Miami, the new Canada of the WWE...

Well, somehow Daniel Bryan is more over than ever as a result of getting squashed.

Wrestling is a funny game.

Please, please, please, don't squander this chance to do something special with him WWE.

I'd say it's one of the best booking decisions ever, if I didn't think it was a complete accident.

 

[WYD]

I have been hearing that the result was indeed done on purpose with the end game being a Bryan face turn. Apparently it was clear that the crowd was against Sheamus at mania so they went with the quick squash.

:lol:

That's spin from WWE apologists, don't buy into that nonsense. These writers couldn't book glass in a pet shop and I'm supposed to believe that they leveled us like this? It's not consistent with the rest of their horrible booking.

 

[nöyd]

no face turn from bryan on smackdown, kicks AJ to the curb, blames her for his WM loss, and sees the YES chants as fans mocking him, not cheering him

So Awsome, even got a f**k you Cena chant as a bonus.

 

[afinalsin666]

So badly want Bryan to get drafted to RAW and feud with Punk. Would be perfect with how over he is right now.

 

[pennywisealfie]

wow, shit raw. CM Punk has become a little boring, f**k wwe for making that happen.

3 stooges were so lame. loved how they got booed.

Zach Ryder is a jobber again :S

no Daniel Bryan at all!

 

[Big Pete]

Yep, Raw was average away from the opening segment.

Just need to watch that, and you haven't missed anything.

 

[Valheru]

Haven’t watched RAW yet but I have read more positive reviews than what you lads are saying. Apparently the Jericho/Punk stuff was quite good as well?

 

[Big Pete]

There's dividing opinions on it.

Personally I thought it touched on everything that's already been established and hurt Punk's 'cool' character by having him whinge about Jericho attacking his family and straight edge lifestyle. I didn't think the fans were into it at all largely because the straight edge lifestyle had been portrayed negatively for so long that it was difficult for them to pull a 180 in the space of a promo.

Jericho was good again and saved the segment but it wasn't anything too big IMO.

Don't take my word for it though, watch it and judge for yourself.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Bring back the Straight Edge Society!

Or at least Luke Gallows...

 

[Big Pete]

He's too busy shooting a doco with Colt Cabana and Domino.

 

[DB]

Johnny should book Punk vs Jericho at Extreme Rules for the title in a Drinking Contest ..... probably the biggest dickiest move ever.

[Big Pete]

Standard episode.

Interesting move to put Tensai over Cena this early. It's the right move because fans couldn't care less about a guy who beat Alex Riley or Yoshi Tatsu but a win over Cena is legitimate and it positions Cena as an underdog against Brock at Extreme Rules.

With that said, I don't know whether Tensai will last. I don't think he'll be able to work as stiff in the WWE, be able to use the same arsenal of moves or will stand out as much as he did in New Japan. If it was up to me, I'd get him out of that ridiculous outfit, cut the myst shtick and have him incorporate more Puro moves into his repertoire. Nothing too dangerous, he can save those moves for special occasions, but moves that make him stand out from the Ezekiel Jackons and Great Kahli's of the world.

 

[WYD]

Good Raw with a good crowd, lots of YES chants and DB got a big reaction so I was pleased.

The Tensai gimmick f**king sucks, he's WHITE! This really pisses me off, the WWE won't use Japanese wrestlers but they'll have a Gaijin pretend to be one.

I was a fan of Giant Bernard in Japan. Obviously more suited to strong style but he has a wide movelist for a big man and they're not letting him use them.

[Big Pete]

Tensai isn't supposed to be Japanese.

He's an American wrestler who dominated Japan. I can see how the outfit may cause confusion though.

 

[WYD]

Why's he cutting a promo in Japanese then?

 

[Big Pete]

He's speaking English in those same promos as well. I'd say it's to acknowledge where he's coming from. Or most likely, the writers don't know what's going on so they're trying to play it both ways.

I don't think his timing could be any worse what with Lesnar coming in at all. Lesnar has the spot he should have, the outsider who's brought back by Lauranaitis to dominate the competition. It'd make some sense too, given Ace's puro background and the potential to bring in more puro guys to give Lauranaitis a proper stable.

 

[WYD]

Please, he's a giant weeaboo. He doesn't need to act like that to put over the fact his been a big drawn in Japan.

Lesnar coming back isn't ideal for Matt Bloom but it's good for the show. There's going to be a lot of big debutantes this year so I understand the concern of being lost in the shuffle. But Bloom was on big money in Japan, so he's coming back to work with the main and semi-main eventers.
