What about Steve Nash?

Who's that?

Re: Raw 10/01/12 - nomnomnom

Anyone want to sum up the ending for me?

Literally nothing happened.

But to be more specific, AJ ordered Vickie and Heyman to leave ringside, Ziggler chased after Vickie leaving Punk alone, Bryan and Kane win, show over.

And I bet that hyena bitch was shrieking until the very end?

Them faces AJ was making during the match was great.

It was a "lets just get a first down and move the chains" Raw.

And that moment when the camera showed her... uhh YEAH those faces!

For those of you who were expecting shattering glass...

I was in a bar in Mexico watching the football game. Word on the street was some low end piece of trash was talking smack on #WWE RAW. #SCSA

LOL @ Raw running a "Conservative Offense".

I can picture Vince saying, "Let's just do enough to get the hell out of OKC and speed this 3 hrs up".

Re: Raw 10/01/12 - nomnomnom

I guess I just haven't seen enough of him, or maybe I've "matured" as a wrestling fan (if that's even possible..), but I don't like Ryback being put into the WWE title picture, yet.

The Goldberg comparisons are too easy, so I won't go there. Constantly letting Ryback squash established guys just doesn't do it for me. (which is weird because I loved when Goldberg & even Lesnar did it, but I was also younger then, and that appealed to me more than the Jericho/Benoit/Angle type guys).

That being said, at least Goldberg was dominating the roster for almost a year before he was finally thrust into the World title picture. And he had a lengthy U.S. title reign before (including a lengthy feud with Raven and his flock). Had Ryback feuded with Miz for a while (maybe a few DQs for Miz to retain the title, until he finally got beat cleanly at a PPV) and had a reign as Intercontinental champion, maybe I would buy into it more. But, I just don't think he's the answer for the WWE right now. Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing him end Sheamus' God awful reign, and have a stint as World Heavyweight champ, but I just don't think he is face of the business material, yet.

I don't know. Like I said, maybe I'm just a different type of wrestling fan than I was at 8 years old when Goldberg burst onto my television. Now, I love guys like Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Damian Sandow (after tonight), but I'm just not impressed with Ryback yet. First off, the character itself still seems a little too mid-90s WWF to me. Cheesy and too PG. "Feed Me More" just doesn't resonate with me like "Who's Next?" or "Here Comes The Pain".

Re: Raw 10/01/12 - nomnomnom

It did seem pretty quiet in the crowd for just about everyone but Daniel Bryan and Ryback after he "saved" JR. We get way too many kids, who were all disappointed when they announced before the show that Cena wasn't there, and too many people more interested in shouting Boomer Sooner in our wrestling crowds here.

The coolest part of the show was the real JR Appreciation Night after the show went off the air. They had Vince, HHH, Danny Hodge, Bill Watts, a video from Bob Stoops, a video from Lawler, and a salute by the whole roster. It was pretty cool.

Also, going to OKC was a botch too. Crowd is horrible.

You would think they'd be more live with how crazy the Thunder crowd is.

Re: Raw 10/01/12 - nomnomnom

Just a thought about the ending... Was it supposed to be a "cm punk is all alone, he can't trust anyone, nobody has his back" moment, or am I reading too much into it and it was just a weak raw?

[Redacted01]

Re: Raw 10/01/12 - nomnomnom

Crowd was fine... when Ryback was out there. He is getting the Goldberg treatment, which is great. Haven't seen something like this for awhile. I as well think it is too soon. The IC belt is a must... and maybe it'll finally mean something again. Nah, who am I kidding. And he'd end up having to lose it... unless they are using the Goldberg script and the IC belt is just taken so he doesn't lose.

However, feuding at the top doesn't mean he has to get a title shot. I'm sure CM Punk can pull some "You haven't earned it" strings and he stay out of it and is merely a piece of the puzzle. Probably all depends on what is going on with Cena.

Re: Raw 10/01/12 - nomnomnom

Punk decides to fight Cena because he is more scared of The Ryback.

Punk loses.

Bigger picture.

I've been to lots of Thunder games. That's a completely different crowd. Plus, they get nearly 20,000 a game in there. Last night, the top sections were closed off, and most sections on the off-camera side were half-full at best. I'd guess the attendance was something like 7,000-8,000. Even if everyone had been trying, matching the Thunder's crowd in noise would've been impossible.
