If people want to know why Raw really feels stale, its because we are approaching 18 years of Raw in its current format (Titantron, angled metal ramp, tons of pyro, opening promo). "Raw is War" debuted March 10, 1997. Too bad they couldn't keep "borrowing" Beautiful People for the long term until Smackdown started.

On the plus side, they did get rid of Nickelback so there's that.

All I know is that Luke Harper's biggest fan was super happy that he won his match. And then completely grossed out at the loogey (or whatever that was) on his beard at the end.

Luke Harper for world champ in 2015!

I would rather be force fed a steady diet of Roman Reigns than whatever amount of Ryback I am about to get.

The irony of the Cesaro promo is that his stumble actually made his frustration look more sincere. If the commentary team had anything like empathy, they would have used it to establish the depth and conviction of Cesaro's puritanism. That would be useful even if WWE just wanted to bury him every single week to make a point about puritans. Or about how worthless Cesaro is. Unfortunately, our hosts are three sock puppets for Vincent K. McMahon.

Daniel Bryan is the man.

The beginning of the flub begins at about the 1:45 mark.

This is a perfect example of how the IWC blows things completely out of proportion. Sure, Cesaro didn't have the greatest comeback after flubbing the line, but there have been much bigger stars do much worse. There's no way that little mistake is going to seal his fate. While Cole & Lawler harped on the mistake, JBL defended him, so he wasn't being buried by the announcers.


And who the hell calls that a squash match? Cesaro had three times as much offense as Barrett, got in his signature spot, and only lost because Barrett cheated.

Yeah, but they were on for so many years, it truly felt like they had to take them away kicking and screaming. (See also: Smackdown and Green Day.)

Call me crazy, but I'm guessing Ryback doesn't get that promo time (or ANY promo time, for that matter) if a certain podcast doesn't see the light of day.

Cesaro's flub was nowhere as heinous as Batista's HIAC "not only are weapons encouraged.......they're ALLOWED" promo from several years back, but hey ho.

I honestly thought Ryback was trying to sell me a self-help book at one point.

You're talking about his appearance on Talk Is Jericho where he gave pretty much the exact promo with considerably more time, right?

Listen to his episode of Talk Is Jericho and he'll try to sell you the second book and the DVD version as well. :)

Cesaro's flub wasn't so bad as the commentators repeatedly harping on him for it.

Hell, they won't let us forget that R-Truth flubbed the town name in a promo, once, four years ago.

Thanks.

Ryback's whole promo happened due to Punk and was condensed from what was said with Jericho. Regardless, Ryback still delivered well and the crowd (and myself) ate it up. Shame Punk will never be back since the legitimacy of any heat between the two would rock the house.

Luke Harper is a boss, but he needs to cook.

    So, yeah, here we go again: Bryan wins the Rumble to set-up Bryan/Lesnar or we riot.


What's crazy is that now we actually have the perfect setup for Cena/Sting at WrestleMania, which is exactly why they won't do it. Cena just undid all of the work Sting (and Ziggler) did at Survivor Series.

Sting could possibly reach 1997 badass levels again if he shows up randomly and starts attacking both Cena and HHH. And maybe Ziggler, too, just to toughen him up. Of course, WWE is probably too worried about one good guy attacking another good guy to do something that intersting.

It's going to be a very interesting month if Bryan manages to become the crowd favorite again. I think there'll be less momentum this year for him, since he got his moment last year and was the one to end Orton's reign, but still, how can anyone (at least the majority) like Roman Reigns, the guy who still has The Shield training wheels on, more than Daniel Bryan?

I have a feeling we may have just gotten the Cena heel turn by default ... who on Earth is going to actually cheer for this idiot now that he's brought back the Authority and their interminable promos and matches with Kane? It's hard enough to maintain him as a face when half the crowd hates him, what're they going to do when Cena gets 80% boos?

All I can say is, thank the Gods that TNA's back next week. I don't care what people say, Impact is superior to RAW 9 times out of 10. I'm glad to have an alternate product when WWE starts to suck ass, because I have a feeling it's only gonna get worse from here. And yes, I know there's Lucha Underground, but I'm never in on Wednesday nights and don't have DVR.
