    There's a lot of overlap between mma and wrestling fans. That, and that was a wrestlemania crowd, so it was a little smarter than your average crowd

    everyone needs to stop flipping their shit when someone they like loses a match or gets "slighted"

    for fuck's sake

    I learned this lesson long ago being an Al Snow / Abyss / Daffney fan. Dudes lose matches, but just have fun cause they do get their moments in the sun and they usually are awesome.

    Lesnar's deal is actually pretty good, in that he'll definitely be appearing a lot more than Rock did. Of course, he doesn't have the same schedule that Rock does, but still:
    PWInsider reports that Brock Lesnar's new WWE deal is for one year, lasting through WrestleMania 29.

    He will be making a minimum of two appearances a month, including extra appearances during the build to WrestleMania 29. WWE can of course negotiate more appearances for Lesnar if he agrees to do them. The belief is that Lesnar will work 30-35 dates over the next year.

    Still no word on how The Rock will play into this, if at all.

    Lesnar actually made his WWE main roster debut 10 years ago on the RAW the night after WrestleMania.

    Watched this on DVR. So happy I decided to watch. I am pretty sure I was standing up during the last 5 minutes. The whole show was fucking fantastic.

    Okay, the YES! chants are amazing, that's taken as granted.

    But I can't figure out which spinoff I loved more: NO! or SI!

    It's a tough call.

    Daniel Bryan's popularity doesn't surprise me at all. Look at this video:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N58StLY4P5c

    Here he is, largely unknown to a majority of the people in attendance going up against a guy who WWE had buried so deep at the time he was losing to Hornswoggle weekly. Six minutes later the guy was getting a pretty loud pop from a majority of the arena. He's just undeniable at what he does.

    ...and now the man is so over that people leaving the arena were chanting "YES" by punching their car horns.

    Ah, you remembered me. Lets see what I got.
    Yes! chants are amazing.
    Sheamus vs. Del Rio doesn't interest me at the moment.
    Divas are why DVR was invented
    A-Train should stop turning Japanese, I think he's turning Japanese, I really think so.
    Even if CM Punk is the opponent, Mark Henry is unwatchable.
    Jericho slipping was the highlight for me, along with people chanting for Lesnar, and Cena trying to change the subject.
    Brock looked a little AIDSy, and should have done his ring jump thing with the pyro and what not.

    Brocks return would've been more amazing, but I made the mistake of going to facebook before watching RAW, and a friend said "Holy shit, Brock lesnar!" Should've known to watch the RAW after Mania live.

    Aww I'm so bad at this...

    Oh fuck...now I'm picturing a Ziggler sell of the F5. Dude will flop his way through the roof of the arena to sell the devastation that the move reportadley causes!

    The Bryan/Sheamus thing will not "sabatoge the company". Was it stupid and unnecessary? Yes but they sold the show on HHH/Taker and Rock/Cena along with Jericho/Punk to a lesser extent and those matches delivered.

    Sabotage is not the same as sinking. Purposefully making their product look bad and/or fake IS sabotaging it. Whether it's making WCW look like a complete non-threat in an invasion angle to boost their own ego, embarrassing JR/Natalya/etc for a laugh or making one of their best wrestlers and one of the main title holders look like shit, it's detrimental to their business.

    Or I need to stop reading Wade Keller writing about wrestling.

    I had to look it up after this post. Was he seriously confused why people were booing Sheamus? SERIOUSLY!? Is he always that dumb?
    Even if CM Punk is the opponent, Mark Henry is unwatchable.
    You're the worst. Mark Henry is awesome, so long as he's booked properly (as a monster heel).

    Anyways, my thoughts:
    - Johnny Ace is the best GM. Now that the real heel GM is gone (Teddy), I guess he'll be acting a lot more heelish from this point on.
    - Wrestlemania is over, can they please stop playing that awful song? And chance the Raw/SD themes while they're at it. PLEASE?
    - Rock's speech dragged a bit but it wasn't bad. I did love how he purposefully led the crowd into a "yes yes yes" chant. It'll be interesting to see where he goes from here. I assumed he'd have a rematch with Cena at Summerslam and then lead into maybe Punk at Wrestlemania next year but who knows.
    - Yes/Daniel Bryan/Si chants all day, every day. Now lets hope the casual fans don't drop the ball in the coming weeks and the momentum is kept up.
    - Ziggler and Swagger can't even win a virtual handicap match? Blah. And considering all the rumours about Brotus Clay, I hope he doesn't kill them.
    - Henry/Punk was pretty cool and I loved Ace/Jericho's little bits. I'm kinda surprised there hasn't been more of a reaction to the alcohol actually, even though it would've just been coloured water or something.
    - Ugh Sheamus as champion. Yay...
    - Awesome, Del Rio's back. But it looks like he's going to be fed to Sheamus as well, ugh.
    - Matthews is the (kayfabe) worst backstage interviewer ever.
    - Cena is still Cena, which is disappointing. I really wish he'd stop dropping character all the god damn time, even if I kinda enjoyed him acknowledging D Bryan.
    - Lesnar's return was good, though the crowd ruined any possible element of surprise (and seemed to piss of Cena while they were at it).

    Easily the most consistent and best Raw we've had in a long time. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

    One tiny but great thing that I think didn't happen before..... Del Rio has gone from saying 'My name is Alberto Del Rio' to saying 'My name is ...' and then Ricardo starts up again.

    Best RAW in years, I barely watch anymore and I was not only tuned in all night, I even posted about it. The crowd was of course fantastic...but kudos to the WWE for capatlizing on that heat with a great show. Punk and Bryan are just on fire right now, Sheamus is getting a nice push with the belt and Lesnar's return was the kind of huge event that just doesnt happen as often as it used to.

    Nopers. Can't like Henry. He does have funny trash talk, but I don't like to watch his matches. Put him on commentary, and maybe I'll come around. Make him Sexual Chocolate, and I'll watch everything he does. Kinda like R-Truth. Have him be just some guy that sings a shitty song on his way out, no thanks. Have him act insane and racist. Yes sir. Eddie Fatu being painted up and talking like Mr. Peepers? NARP! Have him be Jamal in 3 Minute Warning? YARP! I'm complicated.

    Cena's promo was amazing. Once he realized everyone in the building knew Rock wasn't coming out, then trying to still sell it.

    I honestly could care less about Brock Lesnar, as much as that makes me a wrestling heathen. But hey, the Attitude Era is back...I guess.

    Prince Albert looked pretty awesome last night, and both Ricardo and A-Ry are back on TV!

    Also, am I the only one who thought RAW was actually a better show than WM?

    This is from Wrestlezone so make of it what you will
    Brock Lesnar has signed a 1 year contract with WWE according to PWInsider.com.

    Lesnar is signed to make a minimum of two appearances per month over the next year according to reports. It is expected by WWE that Lesnar will make 30-35 appearances over the next year with an increase of seeing Lesnar when WrestleMania gets closer.

    There is room in this new contract for negotiation to add more dates and the proper compensation to Lesnar's schedule.

    Assuming direct control O-O

    So is Lesnar going to destroy everyone or are other talents going to actually beat him

    Formula for next 363 days.

    Step 1) Lesnar appears
    Step 2) Lesnar F5's someone
    Step 3) Someone challenges Lesnar to fair fight
    Step 4) Lesnar destroys aforementioned someone in fair fight
    Step 5) REPEAT for 50 more weeks
    Step 6) Profit
    Step 7) Has Lesnar signed for another year?
    If Yes goto step 8 if not goto step 11
    Step 8) Lesnar goes to Wreslemania and wins
    Step 9) Profit
    Step 10) Goto Step 1
    Step 11) Lesnar goes to Wreslemania and loses
    Step 12) Profit

    I mean thy could do something edgey and original but why would they want to fuck up a guaranteed stream of money?

    Happy to see @dcbrocklesnar back in @wwe. One more dude who's face I can stomp into the ground. #jointhelist
    More from Scott Steiner...

    - Scott Steiner has been busy on Twitter in the last day, discussing TNA, Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and more. Here is the latest from Steiner…

    Read my tweets people, I am not blasting TNA if I do I will let you know. Right now, I'm trying to save TNA because its The Titanic and its sinking fast because Hogan and Bischoff are doing the same bullsh** they did to destroy WCW. It took them 1 1/2 months to drive TNA to its lowest ratings ever. The best way to save it is to jump off and be the voice for the guys that can't say anything.

    In response to a fan saying he was bitter that he was gone from the company, Steiner responded, "Bitter???? I have nothing to be bitter about! I have a contract extension signed by TNA officials that under the circumstances that under the circumstances I would not sign."

This discussion has been closed.
