I don't expect The Rock to be on Raw tonight. I would guess that Cena turns his focus on getting the Championship from The Miz. I have to assume that Orton vs Punk is over. Orton has destroyed New Nexus and beaten Punk, so not sure what else there would be. I guess they are gonna start rebuilding feuds this week, and we will see what happens. I hope Sin Cara gets a match. I like what I saw on Raw and Smackdown. I hope Daniel Bryant is involved in something as well. So basically, I haven't really heard any speculation as to what will be on Raw tonight. I I hope it is a good show.
I also wanna say, RIP Alex Whybrow. It is always sad to me when a wrestler dies. My prayers go out to is family, friends, and fans.
- RAW kicks off with Cole getting his own intro. It is him, Lawler and Josh Matthews calling the show tonight.
- Cena is out first, he is talking about him and The Rock at Wrestlemania 28. Crowd is not popping for it at all. He says that the match will be for the WWE belt. Biggest match has to have the biggest prize. He wants to issue a challenge to Punk but out comes Orton. He wants a shot. Now out comes Morrison, did not expect him in this. Now out comes Vickie and Dolph. He is Perfection, I like his t shirt. Now out comes R Truth. Haven't seen him in weeks on Raw. Now the GM weighs in. There will be a 5 man gauntlet match. The winner is the Number one contender and faces the Miz at Extreme rules.
- Tonight Jack Swagger vs The King.If Jack Wins Cole never has to face Lawler Again. If The King Wins he has to fight Lawler Again.
- Also Tonight they are teasing that Edge May retire.
- Coming back, there is a promo for someone. "Awesome Kong"? Is it her? Please be her.
- Eve Torres vs Brie Bella Diva Championship March Before the match Eve has the Ref Mark the non fighting member. This is the longest Diva match I have seen in a while. The Divas pull a switcheroo but are caught. During the distraction Brie is able to hit her move and win the Diva Belt. At least Cole wasn't yelling throughout the match.Winner : Brie Bella watch here
- Eve is upset after winning the belt and it is tearing up the Diva locker Room
- Sin Cara vs Primo These two are putting on quite a show. Sin hits a Flying Hurricanrana out of the ring! Sin Cara has a really good finisher with both coming off the top rope! Awesome move it needs a name. Winner : Sin Cara Watch now here.
- The Corre is standing in the Ring. Wade Barrett is in the ring He is turning on the Corre members. The Corre member are arguing and out comes Mark Henry, Santino, Daniel Bryan, and Evan Bourne. APPLE. Is there name. Allied People Powered by Loathing Everything
- Apple vs Corre Eight man tag match This is actually a good match. I still don't think the Corre is on the same page. I wish they had more Tag matches. link. Winner Corre
- After the match Jr comes down to the ring, he will be in Lawler's corner. Cole starts yelling at him and a big fight breaks out with Cole hiding in his Cole Mine. Jerry Lawler vs Jack Swagger must be next.
- Jerry Lawler vs Jack Swagger. This match determines if Lawler can fight Cole again. JR is in Lawler's corner and Cole is in Jack's. Lawler is a great showman in the ring. Cole is so distracting and terrible when he yells throughout a match. I really wanna get my hands on him. Business is picking up and Lawler is turning things around... Cole is up on the apron. The crowd is behind Lawler. Cole causes a distraction and Lawler wins. Winner Jerry Lawler. Cole is in shock. He is in Jack Swagger's Face. Cole is going to far. putting his hands on Jack. He then slaps him. He then runs from Jack and has no allies. Lawler gets to pick the match and stipulation. Lawler and JR vs Jack Swagger and Cole.This will be at extreme rules. Lawler still will get to pick the stipulation. I expect it will be job for job I hope JR comes back. Link here.
- They show a picture package of Triple H vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania.You can watch that here .
- Here comes Edge, he has a big announcement. He doesn't seem happy seems reflective. He has had a neck condition for 8 years. he has to retire or he would risk being in a wheelchair. Crowd chants "Thank You Edge" He runs down his career and mentions his time in the Brood.So, for the benefit of those with flash photography, Take a pic of Edge now. Sure he will be in Hall of fame on day. Metal Rods in his teeth? Wow. Glad he can retire and still live a good life. Word Title is now Vacant. "Read about and discuss here. Video Link Here
- " I came to play!" Out comes The Miz to pick up the energy after that sad announcement. He is ringside for the five man gauntlet match to see who faces him
- Randy Orton vs Dolph Ziggler Match 1 or 4 Dolph is in control of this match early on. I can't see him beating Orton though. Orton is getting ready to make his move DDT off the ropes and out comes New Nexus. Orton gets pinned and Nexus is beating up Orton. I don't see CM Punk so I guess new Leadership.Winner Dolph Ziggler.
- Dolph Ziggler vs R Truth Match 2 of 4 Dolph is in Control of this from the start. I like what The Miz said. "There is only one legend in the WWE and it is the WWE Championship". R truth is making a run now. Sorry but to me he looks like his breath stinks. Back to the match though, Out of no where R truth Gets a pin on Dolph. Winner R Truth. .
- R Truth vs Morrison Match 3 of 4 I just knew they would give Cena the last match. Whatever. I know Morrison won't win nor will Truth. I guess they are gonna give it to Cena. In all actuality, this match sucks. Morrison supposedly has heat in the locker room for how he treated Trish we'll see. More here. Truth just doesn't have look or Charisma to win it all. Winner R Truth. watch here.
- R Truth vs John Cena Match 4 of 4 The Crowd is hot. Chanting "Lets go Cena' and"Cena Sucks". Cena is taking his time. Not focused, but he is taking it to R Truth. Truth keeps kicking out and the Crowd is getting behind him. I am pulling for Truth. Oh no Chaos. Riley and the Miz attack Cena and R Truth. Double Disqualification. Gm Interruption. Now there are 2 Number one contenders. There will be a triple threat match for Championship in 3 weeks. Winner None. Watch here.
- After Raw, Cena had this to say to about Edge.

i wasn't going to watch tonight
but the edge thing has me curious and i have to see more of sin carra, he is amazing in the air but the dark matches of his i have seen everything else seems VERY spotty. but i am excited to see his development
Mistakes happen especially with high risk moves. That doesn't bother me.
I’m actually shocked that they pulled it off on the second try. Still, Primo held his own in that match and sold Sin Cara’s moves.
Really good match
A few missed spots, but good overall. I like Cara.

primo did do a great job selling
and that move at the end is as much primo as sin carra impressive as it was. but im just saying that he botched it and its the little things that take you form jobbing to being a star, the kid seems close in his work though

That crowd was hot for Sin Cara. It’s nice to see how much the respect and adoration for the “cruiserweight” types has grown over the years. I’m an absolute noob when it comes to wrestling, but was I the only one who though the crowd was real hot for a guy making his official debut? He lived up to the hype, even though he botched the first attempt for that finish, they played it off well, and the way Primo racked himself during the botch sold it as something that might have been planned. Nothing like seeing a guy crush his goods on the top rope.
And that finish, amazing. As Sin Cara gets more comfortable in front of the WWE crowd I suspect he’ll look even more refined working in the ring. Very excited for him.

Does he fall into “big man” category? I know he’s big, but he’s real lean for his height.

correction...
when i say big i mean GIANTS big, andre, show, and that big huge Mexican guy in the furry outfit. the undertaker seems to be in that transitional territory between GIANT and just big guys like scott hall the undertakers is amazing and does huge stuff for a man of his height but his lankiness separates him from guys like show
by theroosevelts on Apr 11, 2011 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions
That’s what I figured, and yeah, Big Show is top of the heap when it comes to skilled Giants. I’ve never been too into Giants though. The novelty wears off quick and typically you’re left with a big guy who can’t work a mic and isn’t compelling or capable of working really exciting matches.

Taker is taller than Andre was.
"...Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons" - Douglas Adams
i wouldn't be surprised by that but andre
was a product of his time, no computers in every home to measure him against others but andre is andre, and his size was very special in addition to his showmanship at the time
also i hear he could drink

Anyone else growing tired of the Lawler/Cole angle? Seems to me like the climax should have been at WM, but maybe they’re trying to milk it since the match at Mania felt like a complete flop, and that DQ…whine whine whine…I know, I’m a broken record.
I do however, really like that they have JR hanging around.

im tiried of the angle but
i think cole is the best heel in the game now think about it, even the marks like me get caught up in hating him, the only thing about it that really sucks is that he is terrible at being an announcer AND a heel when he is calling matches he calls it straight a lot instead of doing the bobby heenan/jesse the body role

That's real cute, Lawler. Real cute, Lawler.
You think you cute, Lawler? You think you cute, Lawler? You think you cute, Lawler? You think you cute? You think you cute? Lol.
Nuff’ said. This might be better if he was less annoying.

Are you an idiot? Are you an idiot? I paid you good money. I paid you good money.
The repetitiveness is awfully annoying.
I suspect there will be some sort of match addition to make it more “extreme” would be lucky to have a cage involved. Don’t want to see Cole running for ten minutes.

Or an Strap Match with just Lawler and Cole.
Have them run around the ring for four minutes and end it.
I would want to see
I match with them chained together. That would be great.

You can see the scar on Austin's neck.

Any word on if this is script or serious? If it’s serious, that’s a shame.

I think its serious. Everything he said is nearly the exact same thing Austin said after
wrestling The Rock at WM17.
Is it just me or is it weird that two guys who made their careers off the spear (Edge, Rhyno) both have neck problems?
I don't remember how Rhyno broke his neck,
but I think Edge broke his neck while being German suplexed by Angle. I don’t know if that’s for sure.
a ton of people could step up
in the last few years so much young talent has had a strap put on it, seamus could dolph zigler could, cm punk could, wade barret defiantly could, they already have rey mysterio, orton could go there, a ton of people could step up
by theroosevelts on Apr 11, 2011 10:36 PM EDT up reply actions
Alberto Del Rio is there too. It remains to be seen if the WWE pushing any of these young
stars besides Rio and Punk.
well it wont be hogans turn
but i mean any of those guys can step on to fill the star power

this could be morrison's time to step up?
and leave behind that terrible prince of parkour title it sucks, and if anyone deserves to be compared to parkour its clearly jeff hardy running on the guardrail
Does every black guy
have to have Paydirt as a finisher?

I wanted to vote Edge
But I hated seeing him retire. I thought about asking what the most significant part of tonight. I thought that would be a landslide for edge though. I voted Sin Cara. I think he has potential.

My buddy lives in Tampa and was contemplating going to Extreme Rules.
Then I get this text:
“When debating on tickets for Extreme Rules, putting R-Truth in the main event for the WWE Championship sure helps you come to a decision.”
I agree
Truth has not been in any title picture lately. He hasn’t even been on RAW. Over night no one voted for any of the main even matches. That is because it was booked so bad. I could believe Dolph. I knew it wouldn’t be Morrison. Oh well, I knew Cena would be in the match.

Like, ok, I can buy him eventually main eventing.
Sure. But for the love of all that is holy, build him up. You don’t just randomly throw the guy in there. He hasn’t been on TV in ages, and was a healthy scratch at your biggest event of the year. I guess we’re fully into the WWE’s off-season.
