Worst wrestling show in years. Nothing says Big monster bad ass like attacking a guy from behind and then running away when Superstars jobbers better known as the wwe midcard show up to save the day. The only thing that could make this HHH Lesnar program worth watching is if Lesnar runs through him in 18 seconds, but after watching Extreme Rules this Sunday and his opponent being Hunter, there's probably no chance in hell of that happening. After watching this show the only thing that stood out to me was that the WWE product is currently in the worst state i could ever remember it being in, and after this show it was painfully clear the talent depth in the wwe needs to improve. Cena is by far the worst thing on this show i just wish he could go home and not come back for a long time. I wouldn't mind this feud with Johnny ace if there was any chance super Cena would loose but it doesn't seem like that would ever happen, just makes me believe this is just going to spin off to Tensai vs Cena and nothing puts the assess in the seats like the top star of the company vs the Japanese guy formerly known as Prince Albert. The only thing to look forward to in the future is Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk at, As the Executive VP of talent relations and the GM of RAW and Smackdown calls it " The Over Limit PPV". This show sucked it seems like RAW gets worse and worse every week if it wasn't for Daniel Bryan or this podcast I would no longer watch this product 1/10
Cheers, and have a great night

Okay, this show ranged from a very good beginning, to a odd end where we are seeing a resurrection of an Attitude era story with a slew of stuff in between. The Lesnar/HHH bit shows that it will be the Summerslam match we get, and I'm intrigued, as those two haven't faced off against each other to my knowledge, but that will also allow the writers to add suspension angles to explain Lesnar's absences. Punk/Bryan will be good, but is this program coming too soon? Obviously Brodus is now the family friendly performer as Cena is going with the more adult program, as we are now seeing the kids up there with hornswoggle and THANGS 1&2... Otherwise, it was an okay show, if only made better because it now seems that cole is now back to being a neutral announcer, a 6 out of 10, Richard Lee.

I'm normally pretty optimistic and try to stay positive about WWE because it's a little too easy to complain and say "we want this, we want that." I didn't think this edition of Raw was terrible, just uninteresting. I couldn't care less about the Brock, HHH opening due to the fact Brock was beaten last night, thus ending his unstoppable monster gimmick before it really started. Had Lesner won last night this angle would have been fantastic! Who wants to see Great Khali against Kane as well...? Jeeeesus!
Looking forward to CM Punk v Daniel Bryan at Over The Limit!
Peace x

There were parts of this show that I really liked and parts that I didn't. I thought the opening segment was well done and despite the loss at Extreme Rules, Lesnar continues to be booked as a monster heel. The main difference that I still see between Brock Lesnar and the rest of the roster is that Brock is essentially playing himself, whereas everyone else is playing a role and trying to memorize lines, and it's just not convincing. I think Miz is probably the worst example of this. Speaking of Miz, I couldn't believe that he was chosen to participate in the beat the clock challenge over Cody Rhodes, Alberto Del Rio or even Brodus Clay. But then again, Jerry Lawler was in that 'elite' group too. Regardless, I'm glad that Bryan went over, as we're at least guaranteed a good match at the pay per view, both in terms of crowd reaction and in-ring.
I actually kind of liked the closing segment, as it was somewhat surprising and makes perfect sense, since Cena knocked off Laurenitis' chosen one, and now the evil GM is wanting a match with the company's top star when he's at his weakest.
Before I end this, I just want to disagree with Mouth and Jay about Layla's ring skills. The pay per view match was far from perfect, but if Kelly Kelly is the standard, then Layla is the new Trish. I actually thought her match tonight was booked well, and I don't have a problem with her being the top diva moving forward, or at least until Kharma comes back.

2 out of 10 for me. They had to move mountains to make up for that debacle finish at the PPV and all we got is HHH, who like in the big Punk angle last year, injected himself once again into another big storyline. Sorry, its too late. Looking forward to Punk/Bryant match as the only saving grace. Cena's ending promo made it worse as he continued the stand up comedy act after getting brutalized. I swear the WWE could have Bruce Lee in his prime come into the WWE and "F" it up.

The way laurinitis is running raw it feels like Eric bischoff and the NWO all over again only 15 years later especially with the beatdown on cena at the end with tensai and sakumoto. I don't know what to think about the lesnar triple h thing to kick it off kinda weird if u ask me that lesnar would snap on trips cuz he didn't get his way. Cmon Brock grow the fuck up. Tag title change ment nothing. Punk and bryan should be good depending on how they set it up but with Bryan so hot right now it may not matter. I'll give it a nate milton 6 outta 10. Thx guys keep up the awesome work.

Only parts I watched on Raw was the Brock Lesnar segment and the ending segment with John Larinitis giving Cena the work (a term we say in Atlanta) with Tensai. The only things that keep me watching WWE are when they bring back the old attitude era stars i watched growing up but Cena vs. Larinitis does seem interesting. I'm waiting for Brock to come back and murder everyone beat CM Punk for the title at Summerslam and face Taker at Wrestlemania.

It's so goddam stupid what they are doing with Lesnar that I am starting to complain to people who don't wath wrestling. I was expecting Johnny Ace to bring back Lesnar and place him in the beat the clock challenge since he injured Hunter. But no now it looks like he is going to be off TV for a while and fucking super Cena is okay and will be back for the next pay per view. How is this even close to logical. The only good thing to come out of this Raw is Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk and I am looking forward to that. Horrible raw 2 out of 10 Fuck this company.

So Cena's opponent after beating the biggest ppv draw in the world is John mother fucking Tensai?? When this ppv tanks, I am pretty sure that they will blame Punk and Bryan. I can't possibly fathom how seasoned vets like HHH, Taker, heck even Cena would allow Vince to give the go ahead to have Brock lose his first match. It almost feels like all of the head honchos backstage are financially set for life and just don't care about the business anymore. ALLLLLL of the UFC fans that bought the ppv last night and the few that stuck around for raw are GONEEEEEE...and are never eeeeeeeever coming back.

Thumbs up for Extreme Rules and a thumbs up for cena for being a trooper. not too many guys would say "ok open me up hardway" especially when its brock lesnar.
From a hot crowd in chicago to a dull crowd in Ohio or wherever this was, the wrestleamnia high is over and now we are back to the same boring thing until they do something in the summer that gains interest.
The night Lesnar returned i said HHH will stick his nose in it. dare i say more. next he'll try to get in with daniel bryan. Hope im wrong and he adds to the storyline in a way that doesnt bury anybody. i will say that i like punk vs bryan at over the limit and cena vs johnny will be interesting. this might be the only opponent for cena where he'll get 90% or more cheers. thought cena was taking time off? Must have gotten leaked out. I like the beat the clock challenge instead of someone coming out, cutting a promo and receiving a title shot. Layla should have been in the beat the clock with the quick win against former diva twins.Still waiting for Kharma. Why is Brodus facing JTG at the top of the hour? Fans just tuning in definetly were hooked. Funny seeing the ref being all confused for jericho vs show. watching kane vs khali for 4minutes should be considered as attempted murder as i contemplated killing myself. the show didnt need to go for an extra almost 15 mins.
extreme rules gets 9/10 raw gets 6/10
