Raw 04/08/13 - The champ IS here...you CAN see him!

Re: Raw 04/08/13 - The champ IS here...you CAN see him!

Great RAW and what looks to be a great National Championship.

I am really excited for next week in the first time in god knows how long. I really wonder where this Henry/Ryback/Cena thing is going to fall out. It seems that Ryback is the pure face, Henry is the pure heel, and Cena is the tweener. Its gonna be real interesting to see the reactions they get next week.

It was great to finally see Ziggler cash in, I just don't know where he fits into this Swagger/ADR angle. They could turn him face and have him face Swagger straight up. I would hate to see them give up on Swagger so early plus ADR has outgrown the World Title it seems. I just don't know if Ziggler can pull off being a consistent face yet. He really does have a heel's style through and through.

I really don't think so. If they were ever going to flip him to heel, it would have been last night. It was the perfect stage and the perfect opportunity to do it. Instead they literally did the opposite.

Yeah and he's been too busy cracking lame heel turn jokes. I think it's setting up an eventual Ryback turn.

That was before the whole Rock incident so the story line changed . Cena had been more cocky lately like his old days a bit . Ry isn't a heel or full heel right now he's stuck in that Goldberg role sort of . In this case Cena is a tweener lowkey

That was a Ryback turn. It just didn't seem like it because the crowd was cheering.

Ryback, a face, just needlessly attacked the top face after shaking his hand. That's classic heel turn.

So uh... is that a heel turn? Idk how to take it because of the crowd reaction lol.

I dont think that was a turn. More of a I want the belt sucka. Ryback hasnt really picked a side, he just wants food.

That might have been the best RAW that I have seen in a long time. From Cena's "heel turn" dance (and overall good promo), the crowd, Ziggler finally cashing in, Ryback planting Cena (I knew Mark Henry was just a distraction, but expected Lesnar) just so much fun. I love my fellow NY/NJ wrestling fans. I thought they were going to roast Fan-Dan-Gooooo, but they just had fun with singing is song. BTW, Kofi needs a fresh start...maybe join the shield?

Not sure you can turn Ryback heel by attacking Cena. Cena is too polarizing. You may have to have him punt Hornswaggle or something. Ryback will still get half the support from any crowd. You know when he came our, the live crowd was salivating at the prospect of him turning on Cena. Maybe it's what they are going for. I am a big Ryback fan so I am glad to see him going against the champ.

My only problem with Raw was Zack Ryder. The guy is basically in his backyard...he could have finished the match with his signature moves and a little woo...woo...woo. Give the guy a moment...

I have been bored with the WWE in recent months, but this RAW injected a little life.

Re: Raw 04/08/13 - The champ IS here...you CAN see him!

I think Ryback is still face you guys , doesn't make sense to have 3 muscle head heels . Brock who is turning face in a few months , Henry and then Ry . Ry isn't built for full heel turn yet . Cena is the heel in this case like just like the whole Rock and Cena crap

Got caught up in the game, lol

Did Henry win?

I know Ziggler cashed in finally but I gotta give the night to Fandango. The crowd just got him so much burn with the higher ups. I dont think anyone's music has been sang by the crowd when 'prompted', randomly during the segment and again well after the segment.

If history is any indication they'll edit out the crowd doing that if it happens again on Smackdown tomorrow.

Never seen a heel turn where the new heel started his chant and the crowd so willingly obliged afterwards.

We've never seen a crowd sing the wordless theme music of a heel either. Just crazy **** tonight man.

You know what I think intrigues me most coming out of that Raw, non-crowd related? Undertaker/The Shield.

Is Taker going to wrestle at Extreme Rules? God, it would be awesome to have him around for more than a match a year.

Although, and this is in no way fair, the expectation level for all of his matches is through the damn roof now.
