I just realized that Sheamus put Sin Cara through a ladder and not a table.

Is that like adultery?

I bet he wanted to put him through the Spanish announce table but it was reserved for Orton later in the night!

Spanish announce table would have just continued to no sell. It wasn't putting anyone over that night.

I was a bit let down by RAW last night, but I don't think anything would have really fulfilled me at that point. The best part has been Punk's pictures from all over chicago and defending the title against Piston Honda. I'll give it another week to see how the Chaperone Era begind to form before sliding off again.

There's always the hope that Sheamus puts someone through a table on Smackdown in a rage. I just hope he doesn't bury Bryan like usual!

I was fine with Raw. It didn't knock things out of the park, but I wasn't expecting it to. It was good. It wasn't great, but it was good enough that I'm very curious what happens next.

In Sheamus' defense, it was a wooden ladder.

I used to love Rey Mysterio and he was easily my favorite superstar when I started watching wrestling again back in 2005. In fact if it weren't for his feud with Eddie that summer (ridiculous Dominick plot aside, they were in a ton of great matches) I don't know if I WOULD have gotten back into wrestling. I was just so amazed by his moves, even the 619, which were just so incredibly different from what I was used to, not having watched wrestling in over a decade, since before the Monday Night Wars began.

I still LIKE him, but he's understandably lost a step over the years and the problem is he hasn't improved on the mic to make up for what he's lost in the ring. He still puts on great PPV matches, but he's usually terrible to watch on regular TV, and he hasn't had an interesting storyline in I don't even know how long. And making it worse is that lately he's been facing rising heel stars and killing them with his inability to cut a promo and how he practically never loses. He's gotten better about the whole constant winning thing since moving to Raw (in fact now he seems to lose most of the time), but he still can't talk.

Also not a fan of the half-mask he's been wearing in recent years. I didn't mind it when he started wearing it during his feud with Kane a few years ago (the one where Kane had Mysterio's mask in that burlap sack, remember?), because I thought it was supposed to be like a takeoff on Kane's old mask but with a Mysterio face. But then he kept it and maybe the Kane connection was just in my imagination and I just don't like it at all anymore.

Yeah, I've seen the general sentiment that Raw overall was a letdown after last week and then MitB, but it's good that most people realize that it was a logical and productive next step.

If Punk had actually been there, people would have complained, and rightfully so.

If Cena was actually "fired," people would have crapped on it, and admittedly the track record for WWE supports that reaction.

If Vince for some reason decided on his own not to fire Cena, people would have REALLY crapped on it.

The tournament was fun and it made sense, and the twist at the end was a great way to get around the Cena stip without at all cheapening it.

And now we have a week to discuss where WWE will go with Triple H at the helm. I honestly think they put on the best possible show they could have given this point in the storyline. Maybe the matches could have been a little better but the fact that Raw was practically all wrestling, with all the matches being substantially important (except for the Divas) is not something I am going to poo-poo.

I think the divas match was a giant waste of time, but whatever. I agree it was probably the best they could have done.

I'm curious to see if HHH will continue the tournament, or honor the fact Punk walked out with the title and maybe introduce a new major title for raw or something.

I later went to the divas roster page, there are only 15 divas on it.

Last night was slightly disappointing but it's like what you said, it was completely understandable. They had an extremely tough act to follow and to make any sort of logical progression they were always going to be struggling.

I'm still hoping that tonight, we get the NXT opening, and then after the intro the show starts with Triple H alone in the ring.

"This show is canceled. It sucks."

And then it goes off the air forever.

hey anything that gets AJ Lee on TV is ok by me.

personally i loved raw... got to see a few pretty good matches. i marked out like a pro when kofi stole one from del rio, enjoyed rey ziggler, was on the edge of my seat for truthrey and enjoyed the almost faceish underdog run by miz on one leg.

then the ending was a good segment, considering the reaction it drew and all the implications. Just more of the best angle WWE has had in years it was great.

Ok fine, HHH will open the show to announce that he is here to evaluate it.

Then he will interrupt the main event to say that he has seen enough and end the show then.

I enjoyed Raw overall as well.
