It would have been more sensible to just have the match be announced via a graphic on Smackdown, or just happen randomly as an extra championship match (!!!!!), than that idiotic segment leading up to it.

x100 at the first 15 minutes of Raw.
Just give me a 2 hour Punk-Jericho promo. Couldn't be half as bad as the crap they'll show tonight. |

This cena shit is the worst ever. I want Kane back.

Talk about screwing over the Royal Rumble. They're doing everything they can to **** up this angle. Watch them drop Jericho altogether. |

On that note, Bryan vs. Sheamus was the dark match before last year's Mania.... Crazy the difference a year makes. DAMN. |

Taker-HHH 3 in Hell in a Cell? Didn't see that coming. I'm actually excited for it, cause they'll probably (hopefully) break out the weapons & bloodguts.
And I loved how HHH didn't mind being called a coward, but **** you if you call him 2nd best to HBK (which he is). ... Now Cena's stealing the lines that Punk pwned him with last summer to crap all over The Rock. FU, Cena. And Punk needs to be a commentator when he's done wrestling (which, God willing, will be a long long long time from now). This is amazing. Last edited by 58kcfan89; 02-20-2012 at 09:58 PM.. |

The way Barrett reacted it sounded like it was no faking, no act.

I think Ziggler was just selling, but Wade appeared to break his arm. You could see his reaction immediately. And then after the match, right when Jericho hit the floor after the stare-down, the first thing he did was ask a ref "what happened to wade?"
The end didn't work quite as well as it should have, Cody seemed to have trouble getting Slow out, but that was a pretty fun battle royal. For HHH/Taker, if I'm going to be stuck watching them again, I like Hell in a Cell better than Last Man Standing, which had been the rumor. I hated the Cena stuff. They sound on first glance like they're trying to turn the "universe" on the Rock. Like they forgot that Mania is in Miami. Stupid. But maybe that's how they'll heel up Cena, by having him talk trash to the more popular face. Turn him without turning him. Rock's going to slaughter him on the mic next week. I also think it would be a lot better if Cena would just drop the stupid comedy and make it serious and personal. It was kind of interesting how he seemed to be reverting back a few years to the thug stuff. Ah well, I'm actually going to watch Smackdown tomorrow night, for Punk and Danielson. I can't believe they're using that match as the big selling point for the show. But I love that they are. |

While Cena made some good points, I do think this is the only way they can make him the heel in his match with the Rock. As good as Cena is, his star was and may never be as bright as the Rock's. I remember a few years ago before the Rock all but left indefinitely (sans a Wrestlemania here and there) when they tried hard to make him a heel and the fans would not bite. I give him and the WWE credit for trying, but he was such a face by then that making him a heel was all but impossible.

One thing I forgot: I love the way the show was structured. Yeah, I hated the Cena shit at the beginning, and I hated the Cena shit near the end, but the reality is the focus of the show was the last few minutes. Which was CM Punk, Chris Jericho, and the WWE ****ing Championship. So for the first time in I can't remember how long, guys fighting for, among other things of course, the goddamn belt, which should be the biggest deal every week, closed the show. HHH and Taker got the middle of the show. Cena jerked the curtain. The champ and the new number 1 contender got the overrun. Exactly how it should be.
(I honestly thing that could do more for the company than anything else right now: making the titles meaningful again. Storylines are important, but it's so much easier to buy into things if people have real things to feud over. Just simple things, like "I'm better than you." You don't need Kane trying to get Cena to embrace Eve, I mean hate.) |
