So now Miz/Cole are having a lovers tiff on commentary? More great inconsistencies from the WWE.

Cole is stroking Cena's dick on commentary so of course there is a lover's quarrel

Why didn't Miz just lock the door instead of holding it shut? He's not so smart afterall.

Thoughts on RAW:

- HHH comes out and cuts a perfectly fine promo. Sheamus comes out and they have a nice brawl which ends with a nice spot. Poor Sheamus. They should really use jobbers for these types of angles. Sheamus should have been booked into a WrestleMania feud with Evan Bourne or Daniel Bryan, but knowing WWE they will randomly throw some matches together at the last second.

- Evan Bourne's return was nice, but to no crowd reaction whatsoever.

- Randy/CM Punk's feud progressor was great once again. They keep adding steam to this fued week in week out and it's coming along nicely.

- Cole and Lawler steal the show once again. This is pure gold and the WWE needs to use this set-up for Miz/Cena. It's simple, and great.

- Miz's promo was coming along nicely, only to be completely ruined by Cena. Cena says 'Miz you wonder why people don't take you seriously' which completely buries Miz, as I take him seriously especially after the promo he just cut. Cena fucked this segment over badly. Terrible booking.

- LOL Diva's. The division has no direction whatsoever, and needs to be fucked off immediately.

- The Rock's promo was great, as always. Would have been infinitely better if he was Live.

- Shawn Michaels' speech was underwhelming. Once again, he should be Live.

- Main Event is your typical clusterfuck. I can't remember a build to a WrestleMania main event as bad as this in a long time. Maybe the TT from WM 25, but this is so much worse. It seems as though WWE are relying on The Rock too much. Sure, he should be involved but you need to focus on the Cena/Miz aspect, because, ya know, those are the guys that will be fucking WRESTLING the MAIN EVENT of a WRESTLEMANIA.

- No Undertaker. :|
- Riley and Miz are now split, this makes the Miz 50% less interesting.
- Daniel Bryan and Sheamus wasted.
- No Morrison.
- No new feuds/WrestleMania matches.

Booking was absolutely terrible tonight. They got it right for Punk/Orton and Lawler/Cole, but have completely fucked the life out of Cena/Miz, it's got no steam whatsoever.

Awful Raw and they should be embarassed about delivering a show of that quality leading into their premiere PPV. Think you pretty much nailed the breakdowns of each segment though.

Just thought I'd point out why have Taker on Raw when they have been building his return to smackdown? Would have kind of been stupid.
