With Vladimir Kozlov fired, I some what actually see Ryder/Santino forming a Tag Team and actually becoming Tag Champions. Both are already over with the crowd and it's a good way to use Ryder tbh.

I don't like it. It's a bad time for me. I'm not doing anything else from 9-11. And I like to watch it on my couch, not on my computer chair :p

Thanks for the offer though.

Haha fair enough, I am hoping the discussions are heavy here tonight. Just 25 minutes until RAW begins, should be shaping up to be a brilliant show.

I am not so keen on them having a contract signing for the WWE Title match, I know it makes sense for such a big match, and there are bound to be great things with Punk involved, still I think it is a over used thing in WWE, if they just bought it out every six or eight months it would be very effective. The problem is also they tend to follow the same patten, and very little actually happens during them.

I remember years ago watching the Bret Hart-Yokozuna one before Wrestlemania 9, with Zuna shoving the table into the Hitman's rib and attacking him, and I was just gob smacked. Now that was a contract signing!

Ten minutes to go now, looking forward to an eventful night.

Contract Signing will be huge, I don't see any of them brawling but a hectic promo. I'd probably mark out if HHH gave Cena the Pedigree because it would give us a massive WTF reaction.

So Triple H opens the show again.

Boos for Cena's name and a mixed reaction for Punk's name.

Cena's match is up first.

Why does this feel rushed for some reason?

Nice promo to start with Cena has his first match and it's right now... He's so hated. You can hear them BOO'S!

Not sure about Triple H as guest referee either. He needs to call it down the middle rather than turn on someone.

You could literally hear Cena and HHH talk... Something's wrong with the camera or something... I don't think we were suppose to hear that.

Cena looks absolutely pissed off.

So what do we think about HHH as the ref for Cena-Punk Sunday, it does add a bit of spice, and with him being the man in change who made the match it makes sense, still him getting involved does seem like his ego getting in the way a little.
