If you couldn't tell he was going to win after how much they shoved "well it's OBVIOUS Cena's gonna win" down our throats, you don't know the WWE very well. Just like Brock Lesnar. EVERYONE thought he was gonna win because, well...he's Brock Lesnar. And he was brought back after 8 years. Why would they bring him back after 8 years just to lose, right? That's the way it works. Every time you think something is set in stone, they flip it around and do the exact opposite of what you think's gonna happen.

Big Show is probably turning heel now, since it looks like Christian is now a face. Overall, a pretty good PPV. Punk vs Bryan was EXCELLENT, and the fatal 4 way plus the tag team championship were awesome. Looking forward to how the story is gonna progress now.

The thing is with certain matches I can see how they will play out. For example:
- I knew that Lesnar was going to lose (and he did) because he was the "ultimate bad guy" when he was brought back (attacks on Cena, hefty demands from Laryngitis, not giving a damn about anyone other than himself, etc.).
- I knew that The Rock was going to win because of the amount of fan support he has, plus the fact that it was set in his home town of Miami.
- I knew that the Undertaker would win because of the 19/20-0 score "End of an Era", plus it's the Undertaker, you'd have to unload an entire shotgun into him to bring him down.
- And quite a few other matches too.



Besides all of that, I agree it was a great PPV.

I'm just interested to see when Clownshoes will eventually get fired.

[Ryda King]

I'm sure Triple H will now get involved and all that. We'll see how it plays out tomorrow.

PPV thoughts:

-The two big title matches, WWE and Heavyweight, were awesome.
-The Cena/Johnny Ace match was pretty funny but also a massive anticlimax.

Pretty disappointed with OTL. We could use some new champions by now, and I'm sick and tired of WWE constantly forming tag teams by having two random people win the title then break up as soon as they lose it.
Just give Swaggler the goddamn titles already, and let them compete with some real teams. What's wrong with Primo & Epico? Or the Usos? Even Hunico and Camacho would do. Now, I realize there aren't really any other teams besides them, but there's nothing wrong with forming teams. Just don't give them the title immediately. I mean, there are plenty of good pairs: Wade Barrett or Daniel Bryan and William Regal, ADR and RR (he ought to actually wrestle eventually), Ezekiel Jackson, Otunga, and Mark Henry (perhaps a new Nation of Domination?), or even Ryback and Mason Ryan.
Let's face it, the combinations are endless. So why not use some of them?

[Ryda King]

If I was gonna pick tag team champs that are actually a team, I'd pick The Uso's. They got the skill and talent and, just like a lot of other stars, are completely underused and underappreciated.

By the way, I think it's hilarious how Randy Porkin The Anus Predator was used as the poster boy for OTL and yet he barely was in the damn thing. And he really didn't do much of anything. Sheamus still being the WHC is ridiculous. Give it to Jericho or Del Rio. Better yet, give Jericho the title so him and Punk can reignite their feud and it'll be champ vs champ.

As for Johnny, I don't even care if he's still GM. I got to see him get his ass kicked and that's all I really wanted. He got garbage dumped on him, he got clotheslined, he got a fire extinguisher to the face, he got water down his crotch (lmao), and got a chair to the face.

After catching up with Over The Limit and Raw, I was half expecting the heel turn from Big Show, although they could've scripted it better during Raw whereby Cena could have called Big Show a traitor as opposed to a sell out, that would've been better.

However the Bryan v Punk match was a good one, the fatal four way was not bad, could've been a bit smoother at the end. The other matches were all a bit bland really, plus I think Christian is a bit Vanilla, and they are trying to push Ryback further up the card, but he needs a good feud to get him going.

But getting back to the Laurens-Cystitis thing, I think they'll probably be keeping this one going now until either No Way Out or even, if we can survive the drivel of it until then, the 1,000 episode.

Still I hope it's sorted out soon, as it's not really well executed and it seems there s no line between Raw and Smackdown anymore and that's making things bland as well. Plus where the fudge has Batista gone.

I strongly agree with both of these statements.

[AlexGTAGamer]

This is the reason why I love Lumberjack matches, because they nearly always end up in a large brawl, absolute chaos.

And was I the only one who thought that Laryngitis looked like an OAP (Old Age Pensioner) on that scooter of his? He's got the right voice and mentality, all he needs now is a lot less hair and some wrinkles, and then there you have it - OAP Laryngitis.

People Power? For him now it's a lot more like Scooter Power.

[Ryda King]

Big Show turning heel is better imo. He's a 7 foot nearly 500 pound giant and he's being all nice, giving his hat to kids and smiling all the time. It'll be nice to see a raging wrecking ball like he used to be. Enough of this "gentle giant" bullshlt. Be mean for once.

If there is one "wrestler" I cannot stand more than the overbooked and annoying f*ckface Randy Orton, it's Brodus Clay. He doesn't even wrestle! He just does the exact same crap every. Single. Match. I seriously can't believe they'd give that jackass the spotlight instead of people who work their ass off in that ring (like Dolph Ziggler). He dances and shows off more than he wrestles. And The Miz is now a borderline jobber.

By the way, why was Tensai's "Lord" removed and he's now sans robe/helmet?

[Gareth Croke]

Just been thinking about the whole Big Show/Cena/Laurens-Cystitis thing. The writers have either ballsed up or they've done this on purpose for later.

But on the Monday before Over the Limit, the one where Big Show was fired, the stipulation was read that any superstar who got involved in the match would be terminated. Then at Over The Limit, Big Show got involved, so we thought well he's not staff anymore, but on Monday just gone, after Over The Limit, he stated that he re-signed on the Saturday which was BEFORE Over The Limit, so technically he's a Superstar again... so shouldn't he be fired, as he got involved.

Or have the writers ballsed up.

This is the WWE we're talking about. Hardly renowned for their clever writing and continuity. Anonymous Raw GM anyone?

Just noticed on a blog site about WWE, that it's been announced that the Saturday agreement was only verbal and the written contract was done on Monday. This was announced after someone on Twitter spotted this as well.

Nice one WWE

Also been reading that the new 3-hour format for Raw isn't going down well in all quarters, both with fans and production staff within WWE.

To be honest I like WWE, but at the moment it's making my foot itch with roughness of the edges surrounding the story lines and the way divisions within the company are being run.

[JF-Mir2]

Let's try to have a bit of fun. Caption this:



Mine would be: "Girls, calm down, you can both have me all night."

[Ryda King]

You know it is pretty crazy that some of the wrestlers I used to watch when I was like 7 are still in the WWE today. Like Kane and Triple H and The Big Show and Rey Mysterio. Well, Mysterio's out on suspension but he's coming back. You gotta admire that kind of dedication. Because they could've been like The Rock and just left as soon as bigger paychecks started flying their way. And that's one of the reasons I lost respect for The Rock and DIDN'T want him to win at Wrestlemania. You don't just leave the place that got you where you are now.

But whatever. So I guess Big Show is gonna f*ck Cena up at NWO. WWE is getting ridiculous with these PPVs like every 3 weeks. And they're like $44.99 every time too.

[King Mystery]

Chris Jericho got suspended for thirty f*cking days just for kicking a Brazilian flag. In character, might I add. f*cking bullsh*t.

[JF-Mir2]

But isn't he going on a trip for his band or something?

EDIT: Nevermind, just read this.

Ahh wrestling. Quit watching about 2 or so years ago after Edge left since he was my all time favorite. Miss the good old 90's with my favorites; Undertaker, Edge, Y2J, HHH, The Rock, DX, The Hardy Boyz, Rob Van Dam, SCSA, etc..

Times have really changed and those guys will be gone soon. It's sad really

[Ryda King]

Lmao, suspended for 30 days and nearly ARRESTED for kicking a flag AS THE VILLAIN? Stick up your ass much, Brazil?

@Killer.Khan
Sad but true. I miss those days.

Here's a classic match. Featuring Jeff's famous ladder dive onto Edge. Crazy f*cker.



Also Kane lost and Yoshi is still jobber. What a goddamn surprise.
