1) Jericho brought the promo back. I loved it. It's coming full circle and hopefully sets up a huge wrestlemania match. I cannot wait to see it play out. That was very well done.
2) punk finally got his hands on Mr Excitement. That was also great as we've been waiting for it. Also to throw ziggler in there was perfect to promote the wwe title match.
Good raw. My only complaint is Ryder being involved with cent and Kane. Let Ryder have fun and joke around. Get him away from this ********.
The more I think about it, the more I actually like Ziggler running in at the end to ruin all the fun. It brings the viewer back to the beginning of the show, when Ziggler warned Punk that he shouldn't be worrying about John, he should be worrying about him (Ziggler). Great foreshadowing.

Yep, and with Punk/Ace being the focal point of the show Ziggler became an afterthought and he came back to remind us just how dangerous he is.

Good point. It also draws the audiences attention back to the match itself. They did such a good job building heat between Ace and Punk that I myself started to forget about Ziggler (and I'm a huge Ziggler fan). Having Ziggler jump in quickly at the end puts the focus back on the 2 guys competing. It was excellent writing imo.
The only real downside to Raw for me, like many said, Ryder/Kane/Cena. that was rough. Glad I was watching on youtube to speed through that ridiculously long segment.
Very excited for the RR. The fact Jericho might win has me ready to mark out.
Flying back from LA to east coast Sunday night, will need to catch a replay of the PPV. i can't wait to get in at midnight and sit down and watch it from the start!
I highly doubt Triple H is just playing the role of evaluating Laurinaitus. I thought about today how it'd be if Jericho went after 'Taker's streak after winning the Rumble and they had a Triple H heel turn next week in a swerve to end the show. Say he looks at John Laurinaitus like he'll fire him, until he turns around and smirks at CM Punk, low blows him and gives him a pedigree on the WWE Championship. The heat would be tremendous.
I mean, the whole Punk/Laurinaitus thing is getting exciting now with what happened last night on Raw, but I just think that the perfect end to what started in June would be a Triple H vs. CM Punk WWE Championship at WrestleMania. That's just my personal opinion though. There are a ton of ways WWE can take this to make it exciting now and lead to something big at WrestleMania.

That sounds excellent, but you just know HHH would go over clean on Punk...and it would end up sucking

Eh, I think in a WrestleMania environment with a No DQ, No Countout stipulation and outside interference from John Laurinaitus on Triple H's behalf, CM Punk would still go over and that'd be the moment that CM Punk REALLY rises to the top and is just on par with John Cena in terms of value to the WWE, IMO.
I don't think it happens, but I really hope so. Something is up with Triple H appearing next week though.
ColePens...when did you become a Mod over here? Or have you been one for a while? Either way, thanks for these threads, it's good to have a place to talk about this stuff
I've been here a little bit. Pens board, Wrestling board, and Trade board. Safe to say that the wrestling board and Pens board are always nice and relaxed. My two favorites.

Ha, Pens board relaxed.
I've never seen such an uppity group of "us against the world" fans in my life.

Yeah.. when HHH went over in their one match a few months ago, it was ****ing ridiculous. Why in the world would he need a win when Punk was the hottest thing coming during the summer.

Don't want to stray OT, but you should see HF Oilers. It's divided into camps of apologists and critics of the club's rebuilding process. I rarely post because there's too much fighting in that community after losses.
