Awesome

I hope Brock comes back tonight as well. Brock vs. Rock at WM 29?

lol at the hatred for Brodus Clay, I'm so happy the FUNKASAURUS got a Wrestlemania moment :24:

I don't hate him... I just hated the segment and am not really a fan of his gimmick. It annoys the fuck out of me that we got an 18 second squash of a WHC match that could've been pretty damn good. We got 10 minutes or so of a women's match that featured a TV star, but we got the second most important title changing hands in a squash. That's what annoyed me about it. Hell, we got like 15 minutes of a concert instead of wrestling.

brooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooocccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!! F5 to cena lol

 

[dkwrtw]

Brock is a shell of his former self, he looked smaller than Cena. Still epic seeing him lay waste to Cena though. Loved the Jericho segment too, and love seeing the funkasaurus make his presence felt! Great episode of RAW.

 

[Springsteen]

Really great follow up to Wrestlemania. The Jericho/Punk rivalry just kept going, it was a good move to say Tensai was a former WWE superstar who had been to Japan (which is 100% true) rather than try and insult our intelligence (lol at the A train chants). Cena and Rock were both great. Oh and BROCK~

Best Raw for weeks.

Just started watching RAW... I love the "Yes" chant now being used for the Rock. I'm glad that this isn't the last we're gonna see of Rock in WWE... it'll be interesting to see if he gets another title run, because he'd have to work a schedule where he appeared in person at least 2 weeks a month. I did do some quick checking, and he only has one movie scheduled for 2013, and nothing after G.I. Joe this year. So we could possibly see him coming back more regularly.


It's weird seeing Santino getting a legitimate push... retaining in the Triple Threat had just as much to do about disention between Swagger and Ziggler as it did with Santino retaining.


HAHA! The Funkasaurus + Santino. I love it. I also love the Funkasaurus chant and then the Cobra + Funkasaurus dance. See, I don't mind the dancing, I just didn't want to see it on Wrestlemania.


Poor Alex Riley, he went from being in a midtier feud with The Miz around this time last year to being squashed by A-Trai... err, Lord Tensai.


Punk and Henry was a surprisingly entertaining match. Hey Michael Cole... STOP FUCKING SAYING VINTAGE! Countouts are such bullshit finishes to be honest... I've never liked them. I guess I can understand it in this case, but still.


I wonder if Vince is paying attention to the "Yes" chants tonights... maybe, just maybe the crowd likes Daniel Bryan.


Jericho's stuff is just completely fucking awesome. I hope this kind of stuff is a return to more of the attitude era storylines... I'm tired of PG WWE.


You can tell that this is a "smart" crowd in attendance tonight... a lot of people that were there from last night.


More Daniel Bryan chants... I love it. The "si" chant was pure brilliance on the part of the fans. So are we just going to hotshot del Rio into the #1 contendor spot and pretend that Daniel Bryan didn't just lose the title? Loving this crowd... the eruption when they showed Bryan on the screen after Sheamus kicked del Rio's head off. Damn, the crowd loves him.


Kofi and Cody went exactly the way I thought it was going to with Big Show doing the embarrassing moment thing.


I'm hoping that we get to see a Zack Ryder/Miz feud... I think they could have some good matches if tonight was any indication. That match was overshadowed for me by Jerry Lawler saying that being told John Cena was there gave him goosebumps. Dumb.


Now we've got Cena in the ring... I can only hope that he's gonna get an F5 by the end of the night. I haven't paid attention to the Brock rumor at all tonight, and I'm typing this in notepad in case one of you posted something in this thread. :24:


But anyway... now we're back to normal Cena. The fire and intensity isn't there anymore... it's just the typical good guy Cena character that they've shoved down our throats for the last 8 years. See, Cena should be getting pissed and getting all fired up over the "you're a loser" chant. HAHA... more "yes" chants, awesome. But of course, Cena has to rise above the fucking hate.


If Cena doesn't get an F5, I'm gonna be sad. I just want him to shut his goddamn mouth.


HAHA! "We want Lesnar"... oh that's fucking awesome. This is definitely a smart crowd in Miami tonight. I hate this John Cena character... he's annoying as fuck. I'm about to start chanting Lesnar at my TV here. Nice Daniel Bryan reference by Cena though... and another Daniel Bryan chant. Hey Vince, are you listening?


Haha... Brock is back. Hey may not be the same Brock Lesnar that he was before leaving the WWE... but I love the guy, from pro wrestler to MMA fighter. It sounds like the roof about came off of the place. I'm trying to remember if there was any history between Brock and Cena before Brock left the WWE... aaaaaaaaand the F5 I've been waiting for. Hell yeah.


Now *that* was an awesome RAW.

According to multiple sources, WWE has signed a one year deal with Brock Lesnar that will see the former UFC and WWE champion work for the company through Wrestlemania 29 in New Jersey.


Sources speaking to PWInsider.com state that Lesnar has signed for a minimum two appearances a month over the next year, plus an additional number of appearances during the build to the Mania PPV and obviously, Mania 29 itself.


The belief is that Lesnar will make in the area of 30-35 appearances over the next year, although WWE would have the ability to negotiate additional appearances with him above and beyond that - if Lesnar is willing to make them.


For those of you who are wondering how The Rock plays into this, well, he certainly needs someone to challenge for the WWE title one day....


In a strange coincidence, ten years ago, Lesnar made his WWE main roster debut on Raw with Paul Heyman....the day after Wrestlemania

The Daniel Bryan chants continued well after RAW ended, both inside the arena and out of the arena. If Vince isn't listening to this, then he's even more clueless than I gave him credit for.

 

[retro]

I also just read that Brock got to the arena about 30 seconds before his music hit... now that's how you keep a secret given the circumstances.

 

[Maulds]

I'm trying to remember if there was any history between Brock and Cena before Brock left the WWE

That was around the time I quit watching. I remember Brock slamming Cena into a ringpost and breaking (supposedly) his leg.

 

[retro]

Bahahaha

George Rodenbaugh sent word that Daniel Bryan's "Yes! Yes! Yes!" chant just broke out out at the Miami Heat game.

 

[Springsteen]

I remember Brock and Cena having a WWE Title match at Backlash 2003, which I believe was a follow on from the ringpost incident.

 

[MainerMikeBrown]

How many wrestling fans out there thought WWE wrestling was real when they were little kids? Did you? I did, until my parents told me the truth. I was disappointed, but continued on watching wrestling until my teen years.

 

[Springsteen]

I did for a while until I was told it wasn't. But it being not real has never been a reason for me to stop watching.

 

[dkwrtw]

I thought it was real when I was a kid, I was utterly horrified when Nails nearly killed the Big Boss Man.

 

[dkwrtw]

lol Kane laying waste to the Three Stooges had me ROLLING with laughter

 

[Springsteen]

I was impressed at the way he took the chokeslam actually.

The Jericho/Punk rivalry is great, gets better every week.

Brock/Cena is good but the announcement of the match was too rushed and I don't think John Laurinautas will help it in the long term, I'd rather he wasn't involved.

 

[retro]

Johnny Ace in the middle of the Lesnar/Cena storyline is annoying as hell to me... but ultimately not very surprising either. Jericho and Punk were money as usual... it gets better every single week. Overall though, RAW wasn't anywhere close to as good this week as it was last week.

Fans: We Want Daniel Bryan
WWE: Have Albe.... err, Lord Tensai instead

 

[dkwrtw]

Lord Toolshed may as well just come out as Prince Albert next week, this gimmick is failing so utterly bad.
