I agree, HHH vs Undertaker is overdone. Time for the Undertaker to move on. Sad to say, but father time catches up to us all. Even more so if your body has taken a beating over the years.
Either end the streak by passing the torch to a member of the next generation or retire undefeated at WM. It doesn't matter either way to me as long as it's done well. It should have been finished with 20-0. When he, HHH and Shawn Michaels embraced at the top of the ramp after the match, that should have been the end of it. Just announce his retirement, have an Undertaker Appreciation Night and call it done. He's 47 years old and has done it all. Anything beyond this will only tarnish what was an impressive career. I don't want to see him going down the same road as Hogan, Flair, Sting and Lawler...holding on long past the point where they looked like they should be in the ring. I'm not sure I even want to see HHH vs Lesnar again. Yeah, it'd be nice to see HHH get revenge for the "broken" arms. But, he needs to focus on helping get the company back on track and no longer reliant on a member of the MacMahon family to "save" it, not building up to a rematch with Lesnar. Just let it go. Let Lesnar feud with someone that is still relevant. Unfortunately, I think they want to write him off at the end of his current contract. HHH getting revenge and sending him packing would be an easy way to write him off. I mean, the current expensive contract with very limited appearances just isn't good business. It's hard to build up a story when the guy can't be there on a regular basis. It also keeps fans from getting into it. I very rarely see signs or fans calling for Lesnar. He's become an afterthought to all but the most steadfast Lesnar fans like our own F5. They need to build up interest for the wrestlers that will be there week after week instead of relying on the legacy guys to make an appearance in one or two PPV's per year. Someone else needs to step up into that dominant, fan favorite role. Cena was that guy, but he's gotten stale and a large portion of fans have turned on him. Sheamus tried, but he just can't carry the role...yet. Jericho could have been that guy, but he's off doing music. Punk was it, but they turned him heel because they were lacking that really evil heel they needed. Randy Orton keeps getting hurt and suspended so it's hard to rely on him. Big Show is a caricature. He's trying to be the big, evil character, but the fans have seen him as a clown way too much. Daniel Bryan has the potential to be that guy. Ziggler might be able to pull off being that guy. I'm not sure Miz could ever be that guy. Rey Mysterio gets injured and suspended too much to be that guy. I don't think Ryback can be that guy. They need to do some serious developing or story writing to turn it around. Or, continue to pin their hopes on Cena, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Ziggler or Ryback.

Good news for tonight. Another CM Punk vs John Cena match.
Brad Maddox vs Ryback as well. Think I might take the sensible option and record. Depends how I feel at the time. |

Yeah, tough choice tonight. Watch the Steelers beat up on the hapless Chiefs or watch Ryback beat up on a hapless Brad Maddox.
I think I'll have the game on as background noise while I finish unpacking and fast forward through Raw afterwards.

The problem with Lesner is there are limited choices for a good battle that draws money. Really what choices do you have? Show? Cena? HHH? UT? Zigler? Shaemus? Barrett? Punk? Rybeck? Lesner is such a monster heel that most of those guys listed are not a good match (like Punk).

I doin't get ADRs constant push near the top. He has his own ring announcer and usually comes out in an expensive rented car. He has like X-Pac heat (none). Dunno why Vince so up for him.

I'm thinking this storyline is going to take a weird turn. Vickie is in love with AJ or some shit.

I'm also thinking this segment will have record low numbers. I was never so happy to hear John Cena music. |

Sorry but the Lawler and Punk angle was distasteful at best. You know the bookers are in trouble when they turn someone's heart attack into an angle.
Gee I wonder who they are gonna vote for? Two mid card jobbers and the Miz. |

All I know is that I tried to watch Raw tonight, but Ziggler was wasted in a tag match with two guys that I cannot/will not sit through (Orton, ADR) and then I missed Kaitlyn's match altogether. Looks like MNF for me, and then catching up with anything worth seeing after reading the results. |
