Raw 03/03/14: #hijackraw begins.

The first third of Raw was amazing. Heyman's Punk fakeout, promo, and Brock trying to be intimidating was great. Henry did what he's been doing for the last half-year, so meh.

Shield and Wyatts was great again. Really wouldn't mind that 6-man tag in a Hell in a Cell at Mania. Or another TLC match like in 2012.

With all the hype around Reigns, people forget how ****ing amazing Seth Rollins can be. Think he was the star of the night.

I really liked Cena's promo, working the Chicago crowd and saying that the young talent has to go through him. Think we could see a Cena/Reigns feud in the near-future once the Shield splits.

Didn't like the ending. Just more of Bryan getting **** on. I'd rather Bryan just clear house one of these nights to end the show, take out Orton, take out Batista, and hit the knee on HHH, pissing him off and accepting his challenge for 'Mania.

You know...I hate to bring this up again but sometimes im wondering if there holding off on the DB vs HHH match because there could be a very slim chance Punk comes back??? I just feel they would have announced this by now

I'm a big Punk fan, but if he's not back by next week, he's gone for the foreseeable future.

I'd love for him to come back but he's probably done with the company.

Makes sense, but if he's not back by next week then I really don't know what WWE does because clearly there's zero interest in Orton-Batista one-on-one.

The ship has sailed on Punk returning for WrestleMania. And to be honest I would hate to see him return for or at the show. Which is why I was thrilled to not see him last night. Did not want Raw to become the CM Punk show last night, just like I don't want Mania to become all about him.

To be completely honest WWE hasn't missed a step with him gone. He's not as important to the product as some of his fans and him like to believe.

Great RAW.

Opening segment was perfect until Lesnar opened his mouth. God, that guy is terrible.

Glad to see the Usos win. They've improved a lot in their time, and I like that they were rewarded.

Cesaro/Big E/Swagger stuff was good if not predictable. I think Swagger is worthless so I'm glad they'll be breaking up soon.

Wyatts/Shield was phenomenal, as to be expected.

Christian/Sheamus doesn't have much "consequence", but it was still a good match and I was really angry with the treatment they got from those *******s in the crowd. These guys with their self-important trash are going to ruin wrestling. The very worst parts of the online wrestling community is manifesting itself on-screen. It's awful and is starting to make me resent watching. I can live with the douchification online but I can't when I'm actually indulging the product. I guess it reflects the time we live in, where everyone thinks they're an expert and everyone wants to put themselves over and have an inflated sense of importance.

Loved the promo with Stephanie/HHH/Bryan. Stephanie was dropping bombs on him, and they were all true. Fantastic. Loved HHH tweaking the crowd as only he can. How anyone thinks he/the company is oblivious to what the fans want is completely beyond me. Literally laughed out loud multiple times, including when he said "I'm 90% sure even she would kick your ***."

Ending was great too. It hurts, doesn't it, annoying Chicago fans? You chant all night for your hero and---poof---the show ends and your knight doesn't come out. You wait to explode with glee but you return home in sadness. Your plan to "hijack RAW"? Kaput. You were played by the masters.

The house *always* wins.

Always.

Re: Raw 03/03/14: #hijackraw begins.

My only gripes with this Raw are that Cody and Goldust suddenly don't have anything to do anymore (and I'm not only saying it for fantasy reasons) and that Barrett couldn't find bad news.

Loved the show, WWE hijacked the hijacking in spectacular fashion and the result was incredible. Seth Rollins is gonna be a better version of Jeff Hardy if he keeps this up.

Wasn't last night the perfect time to say 'I'm afraid I've got some bad news!'?

Great show overall. Furious with the crap that Sheamus and Christian got for putting on what was a pretty damn decent effort. Loved the aggressive post-match beat down by Christian.

Yeah even though he's a whiny bi*** I wanted Punk to come back, but in the end I'm glad he didn't because why should WWE pander to Chicago?

Money in the Bank 2011 had an amazing crowd, but now Chicago thinks it's better than WWE. Yes for the most part the crowd was actually great last night, but they couldn't hide the over-smarky nonsense all the time.

Paige vs Emma or AJ can't come soon enough. Give Emma a match where she can properly show what she can do.

Loved the ending. HHH sold the crap out of that single kick, it was brilliant.

Also I thought Lesnar's promo was actually quite good. Not on Heyman's level but certainly not terrible by any means.

Slightly surprised Taker was a no-show but there you go.

I hope they keep up the momentum of the last couple of weeks going until the big dance!

To me it looks more and more like D Bryan vs HHH with a chance to be added to the title match for Mania.

I read a rumor where Bryan might work double duty at the PPV

Re: Raw 03/03/14: #hijackraw begins.

Here's some food for thought...if Punk had never left and continued to build towards his feud with HHH, where would Bryan be right now? I feel like Punk leaving was the best thing to happen to professional wrestling in a while.

Orton attacking Bryan last night pretty much convinced me that he is going to somehow find himself in the title match. They really did nothing at all inn terms of building Batista vs Orton except having Batista throw Bryan in to Orton during his match

Re: Raw 03/03/14: #hijackraw begins.

Honestly I don't think WWE knows what to do with Batista

When Batista came back I was hoping for a Batista vs Lesnar for Mania but were going to get Taker vs Lesnar which I love

I'm just waiting for Roman Reigns to break from the Shield also Seth Rollins

I know I was the only one but I thought the Divas Division was getting interesting but then it just DIED AGAIN I still love the Divas tho

Daniel Bryan is my guy but I didn't like Him referring to the crowd after every sentence almost

What I don't like about WWE right now is how they KNOW they have alot of young talent / good mid carders/possibly main Eventers but they fail to use them

What happened to Kofi

I love that the USOS have the Tag Team titles but knowing WWE they'll have them lose then there will be no more USOS SMH

Also Stephanie looks soooo damn fine last night

Rumor has it, the WWE was ready for Daniel Bryan and Sheamus to start a feud that would end with them fighting at WrestleMania.

Re: Raw 03/03/14: #hijackraw begins.

I'm sorry, but I have to vent. This is not directed at anyone. Just me venting and I would like to hear your viewpoints.

Everyone calling Punk a "quitter" I disagree with.

Let's say you busted your *** at your job for years, never called sick and did whatever the boss ordered. A promotion has just came up at your job and you and another guy who you like (Daniel Bryan) are the top candidates for the job and rightfully so. You go through the interview process and everything goes great. Then all of the sudden, a guy that hasn't worked at your job comes back after a long time and they suddenly decide to give him the promotion, even though you are way more qualified. Then the next year the promotion comes up again, and the same thing happens. Wouldn't you feel like quitting your job? CM Punk just had the cajones to do it.


End of Vent.

Not sure if someone has brought this up but if you're upset with the direction your job is going, you act professional and grown up and you give two weeks notice so your company can plan for you leaving. ESPECIALLY around Wrestlemania time, you need to give them time to come up with other plans instead of leaving and not letting them know. If I got passed over for a promotion for someone who was less deserving over and over, I would give two weeks notice and then leave to where I'm more appreciated not screw over the rest of my coworkers I liked and make them suffer while everyone is scrambling to replace you.

Re: Raw 03/03/14: #hijackraw begins.

I've said this before and I'll say it again...if I was financially stable enough to not work another day the rest of my life and I was burned out with my job and/or getting frustrated with what was happening, I would leave and not look back.
