Nice to see WWE opening up for this. There is always the risk he's going to get beaten up, in which case he obviously won't be in Summerslam in any form or shape. But likely they will give him a can instead of a big fight just for his appearance (that can save this "supercard").

<p>Yeah the idea of Lesnar vs. Punk is hilarious, there's a solid 100 lbs weight difference between the two and probably three weight classes. Look at what Lesnar did to established, experienced Heavyweights like Randy Couture and Frank Mir (second time around haha). I think he would literally put Punk in a coma if they had a fight.</p><p> </p><p>

Besides, Punk's already got this opponent hasn't he? Isn't he fighting Mickey Gall? He should beat him considering he's had about a year to prepare for him now. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Ever since the suplex city crap started, his matches are cookie cutter. He's now the worst offender of "Five Moves of Doom" than anyone else. He doesn't even have five moves of doom. It's just suplex city, knee strikes, the F5, and the kimura. I get it, he has star power and drawing ability, but his matches are unwatchable now.</p>

Promoting Lesnar was drawing on average around 60,000 more buys. But after he lost, buy rates dropped around 50,000, as did his prominence on the card.</p>

the fact that you just called Mark Hunt a can makes me wonder how much MMA knowledge you really have.. lol

 

Look at the last few wrestlers hes faced he knocked them out. I think Brock can take him BUT Brock doesn't like to get hit, and Hunt hits probably harder than anyone he has been in there with, Overeem and Carwin would be arguable though. This will NOT be an easy fight unless Hunt can't stop the takedown. Lets see how ready Brock is

<p>The big news is this one! Teddy Long is back! <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

It wasn't a good Raw. It wasn't a bad Raw. It was just a Raw.

 

Standout parts were Owens (as always), Cena vs AJ promo segment and Reigns vs Rollins hype videos. I admit Teddy Long made me laugh a few times but it was still pretty awful scripting.
