Second this.

[WSG1]

The only thing i didnt like about the end was that they announced that DB was back in the arena. It killed the pop and surprise of it. Shouldve done it like Stone Cold did and just pop up out of nowhere with a chair and beat some asses only to fall short by the spear from reigns.

This. He's got the right guy in his corner to (Cena, Vince, Trips, Michaels, Taker)

That was HHH still acting like he was a good guy who had no ill intentions towards Bryan and they could all this work this out by talking. It made his actions at the end even more twisted and evil.

Now we (kayafabe) see he was just baiting Bryan to the ring on his terms rather than risk Bryan appearing out of the crowd with a chair and beating the ever living christ out of him.

I get the feeling Bryan will get plenty of Stone Cold like pops in the coming months doing just what you described.

Probably getting his pump. Gods gotta work out too

Yeah you gotta point there. We will probably see the angry DB next week unloading on everyone.

give Bryan "Cena's overcome the odds" gimmick=profit

[Jay89LDN]

Epic what they're doing with the shield right now.

they miseed out by failing to team with heyman/punk/lesnar earlier in the year but they've pretty much regained their pure awesomeness after what they done last night.

super cena gone and heel trips, something fresh for tv. just a shame lesnar is likely to be off tv for a while

[PSVita]

Did anyone see that sign during Del Rio talking?

[aman88]

This was probably a way for HHH to turn into the next Vince McMahon. Especially since Vince is old and may not want to appear at live shows even on a semi consistent basis anymore.

[CitizenVagrant]

Oh lol, he's just "Bitch I don't know what your problem is but I have a match."

Genius.

As for last night's Raw things that stood out:

Sandow v Rhodes: Pacing was a little off on this one despite some good exchanges. A lot of the action seemed really mundane - not saying they didn't have a good one the night before and were probably tired, but there were a lot of long pauses and the finish happened really slow. Just didn't seem to build to a finish with a good series of moves - it just kind of happened really slowly at the very end after a whip into the corner -> rollup? I like both of these guys but they looked like they were in slow motion last night.

Botch-Cara v Rio -> Promo: Lol, honestly a hilarious little spot. I wish they would have made Sin botch a lot harder to make it more obvious. ADR's face-like promo was kind of strange afterwards. And Ricardo comes out to introduce...RVD? If RVD is getting a shot out of the blue, let's just hope Sandow cashes in whenever that match happens.

RTruth v Wyatts: Honestly I don't see what the problem is - RTruth is looking pretty good for a guy in his 40s and can still move well. I mean how old is Chris Daniels? Either way, the Wyatt's gimmick was interesting enough at first, but it's quickly getting stale with me, as is the agonizingly long entrance. Bray was either staggering around intentionally or couldn't remember which direction the hardpoint camera was, not sure.

Funkadactyls / Usos / Divas: Yeah gotta sell the other show, I get it. Ugh. Usos have stepped their game up a little for sure - bigger spots and more intensity than they used to I will admit. The Divas division has sucked since Beth and Eve quit / left. I wish Kaitlyn looked like she did on NXT. I also wish Divas had more diverse gimmicks / characters. Tamina tried the "monster" diva thing and didn't last. Karma needs to come back, or they need to try something similar again. Too many Divas who can't wrestle worth a damn.

Punk and Heyman: Heyman is honestly one of the best talkers to pick up a WWE mic in a long time, and Punk is right up there. 100% gold every time they promo, and this was no different. Punk promo'd well, sold well, did everything great. Axel didn't look too bad either - but it all makes you wonder: 1. Will the IC title come into play if Axel stays involved with Punk, and 2: Who is Punk's next feud if not Axel? Punk getting invovled with the IC belt after being in the Main Event for so long...would this elevate the title or would it bring Punk's status down?

Trips: Best outcome for this is not for DBry to get help to take down a stable, but to do it alone and end up with a god-like push. I'm thinking DB fights alone for a few months, finally gets another title shot against Orton. Trips / Shield / etc comes out to ruin his pin, and none other but Cena returns to ensure DB wins the title.

[Younglifter16]

^^ RVDs shot isnt out of the blue, hes beaten ADR like twice on SD within the last month clean. Hence he earned a shot

[CitizenVagrant]

on SD

Probably why I didn't see it. I'm fine with RVD winning so long as Sandow successfully cashes in on him.
