New week should be good....we shall see what happens with Punk but that was a WM type match with cena and punk

[claud3]

They need to have that type of WM match with Cena vs Rock at WM29

[XMW]

Yep, this sets up PUNK VS TAKER and it all starts on raw tomorrow night

Well.. you were way off..

About Donald Trump; I disagree with the opinions I've read here. Donald Trump is actually one of very few who makes ALOT of sense to have in the (celebrity wing) HOF. He hosted both WM 4 and 5 at the Trump Plaza and he appeared in one of the hottest fueds of 2007 during WM season which no doubt helped get them that huge buyrate.

Unlike dorks like Drew Carey he actually added alot to the program whenever he was there (commercial free Raw ftw!)

So yeah, I definitely welcome Donald Trump in the HOF and I for one think this is a very much deserved celebrity inductees.

Btw am I the only one who thought the Punk/Cena match was amazing? God what an awesome match, especially for free tv - those 2 have great chemistry. I loved the Piledriver and Powerbomb spot. Best WWE match of 2013 so far for sure.

Lmfao!!!!!

Yea it wasn't much you missed I'm sure next week the match will be made official

Punk and Cena match was great last night, and it's so weird to say that about Cena, since he's usually a terrible seller/actor, in my opinion. I hated the way he did that jumping in the ring at the 9 count again though... Other than that, it was brilliant!

And apologies if this was posted here when it was more relevant, but I only saw this video today and think it's pretty darn great.

[$Greatness$]

OK, Beck got dealt with. lulz!

[LastManDancing]

Yo, that Swagger.

Edit: Watched Raw on youtube and that main event! It was very good.

[claud3]

I loved the main event on raw, this old school theme for this coming weeks raw

Sounds like it could be a trend the WWE might get into and that sounds good

[mankind]

Was Brocks head really split open?

[XMW]

Yep, he got busted open the hard way.

I don't know about that. The last one they did was back in 2010 and I thought they would do it every year.

They never showed the commercial for it on the UK broadcast of Raw, so I just had hearsay from the Alan Harper wannabe and Jerry Lawler after they came back from the commercial break.
Part of me is excited, just to see some of the old stuff that was great, like Mark Henry coming out to his Sexual Chocolate music last time - that, for example, probably won't happen this time around, since he's fresh off of a return and they need to build him back up as the asskicker.

[Yuuichi]

WWE creative is concern with Punk losing the last two WWE pay-per-views and then again to John Cena. They feel a lost to The Undertaker at WrestleMania could really damage one of the two names who draw on the road currently, the other being John Cena.

From pwinsider

Haha good good they see momentum loss as a bad thing to

[XMW]

I call BS on that report, they've probably had Undertaker vs Punk planned for months now, obviously they knew he was gonna lose at the RR to the Rock and his subsequent rematch beforehand.. And there is no way he's winning from Taker, so they had these big losses planned out well ahead of time. If they were really concerned with the damage they could've easily worked around it. It's called protective booking, Hogan had it all his career lol.

I'm not bashing you, Yuuichi, as you obviously didn't write that report, but it's likely one of those yearly rumors to stir up the "Undertaker may very well lose the streak this year" rumor.

Haha I know you're not. The report likely holds no meaning but I mean if not punk what Taker loses to Cena next year? We will see but I do not see Taker losing ever.

Undertaker has stated in the past he wants the streak to end. I kinda understand him because honestly, the streak has gotten bigger than him. Whenever people talk about his greatest matches it's always his WM matches, most people only remember his streak. (unfortunately).

I don't see the streak ending though. It was supposed to end against King Kong Bundy (ending before starting right?) but thanks to Bundy we still have the streak. I'm also pretty sure Orton or Batista was offered/chosen by Taker to end the streak but out of respect they declined.

Triple H also has said the streak is legendary and he doesn't want to see it end. If John Cena ended it it would be a crime commited against the wrestling business. I think it could even kill off a part of the WWE audience and I mean that.

I believe Kane was once the person that Undertaker wanted to end his streak, and I suppose that some years ago (or maybe even now because of story) he seems the most relevant person, but apparently Kane also turned it down.

I'm in agreement that Cena ending the streak could most possibly do more harm than any good at all. I would think that the kid fans would still be behind him, no matter what, but surely some of the more "mature" fans who are Cena fans would be against the idea - that's what I'd like to think.

With all this being said, I'd concur and conclude that the streak should remain intact and there isn't really anyone who could or should justifiably end the streak, since it's synonymous with the Undertaker and has a legacy of its own.
If next year is indeed his last match, and he still wins (that's what I'm hoping for), I'm sure they know that it has to be a hell of a match; basically on the same level as his match with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 25.

[DeviousOne]

If punk loses he needs to go away for a couple months so people can forget about the 3 str8 losses in PPV's i think

[claud3]

report means nothing, since it's a given that TAKER will win at WM29. The article makes no sense, the creative team never worried about cena when he had the worse year ever

[Yuuichi]

The streak is one of the very few thinga still of value in the wee. The title got credit back from beings cenas title to am actual one when punk held it. Now it seems to be returning to hot potato cena. If cena ended the streak i would never watch wwe ever again. That is a spit in the face. Id rather rock ended it.
