

    The news outlets normally post the crowd figures every couple of weeks so we will be able to find out what the crowd was then. Even if it wasn't sold out I think that the crowd was fantastic all night, they were so loud and vocal and most importantly got involved in every single thing that...

    I don't really see Ryder as a maineventer anyway, especially with this gimmick. He can maybe float around the upper midcard card but mainly his spot will be in the US/IC title scene.

    Well the good news should be that this angle will be finished next week after Elimination Chamber. Then as I mentioned before Ryder should "heal his injuries" and then participate in the MITB match at WM.

    I am actually surprised at how long his popularity has lasted for. I thought that it would stop once he made it back to RAW but he (and WWE) have done a great job of milking it for all it is worth. I still think that he can remain an over midcarder in the coming years earning a decent wage. I...

    HHH vs. HBK shouldn't happen. I must be one of the few people that actually wants to believe that a wrestler can stick to their retirement. They can use HBK at WM but in a guest referee role for the match. Cody and Ziggler teaming would have made no sense. They are in different EC matches and...

    He is still on RAW every single week so I count that as a push. He and Santino were the only midcarders shown on RAW tonight, the rest were the six in the EC match and then HHH/HBK/Taker so he is in pretty good company. I thought the same. I expected him to hit something and it looked quite bad.

    Plus when DX do it it isn't real.

    WWE RAW 13th February 2012 - LIVE Discussion

    It is stupid. They still use that move for a real injury and because the refs have ear pieces those backstage can connect with them and find out if it is real or not.

    WWE RAW 13th February 2012 - LIVE Discussion

    Normally yes but since the fans know that they use it in a storyline situation as well as for real injuries.

    He broke both his legs but we have now downgraded that to a slight tear in his jeans.

    That actually looked quite painful. Not sure how Ryder can protect himself with that and he landed knees first. Hopefully the padding was soft enough. Should have ended the segment with Kane laughing at Cena in the ring surrounded by fire.

    That would have been better than this but the only issue with the HHH/HBK segment is it hypes WM28 rather than the Elimination Chamber PPV.
