He was their only choice until they were able to build up someone else(Henry). Sure, they let Christian get in a few wins, and two terribly short title reigns. That was just so the feud would drag out a little longer since they were putting on good matches anyway, and they didn't want to rush Henry's push.

Christian again?</p>

I think the reason no one has mentioned it is because it's common courtesy not to mention something that a lot of people would rather find out by watching the show. So if you could kindly put your above post in spoiler tags or at least edit it in some way that would be great
-
I can see Ziggler vs Riley for the US Title, Miz vs Mysterio (Maybe Miz coming out to say it's ridiculous that he doesn't have a match at Summerslam, should be in title match etc - out comes Mysterio and GM Alert goes off to say they will have am atch now) and Bryan vs Barrett.
Don't see them having another Morrison vs Truth match so soon seeing as the last match ended cleanly and the resurgence of Kofi and ADR feuding seems to have been just a short thing to give them both something to do on Raw. As someone else said, the Divas match won't go long and neither will Sheamus vs Henry so there might be room for a Jackson vs Rhodes IC Title match although I doubt it.
That would give us
Punk vs Cena - WWE Title
Christian vs Orton - World Heavyweight Title (No Holds Barred)
Sheamus vs Henry
Kelly Kelly vs Beth Phoenix - Divas Title
Daniel Bryan vs Wade Barrett
Miz vs Mysterio
Ziggler vs Riley - US Title
Cody Rhodes vs Ezekiel Jackson - IC Title (Maybe)
Imo, that is a very solid and interesting card, certainly worthy of purchase is anyones book.
Only thing would be the lack of Cody Rhodes if there is no IC Title match.
I'm thinking they might throw in a bonus match of something like Miz, ADR & Truth vs Mysterio, Kofi & Morrison.
-
I make Summerslam to be their 5th match, and their 4th ppv in a row.
And personally I've enjoyed the whole story/angle/feud so far.
-
"Yup, Japan here I come! No more WWE, had a great time tho." Smith wrote on his Facebook page.
Apparently that is what he wrote, I haven't comfirmed it myself, just read it somewhere.
-
David Hart Smith released.

I was reviewing a few things on youtube, and thought I seen it as well, and you just confirmed it. I don't think the anonymous GM ever did anything when Vince was on either. Just figured if a "higher" authority is on, the anonymous GM doesn't have to be.
I am one that don't really dislike it, at least not as much as other's. What always makes me wonder about things, is how whenever something grabs our attention like the Punk stuff, people seem quick to bring up something NOT being mentioned, when they seemed to hate it in the first place. Out of all the things that they might forget about, I never thought people would be like "Dang it! What happened to the Anonymous GM!! I want him back or I want closure!!!" Me on the other hand, being a fan of both the anonymous GM gimmick, and mainly what it has done for Cole, I do want closure or it brought back. I even liked the weird voice they gave it for one show.
I think the term "nit picky" comes to my mind when I see stuff like this. I understand the reason people are always so quick to point out stuff they think is lacking/being ignored/forgotten about, etc. It's the speed in which stuff is pointed out, and the fact that there is no way they could know anything about it yet. Maybe they did, and the things on the podium for house shows, pre-shows, or after-shows, just for the live crowd, but we can't possibly know if it's gone or not for good yet. If the thing come up while HHH or Vince was around, it wouldn't even make sense... Why would ANY general manager try to change anything that a higher power is doing, unless it was part of the storyline.... like HHH vs. The Anonymous GM. Just don't make any sense.
If it comes back, I suspect it will be on a show that HHH or Vince is not going to be on. Might be sooner then we think.
Like you I've never had a problem with the Anonymous GM, to a certain point anyway. While I don;t mind the idea, it now seems to have dragged on and the more it goes on, the bigger the reveal is going to have to be for it to be worthwhile imo. Of course, whoever it is revealed to be (if it ever is revealed) will make no sense what so ever given the things the Anonymous GM has said, mostly in the early months of it's usage.
-
And just a few seconds after my previous post, Chris Masters is also released.
-
Melina abd Vladimir Kozlov both released.
Bit surprised about both tbf, although also not surprised if that makes sense
Melina was pretty much the dominant diva for a long time but it seems her attitude got her demoted down the pecking order over the last 18 months or so.
Kozlov also, whilst not the best or most exciting worker, was someone I didn't particularly expect to see released soon. Would be hard to ever have him as a viable main event heel though after the way he has been used over the past 18 months.
Presumably there are more releases to come as they usually have quite a few releases every year, although normally a little earlier than this.
As long as they don't go and release someone like Drew McIntyre, someone who they can still actually do something big with, then I'll be happy.
-
1. Who was the annonomus GM for the last year and a half? The podium is gone now, so I am assuming the gimmick is over...I don't care if Trip had simply said "one of the changes I'm making is that the GM is gone." but at least, you know, address why and how a major gimmick is simply gone with no warning.
*wave hand in a Jedi-like fashion* There never was a Annonymous GM for RAW.The podium has been on all of the last few episodes of Raw, it just hasn't been used. Presumably the email alert will go off at some point over the next couple of weeks and the GM will say that they didn't want to step on HHH's toes or something or they were given a few weeks off by HHH and things will continue as before.
-
Hopefully as I say though Punk will make the case that neither Rey or Cena's reigns count as he is the champion and they can't just sweep his reign under the carpet meaning at Summerslam it's Cena getting his rematch against Punk for the MITB match.
Sure it makes the tournament seem pointless but there were reasons for doing it.
-
Don't think Mysterio is getting a title any time soon.
Hopefully it all ends up with Punk being rightfully recognised as the champion, which means Punk vs Cena at Summerslam.
Punk can come back next week and say he had to make his point that he is the champion and any one they've decided is new champion means nothing so Rey and Cena's reigns don't count. Punk says if Cena thinks he deserves to be champion then he should earn it by invoking his rematch at Summerslam. Hopefully Punk then beats Cena.
Cena can then feud with Del Rio and Mysterio with Punk whilst presumably Miz and Riley reignite for another match.
Depending on the situation of Punk's return it could lead to HHH giving Punk more desperate matches in an effort to 'reclaim' the title.
A triple threat match at Night Of Champions, a HIAC match at the similarly named ppv etc
-
Well, when they first started to turn him face, they did yes. And there certainly isn't any room for another Orton style anti face especially as Kane also adopts that role.
-
Yeah, pretty sure Sheamus is slowly beginning to turn face, but he hasn't done anything face-like yet other than be blindsided by Barrett last week. So in that sense it was a little odd.
-
No, you're quite right.
To me the whole show was rather odd.
No Rhodes or DiBiase at all, considering Rhodes was meant to have an IC Title match.
No Khali or Jinder Mahal.
No Justin Gabriel
Sheamus vs Wade Barrett - heel vs heel.
No Divas segment.
Only 4 matches.
-
I don't know if it's aired in the US yet but did anyone see the camera guy fall over the WWE sign when Teddy Long came out in the opening segment. If it's yet to air in the US check out the WWE sign in the background when Teddy comes out. I laughed
Yeh, spotted that, absolutely brilliant
-
Was going to say that's a bit ahead planning wise
-
Do you mean Triple H vs Punk at next years Summerslam?
-
Personally I'd be happy to see a triple main event at Mania of...
John Cena vs The Rock
The Undertaker vs Randy Orton
Triple H vs CM Punk

Absolutely no chane in hell Sin Cara is getting it, Bryan would get a slightly better 5% chance. Slater or Gabriel aren't getting it either.

Bourne won't win, Swagger or Miz won't win again, Kofi hasn't shown anything to suggest he is in a position to main event since his feud with Orton and despite the fact they are clearly pushing Riley it is just far too early for him. Don't want Rey to win it on a purely personal level but don't see that happening anyway. One of Del Rio or Truth for me. Truth could win and fail to cash it in in some screwy manner that furthers the conspiracy thread for him. It probably is Alberto's destiny to win it though.</p>

Cabana is gonna be at MITB. Let the speculation begin whether or not he'll have a hand in the finish.
Any source on this? Pretty big thing to come out with so need a source really.

If there was a facebook style like post option on here, this post would get one. As there isn't, I'll just say I very much agree with this.
