Martial Law? Raw Anarchy?....Sign of new Era?

[Dave at the Movies]

Damn this has got to be the greatest idea WWE has had in years. I really hope they keep going with it. Who would have thought that RAW without an authority figure would be so awesome?

They should keep going with this anarchy thing. Tonight's segments of Punk/Edge, Cena/JBL, Kane/Noble, and the ending were awesome. For some reason I thought the ending with Cena coming out with Cryme Time was really really cool because those are just the type of guys that you would expect Cena to go get to help him.

I really hope this RAW is the sign of things to come. With the RAW Anarchy/Martial Law and the new Generation stable coming I think WWE is heading towards the right direction. Lets hope they can keep it up.

The funny thing is that there wasn't all that much wrestling but the storylines were so good I didn't even care.

Honestly I haven't seen a RAW this good in years. I think this just might be the sign of a new type of attitude era. It is too early to tell now but I'm really hoping for it.

[MGH]

When people have taken the littlest things from Raws and said "this is the beginning of the new era!!!" I always roll my eyes and say to myself "man .. I wish".

This week though? I could actually see it. I could see this being the first in a line of Raws going in a totally new direction. I certainly hope so, because for the first time in forever I'm excited for next week's Raw already.

[Lancers]

I enjoyed tonight's show. I don't watch RAW regularly, but when I read last night's PPV results, I had a feeling I had to watch tonight. And I'm glad I did. It felt like something from ten years ago. Kinda unexpected. I like wrestling when I can't predict what's happening next. Tonight was certainly unexpected to say the least for me.

God, here's hoping. If the ratings spike for the show, we may be in business.

This week's rating isn't really the one to watch. It's next week's. Will people hearing about what happened this week cause more to tune in?

I'm not taking any stock in this week's. It's the next 3-4 that will tell the story.

well yall remember the feeling we all got when jericho won the world title... "wow a smaller guy has won the title out of all those huge contenders" this is kind of what im feeling now. if you go through the roster on raw punk would be about 5th or 6th for world champ.

they got tons of possibilities...team priceless...jericho/hbk cena/jbl batista/punk

i dont mind if punk jobs out..but please not to jbl...he just sucks to me. to be a such a hardass in the ring...throwing hard punches and kicks..he is the first one to cover up his face...jiggle tits

[Hulkshi Tanahashi]

I want RAW to delf into a Mad Max/Road Warrior like wasteland with roaming gangs of bikers. JBL can lead the evil S&M gang since he is fond of tying people up in the showers. And, CM Punk can be Mad Max since he is now the World Heavyweight Champion.

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

Yeah, this show was fantastic from start to finish. Good new storylines (Punk as champion, JBL with a mercenary squad, hopefully Noble vs. Kane, Cena teaming with Cryme Tyme), tons of potential storylines (Batista has a reason to demand a title shot from Punk, Cena has reasons to go after Punk and JBL, Kofi may be getting involved in the amazing HBK/Jericho feud)...

Holy crap, this was just amazing stuff.

[ItsaSantino]

I'd love this idea. In order to survive with "martial law" going on, we could see a bunch of mini-alliances and stables

Rey and Batista
Jericho and Cade
JBL, Cody, and Ted Jr.
Cena and Cryme Tyme
Have Kane kind of lurking around destroying anyone that's left vulnerable
Possibly have Katie Lea playing devil's advocate and starting trouble for everyone

Please, WWE take full advantage of this opportunity

Only if every match takes place inside the THUNDERDOME

[Andrew is Good]

One part, like, I actually e-mailed the WWE my thoughts on the show because it was good, I forgot to put down another part I liked in there, besides the thing with Jamie Noble, Cena/Cryme Tyme, Jericho/Michaels/Kingston/Cade and Punk winning. That whole thing with JBL I really liked, with him getting a group of guys in an attempt to control Raw himself because of his wealth. I'm excited to see what they're going to do with that next week.

What I'd like to see is have JBL get a bunch of different lower card guys and have them be his security to attempt to control Raw. Maybe guys like Charlie Haas, Chuck Palumbo, and even the tag team champions as well. Because Raw, like, with so many new faces with belts, and guys like Noble, Kingston, Cade and others get some tv time, it looks like it's the beginning of something.

You know with them playing Punk up as a loner, Cena having Cryme Tyme to end the show and JBL with his security force, this could get real interesting.

I honestly can't remember what TNA called that match...they have so many match names...

...and if I recall, he went to use the Flux Capacitor but in turn he actually was sent back in time to WCW, where he would then feud with Glacier

[crossfadefan20]

lol

[Kevin Hamilton]

Tonight was a really good show, light years better than the last month or so. I'd welcome an end to the GM concept across the board. We've seen every possible permutation already, no need to reheat it again and again any longer.

[big nasty]

now they just need a new theme song

[Randy Barber 4-Life]

RAW is ANARCHY!!!
