8/6/12 Monday Night Raw #1002: The GOAT Appreciation Night

[thevarangian]

it's pretty clear to me that she's going to go heel. there's no way they are going to have a face GM for smackdown and raw and there's no way Booker T is going heel soooo

would be cool if she gets bryan a title match and helps him win! then again thats just me still dreaming for a true bryan/aj reunion and i'll just end up sad at the end of it all because its not going to happen

It's fukking Brodus Clay, who gives a shyt.

Besides, how is Sandow's basic ass offense "too far" when shyt like this was happening in the past:

Raw 2001 - The Power Trip Beat Down The Hardy Boyz & Lita - YouTube

That one segment shyts on the last 6 years of WWE.

Yeah they been putting him in face like matches for a few weeks now. It's like whenever they run out of faces they just use Kane. Dude went from wheeling people off ramps to fan favourite rather seamlessly.

Kane always gets a face pop. That is literally why he's been around forever even when booking rape his character. (katie vick etc)

Once the Cena "Embrace the Hate" shyt failed, he went right back to being face. I guess he was heel during the Blandy feud but he went over that chump CLEAN as fukk at WM

I still couldn't believe that, lol. That was the shocker of the night for me and I heavily enjoyed it

In the segment-by-segment, C.M. Punk vs. Rey Mysterio gained 123,000 viewers.

Alberto Del Rio vs. Christian also gained 123,000 viewers.

Randy Orton vs. Big Show at the top of the hour which also coincided with the familiar 9 p.m. start time gained 480,000 viewers.

Ryback vs. Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks plus Titus O’Neil & Darren Young vs. Primo & Epico gained 78,000 viewers. Looking at that lineup, you’d expect that to lose which likely shows Ryback is catching on.

The Damien Sandow/Brodus Clay angle lost 135,000 viewers.

The return of Kelly Kelly, facing Eve Torres, gained 113,000 viewers.

The highest rated segment of the show was Shawn Michaels, Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman and HHH, which gained 232,000 viewers, which is not a strong gain for the 10 p.m. hour, doing a 3.45 quarter.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Alex Riley lost 390,000 viewers.

Kane vs. The Miz lost 208,000 viewers.

And John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan gained 345,000 viewers, which is not a strong overrun segment, finishing at 3.27.

Rybread, tag division on a come up

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

tag division getting shine + sandow =

It's good for now. I like how Cole was talking about how strong the tag division is (even if there's only 4 teams). Gabriel & Kidd should be a permanent team as well.

As for Sandow, I don't know much about him but I'm glad they gave him a good angle like that against Brodus. Kinda reminded me of when Val Venis beat the fukk outta Rikishi near the entrance.
