What I thought about the show, first of all Punk vs Chris Jericho segment, was ok, but they need to come with some new words to say to each other, sounds like a broken record.The match vs Daniel Bryan was solid, but it done, actually the same finish and same moves to lead up to the finish, which was wrong.C'mon WWE, Long vs Johnny Ace in a Cage, make it happen holla holla.Kelly vs Nikki Bella was fucking horrible, why was Kelly even on the show, she hasn't been getting that much air time, where was Beth, shit where's Natayla? Kelly is a waste of time to use in the division.Geez use AJ and Maxine please,and Kailtlyn.Miz vs Cena, was average as best, damn Miz has fallen since last year, top of his game, now bottom of the barrel.At this point send him to SD or back to either mid-card to build him up again.Now Kofi/Truth vs Primo/Epico vs Ziggler/Swagger, was really good.I like to see a division getting respect on the shows.Hopefully WWE can put a fourth or fifth team together.Big Show/Sheamus vs Rhodes/Henry, waste of a match, oh yeah Sheamus is really getting shine to show people he deserves that RR win, horrible booking on Sheamus WWE! End fo the show time, Rock vs Cena, it seems to be me WWE is holding back Rocky for some reason.Cena is getting the brakes taking the shots, and the Rock is the calm one, doesn't sound like the real Rock to me.What I would do is have Rock go to Cena's hometown, and look at the house he lived in kinda like Edge did, without beating up Cena's Dad.Now, Rock getting people to chant for anything takes special talent, Kung Pow Bitch, lol.Cena coming down, was forced to me, but I want more, WWE is building this as passing of the torch, this has to be done right.When Cena wins, it has to be good story told there, right now I know they hate each other, but I want see a attitude era type of promos
How can you lot love the overlapping story lines? Can't you see how great this segment was pulled off on Monday? In a matter of 35 minutes and one match, (which neither guy was going to win or lose anyway) WWE was able to, in my opinion, successfully further three story lines in the process. This is one of the things that made the attitude era great. Many different story lines meshing each week to further the most amount of feuds for the time they have. I thought this segment was a win, and I feel like the WWE writers are on top of their game right now.

YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!
WWE Raw Supershow - February 27, 2012
Opening Segment - Very strong promo segment from Punk & Jericho. Even though this feud only just started, you have the usual IWC bitching and moaning about it. I wish the smarks would just shut the fuck up and enjoy it. I knew that they'd soon deliver the promo segment people were waiting fur and it happened last night. Not only that, but I think they've taken the feud in the direction it should go. Both Punk & Jericho are pretty cocky guys and this promo highlighted the pride both of them feel for who they are and the WWE Championship. The intensity they showed was great and I have a feeling that Punk vs. Jericho could be the best match on the WM card. Whenever Punk says something along the lines of putting on a match that will steal the show, it almost always happens. Great promo segment to move things along and there's still a month left for additional build. Thumbs Up
1. CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan - While this match wasn't anywhere near as good as their previous two matches were, I think that was partially the point. The WWE has provided two ppv main event worth matches featuring these two and this match was more focused on highlighting the GM feud, and potentially continues the build towards a more legit brand feud for the Bragging Rights ppv. At any rate, it was still an entertaining match featuring two guys that just flat out can go inside the ring. I admit that I thought it was a little annoying with more emphasis being put on the GM storyline, thereby taking away from the match. But, at the same time, I don't think any reasonable person can ultimately complain when we've gotten two fantastic tv matches out of these two in the past few weeks. The match delivered some very good back & forth, physical action and it ended in a no contest. Sheamus interfered and tossed Bryan back into the ring where Punk hit the GTS. As he goes for the cover, Big Johnny enters the ring and stops the ref from counting. The segment ends with Teddy Long pushing JL onto the mat, which drew a huge pop from the crowd. The match ended about the 10.5 minute mark and while it wasn't nearly as good as the other two, it wasn't intended to be and it still left fans wanting to see more between these two. ***
Jericho Attacks Punk - As Punk is standing up on the ramp posing a bit for the crowd, Jericho comes out and jumps him from behind. He slams Punk's head into the ramp a few times before delivering a body slam on the stage. Punk sold the shit out of the slam and its effects on his back and did the same when he was put into the Walls of Jericho. It was a perfect way to put more heat on Jericho and to cap off the interaction of these two for the show. Thumbs Up
2. Kelly Kelly vs. Brie Bella - As expected, this Diva match was pretty short but it was more interesting than most. The match had a cool finishing sequence with Kelly landing a dropkick on Nikki and knocking her off the apron. Brie rolled Kelly up but Kelly reversed it and did a nice looking bridge while scoring the win. Nothing great, but it honestly wasn't too bad. Too short to rate really, but it was ok for what it was. N/A
3. John Cena vs. The Miz - Prior to the match, Miz delivered a good promo talking about his glory days last year as WWE Champion and how hard he's worked for the company. Regardless of the heat he's garnered lately, Miz has worked his ass off for the WWE. The match itself was a decent 5 minute outing with the outcome never being in doubt. Cena showed a bit more energy in the ring than normal and he & Miz worked at a nice pace. Miz controlled much of the match before Cena got on his roll. Cena winds up hitting the AA and forces Miz to tap to the STF. **1/4
4. Primo & Epico vs. Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger for the WWE Tag Team Championship - Even though the match had something of a tacked on feeling, it still entertaining and all the teams looked good. Kofi Kingston looked impressive and his offense constantly drew pops from the live crowd. Ziggler continues to get solid heat with his "show off" aspect of his personality and the match delivered some good action. I'm also glad that they gave this match some actual time, roughly about 10 minutes, as I was expecting something much shorter. The closing minutes of the match were fun with the action breaking down, but not in a chaotic way really. The end comes when Swagger has the ankle lock on Epico, who did a nice job selling the move, when Kofi comes up and lands Trouble in Paradise on Swagger. Primo comes up from behind Swagger and nails him with the Backstabber with Epico covering Swagger & getting the win. A good match overall and another solid win for the current champs. ***
Kane - I didn't really care for Kane popping up here quite frankly. Kane came out and did a typical monster rampage by leaving everyone laying that got into his way. He roughed up Dolph & Primo after taking out Epico outside with a big boot. He landed a double chokeslam onto Dolph & Primo before Truth tries to fight him, but takes a chokeslam for his trouble. I thought it made the teams look weak and there didn't seem to be any real reason for this. Thumbs Down
Eve Torres - This was short in-ring promo segment but I thought Eve did a good job. Over the past several weeks, Eve has demonstrated that she's good at showing a wide range of emotions. In her promo, she came off as something of a callous golddigger in some ways as she used some stereotypical shallow reasons to justify her behavior. She's already getting crazy heat from the live crowd and the "Hoeskie" chant is something we're going to hear a lot of. I'm not sure really where they're going with this, I have a feeling they're going to take their time, but Eve did a solid job in my view. Thumbs Up
5. Big Show & Sheamus vs. Mark Henry & Cody Rhodes - This was a waste of time altogether. The match lasted about a minute and consisted of Big Show hitting Henry with a spear before Sheamus tags in after a bit and hits the Brogue Kick for the win. Henry has been too damn good for WWE to start going backwards with him. He worked his ass off and deserves better than this crap. N/A
Closing Segment - The Rock came out for his appearance to a massive pop. The fans were charged throughout the entire segment and Rock was his usual charismatic self out there and had the entire live crowd eating out of the palm of his hand. The Rock ripped on Cena for a while after Rock indulged the crowd with some posing & pandering for about 10 minutes or so before Cena's music hit. Cena came out to the ring and I was worried that he was going to try and be all cutesy. Cena came out, however, Cena showed some great intensity and I thought really got the better of The Rock again here on the mic. Some of what Rock was saying and the way he was pandering to the fans made me think of a politician. It reminded me of some of these charismatic politicians that sometimes stretched the truth a little or tweaks it a little bit in order to make it fit just right into what they're saying. When Cena called Rock "an egomaniacal see-through son of a bitch who wouldn't give a damn if the company closed its doors tomorrow", I found myself agreeing with Cena. I'm not ragging on Rock or anything, don't get me wrong, but I do think The Rock does come across as a bit phony at times. The Rock has his movie career, he's gotten all he can from WWE and WWE closing its doors probably wouldn't matter all that much to him in the grand scheme of things. The part where Cena mentioned The Rock having notes on his wrist, which he actually did, and left while telling Rock to carry on and continue trending was great. Afterward, The Rock seemed flustered and it seemed like Cena took a lot of the swagger out of Rock as he seemed rattled. Afterward, The Rock said that it was just like Cena to run his mouth & walk away before he could slap the lips off his face and it really made Rock look like a bitch in my view. It was great as I was thinking "well, why didn't you do it while he was out there". It seemed like The Rock was talking trash while Cena wasn't out there. Cena's promo was more to the point and The Rock was doing his usual posing & catchphrases with the fans eating it up. A helluva segment to close the show out and one that, in my view, had Cena coming out looking much stronger than Rock. Thumbs Up
Final Thoughts - Last night's Raw delivered and focused more attention on the build for Punk vs. Jericho & Cena vs. Rock rather than Taker vs. Triple H. The two main promo segments both truly delivered last night. Punk & Jericho's exchange was great and the follow up later with Punk getting jumped by Jericho from behind was the perfect way to end things between them last night. The Rock's promo, interrupted by Cena last night, also very much delivered. The Rock did his thing, as usual, and was massively over. Cena came out and delivered a more no nonsense promo and got right to the point whereas The Rock came off as someone pandering to the fans. Overall, the show had some very good wrestling action as well. Punk vs. Bryan was a good match, not nearly as good at the other two. Some fans can bitch & moan about it all they want, but the match definitely left them wanting more and they know it. That was part of the point. Cena vs. Miz was a solid 5 minute match, though the outcome was never in doubt, at the WWE Tag Team Championship 3 way dance was also entertaining. Epico & Primo won the match and racked up another solid win for themselves. The only things I didn't really like about the show was Kane coming out and slaughtering those teams following the match and the Show & Sheamus vs. Henry & Rhodes match. Henry shouldn't be treated like this, he's just done too damn good of a job. There's no need to go backwards with him. The GM feud continues to build and fans are definitely responding to it. I just hope it doesn't lead to a match between these two.

If Bryan and Punk go out and put on a 5-star mat classic with the help of commentary playing up the epicness of the matchup, where does that leave WWE in furthering their current storylines or the future? Maybe Punk and Bryan will get to the point where all eyes and thoughts need to be on them but to do that now would be a huge disservice to current storylines and their future. They have done a great job helping to carry shows with their matches. They are getting noticed by people who just turned on the TV to see what the Rock was going do. They are helping the GMs to get over further along with the commentators.
Everyone is doing their jobs very well.
If you are looking for a place to nitpick it should be how many times do we have to see two guys do double high-cross bodies before they figure each other out?

I have to agree wih this guy. Normally WWE would have had Punk & Sheamus vs DB and Jericho in a tag team match and then a crappy segment involving the GM's, maybe a match similar to the one on SD between Zeke and Otunga. Don't get me wrong, I know we will still get this most weeks, but it was nice of WWE to give us something a bit different and subtley carry on 4 seperate fueds (the fourth one being Punk vs BD, in case you didn't figure that out)

Interesting you bring up "disservice"
yet this commentary, is exactly that, to those men in the ring.
How do they successfully push 3 angles at once, when the performers in the ring are being ignored, and the fans at home can't even pay attention because of awful commentary?
You can further storylines, without all the nonsense
Fire Marshall Bill
Let me show ya somethin!!!
So, essentially, it sounds to me like you're complaining about the commentators not shutting up and calling the match (that I agree with) and you're saying it was overbooked.
It's funny I was thinking about that last night. And though they did put a lot into one segment, I think they actually pulled it off quite well minus the announcers. They effectively meshed 3 storylines (Punk/Jericho, Bryan/Sheamus, and the GM angle) without effecting anything of real importance. I say that because the Punk/Bryan match, while good with the potential to be great, is not a current storyline. As I said before, they're just there so both brands are represented as to further the GM storyline.
As a matter of fact, I remember thinking to myself while Jericho had Punk in the Liontamer that that was a very good opening segment. Any more and it probably would've been overbooked, but I think it was booked just well enough to further everyone's angles.
Nate DaMac
Fuck erbody but me
Because ultimately, the match didn't matter. Despite what everyone thinks, most people do not give a half a shit about a DB/Punk match. The point of the nearly half hour segment wasn't to have these guys go out there and put on show with all of their MOVES! MOVES! MOVES! These guys are both in separate angles heading into the biggest show of the year and frankly, the biggest matches of their lives.
3 angles were furthered. Jericho and Punk had a showdown, adding some much needed depth, the Long/Lauranitis shit continued, and Sheamus got involved. Jericho even came back and intensified the feud when he fucked Punk up on the entrance ramp.
Personally, I could do without the Long/Ace angle. I just don't care. But more casual fans will care about an angle like that over a "technical wrestling exhibition."

My thoughts on Raw last night, an overall entertaining show. Worth a B grade.
The Rock was mostly on until after Cena came out and very quickly put him in his place (as much as he could). After Cena left, the Rock seemed visibly thrown off a bit, and his promo resorted to repeating himself 20 times in a row in slightly different ways, which is a tactic the Rock has always used to avoid stumbling over his words when he doesn't know what to say.
Then it ended on the dumb "Cookin'" line, which is so played out at this point. There was some good, genuine heat between the two and I would've loved to see it actually end with Cena getting the best of the war of words and the show just ending with Rock standing there silenced. There's 4 or 5 more weeks until Wrestlemania and the Rock is appearing twice more I think? What are they doing to do now?
Other thoughts on the show:
- Eve looked damn hot last night, even with her chin. First time I've ever thought she looked better than Kelly Kelly.
- I have to say it - this Jericho sucks. He says the SAME thing every week. Almost the exact same words. If this is Jericho being back, I hope Punk slaps him out of the WWE again. His reason for coming back is just so shallow they have to take 20 minutes at the beginning of the show to have Punk explain it to the audience. It's all a bit ridiculous and I don't buy the heat between the two nearly as much as Cena/Rock.
- Next week, HBK is on Raw. Great, for what? To tell HHH that he's better than HHH or not better than HHH and the Undertaker is the Undertaker and look out for that guy because I did wrestling with that guy and look at me now...again. Sorry, yawn.
- What a shame what happened to Ziggler. He's going to be in some tag match or battle royale on the card and another year goes by where he's slipped down to mid-card. If the gave the guy some acting lessons and beefed up his mic skills a little bit six months ago, he easily could be drawing against Punk at Mania.
- Otunga is over for me. I now look forward to seeing what he's going to do or say after his first sip of coffee. Never thought I'd say that, but he's entertaining me.
- Daniel Bryan. Another guy who's finally growing on me. I know the Smackdown guys don't get to say a lot on Raw, but he's got me watching at least his segments on Smackdown now, and with Barrett out and Christian still out, I have to say he's got some of the best mic skills on Smackdown now. Of course, if they ever let Randy Orton open his mouth again maybe that will change, but Orton never had to best mic skills to begin with. I hope Bryan retains against Sheamus at Mania and continues to hold the belt, maybe Barrett comes back as a face and challenges him? I'd love to see that.

I've only seen a bit of this weeks Raw, (the Jericho, Punk bits). I thought it was brilliant. It's getting to be quite a vicious rivalry now, it built up to the match at Mania. The best bit was the proper Walls of Jericho. It's such a brutal submission, and it seems in escapable. I hope Jericho uses it now, instead of the Boston Crab.
I Heart Cena
Pre-Show Stalwart
Exactly, which shows that this is all 100% a work. Vince, Rock and Cena have all discussed this together and planned what is gonna go down. It's all by design. Unfortunately, this is a "torch-passing" feud. Ugh, I've lost interest.Rock's promo last monday night could be a "work" or a "shoot" but if Cena is saying that he got a "legitimate" beef with Rocky why don't they settle it via "MMA" or "Shoot" fight. It doesn't making any sense to say things out and giving a shoot promo and telling that you have a legit hate on that person and yet you want to settle it out via Wrestlemania in a scripted match.
I will bet that next week, Cena will cut a promo where he himself will start twitter trends. He will rub in the wrist notes, and Rock's "phoniness" and how he couldn't be on 2 consecutive Raws. It's gonna be ugly.
Then the next few weeks will be all about "exposing" the Rock as just an actor, while Cena will be shown to be this loyal hard worker. *puke*
cena will win at WM, then Rock will shake his hand. The next night, Rock will apologize for the insults and Cena will say that he realizes that Rock does indeed care about WWE. *puke again* They are already scheduled to tag together on the post-Mania Raw.

Rocks promo was SHIT. He didnt hype the match at all, hardly even talked about the match! All he seems to do is make up stupid insults and 'Twitter trends' which is soo annoying! It didnt get good until Cena came out, I usually hate Cena but lately hes been great. Hes completely carried this feud and has been great on the mic lately.
Punk/Jericho was a real promo. they hyped the match, talked about why they wanted to beat eachother and got the point across! They have completely sold this match just on that promo and i am looking forward to the Best in the World V Best in the World.

WHAT??!!
Enjoyed the show, storylines all shaping up nicley, bit disapointed that the Rock didnt throw out a few more classic one liners and mayby slap the grin off Cena's face, but then im old school 
Im looking forward to seeing HBK next week, could be more involved in Taker v Triple H than we realise atm, we shall see

"Yessir, we promised you a great event..."
I really think they delivered this week on Friday night. I was disappointed by Sheamus/Miz last week because I knew both of them were capable of a helluva lot more. Tonight agreed with at least 50% of that. Sheamus vs Dolph Zippadeedooda knocked it out of the park! The barbaric Irishman was back full steam and the match itself made me not even care there was no actual confrontation between Bryan & the Great White this close to Mania.
Some assholes talking shot behind Nattie's back... still... and although the low brow humor was lost on me this week, I can't help but wonder what the future holds for Eve?
I was amazed to see Show & Henry moving around like that. These two guys are hefty hefty hefty and they're no spring chickens, either one of them. They put it all out there in the ring and this viewer was grateful. 5 stars because I've never seen two behemoths move like that.
At long last leave for Drew McIntyre. Poor lad was sent packing back to the loch. Is this some sort of twisted plot to have McIntyre play the sympathy card? If I've noticed one thing, people dig an underdog story a la Santino or Ryder? Is McMahon slapping around the Scottsman because he knows fans wont stand for much more? I don't know, but it makes it interesting.
Orton & Kane had a pretty good back & forth. Some people like to rundown Orton. They can go right ahead, because regardless I'm going to enjoy his matches. I like the prospect of a Kane/Orton Freud. Both are sickos, neither one is going to back down, and Kane is in tremendous shape.
Aksana vs Kane next week? Hmmm... we'll see what that's about. Stay true, wrestling fans.

You've lost interest because it's not a shoot? You're kind of short sided huh? Just because Rock and Vince know that Cena is going to run Rock down doesn't mean there aren't genuine feeling there. This has been an amazing feud. It's not about making one a face and the other a heel, it's basically "here it is". It's awesome. If you don't like this feud, you probably don't actually like pro wrestling.
Raw was awesome. People bitching about Bryan/Punk's commentary not being as into the move calling and playing it up are stupid and don't understand storytelling. The point of the match was to further the feud. The match wasn't very long or even that amazing (it was very good as all 3 have been) but the point is to further a story. Some time down the road they will have an epic PPV match where the commentators will do the EPICSS!!!! shit.
Cena and Rock was a pretty awesome segment. For about a minute I felt something genuine from Rock, then it was back to name calling that really doesn't make any sense (what is a kung pow bitch and how exactly does it pertain to Cena?). Cena comes out, basically kills him, then Rock goes on with his schtick and, in the best acting Rock has EVER done, looks like he doubts himself, then pulls it together for "IF YA SMELLLLLL".

This whole post is a classic example of everything wrong with the IWC these days. Here you have a match that really, most fans don't care about, that really doesn't draw, and definately shouldn't be headlining wrestlemania this year. The two top champions of each brand does NOT sell itself, because people don't go "oooo, he's a champ, he's good" it's "meh, he's sort of interesting I guess". Sadly, the IWC thinks it's being wasted despite we've been shown 3 great matches and they'll likely have a feud at some point.The whole CM Punk versus Daniel Bryan angle is a classic example of everything wrong with WWE these days. Here you have a match that by all means should be headlining a pay per view. The two top champions of each brand sells itself. Sadly it's being wasted just to promote yet another crappy overplayed corporate powerstruggle storyline between two non wrestlers.
Seriously, you guys don't know anything about business. Punk vs Bryan isn't being devalued, if anything, it'll mean more eventually since neither has officially won. Second, Bryan isn't all over enough to be put in a match with a guy like Punk who draws a similar fanbase. You have to diversify.
If wrestling sold on MOVEZ and FIVEZ STARZ!!!! then ROH wouldn't be struggling so bad and Davey Richards would draw more than 1,000 fat Meltzer reading, Puro praising virgins.
I must say, this was a very enjoyable SmackDown indeed.
Sheamus cut a good, much needed promo at the beginning. The World Title match needs to start building up and this promo kicked it off in a good way. And the opening match was good. Is it me, or does Dolph get better and better after each match he's in? Anyway, Sheamus looks strong heading into Mania.
Eve had her first match as a heel and it looks like she did get a bit better in ring wise. Idk, if it was because she wrestled Natalya, but Eve looked better than she has been. I'm telling you, they need to capitalize on this and make Beth Phoenix vs Eve happen.
What about Cody Rhodes? This kid has come a long way since Legacy. He sounds great on the mic and he sure looks good with that belt. Idk about everyone else, but I'm actually intrigued in this match with the Big Show. This storyline is made to make Show look like a fool and Cody is getting some heat. If they REALLY want to make this good, there shouldn't be any type of contact between Rhodes and Show until Mania. Really make it so the fans want to see Show tear Cody apart at Mania.
The GM angle is really heating up. Having Long and Laurinatis switch shows really adds the build so when they finally make this team vs team match, it'll have more than enough of a backstory behind it.
And now.....onto the Main Event. I liked it alot, although it was short. Bryan once again gets the cheap win to add to his heat, but more importantly, Kane is back and wants Randy Orton's head. I'm very interested in hearing Kane's explanation for going after Orton. I'm trying to rack my brain thinking about it.
Overall, this was a good SmackDown. They continued the stories heading into Mania and started a new, interesting one. SmackDown is looking better and better.

Mustang Sally
Sells seashells by the seashore
At least his "firing" should bring this whole thing to a head.....finally. Either he really is done with WWE
wtf or whatever they have in mind for him finally comes to fruition. I thought the big break had come when he finished in the final four of that battle royal; he looked great......only to be fed to Khali in 15 seconds the next week.Okay, your suggestion of casting Drew as an underdog might be what they have in mind; if anyone looks like an underdog these past months, it's him. I don't know about the "sympathetic figure," though......first of all, it's difficult to cast a career-long villain as sympathetic.....and second, Drew just doesn't present that way (even as gorgeous as he is
).I admit to being prejudiced in his favor, but still say that there have been more topics launched on this forum about Drew McIntyre than any other non-star. People are still interested in him and seem to want to know how in the world the company is going to turn a year of prime-time inactivity, followed by a pathetic losing streak, into a push. More specifically, how they're going to convert a "firing due to inadequate performance" into an angle in which he's flirting with men in the audience.
Personally, I think if he's gonna make eyes at anyone, it should be at the person authoring this post.
i dont think drew is fired for real. its a storyline where he will come back on RAW with his new "playboy" gimmick.. which sucks! He should just come back as himself, give him a nice US Title push and give him the title cuz swagger sucks and the title is hardly defended.. kinda like the IC title
And we're on the road to Wrestlemania! Randy Orton returns tonight for the seventeenth time this month to face Daniel Bryan in what should be a blinder. Anyway, let's get to it.
Smackdown kicks off tonight with Sheamus coming out to a monster face reaction. He cuts a long overdue promo about why he choose Daniel Bryan at WM. We're about 4 weeks away from Wrestlemania and there's currently zero build for the match between Bryan and Sheamus, you know one of the freakin' main events. It's just unacceptable. The match will be awesome, but if there's no build, why should I care? Seriously, Sheamus running out and throwing Bryan into the ring is getting old and it's getting old quick. Where's the mic confrontations? Where's Bryan even acknowledging Sheamus? I'm extremely disappointed.
Out comes Ziggler and surprise, surprise, T-Long makes a match between them for after the commercial break. We've never seen him do that before, huh? The match itself was kind of like a preview for the WHC main event at 'Mania, seeing as Dolph and Bryan work a similar quick, athletic style. ''I believe Dolph Ziggler's WHC reign was before he associated himself with Vickie'' ''Yeah, well''. All haphazard commentary aside, the contest was rather good. It was simple and to the point, maybe saving the match for a feud later down the road. These two work well together, and it just solidifies the fact that I believe Bryan and Sheamus will steal the show. I swear to God, though, if Bryan loses his title to Sheamus' new finisher, grease gon' hit dah pan.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love a good brand rivalry. And, Long and Laurinaitis are making this one fantastic. I find myself rooting for Long just beecause I hate Laurinaitis so much. That's how good both of them are portraying their roles. It'll be fun to watch Teddy on RAW and Laurinaitis on Smackdown next week. Hopefully, something big happens and the Wrestlemania match gets set in stone. Because, truth be told, I'm looking forward to the rumoured elimination tag match quite a bit.
Slater vs. Santino was all about keeping Santino's pops relevant which I'm fine with. I'm forecasting an Intercontinental Championship push after Wrestlemania for the Milan Miracle.
Apparently, people throw about fish in Seattle. K.
God, evil Eve is sexy. Much sexier than ''I collect butterflies'' Eve. Now, Natalya losing to Eve may sound like a catastrophy but, it really isn't. They're going somewhere with Eve and I'm fine with that. Feed the hoe to Kharma, it'll be fantastic. Creative knows Kharma has no opponents, so building one up for her is clever. Maybe the Divas division will become relevant again. Nah, I wouldn't go that far.
Cody's Big Show Wrestlemania moments are fantastic. They remind of the Rhodes of old. The ''Dashing'' one. The ''relevant'' one. Cody has fallen off the bandwagon as of late and I'm not sure whether a match with Big Show at 'Mania is going to help that, especially as Show's pretty much guaranteed a win after them tooting up Big Show's losing record. I also don't like the fact that the IC title is again, a prop. Sure, I'm happy it's being defended but it's more about the hate between Show and Rhodes than the title. It's just there. Make the title mean something, damn it.
Mark Henry vs. The Big Show #67371 was good for the amount of time it was given and Cody on commentary was great. The finish looked a bit awkward but, it may have to do with Henry's injury which is a damn shame. Let the dude heel up, Vince. With a spot on the biggest show looking unlikely, I wonder what' next for Sexual Chocolate. His title reign was brilliant and showed us all that he's so much better than just a plain jobber.
Randy gives us backstage interview #85983 since moving to Smackdown and out comes Gabriel and McIntyre to have another win or fired match for Drew. Drew, unsurprisingly, loses and I can hear Mustang Sally weeping from here. Teddy Long fires him and eventually we get some sort of a pay-off to the angle. Though, I certainly expect Drew to be re-hired next week by Laurinaitis on Smackdown to fight on his team at Wrestlemania. Drew deserves a nice mid-card push, and a spot on the Wrestlemania card is hardly going to hurt him now, is it?
Daniel Bryan cuts a fantasticly superior backstage interview to Orton's and it's main event time! It was just an all-out brawl with Orton totally dominating the opening exchanges. Big time. AJ could do with some meat on her, which is ironic seeing as her boyfriend's a vegan. We're back from commercial and Randy Orton is dominating again. This, like the opening match was sort of a sneak peek at the WM main event. Orton works the power game like Sheamus although a bit more athletically. Still though, I can't wait for the inevitable Orton vs. Bryan feud as they do have some sort of chemistry in the ring which just works.
Kane attacking Orton was a great move on my part. Neither have anything to do at 'Mania but both deserve spots on the card. If anyone can get a quality match out of Kane it's Randy Orton, so I'm looking forward to the feud progressing.
This week's Smackdown was very good. It wasn't perfect as I could have done with a bit more build for Wrestlemania but, as always the quality of the matches on Smackdown was above average. Even the divas match was passable. Roll on next week!

It's obvious that the Rock is holding back. The Rock is completely out of character now, Vince doesn't want Rocky verbally annihilating Cena. That's what I feel anyway.
Both guys need to look good but if they let Rocky loose on the mic Cena's career would be over, simple as that.

Raw was very solid tonight. The HBK/HHH segment was great but I'm not excited about HBK as the ref. HBK is great but in this case I think it's subtraction by addition.
I'm not interested in the GM/GM fight but Santino getting the win was exciting and for me unexpected. I think a feud and wrestlemania match between the could do a lot of good for both guys, I just hope it's not mired down in the GM/GM deal.
The Rock's taped segments were awesome. I've not been satisfied with his work up until tonight but the history lessons were what I expected from the rock. I didn't care for Cena's empty arena stuff. The in ring segment between the two was alright. Last week Cena made his statements and walked out of the ring dismissively. Tonight The rock made his statements and walked out of the ring dismissively. I enjoyed cena more after the rock left but I'd like him to be more aggressive I'm gonna beat the rock and less underdog I have to beat the rock.
Even though I'm not a fan of HBK's involvement in the HIAC I look forward to his segment with The Undertaker next week. Definitely not looking forward to the rock/rap thing with the rock and cena. In my eyes there are too many ways for it to go wrong and not enough ways it can go right.

I have been waiting for the Rock to bury Cena by mentioning how Cena wanted to follow the Rocks path and make it to hollywood but that his movies are so bad that they go straight to video. Rock has had a few opportunities to just bury Cena and is obviousely been told not to.
Cause lets face it.....HHH, Cena, Austin, etc....they all tried to go the rocks path and make movies...but none of them were taking seriousely and hollywood spit them out.
They are all Rock wannabees. Rock could of exposed this to the audience in the middle of the ring but obviousely has been told not to

I thought Raw was very good tonight, but Cena/Rock is just so ridiculous now. How many different ways are they going to say the same thing? And it's just crazy at this point that there's that much "hate" between them, and they've stood face to face in the ring twice in two weeks without coming to blows. Give me a break already.
