I don't care what anyone says, the Cena/Eve/Kane/Ryder stuff last night was gold. Pure gold. Between this, Punk vs. Jericho and DB vs. the world over on SD, I'm really into WWE right now. One of the best and funnest story packages/endings on RAW ever. Holy F what a bump Ryder took. I swear he broke both of his ankles...how he made it out of there uninjured is beyond me. The whole dynamic of Ruder being this pathetic punching bag for Kane physically and Eve emotionally is beyond hilarious. I was jumping out of my seat screaming at the TV when Ryder caught Cena kissing his woman...and then when she said she just wanted to be friends....then the end omfg.
The opening to RAW was one of the dumbest things ever but the Cena/Kane/Ryder/Eve stuff totally saved it. I'm looking forward to this ambulance match maybe more than the chambers now.

That is one opinion...the Eve/Cena kissing scene was about as uncomfortable as uncomfortable gets. The whole Cena/Kane/Ryder/Eve situation is pretty funny...I love how the crowd has turned on Cena. As a whole Raw...not so good.

I don't care what anyone says, the Cena/Eve/Kane/Ryder stuff last night was gold. Completely agree here. Also, I think the entire handling of Ryder's rise in the WWE has been total gold. Some of the best writing for the development of a low level guy to main event character that I can recall. It's been the perfect story of the underdog that rose to the top like a meteor only to suffer every sort of tragedy possible when he gets to the top including the career-ending, life-threatening injuries one would never be possible to overcome, to what I believe will be an even more astronomic rise to the top when he finally does recover from every bone in his body being broken. I'm so vested in watching this 'Ryder Story' that I say screw the Rock, I'd rather see Cena vs. Ryder at this year's WrestleMania in what could be one of the best 'trading places' moments in wrestling with Cena becoming as hated as the night Hogan turned and Ryder being a bigger face than Cena has been. Even though that's not happening since they already have a year invested in the Rock/Cena match, I do feel the writing for some time now has been being done very methodically toward the goal of making Ryder one of The Main Event guys. I could be wrong, and if so at least it has been a really fun watch thus far. |

I throughly enjoyed Raw last night. The matches were good, but they whole twist in the Cena-Ryder-Eve storyline was fantastic. When Cena and Eve played tonsil hockey and Ryder caught them, I was floored. When Eve gave the friends line, she turned into the biggest potential Diva heel. But that bump at the end was sick, and continues Ryder's stretcher streak.
Given his injuries, I'm not expecting Ryder to compete after Wrestlemania. But I could see an Extreme Rules match between Cena and Ryder. While Cena should be the heel in that, I think they will probably twist it so Ryder is the heel.

I liked a lot of elements of Raw. R Truth saved that awful show opening by being completely insane. HHH cut a really good promo with a good amount of fire, even if he couldn't help but shit on the entire roster by saying only HBK, Taker and himself work hard at wrestling.
Did anyone else get the vibe that Eve might be turning in this whole thing, and it will turn out she has been working with Kane all along in order to play Cena and Ryder against each other?
I like that they redid the intro to include Brodus, even though he wasn't on the show.
Daniel Bryan is the best thing in wrestling. He is completely on fire. As much as it pains me to say it, I also absolutely loved Michael Cole praising Bryan.....until he left ringside when he immediately started burying him again. I thought that was stupendous.
Purely a hypothetical, but what would the reaction be if Ryder interfered in the wrestlemania match? I don't mean on the internet, in which it would probably be crapped upon, but do you think the crowd would cheer wildly? I can't quite make up my mind.

wonderful how Ryder was wheelchair bound...oh wait he can walk on crutches....oh wait he can walk without the crutches
WTF
Cole makes no sense to me..he rips Bryan obviously, sometimes he's a heel, and then other times he's seems to be calling it down the middle. Makes absolutely no sense. Maybe bryan turned him down for a date or something.
but the words of the night: Hornswoggle and a box of spiders.

While I still dont like the idea of another Triple H-Undertaker match at Mania, I do think they did a great job of storytelling in the HBK segment last night. Weird to see Undertaker as an obsessed maniac though.

Fact: Kane has made several threats to Eve, but has never physically touched Eve. I was actually confused by how easily he chased Eve into the ambulance, and why Eve didn't jump out sooner.. Or why when Kane started driving away he didn't take care to lock the ambulance, or why Cena didn't open the ambulance himself. I felt Eve must have been in cahoots with Kane to turn young Jedi master Cena to the dark side of the Force. Ryder shouldn't turn heel, but I'd love to see him join Team Bring It. |

Zack is certainly joining Team Bring it, once he back on his show. BTW, Kane did lock the ambulance from the inside, which is why Cena couldnt get in, but Eve was able to break out. Kind of odd, but the sequence made sense. |
