Tonight was one of the rare nights i respectef cole when he called out jerry lawler for telling old corny ass jokes during the battle royale. Seriously the dikkriding both lawler and cole do is unbearable.
That was the one match I officially missed tonight :whoo: I literally could not believe that ugly joke he tried (and botched) on Cody. shyt was grade 2 status.

This week's Raw was a step back from last week, not that last week was great or anything but this week was more bland than anything else.

Very enjoyable opening segment with Paul-E doing what he does best, talk and Brock playing the bumpkin bully role perfectly. Despite there not being a need for any interference from anyone in the back, I was surprised that 'creative' didn't have AJ skipping down the ramp.

The 6 man tag match had no appeal for me whatsoever. Truth be told, I was mainly flipping through my Vogue September issue/Uploading gifs. I did however catch Truth/Kofi hawking dolls that weren't of them. Where they do that at? So tired of the Lil' Jimmy ish but whatever, hes obviously moving merch so I expect the silliness to continue.

So anyways, ADR vs Orton w/ Sheamus doing commentary doesn't really interest me. I happen to find all 3 boring and in desperate need of a revamp.

Sandow vs Clay had potential but BC continued to wiggle and grin, turning what should have been serious into a joke. With the involvement of the kids, I hope he at least has some merchandise on deck.

Shawn's speech about Trips was over-the-top and too drawn out. I know how much they love each other

and that's fine but what should have been sad, had me close to tears from laughing.


Otunga vs Show, honestly I barely paid attention, we all know how its going to end. Meh.

D-Bry/Miz vs Kane/Z-Ryder was entertaining. Nothing more, nothing less. I also liked how they did acknowledge the back-story of those involved.

Ziggy vs Jericho, was okay. It's not like we all didn't know how about Jericho leaving. Him getting the better of Ziggy at the end um much like last night's results it didn't really make any sense but okie-doke. Jericho is gone and hopefully his next return (*sigh*) will go better than this one.

The Punk vs Cena face off was interesting. Even though some of what Punk said can be up for debate, I actually found myself slightly enjoying what he was saying. Things went downhill however once Cena started yapping about absolutely nothing. He as usual tries to throw in a dig and that's cute and all but for the most part his mic skills aren't really impressive. The pandering is disgusting and the fact that he shouts about respect, considering his recent situation is laughable. I do not need to see Punk vs Cena again, I didn't want to see it last night at SS but whatever.

Punk picking on King has its moments of hilarity but come on, unless you are going to go all out leave King's old ass alone. There really isn't a purpose behind him beating King, its not like John came rushing back down to save him. I get it though, much like the Trips delusion, 'creative' is thinking that King is as loved as JR. :smh:

The biggest problem i have with what they are doing with punk is that they are tring to use the fact that punk wants the WWE Title to be respected and back as the main event as the reason to be boo'd... Thats a goddamn hero and should be cheered for that. Meanwhile smug ass cena ass cena just disrespect the title Yet Again by acting like he is above it... And he is supposed to be the good guy?!

Exactly, it's ass backwards. Punk should be essentially shytting on his own fanbase for not being vocal enough about his lack main eventing. Could attack them for being tied up in tweeting about other nonsense and go on his respect soapbox.

But that would be too easy..

Real shyt..the whole good guy/bad guy logic has been getting reversed lately..U have Shaemus stealing and cheating...u have AJ putting nikkas in lopsided matches....the E's logic is just all over the place...

John will say anything to try and make himself look good. Just a few months back when him and Vince had a backstage confrontation, he was so ass hurt that he didn't want to acknowledge his loss to DJ at Wrestlemania so he brushed it off as if a win at WM means nothing. That's just the way his persona is..trust and believe once he gets the title back he'll give some lame ass speech about the title meaning EVERYTHING to him.

He'll also more than likely rescue Z-Ryder from another ass beating by Kane...

only to do one backstage cameo with him and then proceed to ignore his existence until he needs another propping up.

He's just having fun out there.
