Raw WWE RAW 31st March 2013 - LIVE Discussion: The Final Showdown

[Heisenberg]

wait what how is that not the best ending, the good guy finally standing tall sending the fans home happy?

I said I enjoyed it but it doesn't feel impactful leading into a show like Wrestlemania. HHH's beatdown felt like a bigger deal. Bryan should of done more.

Like what? Give him an uncomfortable beat down? Not something that makes the people scream "Yes!".

Cause HHH's was a huge fuckin' deal as we've seen that type of beatdown in how many years and it cemented the Bryan/HHH match as a big deal. Done more like what handcuff him and beat him down, do the exact same thing thing as Hunter's he's a good guys how many times have you seen a good guy beatdown a bad guy like he's a piece of shit. Plz stop now the ending was perfectly fine.

 

[Tapout]

Of course Bryan wasn't going to merciless beat down Triple H. First he's a face. What he did was perfect to get the crowd excited to finally see him get some revenge without pushing into heel-like beat down. And second when it was Triple H beating down Bryan it was one on one. Bryan was able to to fight off 3 people. He took all 3 of them down and looked like a beast against all three of his opponents going into Mania.

Brock finally got his heat, better late than never I suppose.

Bryan looked like a beast and gave a taster as to the ass whipping people wanna see him give to HHH. Perfectly done segment.

Cena's backstage promo was good shit and it was a nice little twist they did with him in the ring with the mask. I'd say another perfectly done segment.

Shield / Vets was probably another perfectly done segment. Isolated Kane and gave the tease of the triple powerbomb which we'll now see at WrestleMania.

 

[Deezy]

Apparently Bryan cut a great promo after the show went off the air. Had me thinking "why put it on the aftershow? Those people already paid for Mania." then I thought, "ohhh, makes me think of what I'm missing by not owning this network".

 

[Keith]

An enjoyable go home show raw.

I agree with most than the Bryan attack worked perfectly, also it was quite unexpected as you might have expected him to have appeared before when HHH/Steph were doing their promo.

Some solid matches, and yeah Taker/Lesnar produced their best moment yet.

Long shot prediction, but I somehow see Triple H winning the match. Of course he'll cheat somehow, or just pull an angle where the ref is used as his insurance policy. Bryan still works the championship match though via a last second bit of interference by the Wrestlemania host, Hulk Hogan.

I'm not big on fatal four ways for the title, but the WWE's not above booking it.

Never thought of that as a option, am thinking than Hogan may have a bigger role than just host. Then again that does sound a little too tricky and unconvincing. Think HHH will lose, but could see it being on some kind of outside involvement or heel screw up.

And it would be rehash of what Rock did as host of WM a few years back, when the match seemingly ended on a double count-out draw and said it had to continue. Total long shot going that route, but I could see them trying to pull some sort of swerve to make the fans think at least for a second that Trips denied Daniel Bryan's spot in the title match.
