WWE Monday Night Raw Results 3/5/12
Raw begins with Shawn Michaels. He makes a joke about being blown up from his entrance. He recaps his appearance a few weeks ago. He says he really wanted Triple H to take The Undertaker’s challenge. Triple H’s music hits and he comes to the ring. Michaels continues to talk about how he tried everything to get Triple H to take the match. He rambles and rambles and rambles. Were already 8 minutes into the show and nothing has really happened. The crowd seems bored so they chant “Undertaker.” Finally at 10 minutes in we get a recap video of Undertaker saying that Shawn Michaels was always better than Triple H. Triple H accepts the match after that comment. When it ends they stare at each other in awkward silence. Shawn asks why the worst thing that someone could have said to Triple H to get him to accept is that Shawn is better than him. Triple H says he’s tired of hearing people talk behind Shawn’s back saying that he’s a failure. Triple H says it pains him to look at Shawn as a loser. At this point I’m hoping that this actually turns into a triple threat match. I want Shawn in this match. If that happens I care. The Hell in a Cell gimmick isn’t really needed for this.
Shawn says last year he watched Triple H lose and that he was right. Shawn says that this year he knows who’s going to win, and he will be right again. Michaels says he knows who will win because he is the special guest referee for the match. So there goes the triple threat thing. Of course they wouldn’t do something that exciting. By the way, “Triple Threat” is trending on Twitter. So is Shawn Michaels. So that’s it for this feud. Were getting Triple H vs. Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell with Shawn Michaels as the special referee. Lot’s of nostalgia and star power, yet not so exciting. Mainly because we’ve already seen Undertaker vs. Triple at Wrestlemania 3 times. So this match is what it is. I’m sure those two old guys will beat the hell out of each other and make it worth watching. I don’t doubt that. I’m sure it will be put on before The Rock vs. Cena match while the championship matches steal the show and get buried on the under card. Whoops, I forgot that someone last week asked me not to say “buried” again. I guess I should eliminate all wrestling terminology. The WWE is about to own the copyright to “kayfabe” after all.
United States Championship Match- Jack Swagger w/ Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler vs. Santino Marella- Were about to see Swagger’s first match on Raw in weeks. Michael Cole mentions that Teddy Long is running Raw tonight. You’d think they would have established that earlier. Cole asks what Santino has done to deserve a title shot. I’m not a fan of Santino as a face at all, but he did participate in the Elimination Chamber and finish second for the World Heavyweight Championship. Then the next night on Raw he eliminated Wade Barrett and Dolph Ziggler in a #1 contender battle royal. I’d say all of that qualifies him to get a mid card title shot. Especially against a paper champion who is never even on television and is holding Zack Ryder’s title as they rebuild him on the chase. The match begins. Swagger clubs away at Marella’s back. John Laurinaitis and David Otunga make their way down the ramp. Santino fights back with a hip toss and salute forearm drop. Santino puts on the cobra glove but Laurinaitis distracts the referee. Ziggler jumps up on the apron and hits Santino with a clothesline. Swagger hits a gutwrench powerbomb but Santino kicks out. Everyone thought that was the finish. Teddy Long’s music hits and he comes down the aisle with Aksana and Kofi Kingston. Long and Laurinaitis argue as we go to commercial.
Back from break the match is still going on. Both guys are knocked down as Laurinaitis hops up on the apron again. Teddy Long pulls him down. Santino runs off the ropes and Ziggler hits him again. Kofi pulls Ziggler off the apron. Santino hits the Cobra on Ziggler. He tries to do it to Vickie but she backs up and is pushed down by Aksana. Santino goes for the Cobra on Swagger, but he rolls through with an ankle lock. Teddy Long pushes Laurinaitis down for the third time. Santino grabs the rope, gets out, and rolls up Swagger for the win. Santino Marella is the new United States champion. Laurinaitis cuts off the announcement and says that Raw is his show. Teddy Long calls for security to throw him out. Teddy has them re-announce that Santino is the new champion. Santino cries and holds the title up. Santino, Teddy, Kofi Kingston, and Aksana celebrate with the trombone. Santino Marella, United States Champion, and Teddy Long are all trending on Twitter.
Okay okay okay….time out. What just happened? First of all, why did they repeat the almost exact same spot before and after the commercial break? That was awful. A terribly repetitive match. Teddy Long pushed Laurinaitis down 3 times! Unnecessary. Second of all, why was Kofi Kingston out there? I thought that he came out with Teddy to be teamed with Santino in a tag match. There was seriously no reason for him to be there. That was completely random. Obviously its a segway into Kofi being a part of this eventual Team Laurinaitis vs. Team Long match at Wrestlemania. Or he could start to feud with Ziggler for the 17th time. Either way it’s a weak way of booking the start of a new storyline. It was effortless to just have him appear and be in this new angle. That’s the best they could come up with? I guess Santino is a better champion than Swagger is.
The Rock is in Boston. He filmed a video earlier in the day from John Cena’s home town. The Rock talks about The Rock’s revolution. He says that they are going to have their own Boston tea party. He takes a bunch of Cena merchandise and throws it over the bridge and into the water. He pulls out some kids shorts and calls them midget shorts. He says it’s an insult to midgets. He calls Cena’s wristbands wonder woman wrist bands. He says it makes Cena look like a transvestite when he wears them. He makes fun of a Cena garden gnome and says that some 45 year old man has one…and he’s a virgin. He sniffs the John Cena cologne and says it smells like beer, fruity pebbles, and possum piss. Rock says that he’s going all around Boston for history lessons before he ends up in the ring. Hilarious!
Rock is great when he doesn’t have to shoot. The Rock comes from an era where storylines were made to look real. Because of social media storylines today are actually becoming real. People have access to hear what John Cena has to say 24/7 on Twitter. So they are more in the know of what’s going on in reality. Because of this the WWE has adapted to social media and are starting to merge these feuds into realism. The Rock never had to deal with that. This is why he struggled last week in participating in this new style. If you want The Rock to talk trash, make you laugh, and progress an angle, he will do it better than anyone in the world. But if you want him to do a legit shoot and talk about real beef with someone, he won’t compare to guys like Cena and CM Punk. Because those guys are used to doing it. This is why The Rock was embarrassed last week. And I kinda felt bad for him. Because that wasn’t his real element. Tonight he is back in his element. And he was incredibly entertaining. I’m looking forward to more tonight. The Rock and Boston Harbor are trending on Twitter.
Alicia Fox vs. Eve Torres- Kelly Kelly is on commentary. Jerry Lawler puts over how she is nominated for a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award. Eve vs. Alica has potential. They once had a great matches when they feuded over the Diva’s Championship. Yes Eve actually had good matches. Tie up to start. Eve hits a shoulder block. Leap frog by Alicia, followed by multiple highly impressive counters. Eventually Eve catches Alicia with a powerbomb. The move was a bit botched. Eve gets the pinfall for the win. “Woo woo woo you know it” here comes Zack Ryder. Ryder says “broskis before hoeskis.” The crowd pops and chants “hoeski.” Hoeskis, #wwwyki, Alicia Fox, and Kelly Kelly are all trending on Twitter. WWE is DOMINATING Twitter tonight…more than usual…ratings must be through the roof on The Rock/Cena followup.
Eve Torres runs up to Zack Ryder in the back. She kisses him. Ryder likes it. He smiles. #PoorZack. He’s going to get played again.
John Cena is sitting in an empty arena. He is talking to himself. Not even looking at a camera. Cena puts their match over and says he has to win. He talks about the New England Patriots going undefeated and then losing the Super Bowl. He says nobody remembers second place. Cena says that if he doesn’t win he becomes another name in The Rock’s notebook. He says he has to walk into The Rock’s hometown and win the big one on the grandest stage of them all. He says this Wrestlemania will break every record in the history of the WWE. He says nobody will remember second place. That was a unique promo. I’m okay with it. It was a different pace than The Rock’s. The talking tonight is great (minus Shawn Michaels.) John Cena is trending on Twitter.
So does Cena really need to win? He’s in a great spot. If he wins its great for him. If he loses it’s also great for him. If he goes out there and puts The Rock over in his hometown, at Wrestlemania, and given the circumstances, he looks like the greatest guy in the world. After all that was said, after him getting the upper hand in promos, and after a loss, Cena will do something more honorable than anyone else in the industry has ever had to do. And Cena will do it with class. I can see him shaking hands afterward. Hogan put Rock over. Rock probably won’t put Cena over. That makes The Rock look like the biggest ass in the world. And Cena the greatest guy. When Hogan wouldn’t put Michaels over at Summerslam in 2005, Michaels made an ass out of himself and oversold. He was absolutely hilarious, but it wasn’t the best thing to do. Cena won’t do it that way. He will stay true to his gimmick, stay true to the kind of guy he is in real life, and will put the guy over. And he will deserve a lot of credit when he does that.
WWE Champion CM Punk and Sheamus vs. World Heavywight Champion Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho w/ AJ- WWE wants people to tweet #bestintheworld with either Punk or Jericho’s name for their vote on who the best in the world is. Forget that. Daniel Bryan is the best in the world. He had the name before both of them. He is the World Heavyweight Champion yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. CM Punk and Chris Jericho start things off. Interesting. Tie up to start. Headlock by Jericho, rolled through by Punk. Same spot reversed. Jericho pushes Punk’s head, and Punk comes back with a shoulder block. Leap frog by Punk, monkey flip by Jericho, a few reverses, and multiple clotheslines by Punk. Jericho rolls to the apron and tags in Bryan. Great start. Very fast. Just a preview of how amazing their Wrestlemania match will be. Now its Bryan and Punk in the same ring. Yes yes yes yes. Sheamus is tagged in after a headlock. No no no no. Sheamus leapfrogs and catches Bryan over the ropes. Hard chest pounds through the ropes. “CM Punk and Sheamus” is trending on Twitter. Punk is tagged back in. Punk vs. Bryan. Yes yes yes yes. Hard kicks by Punk. He runs off the ropes but Jericho kicks him in the back. Tag to Jericho. No no no no. Commercial. #bestintheworld is the #1 trend worldwide on Twitter. Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho are also trending on Twitter. Back from commercial Jericho hits a sidewalk slam on Punk. Hard knee to the face. Jericho runs off the rope but Punk pops up with a single leg dropkick. Hot tag to Sheamus. Short clotheslines on Jericho. Body slam to Jericho and a shoulder block to Bryan. Irish Curse back breaker to Jericho. He goes to the outside of the apron but Daniel Bryan grabs his leg. Dropkick by Jericho sends Sheamus to the mat. Daniel Bryan comes running with a knee to the face on the outside. Nasty! This match is awesome. Sheamus is thrown back in the ring and almost makes a tag to Punk, but he’s cut off by Jericho. Jericho kicks him in the head multiple times. Sheamus tries to punch back but he’s caught in a chin lock. Sheamus fights back up and pushes Jericho in the corner. Jericho attempts a bulldog but Sheamus sends him knee first into the corner. Hot tag to Punk, tag to Bryan. Yes yes yes yes. Clothesline off the top rope by Punk. He’s holding his back. he better not be hurt. He’s probably just selling, but the commercial break broke the match psychology for me to be able to tell. Big slam followed by a Macho Man Flying Elbow. Bryan counters with a roll up. He kicks Punk into the corner. Sheamus is in and attempts a Celtic Cross but its countered. They get dumped to the outside and only Jericho and Punk remain in the ring. Punk uses a small package but Jericho reverses it into his own. Jericho gets the three count and pins the champion. Jericho grabs Punk’s title and celebrates. Great match. I loved it. Great build for Jericho. Great way to put him over. Great great great. Or as I’d rather say…. yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Funny story. There was a sign in the crowd that said “Colt of Personality.” CM Punk’s theme song is “Cult of Personality.” Colt Cabana is Punk’s good friend. Thus we get “Colt of Personality.” WWE needs to sign Colt Cabana.
The Rock is at a Paul Revere statue. He has a Cena cardboard cut out. He says if Cena was Paul Revere he would have been shot for his ridiculous outfit. Rock talks about making a time machine to travel back in time to whoop Cena’s ass. He says he’s 25% black 25% samoan and 50% Clydesdale. (That’s a penis joke.) He says Ben Franklin would say screw the light, that man created electricity. He talks about how he would give them Boston pie. He puts an old school hat on and sings a Yankee Doodle song about Cena. They even cue music for it. He sings that Cena had a feather in his hat and they called him a jabroni. The crowd popped for that. Entertaining once again. A great comedy act. I’m highly entertained tonight. Paul Revere is trending on Twitter. How great is that?
The Miz vs. The Big Show- Big Show charges Miz, but he rolls out of the ring. Cody Rhodes comes out immediately. He has a clip from Wrestlemania 18. “Cody Rhodes Presents: Another Embarassing Big Show Wrestlemania Moment.” The Big Show is stuck at the WWE New York restaurant. He yells “Wrestlemania baby woooo.” There is a fullscreen that says “woooo” with a picture of Big Show’s face. That made me laugh out loud. Miz attacks Big Show from behind. Big Show comes back with that terrible weak spear he does. Weapon of Mass Destruction on The Miz. That’s it. And there goes my good mood. By far the worst part of the show tonight. The Miz is a jobber. That’s all there is to it. They better be planning an epic storyline after this. But every time they ever have someone go on a losing streak storyline they never really recover from it. It didn’t work for MVP. Drew McIntyre is about to debut soon as a homosexual who kisses men at ringside. So I’m not really sure where they can go from here with The Miz. The Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes thing is funny because of the videos, but I’m sure the match won’t be any good. It may be a two minute Wrestlemania match. That is what I fear the most. Miz is trending on Twitter.
The Rock is at the Massachusetts state house. He talks about The Rock Revolution overthrowing Cena. The crowd isn’t really reacting this time. He throws out a couple more catch phrases. He has the charisma of George Washington, the brain of Lincoln, and the “you know what” of John Hancock. He ends with “if you smell what The Rock is cookin.” That one was a dud.
R-Truth vs. Kane- They show a promo from earlier in the day with R-Truth talking about Kane’s explosions. Then he stops and looks around and says “who am I talking to?” Not funny. Kane has a new smoke effect in his entrance. It shoots up from underneath and covers his whole body. I like it. Truth starts the match with punches in the corner. He’s thrown off and comes back with more. He’s thrown off a third time, tries to come back again, and is caught with a big bot in the corner. Clothesline and leg drop by Kane. Two count. Irish whip into the corner with a clothesline. He tries to do it again but gets a back elbow. R-Truth does a split and hits another back elbow. He goes for the scissors kick, but he’s pushed away, and chokeslammed. Kane wins. Another short match.
Kane raises his arm and does his explosion. Then Randy Orton’s music hits. Kane goes to run towards Orton but R-Truth holds on to his leg. Kane fights Truth off, spins around, and is hit with an RKO. Orton grabs a mic and gets in his face and says “it’s good to be back.” That’s a play off of Kane telling him”welcome back Randy” after he attacked him on Smackdown. This is going to be an awful feud. It’s going to be an even more awful Wrestlemania match. I really don’t care. I really don’t want to see those two fight. Every Wrestlemania Kane match is pointless (except for The Undertaker ones.) Remember Kane vs. Booker T? Of course you don’t. You don’t want to. Kane vs. Orton will be just as awful. Way to waste Randy Orton’s Wrestlemania spot. There had to be a better opponent for him. They could have built him vs. The Miz. That feud never happened. R-Truth is trending on Twitter. Randy Orton is also. After a hot first hour of Raw, this half has been slow and boring.
John Cena comes to the ring. His hometown crowd boos him. He says “I thought you all would be excited.” Cena say’s The Rock is back. The Rock he needs to face at Wrestlemania is back. He says that behind the sunglasses, and the traumatic head whips, The Rock isn’t really saying much. He is obsessed with breakfast cereal, he’s obsessed with his penis, and he talks about how many women he’s been with. Cena wants to know if he’s facing The Rock or The Situation from the Jersey Shore. Cena tells the truth and says that last week The Rock was shook up for the first time in his career. Hey, wasn’t that my exact quote? I’m the one that said “for the first time in his career…” I’m telling you that WWE writers read this article. I’d like to take this time to say hello to the ones reading right now. I am available to join your writing team upon request…. Cena makes fun of The Rock’s stuttering last week and said that he sounded more like The Rainman. LINE OF THE NIGHT. Cena does it again. He then makes fun of his own clothes. Cena gives a shout out to Boston College that actually gets the people to pop for him. John Cena is trending on Twitter. Cena says The Rock wasted 20 minutes last week talking about Chinese takeout. Cena asks for The Rock to come out. Not Dwayne Johnson.
The Rock’s music hits. He is fired up. He starts with “Finally The Rock has come back to Boston.” The Rock is going to tell the world what he sees. He sees fear. “Cena” chants break out. That surprises me. Rock says that everything Cena’s done over the last ten years goes away when he loses. Why would that happen? It’s just one match. The crowd is now chanting “Fruity Pebbles.” Some of them are chanting “Rocky sucks.” It’s abut 75% in The Rock’s favor. Now the crowd is chanting “Tooth Fairy.” I love it! The crowd is carrying this promo. The Rock says that he will rip The Rock’s throat out. He says Cena will go down in history as The Rock’s bitch. His music hits and he leaves. Short promo by The Rock. They wanted him to do what Cena did last week with the short promo. Cena scribbles notes on his wrist and starts reading from them. I love it! The Rock is trending on Twitter. Cena says he will make history by whipping The Rock’s ass. He dives into the crowd. It must be his friends. He drinks beer in the crowd. CM Punk is probably frowning…as am I. Cena shows off his family and kisses his wife as Raw goes off the air.
Cena wins again. They let The Rock have the long promo last week and Cena have the long promo this week. And Cena wins them both. The Rock was highly entertaining in his own way, but he can’t out talk Cena in a shoot. They advertise a concert next week on Raw. The Rock will sing. Cena will rap. That is going to be epic!
Nice Raw overall. They really spread out all of their wrestlers to make it a super card all night long. Just when you thought you were completely entertained you realized that another big name wasn’t even used yet. It was great seeing The Rock’s early promos and then getting to see that amazing tag match. Plus the Zack Ryder segment, a Shawn Michaels appearance, and a title change. Pretty strong Raw despite those two short matches. I laughed out loud a lot tonight.

I wasnt terribly impressed with Raw tonight.
HBK running his mouth incoherently for 15 minutes really set the tone for the rest of the show and kinda put me in “meh” mode. Once HHH came out, I kinda got into it. I think that match will be plenty good at WM and I am definitely looking forward to it.
I am happy as can be that Santino won. Maybe the US title will have some relevancy now that someone that appears at least once a week is holding it. Btw, I legit LOLed at Swagger’s hair style. Looked like he was posing for his 4th grade school photo.
Where were the tag champs? They had a big win last week and didnt show up this week. Stupid. Lame. Almost as lame as Miz getting buried. Same with Ziggler. Mr. Ziggles was my favorite heel and now he is irrelevant. Stupid. Lame.
Tag Match with Punk/Sheamus vs. The Second Best in the World and Jericho was the best part of the show. Great wrestling, and a pretty cool finish, in my opinion. My heart sinks everytime Punk gets pinned (thats the mark in me), but its pretty sweet that Y2J got a clean pin over the champ. Great build for WM. Its too bad that this match doesnt matter though, because Mr Dwayne has to get all the attention. I will ticked off to no end if stupid Dwayne doesnt put over Cena at WM. The Rock is allllllll about himself and his paycheck. period. Rocky is funny – when he is pretaped and can read off a script or teleprompter like Obama. But he sucks as shooting, much like you said. Its awesome that you noticed that much like I do. All the Rock marks out there always tell me Rock is the best shooter ever and always owns Cena. Kinda makes me think Im crazy for thinking otherwise. Glad you think the same as me. 🙂 The Rock is a total ass. period. He entertains me – dont get me wrong I LOLed at his jokes tonight despite my dislike for him. But I want Cena to win so friggin badly. Wow. listen to me. If only this wasnt scripted I would be treating this like a Ravens playoff game in terms of nerves. I guess WWE should be happy I take this as seriously as I do, lol.
Anyway, thanks for the entertaining article as usual. You have the smartest wrestling mind I have found online. You would make a great creative writer. **ATTENTION WWE CREATIVE**.
Michaels rambling also set the same tone for me. But a title change and The Rock’s first promo quickly changed that. Then that Punk/Bryan/Jericho tag match had me loving the show. My high from that match carried me through the end where Cena was great.
I guess I’m ok with Santino winning the title as long as they keep using him and pushing him. I did forget to comment on Swagger’s hair. There was so much going on at the beginning that I had a hard time keeping up this week. That was an awful hair style. Lego hair.
Even that tag match last week couldn’t save the terrible tag division. My idea of having The Kings of Wrestling come in and win them right away and dominate for a long time is their best bet. This might be the end for Miz. Ziggler will be fine but their decision to put him on the backburner for Wrestlemania is mind boggling. Either Miz or Ziggler needs to steal Eve from Ryder. That will build a pretty cool Mania match. It makes more sense for Ziggler to do it. Ziggler should come out at Wrestlemania with Eve, Vickie, and Princess Leia.
I also loved that tag match. And Bryan would be first best in the world…not second haha. I wish this match would have main evented too. Jericho needs to get the upperhand on Punk like that to make him believable. At this point its still not believable that he can beat Punk at Mania. I guess I won’t care and I’ll just sit back and love their match.
There is still a chance that Cena wins, but I’m up in the air at this point. I’m leaning towards The Rock. The people in The Rock’s hometown will be outraged if the PPV goes off the air with a Cena win. Unless Cena keeps stealing the crowd like he is now. The Rock is actually starting to get booed a little bit. It will be a very very bad situation if the crowd boos both Cena and Rock at Mania.
And haha thanks for the plug!
Yeah the Kings of Wrestling winning would be fantastic. Something new and exciting in that division for a change. As for the Miz, I dont understand why he debuted a new t-shirt last night. If they are putting him on the jobber table, I dont understand why he is worthy of a new shirt. I think they should put him in the Ryder storyline, not Ziggler. The Ryder storyline is great, but I think its a little below Ziggler, even though he hasnt done anything recently. I actually think Ziggler vs R-Truth could be entertaining. Ziggler always makes me laugh when he makes fun of Truth’s craziness. He was great during the Elimination Chamber debate a couple weeks ago. I have no idea what they are planning to do with: Miz, Ziggler, Truth, Kofi, Santino, Mark Henry, Del Rio, or Christian for WM. Im guessing some of them will be in the stupid GM storyline, but as for the others I have no idea. I just dont understand why WWE spends a year building some of these guys only to give them nothing when the biggest show of the year rolls around. Kinda dumb.
I’m clueless about The Miz situation. I have no idea what they are doing. They blamed him for being reckless against R-Truth so I guess he’s being punished. I think Miz is perfect to feud with Ryder right now too. But it would make sense for Ziggler to want self confidence back by stealing everything Ryder has. Their feud was great and could be continued. I’m not so big on the Ziggler vs. R-Truth idea. R-Truth was only entertaining to me as a heel. Most comedy acts are great heels and terrible faces. Like Santino. With the exception of Eric Young in TNA. He is the best comedy act in the world and he’s a face. Your last line is exactly what I’ve been thinking for years. Even guys with matches, like Orton, get stuck in an awful match that nobody wants to see. Slapping Orton together in a last minute storyline for the big PPV is just plain terrible booking. I know Barrett went down, but cmon.

***WAITIN’ EAGERLY FOR “WORD LIFE” ONCE AGAIN***
The night of music will be super entertaining. I know what you mean about people who don’t watch wrestling tuning in to see Rock vs. Cena. I’ve experienced the same thing personally. Everyone seems to be upset about Miz. Keep commenting each week, you say some good stuff!
Good read again mark
Just a couple of things
1. I thought the Rock had an upper hand, I expected them to even it out after what happened last week, and I thought Rock was actually given more time on Raw albeit it in segments
A little PG for my liking watching it with my son
2. I think they have done a bad report on promoting the Daniel Bryan, Sheamus fight. I know Sheamus has the momentum, but Daniel Bryan is not getting quality time, what do you think, a bit of promo or an attack from behind would help
Lastly I feel sorry for Ziggler, he has lost out the most and I can quiete picture how they will bring him back considering his momentum I thought, him and Alberto or even him against the MIZ would have been a good feud, atleast for mania’s sake.
Have to stay up to see this from 3 am from my end, would say 7/10 no quality matches but good stories
Cheers
1. The Rock did get more time and was funny early on, but Cena dealt some big blows again. I was actually thinking that it was more risque and less PG than normal. Lot’s of talk about things inappropriate for children. Mainly penis jokes.
2. Do you watch Smackdown as well? Daniel Bryan gets a lot of time on that show. He dominates that show. It’s kinda starting to be like when Edge dominated that show for many years. Bryan gets multiple segments each night. But on Raw he isn’t really being built enough. That’s what I like about Smackdown right now. They are giving a lot of attention to Bryan vs. Sheamus as they should.
3. I mentioned in an above comment that Ziggler should regain self confidence by picking on Ryder while he’s down. He needs to steal Eve and then come out with her and Princess Leia. Not sure if you follow Ryder’s Youtube show, but Ziggler already stole Princess Leia from him earlier this year in their feud. That’s the best bet for Ziggler right now in my eyes.
I loved that tag match! I say it was a great quality match! Thanks for the comments and compliments. Come back next week!
Why do you think The Rock will win at Wrestlemania just because it’s in his hometown? Don’t you think The Rock should make Cena at the top by making him win, just like Hogan did for him and WM18? Also what has The Rock gotten to prove in the WWE now? He has won the WWE and World Championships, won the Royal Rumble and is now a Hollywood Star. With The Rock winning will do nothing for himself or the company, but is he looses, there is still no problem. He will keep coming back to the WWE and making movies. His fans would still love him no matter what. John Cena should win considering the fact that he comes every night on Raw, face of the company, role model to many and a fine ambasaddor for WWE. If the crowd doesn’t want to see The Rock loose, then I say Cena should win dirty, thus making it the biggest heel turn in the history of pro wrestling. I feel like The Rock is just over hyped and over-rated and just all talk. People just like him because he is a good trash talker. Lately I just skip when he talks on the mic because he keeps saying the same old boring stuff and keeps trending stupid stuff. I am so sick and tired of Twitter!
Yes I think The Rock should put Cena over. I just don’t think he will. The Rock has been angry with Cena calling him out for the past few years. I believe that The Rock agreed to come back only if he could go over on Cena. Cena saw how great of a business and exposure decision that was so he was fully on board. So your exactly right that The Rock winning will do nothing for the WWE. It will do something for him. It will help his ego knowing that he tried to bury the guy that called him out in the media. IF The Rock puts Cena over I will completely change my opinion on him. IF The Rock beats Cena it proves that he’s an egotistical ass. I agree with you completely that Cena should and deserves to win. But I don’t it will be booked that way. I also don’t think Cena will turn heel. I wouldn’t skip The Rock’s promos. Even if you don’t like him you should still listen and laugh. He’s great for that. Twitter has taken over the world! It’s pretty amazing that millions of people can write things in real time and that the world can know what the most popular things on the planet are at that given time. Twitter is amazing for that reason!
Ive been watching wwe for a long time , and when you have this kind of match doesn’t anyone else think that Cena will win but it will be as he turns heel? Remember when the rock and stone cold faced each other and both were baby faces and stone cold turned? And then the WHAT era occurred …..What? What? What? Love it
The Rock was heel when he faced both Hulk Hogan & Stone Cold.
This time The Rock should win because John Cena looks like heel after Zack Ryder angle.
+ 18 + don’t want to see PG Cena win & Dwayne The Rock Johnson, The Great One, The Most Electryfying man in All Sports Entertainment came back just to be a jobber? Thats pretty dam lame.
I hope The Rock wins because this is Attitude Era vs PG
&
No I dont like Cena he made WWE PG & Boring & I am 18+ anyone who likes Cena is 5-14 & Fck Cena he can go TNA & do his PG thing.
I don’t think Cena will turn heel. Ive said before that he is already a heel to those he needs to be a heel to. He can’t turn on his fans. It doesn’t fit his gimmick. He can never really be a heel.
Cena no longer looks like a heel after the Ryder angle. Eve turning heel actually made Cena look really good. Whether you hate Cena or not you have to admit that he’s right about mostly everything he says. And you can’t blame Cena for being PG. He’s not PG by choice. As a matter of fact Cena is the one being risque the last few weeks and talking about penis.

WOW
What kind of age are we living today loooool
a 5-14 years old kid gets to write an Article hahaha
& I can tell this Mark Brown is a 10 years old Cena fan.
The Rock didn’t say The Rock would rip The Rock’s Throat WTF!
The Rock said The Rock is 6,4ft 260 Pounds that will Rip kung pow bitch John Cena’s pg frutie pebbles throat off. & He in real life he can do that because by judging his genes, Half Black Half Samoan, those are the Genetics ruling Fighting Sports & other Sports, I mean MJ-Black, Mike Tyson-Black, Muhammad Ali-Black,Mighty Mo-Samoan,David Tua-Samoan, Ray Sefo-Samoan. Not to mention he was a Giant in his College grade & a former NFL player.
Cena fans = 5-14 years old kid who lived in PG era or just grown up virgin nerds who watched & like PG era & never watched WWF Attitude Era.
Teambringit The Rock won both promo Mark Brown kid. Last time The Rock owned Kung Pow bitch Cena with old & new chants such as
Fruitie Pebbles (Obviously win)
Lady Part
Missing Balls(New 1)
Kung Pow Bitch (New & memoral 1 haha)
Your idol John Cena was & is still offended by those chants lool You can replay that video again haha he was pisdd off. & the whole building chanted those chants. You will hear thosse chants again in Wrestlemania dont worry Cena bitch.
Last night 2nd promo The Rock won again, he did the old attitude era promo by owning Cena’s PG merchandise outside public. It was just like Old good old golden days outside public promo after long time.
You see The Rock is bringing IT back. The Rock is bringing good old bloody attitude era back. & 90% fans today tune in WWE because of The Rock.
We heard Tooth Fairy chant sure but I watched that movie & its very good & unique unlike other Typical Twilight shtt. + That movie was on top 5 on chartboard so obviously Cena bitch is jealous of The Rock. Cause his cheap budget movie Marine didnt hit the box office lool. But The Rock buried those chants quickly with Short Strong & Sweet line. No matter what happends at Wrestlemania. John Cena will always be The Rock’s bitch. Because of guys like The Rock, PG fckers like John Cena got the chance. Without The Rock & Stone Cold, today WWE would have never survived after Hulk Hugan & Undertaker. So I really hope backstage Cena bitch is giving respect to The Rock.
And another reason why the Rock won is because He said it just like it is.
If The Rock loses at WM just because Vince pickd over Cena, then thats ok. The Rock still exist. Trail Bazing, Eye-brow Rasin, The Great One, The People’s Champ, The Most Electrifying Man in All Sports Entertainment, Dwayne THE ROCK Johnson! still exist because he has already established great successful career in Hollywood. The Scorpian King, Run Down, Walking Tall, Gridiron Gang, The Game Plan, Race to Witch Mountain, Get Smart, Planet 51, Tooth Fairy, Doom e.t.c & now Hercules.
The Rock dont need WWE, WWE need The Rock
but
If John Cena loses, then It’s all over.. His wonderwoman wristband,his boring 10 years old jeans, His so called Hustle, Loyalty, Respect but dont show any respect to The Rock & other wrestlers in-ring, his frutie pebbles, His 10 years PG sht Era. John Cena is over if he loses because by judging the review of Marine, He fails establishing successful carrier in Hollywood like The Rock. He made WWE PG & boring for 10 years & I really hope The Rock Kicks John Cena’s candy ass & brings Attitude-Era back. & I hope Vince fires Cena & fck him he can go make TNA PG shit.
Teambringit- Just Bring It, Cena kung pow BITCH!
wow. your weird.
Hmmmm where to start on this one. I’ll start by saying that your more deserving of the name “Mark” than I am. I’d also like to meet a 10 year old that has the wrestling knowledge that I do. That kid would be the new savior. More than likely I’m older than you are. I understand if your a Rock fan. I don’t mind The Rock. I don’t mind Cena. I am not a fan of either. But to say that The Rock has gotten the upperhand on Cena is a blind and uninformed comment. Read my section about how The Rock has never had to shoot and then you might understand. Cena thinks that all these catchphrases about him are ridiculous. He’s stated that already. He also made fun of his own clothing to show that The Rock is only stating obvious things that aren’t really penetrating Cena. Fruity Pebbles, Kung Pao Bitch, and all that other stuff is funny. But it’s not hurtful. It’s not a real life blow. It’s just meant to be funny. And it is. I laughed at some of them. But Cena calling out the writing on the wrist, how The Rock got stirred up, and calling him Rain Man are personal blows. They penetrate The Rock. They angered him. Nothing The Rock has said has truly angered Cena. And that’s perfectly fine. What you need to understand is that these two guys are playing two totally different games. The Rock is trying to entertain the people and get them to laugh at Cena. Cena is shooting on The Rock and is delivering personal hurtful blows. But The Rock is trying to use his way to outdo Cena, and that just isn’t possible. And I really don’t know what to say about you making a Michael Jackson reference and explaining why the Tooth Fairy was a good movie lol. Your on your own on that one. Thanks for commenting. Keep cheering on your guy. That’s why wrestling is great.
lol, huge explanation for such a short statement, buy I agree with ya!
wow. what a fantastic response. this is 100% to the core why Cena is getting the upperhand. If ANYONE else I find cannot understand this point of view, I will point them to this paragraph. lol. pipebomb from Mark Brown.
Haha thanks! Pipe bomb exploded.

Teambringit- Just Bring It, Cena kung pow BITCH!
wow. your still weird.
I’m truly sick of Cena and The Rock. I can’t wait for Wrestlemania to end. Hopefully we won’t hear more about it. The WWE needs to give everyone a HUGE break from Cena. A year break will definitely be great, but I know it won’t happen since he’s their favorite superstar.
Really? That’s a unique comment. There isn’t much more to do with this storyline without the wrestling, but it’s still epic. This is a completely unique situation unlike anything we’ve ever seen in wrestling before. And social media has brought it on. Sit back and take this all in. Appreciate it for what it is. Everytime Cena is involved in a major storyline its great. His Nexus storyline was probably the best storyline of the last decade. He doesn’t need to go away because everything he does turns out to be great. I am not a fan of his wrestling. But damn do you gotta respect what he’s done. He’s a modern day Hulk Hogan.
You want my honest opinion? I really don’t think Cena and Rock has a real life rivalry between them. Sure Cena ran his mouth way back before about The Rock. So what? There are many other wrestlers who has done this before. To me, it seems like Rocky is just taking this way too seriously and he is making it seem personal. But they will be fighting at Wrestlemania just for the fans sake as it’s their dream match. I love Rocky and his humour but I just don’t understand why he keeps making fun of Cena and calling him names. At this point, Cena is a much bigger man than Rock since he lays out the actual facts and truth about Rocky while The Rocky can only seem to call Cena “Fruity Pebbles”. I completely disagree with Cena saying that Rock is never on Raw. What is wrong with Cena? Does he not know Rock is not full time employed with the WWE? I am amazed Rock even finds time for Raw when he is so busy with film schedules and many more things happening. I appreciate The Rock for that. Yes The Rock has started getting boos but it was only because it was in Cena’s hometown. Come April 1’st the die hard Rocky fans would ‘kill’ Cena. I have said it before but I’ll say it again. The notes on the wrist thing was completely scripted. The Rock cut a almost 30 minute promo when he returned to the WWE and he didn’t use any notes, he never has and never will. He doesn’t need them. People need to start realising this is all scripted including the ‘legit heat’ between Cena and The Rock. I wish a photo or something with be found on the internet of the practicing together for WM to prove my point. Anyway all I can say is…IF YA SMELLLLLLALALALALALALALALALALAO WHAT THE ROCK…IS…COOKING!
There is definitely a real life rivalry there. The reports about them not speaking backstage are real. This started years before The Rock even returned to WWE. The Rock has said before that he is back and will continue to make appearances ever after this angle. Cena only brings up The Rock not being there each week to get under his skin. We all know that The Rock can’t be there every week. Once his movie obligations freed up he’s been on tv. That’s all he can do. But I’m grateful that he has returned and that he is bringing in such strong ratings for the company. I can’t agree with you though that this is all scripted, because in this case it’s not.
John sena is ring master in raw he is real hero I’m sure rock will lose the Mach john will be the winner
Bz he is the man back down from any challenge ( he is the winner)
It just cracks me up how the Rock’s skits, funny and entertaining as they are, end up being completely weightless and forgettable…kind of like a Transformers movie. Super fun action packed entertaining NOTHINGNESS. all style, no substance. and actually, if the Rock wins Wrestlemania, it would be the equivalent of a Transformers movie winning Best Picture at the Oscars. Right now, Cena’s “The Godfather” in comparison. Hard hitting, powerful, riveting….HEAVY sh*t. Mark, I believe what you say about the Rocks era vs this social media era is true (and incredibly insightful, might I add..kudos to you, man). The change in the times are to blame for The Rock’s antics seeming outdated, and if it wasnt for his legendary reputation, i think the crowd would see through the shananigans and boo him outta town..in fact, they started doing that this week, and I believe it will continue going forward to Wrestlemania. As for Cena being booed in Boston…I think that’s a testament to the crappy society we live in right now. They guy embodies all that is decent and good and honorable, while never backing down from a challenge, no matter the odds, and kicking major MAJOR ass throughout his career. I mean, the guy is King Leonidas. Only in a world this sh*tty can a bonafide role model be booed in his own hometown. Shameful.
Raw was ok this week. Cena was the high point. Big Show / Rhodes with Miz jobbing (again) was the low. What a waste of the Miz’s considerable talents. Jericho & Punk need more one on one confrontations….verbal sparring that builds to a cresendo and then erupts into sudden violence. this feud has epic potential…lets get to work on it, WWE!
I have to completely agree with everything you said. It’s all 100% true. I also think that The Rock will continue to get his fair share of boos. People are starting to side with Cena because of his great promos. I don’t think he will get more shine than The Rock, but he will continue to get a few cheers. Wrestlemania could be highly interesting from a crowd point. Yes it’s The Rock’s hometown, but how many people do you think are actually from Miami that will be there? I bet it’s under 25%. People come from all over the world for Wrestlemania. I’m starting to think that The Rock will actually have at least one “Rocky sucks” chant that will be loud and audible during that match. They better hope it doesn’t turn into Lesnar vs. Goldberg with both guys getting booed. I don’t think it will come to that, but a lot of smart marks like this feud, hate Cena, like what Cena is saying, don’t like The Rock, and aren’t going to be behind either guy.
