htcz Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Damn it. They got Khali as their powerhouse. The guy is boring as hell. Ryder was basically a give in. Im seeing the last two slots as for each GM and/or Vickie/Akana. In addition, if Team Johnny wins, Christian will earn an opportunity to wrestle for the World Heavyweight Championship What a ****ing spoiler....... John's team wins, Christian reheats his feud with Shameus (new WHC), Christian wins at the next PPV....... Too much spoiler in that announcement.

LOC Veteran Posted March 25, 2012 Veteran Share Posted March 25, 2012 Yeah, they've done quite a bit with Bryan's character now at this point. If Vince didn't have faith he wasn't going to get over as a heel (which he sure as hell is now) Vince wouldn't have let it go this far. Not to mention, Bryan has been champ now for 3-5 months or something? I figured he'd win at WM and be champ for 3 weeks! Christian can (and probably will) have a feud with Sheamus after WM. But in the end I think they are going to go in a Christian/Bryan/Orton/Sheamus route towards Summerslam and beyond. Those four guys are probably going to be interchangeable as Smackdown's top face/heel until SS I imagine. Plus, now there are rumors that Vince wants one of RAW's biggest names to move to SD in the next draft (which is pointless now since the brand extension is all but over) and that John Cena or Chris Jericho are the two names being thrown around as moving maybe. Maybe. I'm still waiting for Dolph Ziggler to get his shot at the big time here. I think he got boned over a WM moment this year. Plus, he has to move away from Vickie already. I mean, yeah she is a heat magnet (and plays the heel perfectly, I'd say about as good as Eddie did it) and gets him more exposure but come on. How many tag matches does he have to have, let alone being put together with Swagger (who is in the Miz situation now, floating around into obscurity if he isn't give something to do soon!) and jobbing to tag teams who aren't even tag teams! What happened to the tag team division being revamped/rebooted WWE? Oh right, Evan Bourne got high doing something other than shooting star presses and what not. Right. Sorry if this is long and rants, and/or doesn't make much sense. It's pretty late here and I've been up for 3 days straight and feel like poop. Also, Daniel Bryan is a god. YES YES YES.

Scorbing Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Why RAW Ratings Continue to Suffer by StraightEDGeSavior Source: http://www.ewrestlin...tinue-to-Suffer For being one the most anticipated Wrestlemanias, Raw has done a terrible job building this year's mania and the RAW ratings are suffering. I believe that the ratings are blowing because of the quality of the show. I mean it is top notch as far as a professional production quality, but just the way they format the show really irritates me and probably bores the occasional viewer. The way they've been formatting raw doesn't work for several reasons: 1. Commentary Cole and Jerry's commentary is total ****ing garbage and they don't do a good enough job transitioning the show...they'll preview the next segment and it usually consists of a radical opinion of Cole, and/or an awkward one liner by lawler. Their commentary is FAR from epic when great moments happen because Cole is either ****ting his pants, or ripping on the segment/wrestler and jerry either rips on cole or says another awkward, unintelligent, childish one liner. What happened to the excitement and realness on commentary when good ol' JR was screaming "MY GOD ITS STONE COLD! STONE COLD! HES STUNNING ANYTHING THAT BY GOD MOVES"...now we get cole's nazally yelp "OH MY HES HERE.....THE ROCK..AND THE ROCKS ARRIVED.." followed by an awkward silence and Jerry's classic "Oh boy here we go" Everyone hates Cole, but I think Jerry is the one of the two that needs to hang it up...overall commentary is underwhelming, and down right annoying 2. Matches I think the match quality (especially on a typical RAW) has completely gone to hell and every match despite the wrestler pretty much goes the same. Face starts off hot, heel catches ONE nice move (usually the same nice move they do every week) and then we get 10 minutes of the heel beating on the face, doing the same 5 moves they do every week (the miz's neckbreaker combos are a great example). After the usual brutally botched 45 second headlock, the face comes back with momentum, gives them their moveset and FINALLY we get a different result from this point forward in the match...I mean I am aware that that is how wrestling has always been to an extent, but the in ring product has gotten so generic and there arent ANY classics on Raw anymore. This is partly why people get bored of watching...and if you're going to make a match go through a commercial break at least have ONE good spot in the match where a commerical is appropriate. 5-10 years ago commericals would cue after an incredible acrobatic/skilled move that changes the pace of the match...now at best we get a cm punk/truth/kofi suicide dive that looks the same every single week...but if you have the big show and d bry fighting and you go to commerical after d bry gets headbutted out of the ring? who the **** is gonna not turn the channel when there is no urgency to get back to the match? I mean I wouldn't, and I'm sure none of the people reading this would...but your occasional viewer is not going to patiently wait to see the aftermatch of a match that has happened 15 times in the last month (big show/dbry, christian/orton, any mixed tag match) that is going to basically have the same spots every match (although i never got sick of orton/christian). 3. VIDEO PACKAGES Now this **** ****es me off. Don't get me wrong, I love video packages and think WWE does them very well and in many ways it is one of their forte's in the business. However, you don't need to jam the same 3 segments down our throat that we've seen 10 times. I felt so bad for anyone who wasted money ordering the royal rumble when they played 2 six minute long video packages of Rock/Cena that they CONTINUED to show us again and again for the next 3 raws. Now I'm the biggest wrestling fan I know and even I found myself turning the repetitive video packages. Why aren't people keeping their TV's on Raw during wrestlemania time? because we are getting the same ****ing bull**** video packages over and over again about storylines that aren't advancing (HHH vs Taker for example). I hope someone sees this because you probably share the same views as I do, but if wwe continues to give its fan's generic "entertainment" with bad commentary, ****ty, boring, and predictable matches, and the same video packages that don't explain anything new, then I see ratings to continually decline...

Rappy Veteran Posted March 25, 2012 Veteran Share Posted March 25, 2012 AP writer Dan Gelston recently asked The Rock about a possible WrestleMania 29 match with Brock Lesnar. His response?"I'm not saying a thing," said a laughing, grinning Rock, eyebrow raised. "I didn't say anything." Rock also said: "They know that I'm back, not for money, not because I like being on the road, but because I love the business. The energy level is different this time around, the connection is more emotional this time around." We reported over the weekend that WWE officials are looking to announce the main event for WrestleMania 29 this year ? possibly on the RAW Supershow the night after WrestleMania 28. The belief is that the RAW after WrestleMania 28 will be the highest-rated of the year. Right now officials are looking at John Cena, The Rock, Steve Austin, The Undertaker and possibly Brock Lesnar as the top guys to build next year around. Regarding Austin, he has not committed to wrestling another match yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episode Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 ^ Nope. Vince is not going to book a match between two part timers (and part timer is a stretch) as a WM Main Event. John's team wins, Christian reheats his feud with Shameus (new WHC), Christian wins at the next PPV....... How is it a spoiler? They stated as much last week on Smackdown when Christian joined the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Veteran Posted March 27, 2012 Veteran Share Posted March 27, 2012 So the big rumor going around now is that Vince as we all know now wants to announce WM 29's main event real soon. Apparently it's going to be a match between HHH and HBK next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyJordan Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 There was also not really a reason for Christian to be on Laurinitis' team ... he's been out injured since basically before Laurinitis took over Raw. Spoiler alert! Good news then; he's not on Team Johnny anymore. He was "re-injured" by CM Punk on this week's RAW, and he's been replaced by Drew McIntyre. And before that, The Miz was announced as the final member of Team Johnny after he saved "Mr. Excitement" from a Cobra. And the final member of Team Teddy is, surprisingly, Booker T. So here is the final lineup for both teams...
