WWE RAW 1/2/2012 - itbegins...with Punk vs. Ziggler

This was the first of 4 RAW's before the Royal Rumble which is the start of the Road to Wrestlemania and also a top 3 WWE ppv. Obviously this episode wasn't going to be anything spectacular because they are just laying the ground work for the build to the ppv.
 
Ok now im not usually one for hating for no reason, but seriously this line has to be drawn. WWE just ruined what could of been one of the best Raw's in recent memory. Vince should fire the entire creative team and hire some people who actually know how to make compelling and entertaining television.

Ratings are declining and they are going to continue to spiral downward with this kind of show.
 
FUCKING SHIT RAW. The Ziggler-Punk match was average. R-Troof and The Miz was a tad bland. ItBegins? Fuck sake, he hasn't even begun talking yet. My pasta? Gone. Blame Vickie Guerrero for making Dolph's hair look so damn delicious.

The only redeeming factor was Kane and how awesomely he's being booked.
 
I won't try to defend the segment anymore. That would just ruin it for you guys.

Jericho left a heel, he came back to cheers, he got the crowd to boo him and start turning him back into a heel without saying a word. I call that a brilliant segment. You are all saying that he shit the bed, and are pissed off at what he did. That is the point. You are SUPPOSED to be pissed off, and hate what he did. That is what becoming a heel is all about.

No need for me to try to get you to like what a bad guy did.
 
Reading these reactions are hilarious. WWE wants you to hate Jericho and Everything he does, and that is exactly what happened. Mission Accomplished.
 
Actually, thanks to R-Truth and to a far lesser extent Punk and Ziggler whilst I'm here. R-Truth was a beacon of light in an otherwise seemingly limitless cavern of dark despair.
 
Shits going to go down tomorrow when Vince hears the outrage of tonights show i can see the "Vince Mcmahon pissed off over RAW" headlines.
 
I'm refraining from being angry at Y2J's antics tonight because I'm giving WWE a chance to make this make sense, and not only make sense, but make it worth sitting through that show.

I don't even think it was a bad show, it just left me feeling...like....what?

Brain, I can think of a dozen different ways to get Jericho loads more heat than he got tonight.

And I don't even get paid to do it.

And 99% of the people here will watch next week too.
 
What a terrible waste of an hour.

I watched both and was thoroughly bored.

Sorry, just don't see the appeal with WWE programming, and I haven't for years. Twice now I've tried to give them an honest re-approach in the last few months and twice now they've assured me that absolutely nothing has changed.

Putting the titles on new faces but running the same format and pushing the same boring people does not equate change. It essentially equates the act of washing dirt off your face and saying you're a new person as a result.

Thanks, but no thanks.
 
I still haven't recovered from seeing IDR and shattered dreams complain about this. I think my Gall Bladder just exploded. It's like, how much sweeter can irony get?

I didn't hate Jericho not giving a promo, I hated him trying to get to the point where the crowd booed him failing hard at it. It was more of a boo i'm disappointed than boo Jericho you are a mean guy
 
LOL the iwc is hilarious. You were SUPPOSED to hate the jericho segment. How can you guys not see this???

I can't speak for other people, but not really. I don't feel any different about Jericho now, but I do feel dissapointed by the WWE.

Hey, if this turn out to be the plan then it was a masterstroke because I've not been so genuinely emotionally involved in something that's happened in wrestling for a while but if it wasn't, wow, they really have problems.
 
The only thing that pissed me off is that his return had nothing to to with the promos. After over a month of dark menacing creepy videos stating that today will be the beginning of the end, we get a man in a light up jacket screaming "YEEEAAAAHHH BABBBYYY!" Not very dark at all.

To be honest with you, the last three or four RAW's have been meh to sucky, with tonight's being extra sucky.
