- As noted, the May 20th WWE RAW did a 2.97 cable rating for 4.32 million viewers.

In the segment breakdown, Chris Jericho and The Miz vs. Fandango and Wade Barrett lost 360,000 viewers. Sheamus vs. Titus O'Neil gained 206,000, which is a very good gain for a match like that. Paul Heyman introducing Curtis Axel gained 365,000 viewers. The rest of that segment with Triple H coming out gained 13,000 viewers at 9pm for a 3.10 quarter rating.

Big E Langston vs. Alberto Del Rio and Layla vs. AJ Lee lost 47,000 viewers but that could be considered a success. Cody Rhodes vs. Zack Ryder and Ryback's appearance lost 358,000 viewers. Kofi Kingston, Kane and Daniel Bryan vs. The Shield in their lengthy match gained 290,000 viewers for a 3.03 quarter rating.

Randy Orton vs. Jack Swagger gained 237,000 viewers. The main event with Triple H vs. Curtis Axel gained 551,000 viewers for a 3.44 quarter rating in the overrun.

9 PM gain and overrun gain, respectively.

I just watched this week's NXT, and WWE needs to stop screwing around and call Bray Wyatt up already. He had nothing more than a decent TV match with Corey Graves, but everything he did was crisp, effective, and went toward putting over his character. From the entrance, to the music, to the in-ring, and even the promo he had before his match, he has it all.

WWE'll fukk it up, of course.

Graves looks good as well. Good promo before the match, and he has a character that seems to be a cross between face CM Punk and a face version of Jeff Hardy's darker WWE/TNA Immortal character, which could get over huge. Not quite sold on his in-ring, though. Anything that I should watch to convince me?

Backstage Reason For The Changes to the John Cena vs. Ryback Match at Payback

What does Vince want from this?

- On Monday's Raw, WWE changed the Payback match between John Cena and Ryback from am ambulance match to a Three Stages of Hell match, which features: a Lumberjack Match, a Tables Match and an Ambulance Match. The reason that the change was made was because Vince McMahon wants to do something epic with John Cena, something that can be viewed as a memorable point in his career.

At this time the booking was not done to prolong the Ryback vs. Cena feud, but WWE creative doesn't have much lined up as far as long term plans go for Cena.

Beating The Ryback in a 3 Stages of Hell match is going to be a talking point for Cena's career? :shaq2:

Creative has nothing for the champ :russ: :wow:

Don't feel bad, Christian :heh:

Doesn't make any sense...Ryback hasn't really beaten anyone. He's just sneak attacking, whining about getting slapped up by The Shield, and is set to lose no matter what. He's been a huge 6 month loser. Got owned at the Rumble and the Shield kept murdering him..Punk beat him by hijinks and he TOOK another at WM to Henry...he's a joke right now.

Ryback has been booked horribly. Not even a big fan of him but dude caught on with fans and they've damaged the character so much. They put him in matches and feuds where he couldn't go over. That was dumb. Until WM was over, they should've kept him US/IC/upper mid-card level, where he could continuously go over, without shoving him into main events.

He went from a face monster who always got his ass kicked to a coward heel. :wtf:

Once he lost that match in October against Punk in Hell In a Cell, he was fukked. He had to keep winning to either generate huge support or huge heat...if you want to make him a MONSTER, he wins. You don't do the give and take bullshyt booking. It's stupid and cuts someone's balls off from them.

The easiest way to do it is if

you're on the Something Awful forums. A cesspool, yes, but they have an entire thread dedicated to NXT, Superstars, and Main Event. As long as I've been on there, the shows haven't been taken down, so it functions as a veritable archive of shows.

You can always go the workman's route and search through Google, though. You're bound to find a full link of the show you're looking for somewhere.

As for Taylor Wilde, she retired 2 years ago. She's in college in Toronto, last I checked.
