My favorite part in absolutely all of this is JUST how hard the WWE is working the IWC. We got worked like a f***in' government mule last night and it resulted in one of the best PPV's of the 00's. Now, they're leading all of us, like cattle, right down a road we're ALL too familiar with. When we get a different, probably awesome result, we're gonna lose our shit.

Would have been more fun to delay this until next week and tease Cena going to TNA. Between that and the Punk situation it would really sold the idea that Vince lost it and needed to be removed from power.
As is, not bad, I'm still interested in where this goes. With Punk gone/AWOL it was inevitable that some of the heat would be lost. He needs to be gone to sell the story if nothing else.

I'm entirely fine with this. It wasn't what was expected, of course, but they still have places to go after this. It's not like this whole thing just hit a big dead end.

I'm pretty sure the tourney is going in the garbage can. Now I see why they did a tourney, otherwise Vince would have had to come out and interrupt the end of a battle royal, which would be pretty bizarre

That was the best episode of Raw I've ever seen. Punk shoot, anyone? Great MOMENT, sure, but as far as a full episode I thought this one was better. And I'm dead serious. I know it's confusing to find someone on here who actually still really ENJOYS wrestling but I assure you people like me do exist. And I cracked up at whoever said they were normally a glass is half-full kind of wrestling fan. On here? You sir are an incredibly rare species if that is the case.

Cena: "So am I the WWE Champ again?" Trips: "Sure. Here ya go." (hands Cena the spinner belt) Miz and Mysterio: "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUU..." (cut to outside of the arena with organ music) A hearty LOL from me. Well done sir!

If HHH plays the evil heel owner role, then it's pointless.
If however this is a means of legitimately phasing out Vince and HHH becoming a common sense rational owner character, who will seriously address some of the issues the company has (mid-card marginalisation, a joke of a women's division, an almost non-existent tag division etc), then that's great.

Um, no? I as a fan have given them a chance and they dropped the ball again. So I'm just going to stop watching again until something that's actually original, exciting, and unique happens. See you next Monday ;D The ratings trajectory shows that hes likely serious.

Y'know, I hope that next week Trips throws out something like, "Yeah, I was the GM. Moving on..." "And also The Nexus limo driver, not that anybody remembers or cares, but anyway..." "...And you remember that woman in high heels that stepped out of the car, only for The Rock to come out to the ring instead? That was me, too, somehow..."

"BTW guys, I was also behind GTV, knocking Edge out at No Way Out 2003 and I was Heidenreich's Little Johnny. Also, I moved the suitcase out of the way so Austin couldn't get it at King of the Ring '99, but decided to let Bossman take credit for it because he looked so bored and lonely."

Was there any point to that divas match? Given the stare she gave it seemed to set up Beth as Kelly's next challenger, but chances are nothing will actually come of it.

Hopefully, Teddy Long gets fired next.
"Not so fast playa, I'm booking you in a match against da undatahka!"
"Teddy, really, have you seen those pictures in the internet? He ain't going out in public looking like that."

Was there any point to that divas match? Me looking at Kaitlyn, same as every other multi-diva match.
