I'm not sure there's anything I actually like about him.

Cena is a good worker.

The trouble is that he comes across as cheesy and insincere in his promos. Plus he's been booked as a superman who can beat down 20 men who've just spent 10 minutes beating him up, makes it hard for anyone over 8 to get behind the guy

i think cena would be liked more by the fans if he wasnt the golden boy of wwe

Think that sums it up tbh.

Cena is a modern day Bob Backlund. He's a decent wrestler and decent champion, but in time will be seen as just a transition between 2 golden eras like Backlund was from Bruno Sammartino to Hulk Hogan.

A cracking montage to open RAW.

Mae Young's hand son was the funniest thing I've seen in ages.

Only complaints about last night are Charlie Sheen & Swagger getting squashed that fast. Fantastic ending.

Yeah the Sheen segments were so awkward that I was embarrassed to watch.

But Raw was something else. Best Raw since the Millennium.

I'm excited by Punk going heel again. I hope he retains until the RR now before his inevitable loss to Rocky who'll go on to lose the rematch with Cena at WM29 and end his involvement in WWE.

Yeah, what's the point of having a celebrity guest who's not even in the building?

Swagger must have some nuclear heat back stage cos the guy has gone from world champ to glorified jobber.

Miz reaction to winning the IC belt was good, making out like the belt is actually something important.

I read online that WWE were bringing in anyone who had still had a telephone and they weren't joking. Just hope that they can fill out the 3 hours of Raw without that many surprise guests.

Still, Punk's heel turn was awesome.

Not sure about AJ as the new GM, mind....

Best Raw for ages. Some genuinely funny segments (DX were brilliant and it's good seeing them all again..... Shame Chyna wasn't there)

Punks heal turn was great, and is something WWE could run with if done right. Just hope they don't screw it up.

Only downside for me was AJ becoming GM. Shes been great recently but I'm not sure about her as a permanent GM. Was hoping for someone like Regal or Heyman.

Can't wait till next week to see who Punk starts terrorising. That heel turn was tremendous! Fair play to the Rock aswell. Hopefully Punk will keep the strap until the Rumble as that would be one hell of a match!

I wouldn't call it a downside it COULD be a master stroke if they tie her to Punk (Would make THAT story suddenly fall into place).
I wouldn't put it past the WWE to relive Edge and Vickie G/HHH and SMH as in a monster heel (by actions) and a female boss figure that he is aligned too!

One more thing.

How much did Billy Gunn look like he was enjoying himself?????
Don't think he stopped laughing and smiling throughout the entire segment.

Yes although The Rock did sell the clothesline like he had a severed spine!!!

Just finished watching Raw. Some great nostalgia moments. How could I have forgotten Funaki and his 'Indeed' catchphrase



A few points:

How much timber has Taker put on?
How the hell could Cole mention The Miz when rattling off the names of the legends that had shown up?
How f*cking hot did Trish, AJ and Stef look???


WTF is AJ as GM all about?

He looked in real good shape too

Oh, my other gripe is that JR called one match at the bottom of the card. Why not Punk v Cena?

Miz as IC champ is awesome. With the likes of him, Christian, Cody, Swagger (despite his burial), Funkasaurus, Mysterio, R-Truth, etc etc - there's a real chance to build a mid-card with some meaning. I like how Bret called winning the IC belt one of the best moments of his career. Maybe that is the jumpstart the IC strap needs.

I wish they'd drop the US Title, or at least replace it with the European or Hardcore strap, if they're going to let jobbers like Santino carry it around.

It's something I've been saying for ages, there's not enough talent to cover for 4 single titles. You could get away with after WCW went under because there was a large talent pool which allowed the brand spilt to work. But now there's not enough top guys to create enough rivalries to make the belts seem worth anything.

They should merge them into just the WWE title and the IC title

Huge Pop for Taker..! Pity he couldn't get his hood down..

No Stone Cold either.

Recovering from Surgery apparently.

As is the Great Khali now, had surgery on his pituitary gland this week! Bloody hell.

Well the first 3 hour Raw that wasn't packed with every superstar from the last 20 years wasn't that bad.

Did seem to drag a little in places. But the CM Punk stuff was good. It's just a shame that after getting a win against Tensai, Tyson Kidd has been getting a kicking every time he shows his face.

And the new GM of Smackdown is... (written in white text below)

=#FFFFFF[size=150BOOKER T[/size

Booker T? Are you kidding?

That marble mouthed rambler is going to be in a main position to get over wrestlers and angles? Cos he's done such a wonderful job on commentary.
