Cobra Commander Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I just realized I want Ryback, Monsanto spokes person, now. FUCK he could sell t-shirts that say ALL-GMO. "can we call his finisher the Terminator Seed without getting sued?" but in all seriousness, Heyman could just 'introduce' Ryback/Axel to Zeb to get Zeb off of his back about Cesaro. Sorta like compensation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooseCannon Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The Cesaro/Heyman pairing also gives Paul something to do in-between Brock appearances. Lesnar's still on a limited schedule, correct? They HAD to have him come out last night to celebrate the ultimate pelt to place on a mantle before he disappears for his next big angle. It'd be pretty lame if he went back to focusing on Rybaxel, who aren't bad but are what they are. Heyman abandoned them, so I could see them aligning with Zeb Coulter out of spite. Speaking of tag teams, will we get a Usos vs Orton/Batista tag title match on PPV, or were the tag champs just used as props to put those guys over? What do you think? Tag Teams have always been props for big stars to abuse in WWE. Go back to Austin/Michaels, Tag champs. I think if this had been a nothing Raw without a ton of awesomeness, someone would have whined about the tag titles being devalued by now. I'm curious as to whether people here want to see the Usos reign for longer or if they think putting the belts on Orton/Batista makes sense and opens up way for interesting, higher profile matches. Another tag team thought would be Heyman building up a stable to go with Cesaro and taking two guys from mid-card hell to be his new tag team that he can use to support his singles guy. Or, he can fake out two mid-carders and put them in matches, then bring in some guys he "scouted" in NXT to destroy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 If Steven Hawking ever invents time travel, I want to use the power to go back in time to 1998 and post on RSPW to tell everyone that in the future a time will come when Rey Mysterio Jr. gets booed out of the building and Hulk Hogan is cheered like the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Omega Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 RATINGZ AND BUYRATEZ PLZ LETS TALK ABOUT THEM Ratings from last week Daniel Bryan's expected WWE TV return and the Bryan vs. Triple H feud boosted Raw TV ratings on Monday heading into WrestleMania. Bryan's attack on Hunter in the final moments of the March 31 Raw was the most-watched portion of the show in the males 18-49 demographic. During the non-overrun portion of the show, Triple H's speech at the top of the Second Hour teasing a potential Bryan appearance was by far the highest-rated quarter-hour. The consistently strong TV ratings for Bryan-Hunter over the past month (excluding last week where Bryan did not appear on the show) point to their feud being the strongest heading into WrestleMania. Raw TV Ratings Break Down (m18-49) - Overall Show Average: 2.10 rating / 1.3 million viewers - Q1: Raw opened with a weak 1.85 rating for the opening segment, which was Undertaker and Brock Lesnar's final exchange before WrestleMania. Taker-Lesnar peaked with 1.288 million viewers at 8:12 p.m., below the show average. - Q2: Raw fell to a show-low 1.66 rating for two commercials and the first-half of IC champion Big E. vs. Alberto Del Rio. - Q3: Raw jumped to a 2.04 rating for the end of the match, one commercial, and the Wyatts delivering a message to John Cena. The second-half with the Wyatts popped the quarter-hour rating, peaking with 1.433 million viewers at 8;41 p.m. - Q4: Raw increased to a 2.09 rating as Raw built momentum heading to the top of the hour. The segment included Summer Rae vs. Natalya, one commercial, and the first-half of The Authority's speech. *** - Q5: Raw popped a 2.55 rating for the second-half of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon teasing a Bryan appearance, plus one commercial at the end of the segment. The segment built from 1.543 million viewers at 9:00 p.m. to a peak of 1.736 million viewers at 9:07 p.m. Batista and Randy Orton interrupted, then it became apparent Bryan was not coming out, which led to the audience tapering off to 1.658 million viewers when Raw went to break at 9:11 p.m. - Q6: Raw began a Second Hour Slide to a 2.14 rating for an eight-man tag match centered on the top WWE tag teams, plus one commercial. - Q7: Raw slid to a 2.03 rating for the end of the tag match, one-and-a-half commercials, and Rhodes Bros. vs. Damien Sandow & Fandango. - Q8: Raw dipped to a 2.01 rating for Bray Wyatt vs. R-Truth and one-and-a-half commercials. *** - Q9: Raw rebounded to a 2.17 rating at the top of the Third Hour for John Cena's post-match sneak-up on the Wyatts, one commercial, and A.J. Lee vs. Naomi. The quarter-hour peaked with 1.554 million viewers at 10:02 p.m. for Cena sneaking up on the Wyatts. - Q10: Raw dipped to a 2.09 rating for various videos, WM30 hype, and one commercial. - Q11: Raw slightly increased to a 2.12 rating for Roman Reigns vs. Kane, one commercial, and the first-half of the Piper's Pit segment. The end of Reigns-Kane and this portion of Piper's Pit were evenly matched. The match peaked with 1.499 million viewers and Pit peaked with 1.490 million viewers. - Q12: Raw increased to a 2.21 rating for the second-half of Piper's Pit, one commercial, and the first-half of the original WrestleMania main event of Randy Orton vs. Batista. The segment was boosted by the second-half of the Pit, which peaked with 1.619 million viewers at 10:48 p.m. By comparison, the first-half of the main event hit 1.519 million viewers at 10:59 p.m. - Over-run: The over-run drew a show-high 2.68 rating - easily the highest over-run rating during Mania Season. The final segment started with 1.609 million viewers at 11:00 p.m., peaked with 1.758 million viewers at 11:04 p.m. when Bryan attacked Hunter, and went off the air with 1.752 million viewers and 1.643 million viewers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zheroen Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Does anyone know what fans were singing in Barrett vs. Mysterio? ''We love you Barrett, we do, oh Barrett we love you'' ''PNE'' (Preston North End chant, Barrett's favorite football team) something else. The British influence was in full effect tonight, that's why the post-mania Raw's are so awesome.

scraylo187 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I really want them to keep the podium for Barrett's ring entrance. Let the pulse that starts his music start while the podium rises, then he can deliver a gavel banging bad news promo about the arena and his opponent, then his fucking awesome music starts playing as the podium comes down and he heads to the ring.

Bustronaut Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 When Orton/Batista were in the ring for the beginning of their match with the Usos, I had to keep reminding myself they weren't some local jobbers doing a tryout match. The shaved head/black trunks/boots/tattoo sleeves/roided up look is just so generic now. I don't know, they just seemed terribly bland, and Batista seemed a little lost at the beginning of the match to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Batista has always looked lost vs. anyone not HHH or Eddie. As a fan of his first run it was one of his subtle charms on account of his late career start. Now that's he's parachuted back into the main event with a Gracie logo on his tush it's kind of unbearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
