A lot of people seemed to dislike the last segment on raw, but I thought it ruled. Vince is still the man, Punk was great, Ryback got a massive pop (not really a fan, but the pop he got was awesome), and Punk totally slugged a fan when he was in the crowd. Awesome stuff.

Ryback needs a voice. That's his problem. At least Goldberg had some mic time.

I like Ryback.

T-RICH49 · 10-08-2012, 11:24 PM

have to admit I'm stunned at how fast the Ryback push is happening.figured they'd start him out winning the US Title first before putting him into a program with Punk

Vikings4ever · 10-08-2012, 11:44 PM

My guess is we have a triple threat at the PPV, Ryback delivers a finisher to Cena, then gets thrown out of the ring by Punk, who pins Cena.

No he didnt. He didnt say **** until like 1999, long after he had won the title. The extent of his mic time was "Youre next!", if that. Goldberg was actually considerably less over once he started talking a lot, though I dont think the two were necessarily connected.

Sacramento crowd was great and great crowds help with the overal quality of the show. They did good. RAW was pretty solid overall as well.

RAW Sheamus is fun to watch, SD Sheamus blows. Barrett/Sheamus match was good until the giant red diaper man came out to ruin things. I like that they are actually putting emphasis and effort on Tag Teams.

Kane/Dbry continue to steal the show. So much fun to watch....just sucks that this sort of undercuts the Prime Time PLayers(who I like a lot) and wish they were tag team champs, but with Kane/Dbry they need to strike while the iron is hot. I expect Prime Time players to interfere with the Tag Team finals and cost ReyCara their match vs Rhodes Scholars, to set up another nice little tag team feud between those 2 teams.

and yeah, Punk effed up at the end there. He hit the wrong fan. It was the dude behind sunglasses guy who was shoving Punk, and then when Punk decked the wrong guy, you see the douchebag(who did hit Punk) curl up and run back to avoid Punk's wrath. Punk did this right on TV and RIGHT IN FRONT OF MCMAHON who was reportedly pissed off that night, as evidenced by him shitcanning Gerwitz as RAW head writer the moment he showed up that day. I hope Punk isn't punished for this/drops his title soon. He'll need to basically find that fan and give him some free merchandise/sign some stuff I assume. He apparently was filing a police report

with that said, here's this

I enjoyed it.

BloodBrother · 10-09-2012, 09:06 AM

I enjoyed it to, and it was helped a TON by the crowd going nuts over the whole thing

I'll always be a fan of crazy McMahon.

Splat · 10-09-2012, 09:08 AM

Also DB saying Kane looked like someone slapped him in the face with a Fruit Roll-Up had me rolling.

georgiafan · 10-09-2012, 09:41 AM

I also like the PTP's and was hoping they would win and go on to win the tag titles. Still its good to see the whole division getting a push.

Over the last month since Rybac has started getting a bigger push he seems to really be getting over with the fans. If they put him in a fued with a good heel they could really have something.

Punk is going to have to do a hell of a lot more than give that guy some merchandise.

Also, I hate Rybak. At least Goldberg was believable as a physically dominant freak. Rybak couldn't even lift Tensai over his head after multiple tries. And, needless to say, his gimmick is stupid and unoriginal.

He did it on SD just a few days before. Tensai has been getting heat for sandbagging Ryback on Raw. That said I'm not a Ryback fan either.

BloodBrother · 10-11-2012, 02:34 PM

His lariat looks way more devastating as a finisher anyway. He should have jsut been using that from the start to finish off his opponents

If you had any doubt WWE was not going to go with The Rock vs. CM Punk for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble, you can all but put them away. Rock posted the following on Twitter:

@WWE Champion @CMPunk I know where to find you Phillip. And I will.. #Rumble2013

Friggin awesome PPV so far I say.

Nah, I'd say that was still a great show. Even if you don't like the outcome, you can't deny the quality of the Aries/Hardy match. Bound for Glory had three matches hovering around the **** mark. Joe/Magnus was a little short but still very good, and the rest was pretty solid and inoffensive.

Only thing that was annoying was Hogan taking out the Aces and Eights with one punch each. I'm used to it by now, but still. Why wasn't he in the tag match if he could easily dispose of them like that?

I liked Joe/Magnus, (missed RVD/Zema), Storm/Roode, and Joey Ryan/Al Snow up until Matt Morgan jumped the rail. After that, the show was so hit and miss. I thought Kazarian almost killed himself on that dragonrana, the Aces and 8s thing had an awful payoff for a storyline that had been going on for so long that it was already tired. Plus, it just put Hogan over even more.

I don't get why they had to turn Aries heel when he was the reason people like me even started watching Impact. Honestly, I think it's keeping up with the joneses since WWE turned Punk. Giving Hardy the belt is the TNA equivalent of when WWE just gives up and gives Cena the belt, except TNA's Cena has a drug problem and wears facepaint.

If I look at this PPV in a nonobjective perspective it was great. I can't though. Screw Hogan, Hardy, and AJ Styles (while we're at it).

Devon as the reveal was also a big giant yawn.

I don't think Devon is the guy.IMO Devon's the middle man for the real leader who's not ready to reveal himself yet. (IMO the real leader is Jeff Jarrett)

I think Devon's a great heel (beats the hell out of him as a face) and it's a better option than Bischoff, Sting, Hogan, or others, but I'll agree. I was completely shocked though, so they did technically swerve the **** out of me.

Reverend Devon. He is the spiritual leader of a motorcycle gang lol.
