The Kane/AJ stuff is just fantastic. Great to have Heyman on tv as always.

I actually just got back from Raw. Not sure at which point it actually went off the air, but they did do "something special" for the hometown crowd. After Cena won the match, Big Show came down, attacked Cena, which lead to an AA by Cena. Show rolled out of the ring and started walking up the ramp (which Lauranitis was already walking up) Big Show stops, tears Big Johnnys shirt open and gives him a Flair chop. Then proceeds to walk up the ramp, until the crowd starts chanting for more. Show stops, goes back and issues another Flair chop. Crowd chants "One more" Show starts to motion as if he was going to do it, then shoos off the crowd and walks to the back. Lauranitis at this point is stumbling to the back through the curtain (where Del Rios cars come though) Cena gets on the mic and says "This is not how we end a show, especially on Long Island" Ryders music hits, and he chases down Johnny throwing him back into the ring, which leads to a Cena/Ryder lead Broski Boot. Triple H's music hits, he comes down to the ring saying that this is "inhumane, and that he [Lauranitis] is a person after all". He then continues saying that Big Show made his whole front red, and his back is well.. white. This leads to a Cena slap to the back followed by a Ryder slap to the back.. which is then followed by a pedigree. All 3 head up the ramp, and do one more "Woo Woo Woo". Johnny stumbles up the ramp gets to the curtain and then Vince shows up (no music) Brings Lauranitis out to "celebrate" one last time on the ramp. Lauranitis turns his back to Vince, and Vince kicks him square in the ass then walks to the back. Overall, the show kind of sucked, but it's always a lot of fun to go to a live show. Ryder did have one match.. on Superstars Seeing Foley was a nice change, Piper was a bit of a shock (though he was actually at last years Raw here as well).The Heyman/ Triple H thing was pretty good, I wish they'd stop having him come out to Lesnar's music (Come on, ECW theme!). I kind of wish that there were actually more promos. The Cyndi Lauper thing was horrible, as was the tag match between the Prime Time Playas and Primo/ Epico. You really can't build a tag division around teams that aren't all that interesting. The lack of Brodus Clay was a bit surprising, as was the lack of CM Punk and Vince (who doesn't love a Punk promo)

Whoops, I forgot about the Heyman/Triple H segment, which I did enjoy. Heyman was fantastic as always. Guess there was a single bright spot.

Where was Ryder?!?! RAW in LI and no Zack Ryder #AreYouSeriousBro?!?!
Pretty good RAW though, Ziggler is finally getting a big push it seems, Punk/Sheamus vs Bryan/Kane was a good opener, Foley was nice to see lets hope he's the new GM, and i'm happy to see People Power over I was never really a fan of him so lets hope he's really gone. In addition I liked the way they ended RAW with Cena giving 3 AA's on Big Johnny pumping the crowd up and David Otunga possibly turning face by walking out on Ace.
Only things I didn't like was having the Cyndi Lauper/Wendi Richter/Piper/Layla/Slater segment. I thought they could have had Ryder come out although it was pretty cool when Cyndi Lauper hit Slater with framed record, and it looked like he was bleeding a bit
Now time to watch Punk on Jimmy Fallon.

It's almost insulting that WWE wants me to forget about Zack Ryder. I don't know how they are doing that. I'm guessing you mean because he wasn't on Raw. Then I guess they want you to forget about Yoshi Tatsu as well. Ryder gets matches on Superstars and he has his youtube show. That's more than some of the other guys like Yoshi get. Well Yoshi Tatsu never really accomplished anything since ECW closed and he won the battle royal before Wrestlemania. Ryder on the other hand gets a great feud with Ziggler, and finally tops it off with a US title run. CM Punk and Daniel Bryan do that "future of the company" segment with him, and then he spends 2012 -losing the title in a throw away match to Jack Swagger of all people -getting the crap beat out of him by Kane, in a series of one sided "matches" and segments -looking weak to Eve Now, of course, he was in a big name match at Wrestlemania, but it isn't like that ended too favorably for him.

Any of you guys see Roddy kissed Layla on the lips? As soon as I saw that, I came here to see if anyone was going to say something and NO ONE did!!

Ziggler's match seemed way too short. It's also strange he kissed Vickie after winning since he was obviously more of a face during the match.

Once again, not bothered to go into too much details but here is my thoughts . . .
The opening promo was boring. The tag match was really good. Shouldn't of been the opener but it was still an entertaining watch. *Sigh* I'd prefer Vickie stay with Swagger instead, Ziggler should be on his own and hopefully I don't have to wait too much longer for it to happen. The match itself wasn't very good either.
The HHH/Heyman segment was by far the best part of this show. Absolutely loved it, Heyman is so awesome. Santino/Del Rio was bad. It really upsets me to see the US Champion get squashed. They need to get that title off Santino.
The Lauper segment was total crap, but at least I had Layla to look at for the majority of it so it wasn't a waste of time. Well, wasn't as much as a waste of time. The tag match was a less than average bout. Titus & Young just aren't that good of wrestlers and I'm not looking forward to those two title match. Also, Rosa not dancing really upset me.
Meh, didn't entirely hate the main event. It certainly wasn't a good match but I didn't see No Way Out so I was glad when Cena triple F-U'd him (am I the only one that still calls it that?). At least he didn't strip him and poor barbecue sauce on him.
Other side thoughts, Ryder not getting on the show was ridiculous. Teddy Long served like, no point being on there in the main event. Where the hell is Eve too? I felt like it's been weeks since we've seen her last. Oh, and I am really excited that next week will be Johnny Ace-less.

I thought this started off great, with Foley appearing, the opening Tag Team match, and Ziggler and Swagger's match, plus the crowd was so lively. Then it all trailed off.
That Cyndi Lauper segment was one of the worst in history, I don't know why WWE think we want to see people like her and see piece of crap segments like that. And the Main Event was dog s***.

Went to sleep before the end but read that Otunga 'just left'. Which is pretty lame.
Foley looks great, so happy he grew out his hair. Still think he's in the wrong company.
I thought he was going to be the GM But then only had one moment and made one match? What was the point in that.
Otherwise... err... Glad those two black guys with no charisma lost. Didn't know Kaitlyn had dyed her hair black.

Heyman/HHH is the best thing going for the WWE right now.

Heyman/HHH is the best thing going for the WWE right now. ...and the fact that it's 2012 is the sad part about that.

Heyman/HHH is the best thing going for the WWE right now. ...and the fact that it's 2012 is the sad part about that. True. I think the fact that the most excitement on Raw these last few months has largely been generated from guys who by and large aren't active wrestlers anymore (Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Triple H, Shawn Michaels). Though of guys who are currently active, Bryan, Punk, and Jericho have been pretty good. However, that's a pretty small number of talents to build a compelling weekly show around.

Heyman and H actually sent me to bed. The whole thing bores me to sleep, literally. Just want them to kill each other....and get on with it.
Usual mundane things going on. What do they think Zigs and ADR get out of winning those matches?.....
I'm glad the tag match came about at NWO and that it appears we may get some regular tag team level stuff BUT surely they'd have been better off setting that match up on TV before or after a PPV and build it up over the weeks of programming they have then have the match and then build up again to the title match.
And no Zack Ryder......great.

The Kane/AJ stuff is just fantastic. Are you kidding? Good God its terrible, you're easily entertained. That Raw was awful. Seriously who is running that show? It was dire! Is Vince still running things? Im serious..that show was pathetic! TERRIBLE!
