Jesus I watched RAW this morning, what a load of sh*te!

I knew I had valuable reasons for hardly watching this anymore, but usually you can rely on the pre Wrestlemania Raw's to step it up a notch but I guess I was wrong.

1)This has to be the weakest WM line up I can remember
2) Who the **** is Snooki? A reality tv star? Really? is that the best they can do to get mainstream media?
3)Triple H/Undertaker, the whole thing is soo forced, no concrete backbone of a reason for a feud, they need to build it up by having other wrestlers say how big it is? Even those comments sound so hollow. With the king saying in 40 years hes never seen anything like the no word spoken return between the two? Really King? I've seen better on Superstars!
4) How much are they over doing it with Cole? This is going to be atrocious at WM, Cole applying an ankle lock is cringeworthy! He just jiggles on the ground like a fat jelly tot, while applying NO pressure to the leg at all, and repeat the same line over an over!!!

I'm done ranting now. I kinda feel like facepalming myself for actually watching this tripe!

Let me exclude CM PUNK who is the only good thing going, probably will have a good match at WM with Ortan.
Also if Morrison & Ziggler were left on their own, it could be good.

Fantastic post.

I agree with you on the Cole v Lawler match, its going to be a bit like Bret v McMahon last year where its all in the build-up and the payoff is just going to be a beatdown, but its been an enjoyable watch, and when you compare the Lawler/Cole build to the Taker/HHH feud its really laughable how poorly they've invested time into the latter.

I think the promos they had for the Taker match with Arn etc would be a great side dish if it was on the side of some great building. I disagree a lot with posters on WWE stuff but can usually see their point of view no matter how much I disagree with it but I'm astonished with how some posters think the HHH/Taker feud has been built well.

HHH has simply buried a couple of guys, one who went on to be US champion a couple of weeks later, which makes the US championship look weak, and just said how its the one thing (breaking the streak) that nobody has done and he needs to do it... (seriously I've heard that line now nearly every year for Takers Mania match) Taker has shown up twice in 8 or 9 shows and barely done anything but give his run of the mill Mania promo. They run video promos for THREE WEEKS now when they could have put them all into one show, and done something else for the other shows. One week all they did was have HBK give 3 minutes about the match! Could they not have had Taker or HHH have some sort of interaction of some kind?? (Of course not, that would ruin the effect of the match when they finally meet is the deluded answer someone will give me)

This less is more argument is búllshít in my view. They've not bothered to build the feud with any sort of interest and the fact that it was a last minute decision to make the match is so obvious. They've effectively spread out a very bare 2 weeks worth of material into 5 weeks now and to be honest I couldn't give a shít about their match at Mania because they've done nothing with it.

Ooooh HHH is an assassin, oh he has desire, oh he wont quit, blah blah blah. Undertakers streak won't be given up easy, he never dies, it's what makes him, blah blah blah, its the exact same thing they've been telling us all for years but now are just reminding us and telling us its a reason for a match, its not, its just a veil for the fact that they've no idea what to do with this feud and fortunately for WWE some fans are actually buying it.

The convienient addition of the Orton Express was dumb but Punk's "Ahhhhhh! Shaddap!" made up for it.

Doubt it will go anyway but it was good to see Eve actually bothering to stand up to Michael Cole's BS. Thought Lawler got a decent showing too. Allowed to stand up for his family but Swagger outclasses him.

Upside down W makes the belt look sillier as it doesn't really look like an M that close to the camera. Just an upside down logo. At least replace the plate with one that has the red underlining the M. Edge had his custom belt for about two weeks aswell.

Cole Vs Lawler in a lumber-jill match

I was half asleep but didn't he say he got rehired in some corporate role?
