That very much furthered the Shield/Punk angle.

By what doing the exact same boring way to end the show basically that they did last week?

It wasn't the same at all. This time you had had Punk helping. Was he just getting an easy shot at Ryback or is he secretly aligned with Shield? It's a slow burn, they're slowing advancing the story buy adding things in very small increments and it is the proven and proper way to build quality stars and feuds.

They showed the Ryder reaction after Cena kissed Eve just now on The Soup.

I was honestly laughing myself to tears as the camera slowly panned over. That just does not get old.

LOL at Daniel Bryan "I guess this is why DeNiro doesn't watch his own movies" after that clip. This episode is awesome.

I like Ambrose's look alot. And he's comfortable speaking. You can see that easily.

Rollins not so much talking. I feel a pseudo Morrison mic work in what little he said. But he didn't say much so I'm looking forward to hearing him more.

And Reigns, he feels the the Batista Evolution role. Sit back and be the muscle guy. I think his shtick should be always announcing that he is ready to talk, followed by saying a 4 word sentence and walking off.



Btw what did 3mb do tonight. I don't rememebered seeing them. I look forward to them being squashed by the sheild soon enough.

Edit: remembered? I need to get some sleep.

Re: Raw 11/26/12 - "Any man with a microphone can tell you what he loves the most"

Wrestling on this show was top notch.
All in all, probably the best RAW in quite some time.

Agreed on both counts. A bunch of good matches and we finally got Mysterio/Bryan. Now I want a 15-20 minute PPV quality one.

Sheamus truly deserves more props for having good-great matches with everyone he wrestles.

They did exactly what they should be doing.

They watched the show from the locker room.

They were posting on twitter and tout (from what I read) throughout the night about their time out on the town.

and bigbob, 3MB is awesome and you know it.

Glad to see 3 WWE Superstars in the ring on the video that ChaseB posted.

I fast forward through their matches.

The only time I couldn't even deal with Slater was whenever he was getting squashed by legends.

Sucks watching an hour behind in Canada (for now… soon it’ll be 15 minutes).

- Ryback was the best he’s been on the mic yet (not saying much). Fewer references to food and hunger, and whatnot can go a long way.

- To answer the question of the last jobber I cheered for…
Not a fair question. How does one choose between Stan Stanski and Arthur Rosenberg??

- WWE Poll HAD to have been rigged. DB’s blue map and saying they don’t poll hell was priceless as was Kane’s response. I hate faces more than anyone here, and these two continue to entertain me every week. Just amazing chemistry.

- Ambrose was amazing as expected and I really liked Reigns (which surprised me). As I think about it, Ohno wouldn’t have been a good fit as I think he’d of clashed with Ambrose. These guys complement each other well. The technician, the silent muscle, and the mic man. Good trio. Rollins should take his cues from Roman and speak a lot less. Great segment though. I’m not a fan of the name, the outfits or even their gimmick as “righters of injustice”, but I’m excited for the group. I wish they were cutting impromptu promos while escaping through the crowd or taking over the show instead of sitting in a studio with mics on across from Cole, but these are minor complaints overall.

- A LOT of good matches tonight. Cesaro who I’ve been especially critical of was especially awesome (still hate his character).

- I LOVE Ziggler losing and OS going up in arms calling the bookers stupid and talking about him never winning clean when he went over twice on Orton clean and beat the Miz on Main Event. Sometimes wrestlers lose. Especially heels. Your favorite guy can't win every night.

- The ending was cool enough. I like Ryback as the Hulk-like (Incredible, not Hogan though both apply I guess) super hero feuding with The Shield. I like the idea of the super stable (Punk, Heyman, Maddox, Shield). I'd have Ambrose be Punk's hand-picked protege in the group but s-l-o-w-l-y have his psychotic tendencies make him too crazy for even The Shield eventually leading to his split from the group. It'd be very interesting to have a split where everyone remains heel and no one turns face (like in Evolution with Batista and Orton's awful runs).

Re: Raw 11/26/12 - "Any man with a microphone can tell you what he loves the most"

At first I didn't want them to be with Punk.
Now I hope they are so at Elimination Chamber instead of 2 EC's they can have 1 EC for Smackdown and War Games for Raw.

Re: Raw 11/26/12 - "Any man with a microphone can tell you what he loves the most"

For some reason Punk leaping over the barricade when Ryback first entered was hilarious.

Also, I like The Shield's look, even if it is a bunch of Big Bossman knockoffs. The name however, not so much....

Re: Raw 11/26/12 - "Any man with a microphone can tell you what he loves the most"

I still think this is ultimately going to end up with a mega faction with Punk, Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns, Maddox, and Heyman.

Having watched wrestling for ages, I find it hilarious that a group of 5 people and a manager is a "mega faction". That's what we've come to. That's a stable. We never called DX a mega faction. The corporate ministry is a mega faction, if only for having Viscera and Bearer together (technically they were together in the ministry, but again, that was a stable of 5-8 people for the most part).

Semantics dude. We're saying "mega faction" in the sense that the group would be doubling in size with Heyman, Maddox, and Punk (one more if you add Lesnar part time). We never called Nexus a mega faction either and they had 7-8 members. So I don't necessarily think there is a numerical cutoff point (ala your example of the corporate ministry). This faction would only be "mega" in comparison to what it is currently. I think that's all that is meant. Also, it'd be more "mega" in terms of star power, netting the defending, reigning WWE Champion. Some might call a potential heel team of Cena, Punk, and Lesnar a mega faction due to the sheer star power, but then again we might have to break out the OS scientists.

Re: Raw 11/26/12 - "Any man with a microphone can tell you what he loves the most"

So say these guys aren't working for Punk, they are working for Heyman instead. They are named The Shield. Heyman has another client with a sword on his chest.

The Shield and The Sword. And maybe Punk won't take too kindly to being left out in the dark about it.
