WWE Chat Thread - The Truth shall set you free!

It makes sense doing that IMO. They know what the final part of the feud is and can build it up accordingly, whereas if you start lets say on next weeks RAW and don't have a PPV ending set you can rush the build up and screw it up.

Can't believe Invasion 2001 is a year and a week (nearly) old

Inaugural Brawl, Hardcore Championship & Bra & Panties

I agree with Vince..

Best part of Raw imo.

Punk's theme is actually pretty good. I like it more than his last one.

I've had Cult of Personality pretty much on repeat since yesterday after watching RAW.

40 odd minute interview with CM Punk, very recent was done after this week's RAW. http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=6808291

What a moment that was.

This fire burns > cult of personality. Get's the crowd going like anything. End of the day, it's my type of music more than the new one is.

I hate videos on youtube that are mirrored.

I love both, and Punk said himself in an interview that Cult of Personality fits him perfectly at this moment. You never know how they'll start the song for a match or him coming out normally anyway, as on Monday it was meant to be a surprise. They could edit the intro even more or add something to it. Can't wait til RAW next week though to see what happens, I predict Punk to open the show.

Open and close the show regularly, what a statement that would be from the wwe.

Sheamus. Fucking brilliant, I strongly suggest you watch Smackdown just for his bit.

Might watch it properly today for the first time in years.

Starts at 10, right?

Yes, obviously you are going to have to deal with Boreton, but Sheamus was booked well. Such a likeable fellow, I don't mean the gimmick, he just seems like a genuinely nice guy. Such a great smile too.

When did Christian get his WWE title back?

MITB, by disqualification.

Loving Zack Ryder's new role as assistant manager.

Beast.

Watched the first bit (promo with Hunter, Christian & Truth was pretty good) then turned over for Moyles & Dynamo.

Axe away

ET - Haven't seen it but it looks like a Sheamus face turn? Called it weeks ago

Watch it. Best bit of the night. I would say that as if there's a wrestler I adore above Punk, its Sheamus. But the crowd certainly liked him, and it was all about Sheamus being well..Sheamus. Never back down.

There gonna turn Sheamus babyface soon

You've got it wrong fella. He's the perfect foil for a tweener-face. Stone Cold-esque. Takes no shit, except now no heel tactics apart from crushing all who oppose him. Either way as long as he stays true to his celtic warrior gimmick, I'm all for it. He's no Cena, and that's who you just compared him too, the king of all baby faces.

He got one of the loudest chants of the night. Honestly I couldn't think of a way they would get him reactions like that, but with him being the one to step up to Mark Henry, it's seems to have worked. Will just have to see how the crowd reacts next week and see if the reaction continues to build.

Personally I would prefer if Ryder was getting air time in the ring but he's on TV now which makes me happy enough.

Usos should've won the tag titles IMO, then start a new tag division because The New Nexus is just shit and I love The Usos.

Also enjoyed the RAW rebound video and the way they edited CM Punk's part with the music, so so good!

Why exactly is McIntyre getting no tv time except for jobbing? Why did he get moved from smackdown, where he was a regular performer, to Raw only to become invisible? There's not much wrong with him. Do fucking something with him.

Put him in a tag team with Barrett and dominate the tag division (which will be rebuilt with other tag teams) along with manager Regal. UK > all

Yeah I reckon he should be moved back to Smackdown.

Why is it that Mark Henry always plays the angry black man? I remember during the build up, Micheal Cole was saying we've never seen Mark Henry in this state of mind before...er, yeah we have. He does it all the time.

As for Zack, tbh I think he's better off backstage with a few in ring appearances now and then. I say that because if he was to get ring time he would just be a jobber for the rest of his career.
