Was just offered free tix to the show tonight so I think me and Payback will roll down to the Joe and catch a little live WWE a few days before taking in ROH vs. CHIKARA in the Windy City. Big wrasslin' week fans.
Hopefully it's a good show. I really hope DB shows up so we can get a YES chant going.

Great way to kick off a great week with the NFL Draft, Synergy and Extreme Rules.
I think there will be plenty of Yes chants all night regardless of when Bryan is on screen. Hopefully you see Antonio Cesaro as well, but I'm guessing he will just be on Smackdown screens for a while.

Just got back. Good show. Nothing great outside of the Daniel Bryan referee stuff. Brie Bella winning the diva title was cool. Looking forward to seeing how it came across on TV, but the arena was totally packed, they booed the shit out of Sheamus and LOVED Daniel Bryan. Was given amazing seats by Joe Louis Arena and had fun. Glad we didn't pay for the tix though.

It would be hyperbole for me to say that I will never take CM Punk seriously again, but it will take a while.
Sorry for the negativity, folks. But I swear I heard him say "Z, Y, X, W, V, U, S, T..." which will take him some time to live down, lol.

yeah..he did do that.
Brie Bella....title changes..where does it lead?
Cena at the end...finds his chain...then stands there looking weak. Then the crowd boos. Yeah, Lesnar is gonna take him on when he has a chain. i guess detroit is a pro Cena crowd.

I'm off for two days so I could stay up and watch it. I ended up falling asleep 20 minutes into it, and not from being tired. I think it was then I saw the Bellas walking out.

Very average show but I was expecting that the week of a PPV and being a 3 hour show. There really isn't much point to the 3 hour shows. You don't get to see any longer matches or more of the roster -- just a bunch of hype videos and other shenanigans like the in ring Punk sobriety test.
Doing the YES! chants was really fun. DB is really over. Sucked to see Beth blow out her ankle. She seems to be hurt a lot.
I liked Brock Lesnar demanding stuff from JL, Monolith style.
Really looking forward to getting to Chicago and seeing Chikara/ROH!

I just watched it, mostly in fast forward, the Punk angle was idiotic. The Big Johnny angle and all that surrounds it is just a waste, so done with the "bad" guy boss angles. The one real highlight was Ziggler putting the boot to Hornswoggle and coming up way short, yep Dolph you're Mania Main event material, I just rolled. Overall the show was very bland.

OK Raw. They did a 2 hour show and just stretched it to 3 hours and it showed. Too bad they pushed back the draft.
The Nikki Bella title switch doesnt shock me, as it makes sense to give her a run since her sister got one. Plus if Kharma comes back you dont want her feuding with Beth, but rather the Bellas since they made fun of her when she left. Then build up Beth as the one that could finally beat Kharma in a few months.
Brock's live promo skills in the contract signing were piss poor. Its bad when Johnny is the more eloquent speaker in a promo.
I still love Brodus Clay's entrance and enjoy Hornswoggle with him. Also looks like a tag team of Internet hosts with Ryder and Santino has started. I guess comedy tag teams are better than no tag teams.

Agreed. I watched a good portion of the show and didn't really have fun during any portion of it.
The Punk/Jericho bit was dumb. It didn't really make sense to me why Punk would fake out cops only to bop Jericho in the head with the microphone. I also found it funny that he said Z-Y-X-W-V-U-S-T... Anyone else catch that live?
Was looking forward to the Cena & Lesnar contract signing but there was no pay off. Lesnar flipped the table and that was about it. Even that looked like it was unplanned.
