I see now bringing in Rock was the best thing they ever did, until they brought in Lesnar.

I liked Lesnar's promo better, it was just an F-5.

Here are my late 4/2 Raw thoughts
-The opening was good. The best part was Dolph Ziggler making fun of Santino when he found out he got a title shot.
-The Rock blah blah blah'ing one more time.
-Ziggs vs Swagger vs Santino was fun and I enjoyed it. I hope Brodus and Santino aren't a full time team, I prefer my Brodus as a singles star.
-Lord A-Train vs Riley was kind of boring. It just took so long to get anything done in that match with that shitty finish.
-Punk vs Henry was pretty fucking awesome. I was expecting a complete waste of time and boy was I wrong. Jericho pulling an Edge afterwords was great. The bottle being smashed over Punk's head was a great way to finish all of that.
-I chuckled pretty good at Big Show's interruption of Kofi vs Cody. With that said, I'm not looking forward to whatever is next in Show's future.
-Looks like Champ got a job in WWE and is trying to recruit Mark Henry.
-Miz vs Ryder was allright, that's all there is to say about that.
-I think the crowd made the Cena promo go twice as long as it was supposed to, but damn that was a fun crowd.
-Brock is back and now I am off the Cenation band wagon. Hopefully Brock has a good WWE run and the WWE then hires Chael Sonnen. The rest of the UFC fighters are just that, but Sonnen is a fucking promo machine.

I felt let down with Lord A-Train too. I like the Matt Bloom I just have a feeling this gimmick is going to be a shitty bomb.
I'm starting to have a little issue with Brodus. I was so excited when I first saw him and thought WWE was totally onto something great. Then I saw him again and was like FUCK YEAH. Then I saw him again and was like, cool, but not as good as last week. But now, and this is probably my best overall metaphor for Brodus, I feel like, ok I saw him, he was great, but now what?
Naitch, only you could figure out that I was lying all this time about being a white guy with long metal hair. I'm really a goofy showtime jig

- That was a great beginning to Raw. I like how they're going into kayfabe with Lesnar right away as opposed to playing the semi real life card like with Rock and Cena. It was great to hear Brock praising TEVPOTR and then waving off the apes when they chanted for him to hit the F5 again. It's like he said, fuck you, I don't want you to like me like the Rock
- Funkasaurus and Santino, I'm already over it
- Still not feeling Lord Tensai. I forget if I mentioned this last week(too lazy to check), I like Matt Bloom. The guy definitely has a great understanding of what he's doing out there. The gimmick is just shit to me and I can't see it going over
But, I do giggle a little inside when Zack jobs. I think it's because it pisses off a lot of his diehard loser followers
- No divas match tonight at all. Did V ever mention that the divas division is in the toilet? Because it is
- I have to admit I'm marking out for Big Show turning the tides on Cody only because it's a great face payoff for the fans
- The CM Punk/Jericho saga gets better and better every week. I genuinely hate Jericho right now and feel sorry for Punk. It's just being done so well. That segment was awesome tonight from the pre-match to post-match
- Fuck the 3 stooges. The originals were the best. You can't recreate that. Having Kane chokeslam Hulk Curly was the absolute best thing they could've done
- Cena vs. Otunga was the second most boring segment of the night, mainly because everyone knows Otunga doesn't stand a fucking god given chance against Cena in a match, especially when Cena's pumped up from earlier. I have to admit, I did laugh when TEVPOTR put Otunga in the match with Cena only because WWE had TEVPOTR go from being a totally successful man on Raw to the stupidest man within seconds. It was just total TNA move on WWE's part
Even when Brock jumped Cena and F5d him again afterwards, I didn't really care. It was almost like it was too little too late because the opening segment just blew the ending away. As I mentioned earlier, I did appreciate Brock blowing off the apes like a true heel and not a heel trying to be cool.
Overall it was a good solid show

Naitch's Raw 4/9 thoughts
-The Opening: I enjoyed it BUT why did every member of the roster run out to break up the fight instead of just enjoy it? That has never made any sense to me.
-I love how Johnny treats Teddy like shit.
-Like Champ said, I'm also over Santino and Brodus.
-Also like Champ said, Big Show getting retribution on Cody is good stuff. I liked how Show just showed Cody losing last week.
-Lord Tensai, slowest wrestler in the world.
-Chris Jericho is in mega dick hole mode lately. Not good for Punk.
-The rest of the show isn't that memorable. It was all kind of there.

Yeah, I also liked the opening. Brock stiffing and bloodying Cena put things over the edge. This is a hot feud right off the bat.
Lord Tensai is a bit of a dud so far.
In hindsight, it would have been better if they started the Punk vs Jericho feud around the Rumble and gave them more time to get the feud as hot as it is now going in to WrestleMania. I'm loving Jericho owning CM Drunk.
I don't think there will ever be a guest host as annoying as that Asian guy, but the three stooges put up a good effort to secure second place. Thank God for Kane, lol. Arrive. Chokeslam. Leave. If only he had done it sooner.
I thought it was a pretty good show again.

-The Opening: I enjoyed it BUT why did every member of the roster run out to break up the fight instead of just enjoy it? That has never made any sense to me. Johnny runs a tight ship This would be a good time for my yearly reference to the Simpsons' episode with the "I Didn't Do It Boy". Hey everyone, Brodus is a bit like the Simpsons episode with the "I Didn't Do It Boy". It's fun at first but that act has a real short lifespan unless you go somewhere with it. They should have just had him get into his spaceship and blast off back to his home planet after his Wrestlemania extravaganza, because that was his highlight.

Raw 4/16 thoughts
-Punk vs Henry was all right. Jericho cutting promos all over Punks ass was better. If it wasn't for Lesnar/Cena this would be a money feud right now.
-Otunga vs Santino was memorable just for the simple fact that Otunga fucked up the pin. You know what I'm talking about.
-Quite a interview out of Mr. Lesnar.
-YES! Lock
-Cena returns with a good promo. Cena has left my shit list.
-Bryan vs Kofi was good. That goes without saying, Bryan's worst match was still good.
-Brodus vs Dolph makes me think Dolph is going to be the guy to give Brodus his first loss.
-Big Show and Khali was mildly amusing until the end. Then the lack of Rosa and Big Show dancing ruined it for me. Who was Champ scouting? The big guys or the tiny spicks?
-Zack Ryder vs Kane was PERFECT! I mean that. I am all for Kane beating the shit out of Ryder.
-Lord A-Train could fuck up a wet dream with how slow he is. I think its the weight he gained, he just is slow. I don't think plodding, just like molasses on a cold day. Cena took the loss which surprised me since I was expecting him to win his matches until he met Brock in the ring.

I almost forgot Otunga went to hook the wrong leg until you brought it up
I already see the whole "YES" thing getting annoying but I did totally mark out for the YES Lock
LOL I was scouting Rosa!
It really is great for some reason. I think it's for the same reason I mentioned last week. I love when Ryder gets the shit kicked out of him and all his die hard loser fans get crushed. It's also better when Kane does it simply because Kane never needs a good reason to kick the crap out of somebody. He just does it because it's fun
I'm really not feeling Lord A Train at all. Aside from the fact that he's slow, he just doesn't connect with the crowd at all.
I think there's something to Cena losing a lot lately. I'll be damned if I know what it is because it never leads anywhere anyway. I still think Cena's losing clean to Brock at the PPV too.

It really is great for some reason. I think it's for the same reason I mentioned last week. I love when Ryder gets the shit kicked out of him and all his die hard loser fans get crushed. Internet / Youtube sensation. Vocal, diehard fans. Decent hand in the ring. Got dumped by a girl waaay out of his league. Getting owned at every opportunity. It occurred to me the other day that Ryder is basically an outlandish (although probably not that much) simulation of Matt Hardy. And I think you're right about Cena, champ. These matches he is losing is leading somewhere, and they wouldn't have put him against Brock in his first PPV otherwise. Also, they wouldn't bring Brock back at great expense just to have him job in his first match. I mean, you could have Brock crush Cena at the PPV, and then some have other guy (I'm thinking a 2nd-tier guy like CM Punk, Sheamus, maybe even Daniel Bryan) beat him later in the year to get a boost.
