HH-Evolution Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think Jimmy must be pretty happy with the return of MAAAAHK HEEEENREEEH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Loved how Cena, Ryback and Sheamus did a "Shield" on The Shield. Have to say that since I've started watching wrestling again the wrestlers that have caught my eye have been Dolph and Seth Rollins. Loving the Shield so far.

Edgehead Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Was good to see Jack Swagger & I did mark out a little when Mark Henry's music hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatherof10minis Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I jumped out my seat for Mark Henry, that was a badass return. Brock fu##ed Miz up good and i have to say I kinda liked it cause it was the Miz. Heyman was awesome yet again. Punk/jericho was great match and punks opening to the show was awesome. Is anyone disappointed besides me that the "champ" no showed? This is what disappoints me about someone getting a belt on a part time workload. Rock needs to be on every raw building towards mania at this point IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I worry this is the start of The Shield being Nexus-ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrchris Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I dunno. This was more the good guys saying "we're onto your tricks now". What really needs to happen is for the Shield to escalate it a level next week. I'd have them take folks out backstage one by one instead of all coming through the crowd for a change, just to prove that NOWHERE is safe from the Shield. But then I'd also do crazy stuff like have someone attacked at home or in their hotel room by the Shield, just to really put across that you can never be truly safe from them. Come on WWE spies, you listen to Jimmy's stuff all the time, how about listening to one of my ideas instead of just stealing my tag team name? :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canned Heat Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Punk was fine to start the show. OH MY GOD WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? IS JACK SWAGGER BACK? WOW! HE DOESN'T HAVE A COMB OVER ANYMORE AND HIS GEAR IS BLACK! WHAT A BMF'ER! NO. You suck and so does your gimmick. Get completely new gear and become a face. Because that is the only way you will get over. Vickie is the most talentless performer the WWE has EVER signed. She talks like she is reading off of a teleprompter and she has trouble reading. Why do you assign the worst talker in history to a job where all she does is talk? She makes me want to turn the channel and never turn back. Jericho vs Punk was awesome. Best WWE match of 2013? I'd say so. "Sit down, Marks!" I'm being completely honest when I say this: Brad Maddox absolutely blew me away tonight. Push this guy to the moon. I also really liked Big Show tonight. Some really good AE type stuff, which this whole feud has really been built on. Tying guys up and beating the crap out of them? Check. Waiting it the parking lot? Check. Brawl at an off site hotel? Check. I also REALLY liked The Shield segment with Ryback, Cena, and Sheamus. REALLY LIKED IT. Until the end, when they just ran away after some corner brawling. I would have liked for all of the Shield members to take a finisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Aside from a handful of cool moments, this show was pretty boring to me. I enjoyed Punk, Brock and Brad Maddox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaran The King Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Really enjoyed Raw this week:) Rhodes/ADR, Rey/Bryan, Ryback/Cesaro, Orton/Barrett, Kane/ Sheamus, Punk/Jericho, Brock, Henry, Punk and our new WWE Champion The Ro.....oh yeah that's right the WWE Champion didn't appear. For the guys that did show they made Raw a very enjoyable 3hrs:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Is it me or did Maddox talk like Baine at some key points of his promo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPIB Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 I couldn't help but notice the lack of Dolph Ziggler, AJ Lee, & Big E. Langston on the show. Don't tell me they are giving up on Dolph again. Giving up on Big E. Langston, I would understand, but not Dolph. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that they are keeping Ziggler off of TV to try and take him out of the fans' consciousness to set him up to cash in at Elimination Chamber to win the title. When it comes to The Rock, we will all have to get used to the WWE Champion (*shudders*) not appearing in the WWE as he is not scheduled to appear at all for the entire month of March from what I've read. In a perfect world, Rock would drop the title at Elimination Chamber, but this is the WWE we're talking about, so I expect them to go forward with Rock vs. Cena II for the title at WrestleMania with almost all of the build-up coming from Cena. I was genuinely surprised to learn that they had finally netted Bruno Sammartino for the Hall of Fame. Granted, when they teased an "epic announcement" about a legend getting inducted that was well overdue and all that, it kind of gave it away as, to me, it was either going to be Sammartino or Randy Savage (who should still get inducted this year, by the way).

Ciaran The King Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Is it me or did Maddox talk like Baine at some key points of his promo? Yeah I noticed it too, I think it was when he said "do what you will" Personally I like Maddox, reminds me of Ziggler when he debut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I quite like Mark Henry but he is so underwhelming in the ring. For a guy who has been billed as 'the world's strongest man' for over a decade, he think he'd have a finisher which is a bit more impressive than the most basic slam in the history of wrestling. I like the way he talks in his matches and I think he's a very good dominant heel, but he should have far more in his arsenal than what he does have. I can't imagine he'll ever learn anything at this stage of his career but, yeah, it's annoying. This is a guy who should be gorilla pressing and powerbombing everyone in sight, yet many of his key moves look weak. Good episode of RAW though. I enjoyed the ending with Maddox, The Shield, and Cena, Ryback and Sheamus. That was a very good finish to the show. The Shield have been booked very well, I think. It made sense to have them lose a bit of face in this stage of their development and I hope, like dsrchris said, they change their method of attack. Kind of a "you think you can out-Shield us? Well, f*ck you, we'll get you anywhere we want, whenever we want" type thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaran The King Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Henry should not be in the ring longer than 10 minutes, he is a monster and monsters don't have long matches because they annihilate opponents in minutes. If Henry is in the ring he needs to be in there with good talent to get him and the match over and to set the pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The best part about MAD OX on this show (other than being referred to as MAD OX by Punk) was that his promo style was so completely different to every other person. He takes huge pauses in between what he's saying which I hope is deliberate because it makes him stand out so much. As far as Henry and the WSS goes I've never mind it too much, he manages to put enough intensity into the move to make it look fairly devastating, plus his strength is so well documented that you can imagine even the simplest of moves becoming a lethal weapon in his hands.

Jamster26 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I like how he said "Justice" in a Scottish accent. I'm starting to warm to Ryback but he needs to stay away from Cena and Sheamus. Ideally, I'd like him to Shell-Shock both of them and be his own man, rather than team up. It dimishes his impact otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
