-That debate segment did Show nor Sheamus any favors considering promos aren't either of their strengths. I didn't get why Show left w/o fighting Sheamus if anything he should be sonning him until HIAC so they can continue this Sheamus=New Cena thing. Whatevs.
-What is Jinder Mahal doing in the Band? If they play up the music thing (1,2,1,2,3) that could be cool to see. Whatevs.
-If I were WWE I'd slowly start to wean the silliness off of Santino. He's clearly gone as far as he can go with the gimmick and given the right opportunities the fans can get behind him (see EC this year) as an underdog instead of a comedy act. These days it isn't the heels that are the problem, it's the lack of solid faces after Orton.
-I think Ryder can stay face but he should change his gimmick, it's long lived past its shelf life and it might be hindering him at this point.
-AJ's gonna get booted from GM soon. Watch. It's a good thing, AJ as GM was a terrible idea from the start. Talk about overexposing someone. The crazy bytch/mini-Steph hybrid isn't working for me.
-Kofi should definitely be a quasi-main event player at this point. He needs to get re-acquainted w/ the audience through promo work. They should go w/ the Armageddon HIAC and have Kofi as one of the participants as a test run.
-Good look JBL
-Wasted commentary from Cody Rhodes, he only said like three things. Sandow vs Sheamus was good, MOTN, Sandow looked strong although he should add more elegant moves to his arsenal, kinda reminds me of Ziggler in that sense. Luckily his promo game is good. Vaguely similar to Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Sheamus got a scab on his nose, shyt was distracting.
-Besides Lesnar there aren't any strong heels in the WWE. The current top heel, Punk, is also chickenshyt when he doesn't need to be.
-Ziggler and Hell No! got new shirts
-
at that Ryback/Tensai match.....Ryback was gettin his Orton on at the end there. I think Tensai sandbagged as well as Ryback not liftin him right.
-Saw that Beth/Natalya match on SD
Good shyt. Shame Beth might be leaving especially w/ Sara Del Rey in the mix.
-I wanted JR to have a normal Appreciation Night segment so I actually was dreading Punk coming through. Then I remembered today's day
#316 and proceeded to
.
-Punk actually had a good promo mocking Stone Cold and being a bully while gold old JR wouldn't back down. I'm sure he's tired of beating Cena since he's won 4 outta 5 PPV matches against him since MITB 2011.
-The difference between Sheamus' cheap heat and Punk's was Sheamus only mentioned OKC for a pop while Punk tied in OKC losing their chances to beat the Heat and starting over this season to his disgust at Cena getting yet another shot at the title. Context, people. "This one's for Lebron!"
-With Cena out and MNF on it seems WWE said fukk it and gave us a "filler" episode. In terms of HIAC nothing really happened other than Hell No! turning face. They're anticipating sub-3.0 ratings this week. I am too. Weak show.
EDIT: Based on the Trish pics, here's an idea every Monday during Raw people post pics of one particular Diva. Trish one week, Lita the next, Layla after, etc.
