I preferred pandering Punk to condescending Cena though...

Interesting timing, given Punk has his DVD coming out in October. Eh, I guess this'll not affect most Punk fans, especially if his reasons are what I think they'll be.

I prefer condescending Cena simply because it feels a lot more realistic. The Punk of this time last year would hate the Punk of this year. I actually hope he says that next week. Although it'll probably be more about how Cena was still thee guy while he was WWE Champion.

Disappointed/10 about not having a new belt design.

Also, if anyone knows the name of the song they were using for all the upcoming CM Punk vs. John Cena graphics, I would totally love to find that out and download it.

Back when RAW was better than it was now...(but not really) Mae Young gave birth to a hand and that is him all grown up.

Who wants to see Daniel Bryan feud with fucking Charlie Sheen... :?

RAW is 1000 was rather lackluster. The only time I really reacted to anything was when Mae Young and Hand/Son appeared. Even Punks heel turn was lukewarm at best.
Nice touch having all the legends beat down on the One Man Bland.
Wedding was such a non event, in all forms of the expression. Daniel Bryan was basically turned into a nothing, thanks to The Rocks involvement.
Steph/HHH/Heyman/Brock... yeah, lets here it for lazy booking, eh.

DX...Sans Chyna, reunion was sweet.... Pac has got some belly on him now. Guess his voice is still shot, thus nothing much from him. Billy Gunn looked over the moon to be back on TV.

Still trying to work out if I just expected too much or they dropped the ball with this one a little, DX reunion was sweet, great to see Brothers of Destruction! Main event I thought was average, And no SCSA, still most of it was fun, as I say maybe I expected too much

Expected way more. They wasted a segment with that pointless smackdown 6man tag.

Ok, Im gonna say i marked out a shitload during this.... HOWEVER... This wasnt as good as it could have been. Main event ruined it for me. But Yay! Punk heel turn. Given that i have been watching 2005 ROH Punk recently im excited for what can happen as far as punk goes.

Rock vs Punk at Royal Rumble, Involvement by SCSA leading to Punk vs Austin at WM29

I think I went into it thinking it was going to produce a solid show for the ages and go all out with the twists and turns, surprise returns and general mark out moments. What they delivered was simply a 3 hour Raw, that just happened to feature a handful of people from the past interacting with the current crop of talent, none of which walked away looking deserving of any more of my time(Other than Punk, I guess).
Miz & Christian was wasted on this show and its outcome just seems to further my view that WWE, as it currently stands, thinks the only way anyone gives a damn about title changes now is if the outgoing title holder drops the belt to a recently returning talent. Blahhhh to that form of logic.

6 man tag was another display of lazy booking. Having Rey and Sin Cara in a standard tag match would of been a better ratings grabber. But yeah, WWE you know!.

Swagger has got to ask for his release, he is out doing Heath Slater in the Jobber ratings, at least Slater gets an enterance.

Punks slow, Should I/Shouldn't I turn was way to formulated and didnt warrant the silent treatment from the announce team. Though, the sprinkling of Boos Punk got I guess told management that they angle played out well... yet it could of been so much more of a "moment" than it was. Rocks fish out of water sell job honestly had me baffled as to how his acting skills can command such a high fee in Hollywood. I mean, 2 minutes of laying on the mat with a dazed looked on your face, while trying to take in a lung full of air, by way of a fish face... yeah, slap 3 million on that preformance and give him an Oscar.

Yeah, looks like the WM 29 main events will be Rock vs Cena II for the title and Taker vs Brock.

Crowd was shockingly silent for that Rock/Punk/Bryan segment. They seemed utterly confused that Rock just announced he was getting a title shot at the Rumble. Probably because that's 6 months away and we're not used to WWE planning that far in advance.

<3 <3 Heyman. Man, can that guy talk!

Enjoyed the show. Marked for DX & returning faces. Was hoping for SCSA, New title & Ambrose.

JIMMY!
I agree!
That would be good, especially if Punk goes on a sort of "tweener" run that could almost mimic Austin.
It seems logical then also, Austin costs Punk the title, Rock wins and then drops it to Cena at WM.

Can totally see Punk swapping out the title next week also, sighting it being Cena's design that he has been carrying around all this time.

AJ as GM? Ah........ok!
:lol:

The show as a whole wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't amazing incredible wicked cool stuff either.
I didn't really have super big expectations either though.

How long till we all officially start moaning about RAW being too long.
Lets set the line at 1.5 weeks :P

*edit*
Also :lol: @ Taker trying to flick off his hood and it sticking to his head for a bit. Oooh intimidating.
