    Yeah. I didn't even think of watching it. Seems I didn't miss much.

      But that's just it, it was a weak "heel turn" promo. Ryback should be attacking the shield rather then getting pissed at Cena for not saving him when the shield attacked him. It was only a heel turn because Ryback went against John Cena, the face of the company. The fans were cheering both Ryback and Cena, but then the fans had to choose between Cena and Ryback.

      the belt kinda was the basis for the Ryback "heel turn". if Cena wasn't champ, Ryback wouldn't have turned heel by going after Cena. he went after Cena mainly because he seeks the WWE title, and Cena was the champ. the shield were the ones who prevented Ryback from becoming champ in the past, not Cena. this is why the Ryback - Cena fued is lacking substance. it's confusing the WWE universe. Ryback should be pissed at the shield more then anyone.

      when you're supposedly an indestructible force, a supposed lone warrior like Ryback, it's petty and unmanly to blame Cena for not rescuing him instead of going after the shield, the ones who were repeatedly attacking him. it's too convoluted. the best rivalries and fueds are the organic ones that come about due to character differences and simple storylines. Ryback himself was supposed to team up with Orton and Sheamus to take on the shield, but then was put into a fued with Henry at the expense of the fued with the shield. It's a lot of missed opportunities for relevant meaningful story lines to make way for forced fueds with little to no substance.
      Not going to argue that Ryback should be ignoring The Shield (because clearly he should still be upset with them)...maybe he figured he couldn't beat them?
      I'd still argue it's less about the title than Ryback just feeling betrayed by Cena, unless I missed a promo explaining his title aspirations somewhere; which is entirely possible considering how much I've tuned out in the past month.

      The feud sucks any way you slice it though.

                Rating is down under 3.0 again.
                At this point I direct you to a post I made in January in a topic that I don't remember,probably the Rumble topic in the week leading up to the event.

                        There was one really good Raw. The one w/ the crowd. And it went downhill from there. But I think the couple Raw before that were pretty weak too.

                          Yeah even the build to Wrestlemania was pretty meh this year, the Raw after Wrestlemania was amazing and WWE managed to kill all that momentum quickly.

                          It has been a chore to get through Raw the last few weeks even watching the following day and fast forwarding through commercials, with Ziggler out now its even worse as that was about the only match I was looking forward to at Extreme Rules. I'll be skipping out on buying Extreme Rules and I'm really glad I didn't buy tickets like I was going to when they first went on sale, opted to wait and see the card and am I ever happy I did (only matches I have any interest in at all are Shield going for the belts and Fandango/Jericho).
                          Favorite Teams:
                          NCAA- University of Illinois Fighting Illini
                          NFL- Cleveland Browns
                          MLB- St. Louis Cardinals
                          NBA- Boston Celtics
                          NHL- Chicago Blackhawks

                              That's an odd way of putting it, considering the circumstances.

                              I'm sure Ziggler would rather be in at Extreme Rules.
