Not much.

Big Show "knocked out" Cena, Edge spear/splashed Show through ringside barrier, Edge "speared" Vickie, and Cena went all "Superman Jesus" (I love that phrase now, so I'm stealing it) and had Show and Edge up for the Attitude Adjustment at the same time. Finish was hitting it on Show, then hitting it on Edge on TOP of Show for the win. Standard entertaining, but not anything special, Cena match.

Question - do you guys think that the finish to the Triple Threat got messed up? It seemed to me that Cena was supposed to FU both Show and Edge at the same time. I think that would have been pretty sick.

Also - $65 on DirecTV, maybe I'm just getting facked.

Methinks I should call Comcast and make sure. Their screen said $39.99, and I probably wouldn't have ordered it for $65. GTFO DirecTV.

For the record, this isn't a plagiarism accusation. It's a private forum.

Apparently we think very, very alike.

Hah, funny. Superman Jesus just seems so apropos as how to describe the way they book Cena so it just comes naturally to people now I guess. I promise I didn't see that anywhere else.

Thought it was awesome. Split the cost of the PPV with my 4 roommates and UT/HBK was worth the price alone. MITB match was cool, although I hated that they didn't have Christian win it. Hardy match spectacular, sweet stunts as expected.

I actually liked the triple threat match, but I actually like Cena.

Other matches were pretty unspectacular aside from being in shock at how well Steamboat can still move.

+1. It really brings a smile to my face to see him out there and not just to do one or two signature moves.

Ok so that ending was sick. Instantly better than everything but HBK/Taker and MITB last night.

why couldn't rey run over and tag dragon just to let him make it official. Minute detail makes a world of difference imo. Dragon should have pinned Jericho too obv.

This RAW has been great, best meaningless ten man tag in the history of wrestling IMO.

Only if they wanted Ricky/Jericho at Backlash. Otherwise they don't want to play up a feud that isn't going to happen. I think they're probably going to go Rey/Jericho in an IC title match for Backlash... only three weeks away.

omg.

edit- why didn't they do something with him at wrestlemania? It's not like WWE didn't know that their card was going to be weak as ****. They def. could have worked Batista in to the HHH/Orton match once the ref gets knocked out or something.

I don't really get the point of Shane in this match, maybe they'll have him lie down for Orton?

Best RAW in a long while.

If indeed they're going Rey vs. Jericho, they easily could've done a finish where Rey disables him then Ricky scores the pin. Jericho could redirect his ire toward Rey from there. If they wanted to put Rey over Jericho, putting Ricky in his corner and giving him the assist would be cool. If they're doing the match you suspect, I'd just as soon see Rey keep the title (but not in a totally clean way) anyhow, I want Jericho back in a world title picture. We'll know more after the 3 hour Raw next week.

Great Raw, and on my third watch a pretty solid Wrestlemania. I hate batista though but I'm resigned to the fact that the marks love him and he'll always be in the picture.

That was a great Raw. WWE officially has me again until Backlash now.

Watched bits of mania again. The legends match is better on repeat viewing (because you can't wait to see Steamboat and then he's all awesome all over the place). HBK/Taker was still amazing. The triple threat was also better than I remember, it was just screwed being after Taker/Michaels. After Taker/Edge was by far the best last year as well, maybe they have him last next year.

WWE kinda sucks now, TNA PPVs are better even though I know they're spotfests.

They should've let Christian win the title, that spot with him and Shelton on the ladder was pretty sick, and got a big pop from the crowd. Then when Punk climbed the ladder, crowd voiced it's disappointment.
