LOL The guest host of Raw tonight. WWE usually have celebrities host Raw from time to time.

Aaron Paul gets major bonus points from me for putting over Ziggler big time.

Butch718 · Post #706 » by **Butch718** » Tue Mar 4, 2014 3:30 am

Gotcha. I assume he's promoting Need for Speed.

When I tuned in I saw him standing on the announcers table. I was like "WTF?"

Man, the difference in Batista's arms and shoulders from when he was juicing is amazing.

That ending felt like a big FU to Chicago.

Well it seems Punk really did walk out. Shame.

Good Raw, but its likely all downhill from now on.

Kinda figured no CM Punk after it was announced last night.

That was a sports GM move. Like when a team leaks it's interest in a player on purpose.

1 of 2 things.

Either CM Punk returns the night of WM30

Or

He's just really not coming back. ( which I doubt)

Seems like WWE doesn't know what to do with Bryan. On one hand they have the HHH match but on the other hand there headline match could be booed out of the building. aeveryone at WWE wants to see the crowd chanting "yes" as the ppv comes to an end, so why not put him in the match?

I would also find cena another opponent. Wyatt's vs Shield should be part of WM30

I would do the following if I ran wwe

Batista, Orton and Bryan headline match.
Undertaker vs Brock
Wyatt family vs shield
Cena vs kane(Have Cena get involved in a Bryan match)
USO's vs. roads family
Ceserio vs Big E
Divas free for all for title

The whole "burying" Daniel Bryan has totally ran its course. At first I understand that they wanted to build some hatred and rivalry so he can get the big match he wants, but at this point, if he gets it, my interested has dropped each time he gets screwed over.

I am not a fan of the new regime at all.

We've been watching Bryan get his ass beat at the end of Raw for the last 6 months. Now until WM30, we will see the Authority keep Bryan down again and in WM30 he will get his sweet revenge. It's very predictable. The creative team has gotten real lazy with this angle.

When he was demanding to wrestle HHH at WM30, the crowd was just saying No No No. The man should be in the main event of WM30 and winning the title. Vince thought Batista is a bigger sell than Bryan, which is not becoming to be not true. Batista is rusty and out of shape, gets tired really fast.

Kinda disappointed with this whole creative storyline writing.

They need to fire the whole creative team & get some new, young blood in there that actually cares to create new story lines & scenarios. People that actually understand wrestling & WWE's history as well. Who needs to be where.

What's the odds CM Punk interferes in a match at WM30?

Is it the writers or is it Vince McMahon's micromanaging?

It's also hard for me to tell which wrestlers get to have input in their storylines and which ones have to regurgitate exactly what they're giving.

The Shield, there hasn't been one time I've ever felt that the creative team stifles them.

Big E, who is supposed to have a lot of personality, only gets to show it during backstage segments on the WWE App.

I actually feel like the Shield take one of the biggest hits in terms of using the lines that they're fed. If you listen to the promos Ambrose used to do Pre-WWE, they are RAW (no pun intended). Whereas the Shield are always awesome, I definitely sometimes feel like they're just kinda going off of fed/scripted lines or at least fairly narrow subject matter structure.

Ambrose's pre-WWE promos would fit the Attitude era, but not today. I think it takes a very high level of artistry to be able to present something very sophisticated that can adapt itself to a general audience. I think The Shield and Bryan, and even Cena do an impeccable job at this. Even Goldust is incredibly underrated in this regard. Bray Wyatt struggled at the beginning with this, but he was unbelievable the whole time with Bryan and now with Cena.

As much as I love CM Punk, this is where he struggles. He only seems comfortable or happy presenting story lines without constraints. As big as he is, there's a reason why Bryan has transcended above Punk. The common man relates to Bryan more than Punk.

Punk and Heyman could have been the perfect feud, but it was Heyman who had to carry it and make it believable. Punk half-assed his way through a lot of it.

The WWE has really gotten me mad over the past year. No wonder CM Punk basically walked out.

I think this will teach them a lesson concerning bringing old wrestlers back to be main eventers and champions for WrestleMania. They did it once with The Rock. Fine. But hesThe Rock! He is one of the few wrestlers they could do that and get away with it. Steve Austin and Undertaker is another.

But Bastista? This has been one of the biggest flops ever. They brought him in to be a big face against RKO for WrestleMania but now he has no choice but to turn heel because people aren't having it.

Batista vs Randy Orton will be one of the worst WM main events ever unless they fix this. The only logical choice to save it would be to bring Daniel Bryan in as a 3 way title match.

But the WWE isn't all that bright.
