It'll be my favorite angle ever if every shot during the opening promos is a different one of Lesnar
Are they really going to abide by that when Brock won't even be on Raw all the time?
What have I missed since Mania?
Well besides the Yes chants, a ton of guys redebuted including Skip Sheffield aka Ryback, Damien Sandow aka Idol Stevens, Lord Tensai aka Albert, and Titus O'Neil/Darren Young from NXT.
Knew about the A-train thing, wasn't to jazzed about it and I saw the Husky Harris/Deliverance promo; thought that was pretty sick.
Even this was more entertaining than Raw excluding Edge's Appearance & CM Punk/Jericho Segment
A couple of videos from WWE here.
Hopefully the whole segment goes up sometime soon, it was pretty neat!!
-Edge
-Punk
-Kofi/Jericho
-Nikki/Beth (Other than the Kayfabe injury, it was the 1st diva's match I've bought into in a long time)
-Kane
-Paul Bearer
-MAH BOI DEE-BRY
-Ryder/Santino Tag Team (Please keep this, pleasepleaseplease)
-Funkasaurus
-Ziggler
Things bad about tonight's Raw:
-Brock Lesnar (His character is just a dick, and not in the fun Ziggler sense or the over the top Jericho sense. He is also obviously a witch as he appeared to have gone cleanly over Hogan, which is a scientific impossibility last I checked)
-Cody getting crushed again (Hoping this leads to a win at Extreme Rules though)
-R-Truth still not on the mike, and squashed by Lord Hentai.
-WWE's continuing success in making me want Cena to win.

I feel like they needed 1 more week or a crazy good video package to really drive home the Cena/Brock showdown.
I honestly can't call the out come of the match. I can't call the outcome because basically I can't see Brock losing but I can't see where Cena (or more specifically Cena's fans) go if Cena loses.
A year and a half ago they were chanting "Never Give Up" as he was fired by Nexus, now he's lost two Wrestlemania's in a row including one to a man who last wrestled regularly when many of Cena's fans and merchandise buyers were learning to walk.
That really is funny if you imagine it (or try saying it) in Paul Bearer's voice.
Well, dang.
I mean, good for Beth, but wasn't she just shy of setting the record for the longest Diva's Title reign? I think she's deserving of that accolade, and hate to see it cut short.
Once again, WWE: Screw you.
it's their special of way of telling people with DVRs to go fuck themselves
I think we're overlooking the most entertaining event of the night, right there.
Also, if WWE's goal is to make me somehow, someway, hate Brock Lesnar more than I already did, they are succeeding in the worst way possible. That worst way? Giving the overhyped, overvalued jackass a microphone and airing clips of him talking repeatedly.

The problem I see (or have, to be exact) is it's "bad heat". Getting a guy hated because he is, clearly, HORRIBLE on the mic and given way too much time on it is counter productive. It's X-Pac/Vickie(who, admittedly, eventually turned that into "good heat") heat, aka: I do not want to watch/listen to this person, let me change the channel/fast-forward/not buy this PPV heat.
I don't know, though, if this is how everyone is reacting to it or just people like myself who came in going "Yeah, why is everyone excited for this neanderthal with a bully complex coming back? Does no one remember how he left?"
And besides, it's a bad match for Cena to get him liked. The only time Cena comes off as really likable, with good promos and a strong storyline, is when he's matched up with guys who can cut good promos and have good charisma for Cena to play off of (Rock, Edge, CM Punk, etc.). When's he's up against guys who give him nothing to work with we just get increasing volUME PROMOS!, which does nothing to win over the "smarks".
occasionallywearsahat.com, my rambly ramblings of ramble
As for his mic skills, he's not great by any stretch but he's better served to do those backstage promos like last week. I think they did that segment last night just to pile on the fact that this isn't the Brock from 2002 and he knows his supposed self worth. Afterwards they'd best stick with the "Cena's pissing himself" type stuff because that seemed much more natural.

But all Cena has is the WWE. He has to win at Extreme Rules, because he has nothing to go back to. The Brock left, and became an international superstar. He doesn't care about the WWE. Cena's not promoting a movie here, this is his life. Dwayne Lesnar has other things going on and has his people looking out for him.
Wait...shit...
Big difference; Rock at least acted like he wanted to come back and gave a very heartfelt speech after Mania expressing his love of the WWE and wanting to eventually return. And Rock/Cena was never about replacing Cena. Brock/Cena IS about wanting to replace Cena.
the more I see brock
the less I want to eat Jimmy John's
Yeah, no, I fully agree with that, sort of. At least from a kayfabe standpoint (because why would Rock ever want to actually be a major part of WWE when he's filthy fucking rich just being Dwayne).
I just feel like they are trotting out the same scripts from the last 6 months and switching lines around. I really was fine with bloody, ass-kicking Cena wanting to come out and brawl with Brock Lesnar. I don't really need a list of demands, and Edge reminding us that this is all Cena has.
Its sort of like the Punk/Jericho angle. They had me at "Who's the Best in the World", and sort of lost me with the alcoholism.
Just leave well enough alone and build things up with simple storylines if you are going to sell PPVs on name alone anyways.
Its all part of the plan to get you to buy more #DoritosLocoTacos.
r-truth's crazy man conspiracy gimmick
that ruled
all tryin to suck up to mr haitches and slapping the drink out of little jimmy's hand and staring down big jimmy
god
that whole fucking thing ruled
and his fear of heights, culminating in that wonderful gag at MitB where he grabs the shortest ladder possible
Fair enough but at least Brock/Cena is one month long while Rock/Cena was one year.
Also I'm really curious as to what Cena will do after the PPV. I so want to see him come out a broken man that forces him to change up his character. NOT A HEEL TURN mind you but just something different.
Now, if he would have used the chain...
Tito Ortiz was this way before Brock, but you're right that Brock filled that role as well.
Edit: and this honestly wasn't meant to be so assholeishly pedantic, sorry!
