I'm not big on being a conspiracy theorist but I can't help but feel like that's all Triple H because you don't see segments where the wrestlers were praising any of the other matches including the most hyped up match on the card being that of Cena/Rock.

Yeah.

I get why they do that sort of thing as they are building to WM, especially when it's a rematch of the previous year. I'm not always a fan of those segments, but I get why they'd do them. I also would have understood doing it last week on the first show after the match. I don't get doing that on a random episode of RAW when neither guy is going to be out there any time soon. It was just a DVD extra that they showed for no real reason and felt like a waste of a segment.

Nice opening segment

Cena vs Lesnar at Extreme Rules already eh?

Yeah, it was good and the fact that it was something different instead of just people talking it made it better.

Good tag team match very enjoyable.

Loved that reaction from Cena with Johnny Ace and the dig at The Rock was awesome. I wish this Cena would be around more often, and hopefully from here on out he will be.

Another team Reks/Hawkins that could be amazing if tag teams were given an opportunity to shine once again.

It was a fun tag match but too short. I'd really like to see more of Swagger vs Clay.

Santino and the Stooges was fucking stupid, but still funny. The "Mobra" got a little chuckle from the wife. Overall it was just a waste of time actually.

I enjoyed it. And I liked the fake Stooges more than the real Stooges with Curly Joe.

dont look now, Otunga's a decent in ring worker

I know!

His posing in the middle of the match was ridiculous, but it fit him so well.

I really enjoyed the opening of Raw. I could've used a bit less of Cena smiling, but this is the type of intensity I would've liked to have seen during the Rock feud. I'm also surprised they are doing Rock/Lesnar at Extreme Rules. I guess they don't want to lose the momentum from Wrestlemania.

The only thing that would've made that opening better would've been "If you smellllllll what the Rock is cooking" or Stone Cold's glass breaking.

Yeah, the smiling is so annoying.

Disappointed that Brodus' push is at Ziggler's expense. Ziggler needs to be moved to the main event, not being fodder for the comedy acts.

Ziggler taking that suplex was amazing!

They should move him to Smackdown and really push him. I don't see it happening on Raw.

So each week Cody will fight a black dude, then get distracted, then lose as a result?

I can back this, though it can't go beyond the next PPV because there's not enough guys on the roster for this.

Also, Show pointing out a video of Show pointing out a video is like looking into a mirror pointed at another mirror.

Lesnar's little speech is a lot better than a lot of what he used to do, but it's still too much talking for him, IMO.

I really hope he can go back to being one of the best in ring power guys of all time.

Yeah, I liked it too.

[misac]

I don't know if we need everyone talking about how amazing HHH vs Undertaker was for a full segment.

I also don't know how I feel about the throwback Smackdown tomorrow. Oh wait, i know exactly how I feel about it, it's going to be boring for the most part if there's too mucha bout old guys. It also seems a bit out of character for Ace, even with his Power to the People stuff.

I didn't watch Mania but JR's commentary made me really want to watch.

I know Cena wanted to make Otunga look decent, and he just got in a big fight a couple hours ago, but I would have much preferred if Otunga just got crushed like Yoshi against Tensai. Cena should have ran him over like a runaway train, IMO.

That said, Otunga is a little better in the ring. Still not good, but a little better.

Lesnar jumping Cena was obvious, but still fun.

I was surprised there were some boos (or what sounded like boos anyways) mixed in with the crowd reaction. Lesnar is kind of a heel, but not too much so IMO. He's come across as a monster, he's beating Cena up, and even though he's working for Ace he just seems like a beast again. Add in the fact he's a popular returning guy, and that seems like a recipe for a guy the crowd would almost unanimously cheer.

I think it was the low blow. Maybe the crowd thought that even Cena doesn't deserve that.

Good call.

Scott Hall got arrested again. :/

Scott Hall got arrested again. :/

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say alcohol was involved.

Hall makes me so sad. One of my favorite wrestlers as a kid, but damn has he made some awful choices.
