R-Truth is now the demented Bugs Bunny, they have done such a good job with him. Too bad he will probably lose this Sunday.

I liked the match between Cena and Punk, Cena actually sold his injuries for once.

Gotta love Stone Cold.

I like that Evan Bourne is winning matches but I would really like to see Swagger and Ziggler dominate abit more. I think they could continue to tag team and work very well.

I like that theyre giving Alex Riley a big push, I just hope they make The Miz look abit less pathetic over time. Though I do realize that theyre simply putting down their once dominant heels right now for the sake of revenge.

"oh no the Big Show was hit by a car!", "It's ok, watch me run down to the ring afew weeks later". The Big Show is a self healing machine.

And the Divas can-canned or something and had an incredibly short match......ok.

Most of Raw was alright and I'm glad I can say that a few weeks in a row now. What they've got going now, is so much better than the Miz vs Cena stuff pre Mania.

You know, I actually think Truth has a shot at the title this weekend. Cena might be working with an injury and if that's the case, it's not far off to think that they give Truth the belt (as a placeholder) while Cena recovers. Also they could have a lot of fun with Truth as the champion.

Probably won't happen.

Christian unfortunately probably has no chance to get the belt, even though statistics would probably say that if he's given this many chances at the main event, he should probably get the title this time. Christian is still getting cheers and I imagine Vince doesn't like that as he's trying really hard to get Christian over as a heel. Problem with that is, a lot of people, myself included, enjoy watching Christian's skills in the ring and are fans of him no matter if he's a heel or face. I think at this point, Christian loses and moves on to feud with someone else :(

We should start predicting the matches for Capitol Punishment soon. Just need to wait until SD for all the matches to be finalized.

Already wearing the damn shirt, what a douche.

Cena is due to defend his title against ADR at Summer Slam, so you people can forget about him dropping the belt to R-Truth.

Austin 3:16 just whooped that labtop's ass.......well, ran over it. Several times. Which was even better. :P

What's even better than Stone Cold? Both Stone Cold AND Hot Rod. ^_^ The two of them can even make the reading of a phone book awesome.

How long will it be before Ricardo finally says the Spanish equivalent of "FUCK THIS SHIT; I'M OUTTA HERE!!!!"?

There were only two things bad about that show: (1) the end part of the Divas match, and (2) teasing us with a Morrison return match, then only to say "HAHA, FOOLED YA, DUMBASS!!!". Of course, if it is going to be Cena vs. ADR for SS, then I guess this was just to reinforce the return to the Truth/Morrison feud after Sunday.

Look I don't even know

Doesn't mean that they don't have him win the belt and then do what they did with Christian before SS. Plans are also subject to change at any time.

They are, but I feel like this is more about giving Truth a low pressure test and seeing how he carries himself at a top level vs. pushing him through. As long as he leaves strong from the loss, I see no problem doing it. This is the CORRECT way to test guys out on top, vs. "hey let's give them the belt then shit all over them and watch what they do". I think if anybody gets the belt any time soon, it's ADR. I think the situation with Edge really messed with their plans for him and they may well decide to have him beat Superman at the big show.

Orton is interesting, he's actually got a legit concussion and it's being said it'll be a "game day decision" about whether he can compete or not in some form. I think that gives Christian the potential to get the belt at least so long as the concussion may sideline Orton. I think they really should give Christian a run with that belt to see what they have there. Orton on top isn't really a draw, don't think it ever has been, and I think something legitimately different may help them expand that Friday audience a bit.

Sadly, yes. The little kids will burn the WWE headquater down if their hero Cena loses.
Prepare to be raped in the butt as Cena will not lose the title until WM 28 to say the least. >:(

This is from Randy Orton's twitter as of this afternoon:

"About to take an Impact test. It will determine if I can be cleared to fight Christian, after receiving a concussion. Wish me luck."

This is a very very bad situation for WWE from where I sit. Because even if Orton passes the test, how exactly do you book this match, and I think you almost have to give the belt to Christian to take that pressure off Orton so that he has more time to heal up. If the test doesn't go the way they want, you have an advertised PPV main event you'll have to change and promote with no television shows to really do so (and if they DON'T at least TRY to get that word out, then they are utter scumbags for yet again bait and switching their audience). I know I may become unpopular for saying it but...Orton should not be a top guy, he's too injury prone. He has talent, but my God, if you're Hulk Hogan, but you get hurt all the time, averaging one scary injury every year or two that endangers the companies plans...how can you build around Hulk Hogan? Randy Orton is no Hulk Hogan. Time to take that belt off and find reasons to keep it off methinks, so if he does go down the catastrophe is somewhat buttressed.

I say give the title to Christian and let him have a decent run with it.

At 6/18/11 11:40 AM, Tetris wrote: oh hey orton passed the impact test.

I'm glad he has passed but this isn't his first concussion and from what I understand, if you've ever had a serious one then you are more prone to having them in the future. I really hope Orton doesn't end up like Bret Hart did where one nasty concussion made him retire. Even though Orton has passed the test, the fact that he is still so freshly hurt makes it a very unhealthy and dangerous thing for him to compete.

I don't think the WWE will do it, but a smart thing to do would be to let Christian win the belt and carry it for a little while. Give Orton time to fully heal so that he isn't taking a bigger risk than need be. I know they view Orton as a top guy but he's no good to them if he's worked too hard.

It's been a good PPV so far, except for "Barack Obama" that was painful to watch.

Sounds like a rather lacklustre PPV..............which is bad when it's being held in our nation's capitol.........

So, Orton's injury is that serious? He's been one of the top guys for a very long time, even though, yes, he's somewhat injury prone - although not any more than Edge was. Regardless, if it's that bad, then I agree that he should drop the belt for a while & heal up, because we all know he can always get it back easily later.

Ah, I forgot how friggin' insane Show can act. :P He does it so well. Buuuut, I would think they'd keep Henry off for a while to, y'know, sell the beating from Friday?

I'd rather not know about the Obama bit...... :/

In ADR vs Big Show... Henry destroys Big Show, and the ref starts counting him out. No DQ. And if the match HADN'T started yet, why the fuck was he counting?!

Ok, yeah, that is a tad confusing......

Also, no DQ when the kid splashes Truth with the water.

Maybe being a kid makes him exempt from interference rulings?

I thought the PPV was pretty good up until near the end, most of the matches were well played and solid. John Cena matches are a complete joke though, I didn't even bother watching half of it because you already know the outcome. But atleast they allowed Truth to show some strength during the match.

The Obama thing was a complete waste, you think the resounding boos would have been a big clue.

My favourite match was CM Punk vs Rey, though the long holds were abit much.

I guess Randy was ok to wrestle, good match but I really think Christian should have won.

I liked the Wade vs Jackson match, i'm abit confused by why Lawler interviewed Jackson afterwards though. I also liked Wade's promo before the match.

Miz vs Riley was a good match, nothing silly was pulled and they just wrestled.

ADR vs Show was...um......oh hey Mark Henry.

Kingston vs Ziggler, good match aside from Vickie's brief interference. Ziggler really needed that championship for a good push and he got it.

Swagger vs Bourne, this has been a good feud for both guys. Though it is mostly good for Bourne because (we remember he's alive) and that he is fun to watch in the ring. Both guys work well together in the ring and it has been reasonably back and forth, though I predict Bourne being destroyed by Swagger in some manner soon enough.

It wasn't a terrible PPV, it was better then OTL and was pretty fun to watch.

My feelings on the PPV were as follows:

Me: Oh hey Capitol Punishment...not a terrible card!

CP: I KNOW, RITE?!

Me: Damn, CP. This PPV has not been too bad at all. CM Punk vs Rey was really good and they matches have been interesting overall...what is with the fake president? What is with the Kieth Stone? This makes no sense but it is ok! :)

CP: HEHEHE :3

Me: did...did orton just win? Did you really have it so there is more controversy to continue this feud?

CP: YUUUPPP!

Me: And...Cena just won? You son of a bi--

CP: Sorry...I thought you wanted the title matches to be fairly disappointing?

To be honest 90% of the show was great...if R-Truth won then it would have been a great show...but nope...super Cena. Oh and on top of that I cannot stand Cena matches because he is on the ground frustratingly overselling being dead for 90% of the match and then magics into being fine with no problem being hurt, tired, or good. God damn it...

Capitol Punishment was very underwhelming. They could have done so much better with the main event title matches as neither ended with a straight up conclusion.

Kofi/Ziggler was good and I don't mind Ziggler being US champ though they should try and make an angle surrounding the belt. (I keep saying this and it doesn't happen)

Miz/Riley was not as bad as I thought it would be, and I'm shocked they had him pin Miz clean. Riley getting a push is unexpected given his previous crony position, and Miz getting buried again is a poor move. He is a good entertainer and they need to change their plans for him ASAP. Interesting to see that they chose Riley's finisher to be the Edgecution.

Big Show and ADR was a train wreck for me. Having Mark Henry feud with Show when they're on different brands doesn't really make sense, but then again, there's little from stopping Show from being on either show at this point. Having the ref stop the match was just anti climactic and made the match seem pointless.

Wade Barrett needs to have more talking segments. He is awesome at it.

Zeke and Barrett was ok. I was laughing at the crowd for chanting USA even though Zeke isn't from America. I'm glad they're giving Zeke a chance with the IC title, and at the same time, I hope this leaves Barrett open to go after a world title run at some point. He has the potential to be in that spot.

CM Punk and Rey Mysterio was the best match of the night. Well paced, and full of entertaining spots. And hopefully with his win, it means that Punk is staying with WWE. At the same time Mysterio's tendency of only losing at PPVs continues on. (I know he loses sometimes outside of PPVs but very rarely)

Christian and Orton was good but had a disappointing ending. You wouldn't think that they'd continue the feud after this many PPVs but you know that's what's going to happen after the result. Vince is probably enjoying teasing the fans who still cheer for Christian out of this. (YOU WANT HIM TO BE THE WORLD CHAMP? SURE WE'LL GIVE HIM ANOTHER SHOT...AND HE'LL LOOOOOOOOSE! *Belly laugh*)

Bonus match of Swagger vs Bourne was depressing. Not because of the wrestling. That was great. But the crowd was absolutely dead, even for the ending which was an impressive sequence. The DC crowd as a whole was actually pretty terrible. Should have imported the Seattle crowd and it would have been better.

Cena and Truth was boring. Mostly because they have a very precise and simple formula for John Cena title matches: Have Cena get beat down for most of the match so all the little kids will start to get worried that their hero will lose. Have Cena come out of nowhere to do his five moves of doom set to end the match. The kids feel that good has prevailed over evil, learn a lesson about being a better person somewhere in there (not really) and go to bed in their Cena gear that their parents begrudgingly paid 100 bucks for at the arena. Plus this time Cena cheated and had help from Little Jimmy proving the conspiracy theory correct. I hope R Truth still gets a good amount of time on the mic after this.

My dislike for Cena has grown a lot if you haven't noticed.

So Money in the Bank is happening about 20 minutes away from me. Think I should go?

Sad things in the WWE:

1) John Cena being champion for a year.

2) CM Punk could be leaving

3) Cena's 5 moves of doom.

4) Promoting good matchups (such as Bryan and Rhodes but they have been getting better at that).

5) Not pushing people other than like 2 people (although they SEEM to be getting better at that).

6) Terrible endings to matches (they are NOT getting better...they need to fix that...really).

7) CM Punk could be leaving and if he does and goes to TNA I will begrudgingly watch...please tell me this will not happen. But if it does...I really don't blame him as he should be champion and they will NOT take it off Cena.

I see Punk taking time off and just sitting and biding his time for a little while, thus increasing his value.

although that's just an example because he's trashed tna on his twitter many times and would never go there

Yeah, he's been there, hated it...begged to be released, got released, can't see him ever wanting to go back in there for any reason or length of time.

Like I say, if he's out, I see him out like Jericho, he'll either just sit and wait till the bug bites him again and WWE gives him what he wants, or he'll pursue some projects outside of WWE while he waits for the bug to bite him and gets the deal he wants.

"Until then, I will lie here and make snow angels", if CM Punk doesn't win in July or atleast get a killer last match it will be the worst thing WWE will have done in a while. Hopefully Cena's injuries will get the better of him so he will have to sit out until Wrestlemania (fuck that he would wrestle in a wheel chair and still not sell it).

Besides CM Punk, the confrontation between Truth, Christian and Miz was the only other highlight of the night. Though they need to take Truth's character a bit more seriously in the ring because he can wrestle.

Omfg guys Kelly Kelly is the new Divas champion, now for Lawler to interview her to test if shes still has absolutley no mic skills. Yup. God forbid the "crowd" chose Beth Pheonix.

Cody and Daniel work well in the ring together but I wouldn't mind seeing both move on with their characters, Cody also needs to lose the silly mask now but stay with DiBiase.

On a final note, i'm glad Mayson was wrestling on his own. Hopefully they build on him.

While I agree Punk should get a good match on his way out the door (and I truly believe he will, his stuff with Cena prior has been enjoyable), or even better a win and a slight extension to really make him a hated son of a bitch and hopefully put the belt on somebody new to elevate them come Summerslam. But what I don't agree with is wishing for somebody to get hurt. I don't like Cena's character, I don't like how he's booked, and I certainly don't like the fact that he could try harder and lobby for better in terms of both those things and he doesn't. But with that said, he gives everything he has to that company, and to charity, and is as a human being a truly wonderful role model. I think it's pretty fucked up that because you hate the character, you wish harm to the actual person. What a nasty, bullshit thing to say.

Besides CM Punk, the confrontation between Truth, Christian and Miz was the only other highlight of the night. Though they need to take Truth's character a bit more seriously in the ring because he can wrestle.

If Truth is ever going to be a "player" (and the potential is surely there I think), then yeah, WWE has to treat him like one, they have to build him and pick a serious direction for his character and stay with it. He's a talented veteran at this point, and that's something WWE really needs to make use of.

Omfg guys Kelly Kelly is the new Divas champion, now for Lawler to interview her to test if shes still has absolutley no mic skills. Yup. God forbid the "crowd" chose Beth Pheonix.

The crowd did what they expected them to do. The divas division is a wreck and a joke and WWE has trained anyone paying attention to want Kelly to beat the "mean girl" bellas...plus I have to wonder if Beth is doing a little penance for who she chooses to be involved with romantically...which is horse shit.

Cody and Daniel work well in the ring together but I wouldn't mind seeing both move on with their characters, Cody also needs to lose the silly mask now but stay with DiBiase.

I'm fine with this feud continuing on awhile longer and being something that both guys can eventually come back to after it's all over. I also agree Rhodes and Dibiase staying together is a plus and I really think WWE should find a way sooner rather then later to get those tag belts on them as they could do much more with the potential extra exposure then Nexus ever will.

On a final note, i'm glad Mayson was wrestling on his own. Hopefully they build on him.

I don't see it. The guy is big and green and I think they need to put the big man boner back in their pants, send him back to FCW and develop him more.

I'm seeing a lot of us want Morrison to be in the ladder match, but will he be healed in time to participate? I read he is recovering from a pinched nerve, and I don't really know how serious of an injury that is. In any case, I hope the reported heat he had on him will die down by the time he gets back.

I hope (won't happen) that the MITB winner cashes in right after the Cena vs Punk match and take the WWE title from Cena.
The expressions of the little kids when Cena lost to Barrett was priceless.

Oh dear, MudkipsPiano is over the edge. :P

I was mention Cena's injuries as a point of his inability to sell (though I wouldn't want him to get seriously injured).

Money in the bank is always a great opportunity to push a certain wrestler and hopefully change belts, I (like others) predict that someone will cash in during the Cena/Punk match. I'm looking forward to this PPV.
