Basically. Although I'm hoping for Ryan Dunn and Chris Benoit in a second chance saloon matchup.

That's quality booking.

Bring back handcuffed to Slaugher matches.

Save us Tajiri

A-Ry didn't get a reaction at all on Raw :joker:

I'm not sure anyone did. The crowd was killed about quater of an hour into the thing.

Christian R-Truth and Miz should just form a new stable and take over WWE

Job Squad 2011.

I'm lazy and find myself interesting so I'm just going to do a copy and paste job from another forum :



On Capitol Punishment :

I said it last night in the chat and I will repeat it here : This was the single worst PPV I have ever stayed up for to watch live. Not the worst show ever mind you but certainly one of the dullest. Even the 2004 Bash had a bit of blood and a big glass box of concrete.

It was just an obscenely underwhelming stopgap that served as a complete indictment of WWE's negatives these days. Namely lacklustre crowds, a cast of characters that are not going to set the world alight anytime soon, predictable and/or random booking that isin't going to stir much emotion and just this general, content with mundanity style of sports entertainment. They were the number one company in the world before they rolled into Washington and nothing has changed. And why should it. Keep a dull pace, set up shop in the arena, put on an underwhelming budget show and collect the money.

The future doesn't look bright barring a burst bubble of shit hitting the fan[s] that serves as an impetus for them to get their arse in gear and radically alter something about the position they currently inhabit. The opening match was solid, Rey and Punk pulled out a decent, let's-not-go-crazy-though decent match for no apparent reason and everything else ranged from the forgettable to the abysmal. And that includes the commentary. It's like every headset woe of the last year or two was collected and concentrated into this one night.

I was delighted when I had to switch stream and found myself right in SAP zone. Hugo and Carlos were the life of the party.



On Raw Power To The People :

To the best of my knowledge the arm wrestling epic was the first segment in WWE history to produce a 'this is stupid!' chant from the crowd. I had trouble working it out at first because I suspect the commentators were told to keep running their mouths to try and disguise it. It slaughtered the audience in much the same way as Zeke and Wade did a night before.

I agree with the thread consensus of 'fuck everyone and everything but CM Punk'. I could watch him stalk the stalls picking on people and doing his David Koresh shtick for the full two hours each week. The WWE is safe and stagnant right now and I'm dissapointed and kind of surprised that as of yet a big summer angle hasn't come into play. Especially surprising on the back of what in hindsight was a bloody decent 2010 [that produced no fruits in 2011 with regards to the new talent but that's another story].

Regardless of the outcome Punk's got me hooked for the Money In The Bank show. Not only is the lead in great and not only will we be getting two packed ladder matches but it's in Chicago - WrestleMania 22's building to be exact. The crowd I imagine will be unglued.

Bring it on.

glad i didnt stay up for the ppv so everywhere i look its getting bad reviews
wont even bother with raw..actually ill check out punks promo but thats it
save us y2j!!

I'm hearing this fantastic recurring idea on the internet about Punk taking the title then leaving leading to a big angle where he would buy tickets to sit in the crowd taunting Cena, show up in indie feds with the WWE title, sending postcards of himself on holidays to the commentators etc.

It will never happen but damn.

god that would be the most epic thing ever :laugh:

Have him dancing outside the Impact Zone

would like to see him make an appearance at ROH
they love him there

This weeks Impact [well last weeks in America, this weeks on Challenge] is surprisingly excellent. In fact it's the best wrestling TV I've seen all year.

Austin Aries, Jimmy Rave and Kid Kash came back, Jeff and Kurt had a parking lot brawl [the kinds in a circle of cars with jobbers cheering them on], they've already started a competetive points style tournament to see who goes to the Bound For Glory main event, Sting went apeshit and tore up Hogan's office and Steiner went on a rant about how he has nothing to do this week but 'I'm training anyway because I don't play guitar. I don't sugar dounut. I beat people up. That's what I do'.

Impact can be strong at times then they let themselves down at PPV's, then they can ahve great PPV's and **** TV...... I like rooting for them though, nice to see an underdog and all that jazz

As weak as it can be it seems to be a bit fresher since the rebrand. WWE technically have more people I'm interested in seeing but it's the same old and it doesn't even feel like a wrestling show anymore.

No I agree with you on WWE merging them, get rid of the Shyte stars to the C shows they have and bring back heat,,,

WWE will get better starting at MITB imo i can see it being the PPV of the year

ye Im intrigued to watch it now with the PUNK thing, its like Stu (I think) said, Punk will win and then someone will cash in..... my money is on Del Rio.

CM PUNK has announced he is leaving WWE.
Speculation has been rife for weeks that Punk's contract was expiring and that he was planning on taking a break from wrestling.

However, in recent weeks a series of wins and a high-profile push on TV had cast doubt over these claims.

But after winning an excellent triple-threat match on Raw this week to become the No1 contender for the WWE crown, the Straight Edge superstar grabbed the mic and told the world he will be leaving the company.

Punk revealed he will quit after the Money in the Bank PPV on July 17, where he will face John Cena for the WWE championship in Punk's hometown of Chicago.

The angle has echoes of one booked for Punk's departure from Ring of Honor, as did the following tweets he posted on his Twitter page shortly after Raw had aired.

He said: "I knew I was gone at the beginning of the year. I just woke up one day and I knew. That's the way I work a lot of the time.

"I think it's creepy too, but it's really helpful. I knew I'd be history by July.

"Come say goodbye on July 17th. I promise to go out with a bang. Trust me. XxX"

It is thought that Punk is following the line trodden by the likes of Chris Jericho and Big Show, who both stepped away from WWE for a time to recharge their batteries before returning.

There is already speculation that Punk could beat John Cena for the title on the PPV, only for the Money in the Bank winner to cash in immediately and win the belt from Punk before he goes.

Elsewhere on a largely uninspiring three hour "Power to the People" episode of Raw, the booking seemed to point towards a continuation of feuds between Cena and Truth, Miz and Alex Riley, and Randy Orton with Christian.

On a show where fans were allowed to vote for matches and stipulations, a number of surprising results occurred, such as Mason Ryan rather than Sin Cara being selected to face Evan Bourne, which WWE later explained was due to a glitch in the voting.

But the night belonged to Punk, for the news and for his tremendous match with Del Rio and Mysterio.

In contrary to the build up to Capitol Punishment, as good as R-Truth's push was, this revelation by Punk has raised our interest in Money in the Bank no end.

Really :shocked:

Punk goes = me no watchy.

If Punk goes then, surely Y2J has to come back ASAP

Don't think that will happen:(. Punk is going to be a big miss. That means we'll have everyone jobbing to Cena and Orton for the forseeable future.
