WWE Raw 25th March 2013 - LIVE Discussion

[Crippler]

Highlight of Raw: Heyman running the urn for a touchdown.

 

[We Are Legion]

The Chargers should sign him.

I don't think I can handle anymore 3 hour, 20 minute Raws

I'm with you on that one.

So I'm guessing everything for Mania has been finalized and we know what the show is.

Most of the night was meh, not sure why the show was full of squash matches. Should've atleast had two matches that should've showcased some smaller named guys. You can prevent 3 hour fatigue by having atleast 2-3 matches that go past 20 minutes. Would save alot of creative ideas, that could be used for better things, like focusing on angles instead of storylines.

Undertaker looked healthy tonight. Definitely made me more excited for his WM match.

 

[Andrew]

Taker looks in the best shape since 04.

 

[AF.]

I wouldn't go that far but he always prepares for Mania well and looks up to the part each year. He truly is the all time great of professional wrestling.

 

[Gimmick]

I still don't know what to think about the Rock/Cena segment last night. It had its moments, but I think it seriously brought out the flaws in this rematch. There's still no real reason given as to why this match should happen. It's because Cena wants to win the 'big one'? Is winning the WWE title 10 times not good enough? It's because he 'has to'? Wasn't that his reason last year as well?

It's an angle that clearly has no direction. I get why WWE want to go with this match, they simply think it will draw. However, kayfabe wise their excuses have been piss poor, and to me it's just not making for a good build-up.

Taker looks in the best shape since 04.

NO! 2007 was his best shape.

 

[Crippler]

Heyman picking up the urn and RUNNING AWAY, gif worthy.

I really enjoyed that final segment, thought it was pretty decent and that both guys brought it.

One thing that really annoyed me about it though and threw me off was that stupid comment from Cena about not hanging out with Rock since WrestleMania. That to me made no sense, why would he want to hang out with the guy who he had beef with, lost to and then ultimately sent his life spiralling down.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I actually enjoyed most of the debate between Cena/Rock. It brought out a lot of animosity that the match truly needed. The ending though came off awkward and even anti-dramatic.

I took it as first at Rock standing up for himself to prove he wasn't scared of losing to Cena then it just turned into a cliche back and forth of finishers for the Rock to come out ahead. It really made it look like Cena really has to overcome this year which didn't need to be accomplished. We already should know that. The debate should have just been left with something more subtle waiting for you to see who was more focused coming into Wrestlemania instead of a little altercation which just favors one guy.

Here's what I got out pof the final segment.

Cena saying he didn't win the big one,means he doesn't have that one major victory in a feud that will define his career.

Rock had Austin at Mania, Cena doesn't really have that career defining feud.

Also, both are breaking character at times and say things out of character, and it is meant to produce more interest, Because people in our circles are the wasiest people to work.

 

[AF.]

Amazing final segment. Really dug it and thought both men brought it. Would have rather seen Cena get the advantage over Rock because he was the dominant one on the mic in the segment, but we still have next week and I see Cena doing something big to draw in people for WrestleMania.

 

[Troy]

Seems like I didn't miss too much on this show. I caught a replay of the final segment and I really enjoyed it. It was a nice idea having those legends there to ask the questions of Rock/Cena and I think that both guys did well. It kept serious and it showed more depth to this feud. Cena is still missing this huge win, yes he has done everything else there is to do in wrestling but he doesn't have that win over the legend. To me I see it as Cena feeling that he is inferior to the previous generation because of that.

Also don't think I didn't notice Cesaro picking up a win over the World champion
