Cena wouldn't sell food to a starving man, he's brutal.

IanMc666 · 31-05-2011 04:04AM

Truth's face when the "Lets go Cena/Cena sucks" chants were going on, HAHAHA, I want a gif!!

Super-Rush · 31-05-2011 04:06AM

Jesus christ that made me cringe.

Eire-Dearg · 31-05-2011 04:07AM

Are those guys not placed there to act in those type of segments?

GTR63 · 31-05-2011 04:08AM

Lame ending Cena was made look like he was Far too good to be in there against Truth.I hope Truth gets a new pair of jeans he still has Whats Up on his pants.

That was actually funny but it didn't make R Truth look like a serious threat.Hope this match changes that.R truth should win to get a title match at Capitol Punishment.Seems that wwe have forgotten how to spell Capital or else they want to be edgey & cool for us hipsters.

They probably spell it that way so that they can copyright it.

Without a doubt they are paid actors. Same as the Billy Barry wannabee at the last PPV in the Miz/Cena main event.

Raw was OK-ish. The good parts were Rey/Punk and Ziggler/Kofi having very good TV matches. The Miz/Riley brawl was awesome, it looked very believable and got Riley over big time. It was exactly how you should start a feud between 2 former allies. Kong's speech was better than I expected. It was pretty much an out of character explanation. She can just come back next year and start kicking some (hot) ass again. On a related note, I love The Bellas :P

I guess the main event did its job by building R-Truth as a dastardly heel. Wasn't exactly entertaining though.

Hmm. Kingston/ Ziggler could be interesting.

That feud already happened on SD

Very poor raw. Only good thing out of it was the miz/ reily thing. Truth is playing a great heel who would of that. Not me. Why the change?

I thought that was a decent Raw!

It's good to see some new guys getting a chance to show what they can do. Alex Riley, R-Truth, Swagger, Bourne, Ziggler and Kofi all got plenty of tv time. We had two good matches between Rey/Punk and Ziggler/Kofi (which was marred by Lawlers jibes at Vickie). R-Truth continues to be fantastic entertainment and I've no problem with him getting a cheap count-out win over Cena at this stage.

The Kharma bit was grand. Again the fat jokes were unnecessary but she brought it up herself so it made sense for the Bella's to pick up on that.

Yeah, agreed here. Don't think it was poor at all. Not amazing, but not bad.

I'm reserving judgement for the Truth angle till next week cause it has potential; Truth should be able to come out and say how he outsmarted Cena, and no one thought he could do that. He could say he's watched as people try and fight him head on and that's never worked against Cena so he tried something new and it worked. He's smarter than Cena.

The Volt · 31-05-2011 03:50PM

I just find it daft like. That didn't need to be the main event. We know nothing of the next ppv yet either.

Cianan2 · 31-05-2011 05:02PM

A-ri destroys another one of Miz's nice and colourful shirts. Also, his musics intro is pretty badass!

The Bella Twins = Lay Cool.

Punk scoring a clean win, enjoyed that!

R-Truth playing the perfect heel at the moment, I hope this feud last longer then 2 weeks!

JP Liz V1 · 31-05-2011 05:14PM

Has Riley been drafted back to Raw so

or has his draft switch to SD been "forgotten" about

Since the draft the only good thing happening on Raw seems to be Truth's heel turn and push, I mean Del Rio seems lost in the shuffle and Kofi is feuding again with Dolph and still hardly any time screen time or even a match for Zach, Cole seems to be heel one show, face the next - SD just seems the better show imo

Dr.Evil · 31-05-2011 05:22PM

I only saw some bits of Raw..Kofi/Ziggler was real good though I thought. Ziggler came out of that match looking very strong, put in a good performance, and he got a clean win too. Like to see it.

Also loved the Alex Riley segment, I'm liking his face turn. I look forward to seeing it develop further. Potential there.

CMpunked · 31-05-2011 05:48PM

Ive always said Riley could be big news. Glad they are doing it this way instead of having him destroyed by Cena and/or Orton.

spiritcrusher · 31-05-2011 05:57PM

When Riley first appeared at the top of the ramp as his music hit, have to say, he really did look like a bit of a star. He seems to have something about him. Hopefully he can keep it going.
Loving the fact that Raw seems to be all about Truth these days, especially considering a couple of months ago I could not stand him! Pity his match was boring as hell but an interesting enough ending.
The rest of the show wasn't anything major, a few decent TV matches, Kharma gave her explanation but what's with Del Rio?! He's completely stalled. He was the best thing about the WWE a few months ago. Still love him but... Bah! Give him a decent feud.

Lord TSC · 31-05-2011 06:15PM

Forgotten in a way. They did say the Raw GM had hired him to a contract to Raw and combined with Miz saying he couldn't go to Smackdown cause of his last contract, my guess is they've decided to pretend it didn't happen,....

Insect Overlord · 31-05-2011 06:22PM

Is it just me or is Del Rio sounding more like Santino Marella every week?

DM_7 · 31-05-2011 07:24PM

I enjoyed that RAW. WWE are hitting the basics right at the minute which makes the flow of the show much better.

We are getting good matches. We are getting matches that are part of a storyline (Evan v Swagger and Cena v Truth), matches that are simply about two people who don't like each other (Punk v Rey).

WWE are also promoting what is still to come throughout the show.

I liked the way Kharma was written off.

Miz is so Good at being hated he has managed to get Alex Riley over as a face in two shows.

Truth was fantastic again. Just brilliant.

I only used the fast forward button during breaks.

Wasn't clean. There was interference throughout.

Does it really matter? The draft has meant precisely nothing for about 6 years now.

That really pissed me off as well. There are plenty women out there who would like to have Vickis figure. King just accentuated the stereotype. It wasn't that it was even heelish, it was plain nasty.

Agree with the sentiments toward Riley, he certainly carried himself very well. Interested to see how he is treated by creative from here, or will he just get decimated by Miz at the next PPV?

Cole did say that the Raw GM had re-signed Riley this week - I wasn't clear on whether he meant from SD or because Miz fired him as his employee. Either way it's pretty irrelevant - The Riley/Miz feud makes sense for both guys at the moment so if that means they ignore a pointless draft move then that's fine by me.

Dr.Evil · 31-05-2011 09:31PM

Did Big Show ever appear on SmackDown after being drafted there?
Great two picks there for SmackDown..

Pentecost · 31-05-2011 09:55PM

Big Show came to Raw didn't he?

Big Show was drafted to Raw I think

I know sometimes the draft dont mean much but it was really pointless drafting Riley to SD when someone else could have gone to SD *coughs* Ryder

If they want Ryder or anyone else to go to Smackdown they don't need a draft to do it.
