    I enjoyed RAW--more specifically the Rey/Sin Cara vs Primo/Epico match (in spite of Primo messing up a headscissors bump lol).

     

    I guess because I'm getting older I've kinda accepted the fact that the WWE is about entertainment and not wrestling so the angles don't bother me that much anymore which has led me to concentrate more of the actual wrestling in the ring where I saw Ryback and Tensai mess up the finish that Ryback has done before. Don't know who to really blame for that one spot but if Ryback would have pulled it off on a live RAW I believe his staredown with Punk would have garnered more crowd reaction.

    Didn't watch the Kane/Bryan segments from last week, but I love it! And now I also see why people keep saying #Harold (didn't know it was Scorpio Sky at first). Daniel looks a little stiff--then again he's never been much of a skit guy but still this is great work!

     

    BTW--I wanna see more of Mysterio and Sin Cara as a tag team. WWE could have Rey teach Sin how to work the WWE style as a luchador kinda like how in Tigerkinney's awesome DIASPORA diary he has Zodiac keeping Talisman in line with his attitude and also sharpening his skills.

    Triple H and Brock was boring.

     

    Jericho and Ziggler though? Phenomenal. I wish they had more time.

     

    Kofi & Truth vs Prime Time Players was pretty good. Titus has gotten so much better.

     

    *edit*

     

    Also, I can't believe Kevin Rudolf is only 29, the dude looks like he's in his 40's

     

    Couldn't agree more--especially since Jericho did his Walls of Jericho the old school way with the knee in the back!

     

    And Titus is WAY better then he used to be...except for that barking crap LOL.

    That was Extreme Rules in DC with Batista vs Cena last man standing as the main event. Shads last WWE match. I was there and don't remember the crowd being behind JTG much, but it might have come off better on tv. Only thing I remember is being angry that Batista lost via duct tape. -_-

     

    Yeah--that ending still makes me scratch my head. But in a way it makes sense now as the rules say you must beat a 10-count LOL. And yeah, on TV it looked like the crowd was digging JTG a lot more than usual.

I'm gonna beat a dead horse here and say that he was fast-tracked to the main roster which was crazy because he's been in Mexico and Japan--two different styles that are very different from the WWE style. Heck, in fact, in Mexico they work the complete opposite of American workers. He should have been down in FCW for a good minute then promoted up to the main roster.</p><p> </p><p> Ok, enough Sin Cara butt-kissing LOL...how excited is everyone that Dolph FINALLY has the MITB briefcase?!</p>

    What was he supposed to do? Stand there like Cerrone and get punched in the face?

     

    I guess so...lol

     

    But seriously, Diaz has come off like a whiner. Gonna quit because the judges didn't give you the win? Diaz was right: he kept coming forward and pushed the action. BUT Condit stuck to his gameplan of not getting trapped and scoring points. There was no way that Condit was going to stand there like Cowboy and get his energy sapped away by Diaz' chicken punches. Good fight and I look forward to Condit/GSP.

    Am I the only one that thinks the idea of a 45 year old dude who looks his age shouldn't be treated as an unstoppable force of nature? I don't see why it's not a better story to have a guy like Wade Barrett just destroy the Undertaker for two months straight only to have Undertaker somehow pull out a win at WM rather than "I respect you, brother," for what, the 5th straight year?

     

    I'd agree with you IF 'Taker wasn't outworking a good portion of the roster. Yeah, he's alot slower each year but still is a workhorse IMO. And I like the thought of Barrett destroying Taker till WM where the deadman would win and (hopefully) retire.
