NEVER FORGET (how awesome Vince McMahon was on 9/13).
Mentioned or shown in video and show-opening monologue: Vince, George W. Bush, "the troops," Bin Laden. Not mentioned or shown: Current occupant of the Oval Office (unless you count that one guy with the sign).
Nice to finally see Kong/Kharma in action. Shame it had to be on such a horrible episode of Raw.
"The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?"
The Miz was right: without him as WWE champion RAW sucks and will probably be cancelled within a month. Only good things on the show: Kharma and - of course - The Miz's match with Cena.
I purposely skipped the first fifteen minutes, because I heard about the patriotic Raw theme. It never ceases to amaze me how Vince thinks the world revolves around him and his little carnival act. I caught Rock's promo, it was great til Pittbull showed up. The rest I flipped back and forth from the Flyers' game. I love Rock, but the end was so much grandstanding that I felt bored at the end.
Originally posted by It's FalseThey're sure going to give it the old college try with Mason Ryan. If he can do a ten-minute match without embarrassing himself, he'll be in a world title program by the end of the year.

God, I hope not. He's the WWE version of Rob Terry. Those facial expressions were awful, and drew exactly zero reaction.
Nice title match, but hurt by the lame finish. am not sure I can handle (another) year long title reign by Cena.
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
Cena will drop it here and there. Eventually at the Rumble or No Way Out, Rock will interfere to either help Cena keep the belt or have him drop it and declare he doesn't need the belt or something out there. The real problem is keeping people interested for a year especially when Cena holding the belt is about as interesting as watching paint dry. Rock probably needs to work a few more dates like SummerSlam or part of the fall if football comes back, giant if right now on that. They could make it work, but there really isn't any built up trust from them that they could pull it off. Plus, Cena or Rock could get hurt then what?
I didn't catch the first hour. Can someone explain a bit what went on with Kharma leaving Kelly Kelly alone. Did it look purposeful? Just from reading the comments here, it makes me wonder if they're going to go the avenue of Kharma having a khrush on Kelly Kelly and destroying people so she can be champion.
Originally posted by lotjxPlus, Cena or Rock could get hurt then what?
The Rock's not going to get hurt. Why? Because The Rock's not going to wrestle a match before April 1, 2012. It makes absolutely no business sense to give away The Rock's first match in 7-8 years at any point before The Rock's dream match with John Cena as the main event of WrestleMania 28.
Cena may get hurt, but he won't. Protecting John Cena's (and The Rock's) well being is currently one of Vince McMahon's highest priorities.
The Rock vs. John Cena will maintain interest until April 1, 2012. By the time the next Royal Rumble ends until April 1st, we'll be completely oversaturated by Rock vs. Cena hype.
Otherwise, I simply don't understand talk of The Rock wrestling at Summerslam. It's like people freaking out on December 26th over whether the next Christmas will come. Oh shit! What if something ruins Christmas next year? Or we might forget all about Christmas by this time next year! We better have Christmas in August just to be sure!

According to his Twitter page, he had to work on ESPN2's "NBA Tonight" and couldn't make it to Miami. He was still interested in how it was going, though.

Kharma didn't harm Kelly Kelly because she didn't want to injure #82 in the Maxim Hot 100 2011 List.

I'm going to go against the norm and jump on the Whacked-Out Theory that Kelly's secretly on board with this, as part of an elaborate heel turn.

If they can stay away from racial overtones (stop laughing!!) I could get behind a "you my bitch now" angle. ;-)
