Well damn. Can I just say though, I'm loving all this "contract signing" stuff. Having Laurinaitis actively recruit/get involved with new guys is such a great alternative to 'show up on TV, have squash matches, sent down to NXT, released'.

Yeah, I think it's a great idea and it really plays up to him being the "vice president of talent relations" recruiting all this brilliant talent as well as bigging him up as the "general manager of Raw and Smackdown" meaning he has the authority to sign these superstars too.

Mmmhmmm. Johnny might make my skin crawl, but his presence is definitely doing good things. For the most part.

And don't forget Ziggler shedding the last remnants of credibility he had left by losing to someone WWE desperatly wants "the Universe" to like, I think it's gonna be Big Show today...

Yeah, he's doing awesome things. Obviously it's not him bringing back Lesnar but they're certainly making Laurinitis look legit by "bringing" in Brock Lesnar to legitimize the company again.

Anyway, enough going off topic here. BACK TO AMBROSE!

Ridiculous isn't it. How could someone go from main eventing the Royal Rumble and being involved in a feud with the WWE Champion to tag-teaming in a non-existent division and losing to the likes of Brodus Clay. Only in the WWE!

There fixed your post to the WWE standart... AKA inserting a new buzzword in sentences ad nauseam in the hopes that it trends on twitter for 2 and a half minutes so they can brag about it.

For the second time in a row, no less.

And he was part of the matches but not part of the feuds, like an indirect vessel or something...

In 2011, the match was about Vickie getting back at Edge by getting his world championship.

In 2012, the match was about Laurinatis getting back at Punk by getting the title off him.

Seriously, doesn't Vince remember what actually killed WCW?! Their shortsighted booking in the hopes of outranking RAW on cable TV, that's what! But today it's even more nonsensical because there's no competition anymore.

It will be better if you go to bed. Chances of something truly exciting happening are slim, let alone Ambrose debuting.

Beatles123 · 04-23-2012, 04:06 PM

Don;t let them get you down. There's ALWAYS good things about RAW. They may be scarce, but there always is at least ONE thing worth watching and tonight it may just be AMBROSE!

**DesolationRow** · 04-23-2012, 04:13 PM

It's kind of funny how we're supposed to hate John Laurinaitis and love Teddy Long (who was often depicted as corrupt and venal and a dupe for a woman in her 20s making moves on him and willing to cave to pressure, working with evil figures like Vince McMahon to screw beloved superstars like The Undertaker, make injured workers wrestle, ensuring that their injuries would multiply, the list goes on and on), but Laurinaitis is actually being depicted as making substantial changes and actively working assiduously to bring new talents to the forefront. Hahaha.

Yep. It's pretty clear how creative views Ziggler. He's a tool to make others look like a million bucks and as the foot soldier for the real heel the storyline is truly about.
