Nah hold the f*ck up...Let's talk about The Rock not being on Monday Night Raw

[ML29]

I know you did not say tonight was a great Raw...dudes are saying they fell asleep during that shyt.

never once said it was great. The Show was Good, and still the best out of what they've done so far in 2013. Which isn't saying much by the way. The only thing that I didn't like was the weak ending to the final segment. I also wasn't crazy bout both US and Ic champs losing clean but that's just so it not worth talking about.

This raw was weak in the beginning but picked up. Punk/y2j that's my short order savior

 

[Reggie]

At least he wasn't available via satellite.

theyre walking Brock into a pedigree and a wrestlemania loss

of course we all know this, The brock story will be awesome until the King of Noses brings his tried ass back to TV.

I could actually like him again if he just stayed an executive.

 

[Jmare007]

You're asking me if I knew that the WWE Champion who won the belt the week before wasn't going to show up the next week?

It's been known he was going to skip last night's RAW since before he even returned

Brock's also walking into a multimillion dollar deal for making a dozen appearances over two years. He probably doesn't give a shyt about that given the money he's banking.

 

[61 Corpses]

This was probably the best Raw they've done for 2013 so far

 

[Metta World Movement]

Not usually one to defend The Dwayne, but....maybe not seeing the champion and the title on a weekly basis will make him/the title look more important in the long run

Kinda like playing a Mario game....you know about Bowser while playing it, but you don't really fukk with him till near the end of the game, which makes the battle/victory seem more special

 

[ML29]

What Raw episode this year has been better? keep in mind none of them have been great.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Nah, forreal let's talk about it.

This is something that I knew was going to happen though. He probably won't be on there next Week. This Guy has like 3 or 4 Movies coming out this Year. He'll not be Champion for much longer but it's still Disrespectful as Hell. I wish Dolph was able to Cash In on The Rock at The Royal Rumble, just Imagine the Shine that Ziggles would have gotten if he were to have Cashed In on The Rock after that Bullshyt Win over Punk with Punk watching the whole thing.

Last week? The week when Rock first showed up? That's two.

Last week? The week when Rock first showed up? That's two.

Last week was weak as hell. The only things of note was the Punk Promos and the Heyman Performence review segment with Brock Returning.

The Rock return show was a close second to me.

The bottom line is it was only one show, Rock will be back soon enough. And last night's show was still pretty good even though he wasn't there. Meaning there's nothing really to complain about.

 

[FitzgeraldThomasGrant III]

You do know this is the only Raw Rock is going to miss between now and Wrestlemania. And it is also the first Raw he's missed since his return. He even is showing up at Smackdowns as well. Something CM Punk rarely ever did. It suck to have a Raw without the Champ.It was announced that Rock wasn't going to appear on Raw last night.

Agreed.


Obviously with the business model of live TV things have changed a bit, But it really does make it feel like "oh shyt its on now" when the World Champion appears if you keep their appearances/in ring stuff limited.
