Remember I will be at Raw live in Hartford, CT & will be posting on the official Pulse Wrestling Twitter account, @pulsewrestling. Be sure to follow along for news, reactions & photos.
- I just can’t take Alberto Del Rio as threat. What has he done before or after his injury? One lackluster title run that did NOTHING for him. His offense s weak and still too “lucha”, holding no realism or creditability for a mainly American audience. And he’s still a one note promo. Although Ricardo looked awesome.
- Sheamus & Dolph Ziggler are going to benefit immensely.
- A Great Khali tap out should mean something. It doesn’t.
- Brodus Clay fits better on SmackDown although if this means they are moving Ryback to Raw, I’m afraid Ryback may get lost in the shuffle.
- Rumors are that WWE may reveal a new set at the 1000 episode of Raw. I’ll be upset I missed it but damn does it need a change!
- Like the new look for Sin Cara. Hate the lighting & that Drew McIntyre is Cara’s next jobber.
- Smart move advertising Ryback coming up. It makes his matches feel like events.
- Christian vs Dolph Ziggler? Give Ziggler a “cheap” win & suddenly you’ll have a heel on the rise for the summer & potential Money In The Bank winner.
- At least they’re addressing the sudden Christian babyface turn.
- Hey Ziggler without Vickie! Please be a permanent thing.
- How the hell was Dolph able to make that Rocker Dropper work? Damn that was athletic.
- Good match but still think they could have worked something out where Ziggler came out looking strong. SmackDown & WWE for that matter needs the heel Ziggler.
- I could have done without having to see the ENTIRE Raw “main event” again.
- I guess there was at least a point for bringing out Hornswoggle.
- Like the pin cover for Sandow. Could have done without the Lanny Poffo cartwheel.
- Kane’s character & in-ring work aren’t doing anything for me but the AJ twist is intriguing.
- Really like what they’re doing with Antonio Cesaro. They’re allowing him be different, both with his move set & mannerisms.
- Formulaic big man match, which is pretty much all Kane can work at his age.
- This AJ storyline is something completely out of left field but they haven’t done something like this in a long time & it’s interesting to watch. Just hope there’s a payoff at some point.
I dont think they’ve done a real pscyho storyline since Mickie James and that was good as well. AJ, isnt only easy on the eyes, but shes playing her role well.
The thing is even though, the roster may seem thin right now, there are a lot of guys they can push. I mean you have Ryback, Brodus Clay, Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes, Sandow, Cesaro. I dont think Ryback will get lost in the shuffle because a) there is no shuffle because everyone seems hurt and b) theres really no brand extension so it doesnt really matter. I mean having Clay on Smackdown because they are keeping him away from Big Show makes sense but the Raw/Smackdown shows have been a 1 show roster, since the whole “Supershow” announcement that does it really matter now if your on Raw or Smackdown?
