I was annoyed with it at first, and then I realized that this is freakin wrestling and I need to lighten up a bit. I have MMA for the serious stuff.
If Cena comes out smiling again next week then it will be a total waste.

It was freaking awesome!! That is what WWE needs more of.
Wonder if Hornswoggle got burned up, though?

I rally thought they were going to have Cena and Ryder make out at the end. They were just that close to each other.

I bet there was least a hundred or so people immediately going to their DeviantArt page and working on their newest masterpiece, Long John in Long Island.

Agreed, this is wrestling. You know, Hulk Ups are bulls***. Taker Sit Ups (And well, Taker himself and his whole deal) is bulls***. Kane is bulls***. Original Mankind character being a monster was bulls***. But it's satisfying as hell. Exactly. Realism is highly overrated. It was stuff like what happened tonight and that above that made wrestling: I love the soap opera stuff and the supernatural stuff. THAT'S why you watch it! NOW, Cena needs to take it SERIOUSLY and sell some damn fear next week. That's what's making it work! Cena isn't joking about Kane and has been selling fear since it started (the gulp two weeks ago, Kane leaving him lying last week). Cena actually has a challenge; something to take seriously and something to be scared about, and I love it!

Cheesy wrestlecrap is the reason I watch this. It was...amazing. Cena and Ryder work legitimately great together. The overpowered mentor. The young rookie out to prove himself. FIGHTING AGAINST FORCES OF DARKNESS AND HATRED! So what you're saying is that Zack is Domon and Cena is Master Asia?

Am I the only one who was getting TNA "Abyss dangerous pit" vibes from it at first? I thought we were almost getting a remake.

I know the stunt seemed awfully cheesy to some, but I liked it because I have no idea how they prepared the explosion and whatnot. Seems like a stunt that's legit dangerous if everything doesn't go right. A little bit of real-life risk can shake the silly out of anything.

It was awesome campiness, and it's why I watch wrestling.

If he'd just yelled "NOT WITHOUT MY WIIIIIIFE" as he lunged for Ryder, it would have been the greatest Raw ever.

sometimes it's cool when they come out of or down into the ring mat. this time it was a mixture of both. maybe because of the self aware status of wrestling at the moment. other times it's just lame and embarrassing or a funny trainwreck like what happened with Flair and Co. getting knocked down into the hole in the ring by Abyssamania and Hulkamania at some TNA ppv back in 2010

I think Ryder is becoming the Brutus Beefcake to Cena's Hulk Hogan. Interpret that how you wish.

I can't be the only one that chuckled when they made the comment about the hole being the "abyss". I really wanted Flair to show up out of nowhere and fall in.

Kinda wanted to see Hornswoggle and the other dwarves come out and be pissed off that their world was aflame.
