Was not feeling RAW tonight. Titus O'Neil was great on commentary last week. This week... sacrifice him to Ryberg to open up the show. Khali... fast forward. Cole's sit down interview with "The Shield" was pretty underwhelming. Yay more AJ/Cena/Vickie! What is the point of this story? AJ & Cena are smoochin'... who gives a fuck! There's nothing at stake since AJ is no longer GM. Mysterio/D-Bry was good. An injured Cena gets a clean win over Ziggler. Why even bother continuing this feud when the heel can't even get a dirty win over an already injured babyface? Cesaro beats the monkey piss out of Sheamus... Sheamus wins via count out. Would a loss to Cesaro really have been that bad for Sheamus?!?! Sandow beat Ryder. That's something. Atleast one rising star got a win tonight. Main event was ok. Hope Punk is fine, looked like he hurt his knee. Agree on most of that. I enjoyed Bryan/Mysterio, and was kinda glad that Bryan "lost" that RAWactive crap. Khali on anything is nutsack. For the first time in over 7 months (Wrestlemania maybe) I watched a WHOLE Sheamus match thanks to Antonio Castagnoli. He looked like a champ out there and I wouldn't be surprised to see him losing the US belt and going for WHC in the near future. The guy's fucking amazing. Great to see him slowly adapting and bringing back his old offense. Cena is fucking sucks balls. I don't remember seeing Orton at all on the show, so that's always good. Even if he was, I'm grateful for not remembering it. The Shield interview was good. Ambrose is great, Rollins is, well, bland, and the other guy is just another guy. Ambrose's got it. I'm looking forward to the conclusion of the year and hopefully of most of these hideous programs they got going. I hope also, that this new faction thing is done right, and doesn't end up squashed by The Ryback in some form or another. Or Cena.

You guys want to help settle an argument me and my brother had a few days ago? Has THE RYBACK been set up for failure? Cool kids say no.

He's got a terrible gimmick, catchphrases, & moveset. They pushed him way too hard, way too soon. And this push came at a point where he can't win big PPV matches cause it would ruin their Rock-centric plans for early 2013.

But he's been pushed to the moon and taken Cena's place a few times. He's also massively over with the "Feed Me More" shtick, and still has yet to lose cleanly. He's been protected, not set up to fail.

Well, I wouldn't say he's purposefully been set up to fail. I'm sure Vince & company would love for him to be the next big thing. I just don't see that happening.

I can see him in the main event of Mania, after Cena/Rock twice in a lifetime and Punk/Taker. Maybe against Lesnar.

Thing is, even Brock Lesnar found trouble at the start of his career once or twice. The Ryback's getting more of a Khali like push, beating those at the top, and, much like Khali, once he gets his first clean loss, nobody's gonna care anymore.
People can't relate that much to a super strong never losing machine of a man. People love to see their heros rise slowly to the top, you know. Working their ass off for that big old belt they crave. Much like Punk and Bryan, and even Cena.

I completely agree with Ben. To say Ryback is going to be in a marquee match at Mania is ridiculous. After his feud with Punk he's going right back down to the midcard. You say he took Cena's place as if WWE had a choice given Cena's injury. Ryback has been set up to fail, he was built up so that Punk could have someone to beat. He has already lost, the interest in him is already gone.
