Wrestling.... cringeworthy? When has wrestling ever not been cringeworthy? Its always been cringeworthy... even when they try to be serious with the taker/hhh story.

Rock concert was great but I was hoping for a peeved off Cena to come down and smash Rocky's guitar over his head.. sure in time they will attack each other.

In context, it was taking it a little too far in my opinion. Yes, wrestling is cringeworthy by nature but we suspend our disbelief for a large amount of the time, reveling in the bombastic, over the top nature of it. The Rock basically epitomises that but he went on for far too long on Monday night. Something which was fairly amusing was just painful to watch by the end. Especially the We Will Rock You thing.

Rock won't be on every Raw. Enjoy his mic work while you can. :cool:

I never found it that cringeworthy to be honest.. but I have been watching wrestling since 94 and seen far more cringeworthy segments.

You want to feel some second-hand embarrassment? Wait for JR's part. Its just excruciating to watch.

Just realised, taker is bald and will have to take his hat off for his match. Could be strange.

HHH at a live show last night.

It won't be Taker, it will be Big LG Luke Gallows!

My favourite wrestler in the WWE by far.

Also, who said Ziggler was terrible?

And TNA is still TNA.

Tom84 · 20 Mar 2012 at 00:20

You do know that was a planned finish don't you rather than a botch? (referring to the TNA gif)

As I understand, Sting had also pretty obviously looked at the chair and knew fully well it was there. So yeah, it was a spot, but could have been done less obviously.

Though given its TNA, it still sums the company up pretty well

Ziggler is awesome. He will get his run some day.

Is it worth watching this weeks raw?

Nah not really not much happened, CM Punk and Jericho was given the start of the show again and then forgotten about, The Rock may as well not have turned up this week for all he actually did and the Taker/Triple H/HBK ending was as pointless as all the in-ring altercations between the three so far.

Been a pretty rubbish last 2 weeks which considering they're building towards the biggest event of the year is somewhat disappointing.

Kimi · 20 Mar 2012 at 20:20

Ah if the Rocks on it, ill take a look, might as well enjoy hes work whilst its there

Its Albert/A-Train. No idea if that gimmick will get particularly over, but will be interesting to see what they do with him.

lmao, Albert getting a promo video. He was made a joke of before he left wwe. Hip hop hippo or something.

He has made a pretty big name for himself over in Japan though.

Raw was indeed pretty poor. Its really strange that the two biggest matches of the night include wrestlers that don't wrestler anymore on a weekly basis.

Robert1986 · 21 Mar 2012 at 19:26

Looks like the final card for Mania is done.

John Cena vs. The Rock (John Cena)
The Undertaker vs. Triple H (Undertaker)
Team Teddy vs. Team Johnny (Don't care)
CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho (Jericho)
Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus (Sheamus)
Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show (Cody)
Randy Orton vs. Kane (Orton)
Kelly Kelly & Maria Menounos vs. Divas Champion Beth Phoenix & Eve (Toilet break)

He also helped give the greatest entrance theme ever.

Two things about that. Firstly, I saw Eve with Beth and it took me a couple of seconds to remember that Eve was actually a heel. Though what happened to Nattie? Did she end up farting so much nobody will go near her, or something stupid like that?
Also, who on earth is Maria Menounos?

lol. That entrance theme is classic. Is that Kid Rock? Yeah, sounds like him. Brilliant. Always thought they were a gay heel faction with that song.
