-- There is still a lot of speculation that Ric Flair will be the next general manager of RAW, but as of Tuesday evening there was still nothing confirmed about who will play the role.

-- USA Network is doing everything they can to increase ratings because network exec Bonnie Hammer wants to win the cable ratings race every single week now that the NBA Finals are done. The commercial-free RAW is completely USA Network’s idea because they are in a ratings war with TNT and feel this will give them an edge. There is tremendous stress on the creative team right now because it’s their job to put together the best show possible next week to impress the (expected) increased audience.

-- Michael Hayes has been writing a large portion of CM Punk’s promos, and also recently received a promotion.

I'd love to see Flair return as GM, whats taking them so long to get him on TV?

It'd be hilarious to me if RAW ratings bombed this up-coming Monday.

Soon, CM Punk will start complaining about the amount of Mexicans working at McDonalds, and the amount of black people holding the United States Championship.

A certain Punt by the Legend Killer maybe a key Factor. The punt took out Vince, Shane, Tista, HHH who are all pretty much young, fit and Healthy Compared to Flair. And the were out for a couple of months. So they cant have Flair come back after two weeks can they. But yeah i wouldn't mind seeing Flair as GM.

ughhhh Raw is so redundant! You know HHH won't win the title, you know Flair will become GM and try to help him win the title but fail due to Legacy... then you know Flair will make the match a HIAC or something at Bash! AHHH

Throw us a curveball WWE PLEASE!

^^^ They just did remember, Vince sold RAW to Donald Trump.

Flair's selling the punt that Orton gave him.

Damn - some people are NEVER satisfied. The E has been throwing curveballs ALOT lately, geeze, everyone thought Flair would be announced last week in NC, you know you had your ass there for the WHOLE 3 hours waiting for the WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to hit the speakers and for the crowd to erupt, never happened, Vince sells Raw to Trump - DID NOT SEE THAT COMING - we get a LMS match on RAW for FREE this MONDAY - DID NOT SEE THAT COMING... Give the product a chance wordlife, go smoke up, mellow out and return happy.




oh yeah - I would like it if the E gave the character more control over their promos, Punk is intelligent and from seeing his ROH promos is pretty damn good on the mic, what the hell does a 90 year old has been who drinks, smokes and is BLATANTLY racist know about being straight edged????? Now I see why I have not been enjoying Punks promos recently.

But, we've seen Orton vs HHH in an LMS already. So it's not like its anything new, or like it's going to be any good either.

 

[seX-Power]

So Hayes is the one writing Punk's shitty promos...

Did you see the first Orton/HHH LMS? That was one of the best matches that I have ever seen in the WWE. The second one was great until they had to cut it short...
