Mixed bag. The stuff with Cena and Brock was all awesome, beginning and end. I was kind of hoping they'd keep Brock and Lauranitis separate from each other, but oh well. I feel like Brock is a huge star and being associated w Laurinitis might bring his star down a notch or two. Hope not.
I don't know enough cuss words to describe the 3 Stooges abortion, especially the Hulk Hogan stuff. That actor doing that impression jumped the shark YEARS ago. There's a reason MAD TV isn't on TV anymore and that Fan Trav impostor was their top star if you can believe that. I LOVED hearing them showered with boos. If you want to put out a 3 Stooges movie in 2012, just show the original ones and put them in the theaters. They'd save millions and it would be a billion times better.
Half the show pushed Brock as a legit threat, and monster, while the rert of the show basically made wresting look super fake and stupid. Frustrating.

man when Lauranitis came out to open the show i thought 'oh heck it's going to be a two hour wait to see brock." Then Lesnar came out. Damn that was awesome. I cannot remember Cena being bloodied. I mean he may have, i just don't have any memory of it. Funny thing to me, at one point Cole said Brock had come back and attacked the number 1 guy. Which is interesting . We know that's true, but Punk is holding the title. Kind of shows you where we are. Use to be the Champ was the number 1 guy. And again, there's Punk in the middle of the show.
Lesnar didn't get as many cheers at the end as i thought he would. I'm not sure it makes sense to allign him with Lauranitis, nor is it clear why Lauranitis wants Cena taken out....isn't he always feuding with Punk?? Seems like they should have just brought back Lesnar on a personal mission to take down Cena.
yeah, 3 Stooges thing didn't really work out. If they're going to pretend that they're really the Stooges, why would Curly suddenly be doing hogan??
wait. wait. did we not make it through RAW with no Diva match?!

I thought it was a solid show, with the exception of the parts where the "Stooges" weren't being choke slammed by Kane.
The Brock/Cena brawl was awesome. It really gave it a feel of these guys want to beat the crap out of each other. And I love Lesner stiff shotting Cena. And I don't really see this as a problem of Ace feuding with Cena. IT kind of makes sense. Cena lost at Wrestlemania. The guy who is the "face" of your company just got beat. Well now I have this guy who was HUGE here before, was HUGE in the UFC and is now back...I'm going to make HIM the "face" of the company. Clown Shoes even said it himself. And of course to become the face of the company, you have to take out the face of the company. The fact that the guy who is the face of the company is the guy who beat you for his first title win and named his finisher as an insult to you just makes it sweeter.
I like the Punk/Jericho stuff. It's a battle of wills, and I like that. It's "hard headed, idealistic" Punk against "get in his head, spin truth and lies" Jericho. A good mental feud, not just another "I'm big, you're big, let's fight!"
Does anyone else feel like the Hogan impersination was meant a little more as a middle finger to Hogan? Another "Oh you are doing something in Florida...well WE OWN YOUR LEGACY! Hulkamania, ours. The nWo, ours. Everything you ever were we now own." I mean they took him out of the title graphic (the little signature before the show). They only mention him in passing anymore. Do you really think they would let Saso (who I agree was never funny to me) do that impression if it wasn't a work-shoot to stick it in Hogan's face how far he's fallen without the WWE?
Does anyone else think the missed an opportunity with the Stooges having no interaction with Pat Paterson, Jerry Briscoe and Sgt. Slaughter? That might have been funnier than stupid, overused and tired Santino schtick. I mean I thought I saw all three of them in the crowd that parted Cena from Brock.
Ryder lost again. Has his star finally fallen? I sure hope so, he never deserved it to begin with. He is no Tyler Reks.

I really enjoyed the heat between Punk and Jericho. I think at Extreme Rules those two could have the potential to steal the show! With Cena vs. Lesnar, Extreme Rules is gonna be a great PPV!

I don't know enough cuss words to describe the 3 Stooges abortion. LOL. When they did the Stooges backstage skit, I thought "Well, at least they're not going to come out to the ring because they'll get booed out of the building." Looks like WWE didn't get this memo. Man that was bad. Just bad. I liked the Lesnar-Cena brawl, but thought it was stupid when the superstars piled into the ring to pull them apart. For example, why the hell does Del Rio care about Lesnar and Cena brawling? The Miz? Sheamus? It made no sense whatsoever. They should've just had refs, security, and Johnny Ace get involved . Damien Sandow is already on my nerves. |

I loved Kane coming out and killing the stooges, considering they ostensibly weren't heels. It shows that the writers knew that the bit was going to bomb horribly, and the only way to pop the crowd was having Sasso get destroyed. Gotta admit he took a hell of a bump.

I mean most of the heel would've just stod there and watched, especially if that meant Brock would be free to pulverize Cena. I would've laughed if Miz told the other heels to pull up chairs and get popcorn. That would've been more believably than their holding Brock back. |
