Fine, I'll start.
Enjoyed RAW last night... only a few gripes.
Miz is a terrible babyface. Does the same shit he does as a heel, but cranks the annoying up to 11. Makes Cena look like a competent comedian.
Apparently Cena & Sheamus had some sort of backstage comedy bit... fast forward.
Vince & Vickie suck together. Just awkward.
Hell No vs PTP was good & I liked how The Shield slowly made their way through the crowd during the match.
Punk's promo where he dared the audience to change the channel & leave the arena was phenomenal. Sucks Miz came out & derailed the segment.
ADR vs Sin Cara was really good. Shame they botched the finish.
I'm liking this Brad Maddox fellow. Nice little d-bag heel. I wanna see what he can do in the ring without getting squashed.
Cesaro vs Kofi vs Barrett vs Truth was awesome. Antonio Cesaro is my favorite thing going in WWE right now & it makes me very happy that they seem to be building him up the right way.
I can't get enough Sandow. Such a great old school gimmick & he pulls it off perfectly. Interested to see the pay off for this apprenticeship angle.
Loved Punk ripping Miz to shreds on the mic in the closing segment. "Yeah, strap me up & ask me if I think it's stupid that his microphone is upside down." ;D And what they did with Ryberg was pretty smart... saving him till the end of the show.

Miz is a terrible babyface. Does the same shit he does as a heel, but cranks the annoying up to 11. Makes Cena look like a competent comedian. The Miz is terrible in any situation. Heel, face, on the mic, or in the ring. I have never had any idea what people see in him. Vince & Vickie suck together. Just awkward. Vickie sucks whether Vince is with her or not. She only gets heat because of her annoying voice. Punk's promo where he dared the audience to change the channel & leave the arena was phenomenal. Sucks Miz came out & derailed the segment. Yeah, great promo! Cesaro vs Kofi vs Barrett vs Truth was awesome. Antonio Cesaro is my favorite thing going in WWE right now & it makes me very happy that they seem to be building him up the right way. Yes! I can't get enough Sandow. Such a great old school gimmick & he pulls it off perfectly. Interested to see the pay off for this apprenticeship angle. Double yes!

I agree about Miz, but at least his general awfulness fits him as a heel. Nothing about this guy is something fans can get behind & cheer for.
Also agree about Vickie, but at least she just sucks when she's doing her normal stuff. Add Vince trying to goad her into making matches... now she sucks & the segment is awkward.

Sin Cara sings just for Ben.

So now its Shield v. Hell No and Ryback. Sounds ...good? I would've preferred Shield to take Punk's place and offer to defend the belt for him because of his injury though, but I'm excited for Bryan in a TLC.

I like that, I'm actually interested in that match a lot more than the original.
On the topic of Miz, yeah he hasn't been lighting the world on fire recently. I used to think he was at least a decent hand whenever they needed new main eventers but now it's not looking good for him. Punk buried him completely in that segment and his only comeback was a your mom joke...

Nice episode of RAW tonight heading into the PPV.
I liked the big brawl to close the show, although (fantasy booking time) I would've had Ziggler cash in the briefcase during the chaos.
Cesaro continues his reign of pure excellence. That finish was amazing... catching Kofi in mid-air & spinning him into a backbacker... I was expecting a brutal European uppercut... pleasantly surprised. #UnitedStatesOfAntonio
Ziggler vs Sheamus was great.
Really dug that Shield promo. Much better than the interview they did with Cole a couple weeks back.
The spontaneous "Cody's Mustache" chant. Well played, New Jersey.
On the down side... babyface Miz still blows, AJ's still a doofus, & more Vince/Vickie.

Thoughts about RAW:
-Rhodes and Sandow are one of my favorite things on WWE right now. Even if they're just thrown together because they're asshole bad guys.
-I love WWE's way of telling you "Rey Mysterio only lost because of Sin Cara" last night. Rey gets a decisive win over Sandow, yet Cara misses to do something even remotely right. Fire him already!
-Punk's super awesome, though Flair rocked his boat with the ex wives commentary. Shield's just awesome too. I'm looking forward to seeing them in the Royal Rumble. I'm hoping they cost Ryback the Rumble, thus setting up some Wrestlemania match or getting into the Elimination Chamber.
-Cesaro's fucking awesome too. He makes Ryback and even Sheamus be worth watching.
-I love how they HAD to turn Del Rio face because Sin Cara never got off the ground. It's hilarious to me. Even Ricardo gets more cheers than Sin Cara. I mean, I think the divas get more cheers than Sin Cara.
-Show vs. Sheamus, oh for god's sake, please stop it.
-Cena's so old and stale, the people actually likes it when he gets screwed over. Don't matter who does it. Good for AJ and congrats to Big E. Langston on his RAW debut. Much NXT talent promoting to the main roster now.
-No Randy? Good riddance.

I'm with ya on everything but the Sin Cara rage, benny. Going a little overboard now. Ever since they paired him with Rey, he's been tolerable. Hasn't botched, hasn't injured himself, hasn't failed a drug test. I could understand your current hate if he were a top guy like Cena or Sheamus, but he isn't. He's a mid-carder at best & he's the #2 guy in the #3 tag team. Plus he took a great bump at TLC.I think it's time to lay off the Sin Cara flavored Haterade... at least until he starts fuckin' up again.

Flair vs Punk + Shield = Orgasmic! Yes! Everything involving Flair last night (minus the silly yes/no/woo backstage segment) was just amazing! The rest of the show was forgettable. 3MB gets the longest match of the night? Seriously? Does anybody know anything about the large breasted gentleman who debuted at the end? Can he actually work of is he just another WWE musclehead?

^It's Big E. Langston, and he's ok though they've never really given him anything longer than 3 minutes. He also likes to go for 5 counts instead of 3 counts....so that's something.
RAW and TLC were both great. The Shield are fantastic and their TLC match was the best one I've seen in years. Flair was pure gold last night, along with Punk. AJ and her romance angles continue to be the single worst thing in the history of television though.
Face Miz really sucks. He doesn't know what to do and actively acknowledges that his MizTV thing is trash TV. What's the logic behind that? Dragging ADR down with him isn't going to do them any favors, although ADR wasn't really doing anything really. Ricardo is still awesome though. ALBERTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DEL RIOOOOOOOO! Love it.

Yeah, good guy Miz is twice as annoying, and just comes off as an awkward old frat guy trying to be funny. Alberto, on the other hand, is a godsend.
