Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.
I really enjoyed RAW last night. A couple things that stood out to me;
Paige needs to work on her mic skills, in a bad way.
I loved the reaction Jack Swagger got. The "let's go Swagger" chants were great.
Poor Adam Rose.
Y2J working with Wyatt will be great.
I BOLIEVE
The CM Punk chants need to stop.
I'm incredibly bored by Kane.
One other thing I'll mention is the "bad news" regarding Bad News Barret's injury. What awful timing. I hope he recovers soon. Same goes for Daniel Bryan. [Reply]
Kane is super boring. My biggest beef with Kane right now actually is that he went from the UNCONTROLLABLE DEMON KANE who broke Daniel Bryan's neck because The Authority can't control him...to back to being in The Authority's full control, without any explanation.
The Bryan injury threw lots of wrenches in to lots of plans. The plan all along was Bryan vs Lesnar at SummerSlam, but Bryan's injury forced WWE to slot Cena in that position.
I'm not happy about Cena winning the title. But to put it on someone else right now risks ruining a guy like Reigns who isn't yet ready for a title run. [Reply]

Reigns is about 6 months from a legit title push/run...
Ambrose/Rollins is a great play right now.....and Ambrose on the mic is gold. I see why everyone was so high on him.
And while it's cool to hate John Cena.....the one thing you have to admit about the guy is that he is good for WWE. Were it not for the fan appeal of Cena (love him or hate him) there really wouldn't have been much over the past couple of years. [Reply]

They could hotshot the title to Reigns at the next PPV, but the big problem is that you end up feeding him to Lesnar at Summerslam and that could damage him in a huge way. It's better to offer up Cena as the sacrificial lamb because he will be big regardless.
Depending on Bryan's injury, you could build toward Lesnar/Bryan at Mania or if he can't go, you can build toward Reigns/Lesnar at Mania. With Reigns' performance last year in the Rumble, it would be a good progression to actually have him win it this year. [Reply]

OH, I definetly see Reigns taking the title from Brock at WM.
That build up will start right at the Royal Rumble.
And honestly, while at first, I was totally against Reigns because I hated the typical "champions have to be huge" thing, he has pretty much all of the talent that you have to have.
He can sell, he has a decent amount of moves, he commands the ring properly, he is decent on the mic. He is not The Rock or anything, but hes much better than Batista, Mason Ryan, RyBack, Bobby Lashley, Umaga, were ever at the same time frame.
And Dean Ambrose is growing on me since he left the Shield. I didn't see all of the hype around him because they really didn't let him be the centerpiece of the shield.
I thought raw was good. it was a horrible downer when it was the Miz who showed up, he got like no reaction, no one cared, and Y2J saved that segment.
But, AJ LEE RETURNING, that was awesome.
I just wish that people would stop associating AJ LEE, with CM PUNK. it tarnishes the fact that Aj LEE is a ratings draw all by her self, and what a talent she actually is.
And I agree on Kane. Enough, is enough is enough. [Reply]

I'm not sure what everyone likes about Lesnar save for the "Goldberg" mentality.
With Reigns you get a guy who sneers and the crowd goes wild....he's got the talent and with a little work on his mic skills he could carry the company for a little while.
Ambrose....Rollins....Reigns...whoever decided to move them up and bring them along like this should be proud of themselves.
The shame is that beyond Reigns, Rollins, Cena, Bryan and Ambrose what else does WWE have?
I don't see the Swagger vs Rusev having much steam beyond a 60 day window...I don't think they know what to do with Bray Wyatt at this point....and Kane/Ziggler/Orton/Dust Brothers don't really add much.

I like A J Lee for the Divas.....
I'm interested in seeing how the Swageer/Rusev thing plays out. The crowd was really behind Swag last night, so we'll have to see if that continues.
Wyatt working with Y2J will be fine for now.
I might be in the minority, but I have zero interest in Goldust. Cody has some talent, and it'd be nice if he had a chance to showcase it. Hell I'd rather see a Goldust/ Coey fued over them teaming up at this point. [Reply]
