BHK1978 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 <p>I saw the first two hours and missed most of the second hour. I did see the part where Bryan Danielson was slapping Cena in the face and I thought it was great. I like this whole rookies revolt idea, now I hope it does not go the way of the Natural Born Thrillers and just end up being lackluster.</p><p> </p><p> One question as I did not see the whole attack, what happened to Michael Cole during this whole thing? I did not see him on the floor post-attack.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisen-verse Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 <p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">I have to say I lazily watched the first 2 1/2 hours of RAW hoping something cool would happen. At first, I thought it was just seeing CM Punk headline RAW would be it. I haven't watched much in the last few months, so, I'm new to his "Straight Edge" heel stable; Love the visuals of it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> With that said, as the winner of NXT came down... I was expecting something rather, well, expected. He would climb into the ring and attack Cena; A "new star is born" kind of thing. However, when they all showed up and started attacking CM Punk, at first, I was thinking there was going to be this stupid angle where these guys become like Cena's army for whatever reason. Sounded dumb, yes, but that's what I expect from the WWE.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> So....</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> When the ending took place as it did I found myself marking out like a 10 year old boy again. ha. I even went as far as to tell my Fiancee about how shocking it was to see such a scenario end a WWE broadcast in the companies 'new direction'. It felt very nWo-esque but even more violent in a way. There was this raw hatred permeating from these guys. All I can say is... wow... Bravo WWE. Great work! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> Now don't blow this and you'll gain me as a weekly viewer.</span></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
