What authority does Cena even have to bring them back? Didn't Vince make the stipulation??

I love how modern WWE programming is specials on the Network before and after Raw making fun of WCW for all the stupid mistakes they made, then Raw where they just repeat each and every one of said mistakes. Those who fail to learn from history and all that.

I really, really hope they don't take Bryan out. God that would be such a kick in the gut.

Everyone has already gone through most of my thoughts. I'll only add one more: Where the f*** is Sting? I swear his whole reason for debuting was to stop the Authority for good. And yet, when he's most needed to keep them away, he's nowhere to be seen. Hell of a "Vigilante" he is. It took the dude over thirteen years to find a WWE show and for most of that he wound up in a shitty imitator. You really think he's rushing to start the search all over again?

When these f***ing f***heads go away (WrestleMania), I hope they go away for good.

What authority does Cena even have to bring them back? Didn't Vince make the stipulation?? Vince then said that only Cena can bring them back. If this is just to bring them back to setup whatever WrestleMania match they wanted to do for Triple H and then they're done. I don't like it, but whatever. If this is going to keep them until the end of time because "booking without a heel authority figure" is hard. Then I hope Seth Rollins gives the entire WWE upper management briefcase shots to the gut.

Well, I actually really appreciated tonight's Raw. I watched Raw for the first time since May. I cannot tell you how much I am glad that they let me know that I can go ahead and go on another sabbatical.

Might catch the Bryan promo, sounds like it was good with a hot crowd.

Is it possible for WWE to make depression worse? I think it just did for me.

I truly cannot even begin to express how over the Heel Authority Figure concept I am, particularly HHH and Steph, who spend a third of every promo being passive-aggressively meta towards their own fanbase and chiding them for liking the wrong people. Joy. I'm soooo happy. You have no idea guys. Ugh. I bet next week they revoke Bryan's Rumble entry just to really rub it in. I mean, that's something they'll probably have to address. And that's part of my problem with heel authority figures. If they have total power, why even allow enemies to get into a position to accomplish things you don't want them to? Have Reigns and Bryan fight each other for their jobs on the pre-show, give it a five minute time limit, and then declare them both fired when nobody wins? I'm not sure the fond memories of the Mr. McMahon character are even worth the seventeen years of heel authority figures we've had to endure as a result. Although I suppose we also have Bischoff to blame for its proliferation. Really, this is like WCW constantly spamming the NWO until people were sick to death of it. Then taking it away for a little while and bringing it right back, to even BIGGER groans and BIGGER plummeting viewership. Don't turn the Monday Night War into an ironic cautionary tale, Vince.

The only silver lining to come out this is that maybe we'll finally find out if John Cena can lift the damn Big Show or not.

The fact that they kept mentioning it in the weeks since hinted that there was probably going to be a return. Didn't think it was going to be before the end of the year, though.

That is absolutely diabolical. Is it wrong to kinda sorta want to see it just for the reaction? Just don't get mad when your house gets broken into during the rioting.
