I've got to ask, honestly. What did you make of the Kane segment when he walked out of the ambulance?
He sold the leg, then proceeded to no sell it all while on camera.
I also saw the no sell John Cena sold after the New Day beat down. He was relatively fresh, but he still no sold it.

Well I dunno, I expect the no selling from Kane a little more because it fits in with his original character, kind of like the Undertaker. Although he hasn't done it as of late, it was kind of a throwback to his character in the Attitude Era who no sold often. So it didn't really bother me. And it wasn't a complete no sell...he sold it for a while and then did that stamping thing (which was silly, I admit) but there is no doubt that before that he sold it as if he was hurt.

Cena against the New Day was a complete no sell. Just like the frog splash from Rollins last week. It was if the move didn't hurt at all... and that is more irritating to me than the move hurting but recovering, such as Kane did.

Cut Cena some slack, fellas. He cannot sell because it would make him look weak.

The only cutting Cena should get is the kind that will keep his progeny from populating the Earth.


EDIT: That is a vasectomy joke, not a dick chopping joke.

he's probably 20lbs heavier than he was earlier this year and people like Jericho have done it also. Chalk it up to drinks and a lack of motivation due to what happened. Ryder had the match where he looked AWFUL and a month or two later he was right back.

The hateful Bo gimmick was just too late and wasted IMO, and since he never wins it was pointless. He will job as long as he is in WWE.

His run in NXT was good and he'll most likely never be booked like that again. Shame. Once you hit the main roster, all downhill from there.

off-topic, but... Anyone who knows anything about me as a fan knows how drastic it is for me to say this...
I want to see Kane beat Rollins for the title. *runs*

oh look Deez Nutz is our newest member. nice to see presidential candidates involved on a wrestling forum. Yay!

10/10, because WWE respected it's audience enough to put New Day on at 8:00 and make it easier to turn over to football

Kane beating Rollins, followed by Sheamus cashing in would be the lamest scenario. If that happens, we'll grill yer ass for giving WWE ideas, Snow!

I'll start by saying I recorded raw and watched the next day. Skimmed through the more bboring segments. Divas, cena, miz... you know. But i am finding myself now enjoying the Rollins storyline more and more. I personally liked raw overall this week. And that ending woooo! Both were counted out and played it off like whatever. And pproceeded to beat the hell out of each other.... I mean Bray wyatt threw a tech person at roman, that's decent. Then the crash through the barricade was ok. And although you saw it from a mile away that spear from roman was awesome.

I'm intrigued by the kane/Rollins feud tbh. There was 1 line kane said that has me hoping for a buried alive match (Which I would be fine with Rollins winning.) It's amazing what one man can do with a shovel and a flashlight. And I'd bet HHH comes out to help bury whoever is in the hole. Would be most fitting for kane to lose as much as I llike him.

Good answer, yet in the spirit of being nitpicky (and I do realize that your answer, indeed, is the correct one), I would imagine the pain from Kane's injury would have ceased prior to any movement.
Let's not forget, whenever Kane no sold, the pain from the injury had already left his body by the time he sat up.
Logically speaking, by the time he had arisen from the stretcher he would have been completely 100%.
"Stamping" out an injury is altogether silly (as you pointed out), because Kane's ability to heal his body came from either some internal mechanism or some supernatural force.

I rated your answer accordingly, but gave the segment a 'cringe' because 'stamping' out an injury has never been Undertaker or Kane's method of overcoming injury.

I'm actually strangely enjoying the whole "schizophrenic" angle they're doing with Kane. I know most folks hate Kane and wish he'd just retire already, and I'm certainly not campaigning for him to win the WWE Title or anything, but the occasional switch between his more human (and more-cheerful-than-usual) self and The Big Red Machine is pretty interesting to see. So much so I might even dare say I wouldn't mind them stretching the feud out to Survivor Series.

Of course, I'm a huge mark for the Kane character despite how he's been jobbed out over the years, and him finally turning face again just makes the whole angle feel fresh, too (the segment we've gotten has been cool, too... Specifically a "hurt" Kane emerging from the back of an ambulance and shaking off his injury like he did a couple nights ago on Raw.)

Lockard, normally I love your posts, but in no way can I support Kane being in the main event right now fighting Rollins. There's nothing with or about Kane that can feel fresh. It's dull and inexcusable. Same with show. He's not worthless, just doesn't belong in the main event spotlight. You have all this talent and yet we get the same garbage with a slightly different twist.

I feel they definitely needed to pay off the tension they built between Rollins and Kane though, and to be honest, there aren't exactly a long line of fresh opponents left for Seth to go over (especially if they're actually thinking of keeping the strap on him till Wrestlemania) unless you want to see them hurry Bryan back just so he can job to Rollins, too.

Well they created that tension and that's my issue. Shouldn't have happened.

Have Rollins face a battle royal winner? You could have an off chance person like, idk, ryback or something? Even though ryback would lose, it would be more interesting than Kane.
