Better than the RAW after Mania last year.
This was fucking incredible.

So the WWE has a guy who was built up as a monster, yet loses all his big matches & now wants us to believe he is a credible threat to John Cena? The guy who just beat The Rock at WM for the belt? Ok then.
This night has been crazy. Just crazy.
I hope they have some big things in store for next week or the show is going to fall hard on its face after the awesome show they had tonight.

I don't thnk it's a heel turn as it is just giving Ryback more depth and letting him become a more complex character. It's really good for all parties involved.
He could do a SCSA character if played right...

Best RAW ever...
Okey, probably not, but awesome show.
Better than Mania and the crowd was insane.

Does this qualify as a heel turn? I mean, is Ryback just going in and murdering a guy really all that out of character for him?

Yes?

That's some grade 'A' protein!
Probably, considering when Heyman announced he was going to talk to the crowd, they went nuts.
I don't think any of his losses were really detrimental to his image accept for Chamber and the Raw after. Mania was a close loss. If anything it makes it plausible that Cena could beat him cleanly at all.

Someone stated earlier that this crowd doesn't compare to Miami because they didn't make a star like they did Daniel Bryan. But tonight, they might have made Fandango a star. We'll have to see how it turns out. So this crowd end up being as great as last year's post-Raw edition in Miami.

What about Ziggler??? That was huge.

There's no way in hell Ryback can ever pull off a SCSA character.
If you're trying to say that he could be a guy who just kills everyone regardless of face/heel, then ok. That's more like an Orton of a few years ago, though. Ryback is nowhere near good enough on the stick to be SCSA though.

What's really good?
I really don't see how that is in any way a heel turn especially when it's Cena who was attacked. That was just Ryback stating his case on being the next in line for the championship.
No i'm not putting him anywhere near that level but I don't think it's ridiculous to give him a roughneck anti-hero persona. It's been done a lot but if he's over enough he can do heel things as a face like cena did.

Ryback's been getting a little lukewarm, so a program with Cena will surely revitalize his career.

I have a feeling that the crowd will be more likely to go along with Fandango's theme music than to continue cheering for Dolph Ziggler. Dolph is over with the smarks mainly, so I get the feeling that the general crowds won't cheer him as heavily as the New Jersey crowd cheered him tonight, unless WWE goes the direction of turning Ziggler babyface (which I doubt).
I have the sense that the crowd singing Fandango's theme could be similar to when the crowd got involved with Kurt Angle's theme music back in the day. All fans love the opportunity to get involved, and Fandango's theme music could be that chance, much like Kurt Angle's theme allowed the crowd to get involved by chanting "You Suck." I could be wrong of course. Like I said, we'll have to see how it plays out. But as far as the show went, you're right in that Dolph looked like a major superstar tonight when he won the title.
