WWE RAW 6th August 2012 - LIVE Discussion

[Crippler]

Was kinda hoping for a non finish myself. Really liked that speech from Punk. Didn't exactly end great but I understand it for build up purposes.

That's what i meant cause we all knew Bryan wasn't going to win B:

 

[Chris]

I thought Raw was pretty good tonight, kept my interest better than last week's did (other than that opening segment), and it had a lot of WRESTLING.

 

[We Are Legion]

Well I thought this week's episode was decent. I actually really enjoyed most of the segments tonight. Bryan/Cena was also a very unexpected treat.

I am seriously surprised at how big time Bryan Daniel is becoming, it's ridiculous. His "NO!" chants are making the fans chant "YES!" even louder than before. WWE truly has a goldmine with this guy, it's just a shame they didn't sign him sooner. He's easily the most entertaining wrestler in the WWE right now, no contest.

AJ Lee can fuck off. Bitch is horrible on the mic. I have no idea why so many people jump on her bandwagon. All she does is smile well, like seriously, that's IT. She wrestles well too obviously, but we're probably not gonna see that anytime soon.

I am utterly mindfucked as to what WWE is trying to do with CM Punk right now.

Oh, and I think we can all agree that these WWE.com polls to feign fan interaction in deciding who should wrestle who are complete bullshit. Yeah sure, I'm gonna believe most of those people voted for Rey Mysterio to wrestle CM Punk, and not the Intercontinental Champion in a "Champion vs. Champion" match. Get the fuck out of here, WWE. Though it was fairly obvious those polls were bullshit a couple weeks ago when allegedly 1/3 of the WWE audience voted for a Divas Championship match over the US and IC titles for Raw 1000th. Uh huh.

 

[We Are Legion]

Oh yeah and fuck Kelly Kelly too. Wasn't that dork supposed to leave or something?

 

[NotReallyaGoodUN]

Didn't someone say it looked like Ryback had pink eye.

Enraged Brock Lesnar reportedly assaults fellow WWE superstar - National MMA | Examiner.com

There's a conspiracy theory that Brock "Beast" fucked him up. Metaphorically speaking.

For those wondering, John Cena got up and did an intro for Shawn Michaels. Shawn came out and said a few words before HHH came out. CM Punk then got in the rig and talked about how he had Shawn's autograph from when he was 15. He thanked both Shawn and HHH for letting him be with them At Summerslam a few years back. He left and Shawn and HhH goofed around a bit before Vince came out and said he's been like Shawn's dad and tells him he loves him son. The whole roster came out and stood as Shawn was about to make a speech but Taker came out and talke about their matches. Shawn is finally gonna make a speech but Big Johnny comes out an gets super kicked. Shawn thanks everyone before super kicking Big Johnny again. He did it one last time when leaving the ring. Also he got a plaque.

Sounds pretty damn awesome.

I think they're in a good groove booking wise. The shows don't seem so all over the place and strained for time with things now and I can appreciate that.
A few things:

- Andrew, Rey used that symbol in WCW forever ago. It's a crown and a question mark. Rey Mysterio literally translates from Spanish into, "King Mystery." You're welcome.

- Punk has me confused but curious as to where he's going. I think that's a good thing, keeping viewers tuned in to see what happens next.

- I was disappointed that Brock didn't attack HBK tonight. I assume this happens in a pre-filmed segment next week and airs while HHH cuts a promo or it happens the day of Summerslam since Shawn WILL be backstage somewhere. Either way, it adds a little more interest to the match. I still don't have an idea of who is going over in that one.

- I'm kinda annoyed with Orton already. He's doing the same thing he did before the suspension. At least with Cena it is slightly different on occasion.

- I still like AJ as GM. It's working. You don't have to be a master on the mic to be a GM but she's decent. When she snapped early on in the show it sold me a little more on her to know she wasn't afraid to put her foot down. The WWE is doing well mixing her past storylines and crazy personality with her responsibilities as GM. At least she's not only out to book fucking tag matches constantly playah.

- Is it just me or is the WWE slowly mixing their new stars with the current cemented top stars and giving us SEVERAL people that are World Title worthy? I like this booking.

- I look forward to Wade Barrett back on tv. I've missed him.

That's all I think. I think I'd give the show about a 3 out of 5 star rating personally. It just worked for me, although I'm not crazy crazy picky.

Thought it was pretty obvious what the ? question mark thing meant given Mysterio/Mystery alone lol.

Cerbs not sure why it was actually hard to think that people voted for Rey/Punk considering how popular Rey is with the fans. Even if it was rigged I'm not exactly upset in that instance as that was the best possible match out of the 3 choices.

 

[Andrew]

I never watched WCW so excuse me for asking, but hey at least I asked

 

[AF.]

Rey/Punk being voted in makes complete sense. WWE does it so 2 heels go up against 1 face, the face wins every time.

 

[PHX]

Kane isn't exactly heel though. His alignment seems to just go with whoever he is facing at the time and Punk isn't completely heel so think they had 2 matches no matter how they mixed and matched it.

 

[Heisenberg]

With 3 hours, you'd think they'd air something big like this. But then again, they don't want to lose all that future "DVD-extra footage" money they'll make someday!

Decent RAW, a bit of filler but it's okay.. One thing I wanna say is, I'm a big Lesnar mark and I'm really liking we get to see a match at SummerSlam, especially against HHH. But the build for the match has been pretty weak. Forgettable tbh. Could of been done better and more appearances.

Was waiting all night for the epic HBK beatdown by Brock and didn't get it. Left me feeling meh about Raw.
