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

So last night/morning my Raw was on right after everyone else's for some odd reason, but i did like the show. I think they could make Reigns a Batista type of character, i mean come on he hardly talks at first and has a spear and a power bomb. If i had to choose from 1-3 on who i like the best out of the three i would go with Ambrose, Reigns, Rollins so far. Winter Meetings might make me a little not interested for next weeks Raw but i will definitely record it though.

Also after the show Ryback did not compete in the dark match or the match did not happen because he sold the beat down.

Last night's Raw dark match main event did not take place as Ryback continued to sell the beat down he received at the hands of The Shield. The show ended with Ryback eventually recovering from the attack and then slowly making his way to the back.

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.

The nWo had 11 different incarnations and the original version totaled 25 members over its course. (All these numbers are in total,not at one time.)

nWo Japan had 15.

nWo Hollywood had 19.

nWo Wolfpac had 9.

nWo Elite had 12.

nWo Black and White had 7.

nWo 2000 had 7.

nWo WWE 1 had 3.

nWo WWE 2 had 4.

nWo WWE 3 had 5.

nWo WWE 4 had 4.

The bWo had 8 and bWo Japan had 3.

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....

"Big Bossman knockoffs".... That's a damn good analogy! I like it! Never thought of that. Good job!

I dunno, this storyline just isn't doing it for me yet. Sorta reminds me of when Punk left the announce table and revealed he was the Nexus leader, which was pretty good, actually.

But this, eh..... Guess time will tell.

And as an aside, holy crap this was awesome/dangerous:

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

2.7 overall rating.

First hour did a 2.9.
Shield = ratings.

Last hour tanked to a 2.5.

Viewers by hour...
Hour 1: 4,147,000
Hour 2: 4,126,000
Hour 3: 3,488,000

Have a bunch of people forgotten the show is 3 hours long?

Perhaps they should have a Punk/Cena Iron Man match on the Raw after TLC to see if it's because of Punk or something else.

Three hours is simply too long.

[BattleBornLV]

Three hours just seems like they're trying to force it on us. I remember back when wcw thought going three hours for nitro was a good idea......cough

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

well i got to be honest. i really liked the Ryback Punk fued. i thought their match at HIAC was very entertaining before the referee interference. and i just think Ryback is the type of character that creates a nice Power vs Speed matchup of styles with Punk. Ryback has played the part very well, and really gets pissed, and i think we got to give Ryback some credit for really being a legit force in the WWE. however...i am disappointed in where WWE has gone with this fued. the brad maddox referee interference thing was not good even for WWE standards. and then the NXT guys interfering in the triple threat match with cena. then in the interview this week on raw with michael cole their reasons for interfering, their reasons for doing what they did, how it was injustice that Punk had to defend the title in a triple threat match!

the reasons the NXT guys gave is so weak!! ohh the triple threat match was so unfair? how about how unfair it was to Ryback that he got low blowed by a ref, and didn't even get a 1 on 1 re-match with Punk? i mean isn't that much more unfair then Punk being put in a triple threat title match? hasn't their been plenty of champions that fought in a triple threat? the problem with these angles is they are so over the top, even for WWE. if they really want to make a big deal of Punk being champion for as long as he has, then script a way for Punk to beat Ryback fair and square, or at least without any help. so now, we get Ryback vs Punk in a TLC match. so, again we still aren't getting a real 1 on 1 match where you have to win via pinfall or submission. you know what i mean?

all these shenanigans, and we still haven't gotten a real actual re-match from HIAC. in the TLC, what's to stop these NXT guys again to interfere and take out Ryback so Punk can climb a ladder and grab the title? i mean do any of you actually think Ryback will win this match? i don't, and i hope WWE proves me wrong and Ryback somehow wins it. but for what it's worth, that Ryback vs Punk HIAC match was the first time in a long time i really had that little bit of doubt to who would win. because i knew there could be no outside interference with the HIAC. it just seems like Ryback has no chance in this TLC match with a match between CM Punk vs the Rock booked for Royal Rumble. and then after this match, if Punk grabs the title, it's hard to see CM Punk facing Ryback again. because then Punk will have "beaten" Ryback 3 times. and yet still he would not have pinned Ryback in a 1 on 1 match (without interference) to retain. Punk is much more agile then Ryback and can probably climb a ladder faster then Ryback. i thought it would ahve really served well to have 2 or 3 real classics with Ryback, even if Punk won them, but they were the kind of matches he had in ROH, lets say a 30 or 40 minute match or two with Ryback that really had the fans on the edge of their seat, with kickouts, momentum shifts, but then Ryback got tired from having to be in a long match or something, then i'd totally respect Punk that much more.

Yeah it's getting to the point where unless I know something big is going to happen i'm gonna resort to just recording and watching later if it's even worth it to watch.

3 hours is too much to invest at times when several parts of the show just isn't worth watching

That's what I've done since the 3-hour time slot took over.

Probably takes me an hour, hour and a half to get through a show.

So much recapping and utter crap to fill time. Have to do this and have been for quite sometime as well. I pretty much have watched only Punk and AJ segments for awhile now. The Bryan/Kane stuff was funny for a bit but I'm getting tired of that too. Its tough, they didn't have enough to make 2 hours entertaining and with 3 it just feels like too much.
