7/9/12 WWE RAW: Starring AJ

[Busby]

LMAO!!

Soap opera has always been a constant in WWE so I didn't mind the love fiasco. I liked the Bryan/Punk/AJ angle because it was relatively straightforward: AJ is crazy, lustful, and a wild card for the MITB PPV. What this Raw did wrong was make the focus completely on AJ over the match itself. The marriage aspect was classic WWE overthinking an angle instead of letting it rock normally. DB, a well-developed heel, now simping for AJ is a 90 degree change from his character thus far. AJ hasn't been able to carry a promo on her own and it showed tonight with the crowd damn near turning on her.

Eve/Punk segment was also poor because Eve, a mere diva, openly buried the WWE champ (She didn't say anything most people didn't know already). the 2nd biggest face in the company is now shown to be well behind other stars not just to the IWC but to EVERYONE, marks included. If this had to be a "look in the mirror, Punk" segment she coudl've just said how soft he's become since winning the title and how his fling with AJ holds him back. This segment, IMO, showed why "shoots", while entertaining, can often be harmful and counterproductive (see HHH/Kofi) in maintaining or promoting a wrestler's credibility. This, with the Rock's interest in the WWE title, kinda telegraphs a Punk win at MITB.

Weak move by Creative to add unnecessary ideas to a once intriguing storyline, on the go home show no less. It's akin to fumbling a TD at the 1-yard line. I guess it's on to Thursday, Brother

RAW in roughly 5 mins is going to be the wave of the near future

 

[The War Report]

Y'all be killing the servers. I can only imagine what's gonna happen once Raw is 3 hours long.

 

[Clem]

at the Sonnen/Silva spot

I wasn't sure if I actually saw that or not. They're gonna get in trouble with Vince.

What's funny is that the real one (Silva's) was smoother than the worked one.

Someone will tell him. Though to be fair most people may not have noticed it.

Crowd turning on her? Nowhere near....they cheered more for her than either Punk or Bryan.

 

[The G.O.D II]

This whole episode felt like a huge to adult/IWC

This true blood storyline that makes Punk look like a fukking p*ssy.
Complete burial of the midcard again(no intros, swagger/Christian jobbing like crazy)
The anonymous GM and the payoff of hornswoggle
Cole/lawler goofiness again.
More meaningless clay squashes
Eve(despite being punished herself) completely burying Punk.
Ripping off UFC finishes despite "not being in competition with them"


I can't wait once AJ/Punk/Bryan get blamed for the low buyrate this show is going to do. Punk will job to cena at SS since he's basically been coronated the winner of MITB. Byran will be jobbing to Orton to get his face heat back. And AJ will get squashed by someone like Kharma until she quits like every other sensible diva and becomes a barely legal fetish escort.

Never has a post embodied the state of the E like this one

 

[PopOnCloud9]

Didn't watch last night, went to see Spiderman and apparently I made the right move. I give up on the E they can't get a two hour show right, three hours is gonna be torture. Two of the best wrestlers in the company are in a bullshyt storyline........ The midcarders aren't build up at all only having a 1:30 second matches and yet when new indy guys come in we have faith like they will save the company. Things will never change smh.

 

[R=G]

HOLD on..what happened with Hornswoggle? WTF is going on? He's the WHAT?

If there was EVER a time we needed a Daylito rant, it's NOW
