lol "Real Man's Man" reference!

lol

DANCE!!

Cameraman was at the wrong angle. :naughty:

5 people hardly a battle royal makes

Fuck yeah you mean.

Good show so far.

Except for Cena the jerk who shovels poo buckets into the kiddie b-ball tournament like a manic alligator on ibuprofen.

My god Kaitlyn.

no bellas lol

Why is there only one Funkadactyl here?

Feel like there's 5 divas missing from this match. Not including the Bellas.

Rosa, too drunk to battle royal.

I'm not suggesting they should do this, but I had an idea where around Money in the Bank time, The Shield obviously want a briefcase. Triple H or someone agrees that each member of The Shield has proven their worth, and they will each be given a qualifying match for one of the Money in the Bank Ladder Matches...against each other.

Dean Ambrose is all "You can't break up The Shield like that! We stand for justice!" and Reigns & Rollins are all "Well, dude, we do want to be champion." So they turn on each other and they have a pretty epic Triple Threat out of nowhere. The finish comes when Ambrose, who has been knocked out of the ring, gets a steel chair and goes ape-shit on Roman Reigns, who looks like he is about to win the match. He then goes nuts on Rollins too. He pins one of them and then keeps hitting them with steel chairs, having clearly snapped.

The next week, Ambrose cuts one of those lights-out promos with the audience darkened, and he introduces us to the real Dean Ambrose. He tells us that you don't need to be 7 ft tall, 300lbs to be a monster. He sees one every time he looks into a mirror and he made peace with that monster a long time ago. He reveals The Shield was never about "justice," it was about hurting people. He got off on manipulating Reigns & Rollins and they served a purpose for him until last week. They were the closest things he ever had to friends and now they're lying in hospital beds. He hopes they get PPV because they'll get to see what their pain and misery bought him -- a ticket to the WWE/World Championship. A golden ticket to the championship that will allow him to hurt whoever he wants and however he wants and get paid nicely to do it.

The commentators sell that Reigns & Rollins are out with injuries and that no one has heard from them and that there is no way they will be able to interfere in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. "Ambrose knew that as he was hurting them. He didn't hate those guys -- he just knew he had to take them out." - JBL

You can then either have Ambrose win the MITB contract and have Reigns & Rollins promise that they will ruin his moment whenever he tries to cash-in, or you can have Reigns & Rollins attack Ambrose as it looks like he is about to win the contract, and take him out of the running. Either way, Reigns & Rollins essentially turn face-ish to wage war against Ambrose, who may even get an enforcer to make sure his back is always watched. The bodyguard can just stand there and growl while Ambrose says that this guy knows what he's worth to me. He serves a purpose and as long as he serves a purpose he is the safest man on the planet.

If the WWE wants to get tricky, they could have Big E. Langston turn on Ziggler, help Ambrose cash-in, and then Ambrose manages to win the World Title, foil Reigns & Rollins and earn himself a new ally all at the same time.

Totally thought we were going to see some Hot Lesbian Action there.

AJ is winning this without getting up.

AJ's dead..shouldnt dolph be running out there?

Would love to see Daniel Bryan vs. Regal on Main Event. Just let them go out there and fucking wrestle for like nearly the hour.

AJ wins!

I have to say, Kaitlyn was pretty much the best woman to sit on commentary in like ever.

(skips)

Brodus Clay. The Biker Hard Ass lol

Oh, Brodus is in a movie now.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

brodus needs to have a "May 10th" thing

See No Evil II: Get the Funk Out

no offense, Droford, but that is a bad idea.

Time for da Ryback to make Foley squeal like a piggie

I really like Tensai.

Tensai + Shovel = :y:

Dead quiet.

Ryback's wearing a beanie because he's a heel. Serious heel shit.

They should have paid Goldberg to do this

Just keep on talking, Mick. Story here, cheap pop there. Crowd ain't into this.

This is what Ryback's promos sound like to me...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEuLsw4BzDg

Mick Foley is your destiny Ryback

SHUT UP FOLEY

Foley: Feed me snore.

Wow Ryback's pissed.

Super Cena LOL

SUPER CENA

SuperCena.

Wait a minute!

Skip Sheffield is on a roll!

:lol:

This is just making me annoyed at all the people who have bitched about how Ryback can't cut a promo.

JUSTICE!

DA SHIELD

lol foley got out of dodge just in time

He already knows how it feels Cole.

That is why he is a heel now.

Ryback and the Shield all hug..brilliant

So wanna see 'em rush Cena.

I wonder if Mick Foley remembers Dean Ambrose from somewhere?

or not

Well that sucked.

Soooo.....Taker/Kane/Bryan can't stop The Shield but Cena can by himself.

That ending segment was just as bad/odd as it sounded from the spoilers earlier.

Raw was pretty good though.

Ryback still has saved Cena like 3 more times than Cena with the Shield.

Hodor!

I think the steel chair had a little to do with it...

The Shield just wrestled a match against The Undertaker, Kane and Daniel Bryan -- they're bound to not be at full strength.

Yep.

Otherwise good show.

And that.

They should have just closed the show with the 6-Man. Have Ryback and Cena brawl earlier in the night and Ryback get the best of Cena, so that there is at least some idea in the fans' mind that the WWE Title could change hands at Extreme Rules.

Undertaker is more powerful than a steel chair.

Ryback was right to call that bastard Super Cena.

Agreed.

Blatantly obvious question that hasn't been brought up yet... Why the fuck is The Shield attacking these guys still!?!?

Can we officially throw the "fixing injustices" thing in as the newest example of WWE trying to do something interesting but ultimately having no idea where to go with it?

I was thinking the same thing. They should have been solely focused on their actual opponents. They were going after the big dogs who only work part-time while everyone else scraps away each week. Or maybe they were just going after big stars. There's no "justice" in that, though. And I do get that The Shield are heels and thus can be liars, but it just seems like they would have more of a "reason" for attacking The Undertaker and Triple H.

Cause these people being pushed even though the fans boo them is an injustice!

Nah no idea. Spot on assessment Fan.

I genuinely thought for a second that if there's ever a point where they feel the need to have The Shield explain this, that would be their explanation. lol

After they become WWE Tag Team Champions at Extreme Rules, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing them attack the loser of the Steel Cage Match (most likely Triple H) and really bust them up inside the cage.

If they ever did need to explain the John Cena injustice, they could go after him talking about his redemption story despite being an eleven-time WWE Champion.

I remember when they first started, it seemed like everyone (including myself) was worried that they were gonna be just another generic "here to make an impact" stable. Then they had the "fixing injustices" thing and the "are they working for Punk/Heyman?" thing and it seemed like maybe WWE was thinking long-term. Doesn't seem to be the case now.

Actually, back when they started, they randomly attacked Santino and Zack Ryder on an episode of Superstars which kinda went against the whole "fixing injustices" thing from the get-go.

Sounded pretty painful to me.

Had to curse and pander to smarks with "super cena" just to get a reaction.

You sound like Bizarro Gertner.

Eh, RAW was mediocre.

They went into detail in regards to their reason for going after the Undertaker tonight.

Yeah because they're really going to pull out all the stops for a taped show where the spoilers were available earlier in the day.

What about Cena and Ryback?

If the show wasn't dull the spoilers would have helped them get viewers who would still want to see the show irregardless.

They've already said why they attack Cena it's because he get unlimited title shots when he wasnt champion. Ryback was probably a red herring so when they allign with him it's a bigger shock.

Or they feel they are above heel or face status ala the Nexus.

The NXT ConNeXTion should be their real name

I was half-expecting the 6-man tag match to just be a way to introduce the Undertaker as the man leading the Shield. I'm not sure why, it just felt that way.

It sucked last week as well. And making a half-asssed show just because it's not live is an understandable reason but it's still a foolish short cut. Overseas RAW deserves a good show as much as any other "big city".

They got HBK/Cena II. They need to just shut the fuck up, drink their tea, and enjoy what they get.

Wasn't a terrible promo, but certainly nothing to start praising his mic skills over.
