Ryback is already sort of like that. He seems to have some kind of caveman intellect gimmick, where he only says a few word at a time. Sometimes just one word.

Like he'll yell "stupid!", and sound like a caveman in the ring (have seen him do it like 3 times now), or does the "feed me more" thing, or will say, "you're done", "finish it", etc. Usually doesn't say much.

I kinda like it. A guy you can't reason with. He does need to increase his arsenal a bit in the ring though, and work damage a little better.

If he's there solely to put over Punk and Ryback then it's a colossal waste of time. Needs to be an announcement that affects the whole roster. I hope leads to the end of supershows and no longer having to see Big Show, Orton, Sheamus and Del Rio or any Smackdown talents on RAW. The Supershow concept and RAW being 3 hours. has killed Smackdown and killed the midcard.

Believe it or not those two factors have more of a negative effect on the product than bad booking.

That could be possible.. I mean.. it's about the ratings right?
Sounds even smarter than make a match about who is the next GM or a debut out of nowhere. (Of course I wouldn't complain xD)
Hm, but we'll see tomorrow. :) I'm excited.

I really don't get all the "excitement" about Vinny Mac, let's remember this isn't 98, there is NO Stone Cold, this isn't 99 there isn't an Undertaker, this isn't 2005 there is NO ruthless aggression. Heck it's not even 2011 with a red hot CM Punk.

This is 2012

More importantly it will be Oct 8th 2012, with just under 30 or so days till the American election. Does anybody realistically think Vince on Raw will REALLY mean anything an or risk anything just a few weeks away from Linda's big day?

Heck I would be really impressed if Vince just came out and basically informed the "WWE Universe" God I hate that term, anyways I wish he would just come clean and say for the next four or so weeks the WWE will be so clean you could eat off it.

Yep just good clean American fun for the next few weeks, Brodus Clay dancing with potential voters children, the Divas showing how much Linda supports women's rights, the STAND UP for WWE will be mention in EVERY promo, Sheamus will smile and talk about how he and Ronald McDonald over came bullying to BE A STAR and finally John Cena...well Superman will save the day and just smile every hour on the hour with the WWE Title and remind everyone to RISE ABOVE CANCER and that he has granted the MOST MAKE A WISH EVER.

All nice and clean until election night, then have Vince come back on TV and say what REALLY going to happen the next four or so years.

At least we can agree it's not Raw during the Carlito and Chris Masters in the main event years.

I don't understand how but Vince is a draw so I guess this makes sense. He'll come out, not say anything too important, and the crowd will still eat it up regardless. Hopefully we don't get a terrible, awkward, forced promo between McMahon and Cena but I'm sure that it'll happen at the top of one of the hours.

The biggest problem, is that they will attribute this all down to Cena not being there when we all know it was due to the huge football game and controversy.

So this Monday, Cena and Vince on show, ratings go up, and they assume its Cena that is drawing and Punk not.

Whoever said it's going to be the AJ vs Heyman for GM angle nailed it. Pretty obvious. Punk will probably do the BITW thing too. Says if he loses Punks fired, Punk wins and Heyman is GM. Lesnar interferes, Punk wins and that new stable carries the show for a while. Everyone wins. Except AJ, the slut.
 
#211 ·
Except that Paul Heyman isn't the only person who is after AJ's GM position or has everyone forgot that Vickie Guerrero is also after the Raw GM position as well. So I can't see a if "Punk wins Heyman gets the GM position" stipulation, with Vickie Guerrero in the mix as well. Besides, with Cena banged up and unable to do too much physically there's not much they can do with this feud. So the announcement of the Cena/Punk match may not even take place until the last Raw before Hell in a Cell and they still have 3 weeks to stretch things out a bit with legends trying to convince Punk to accept Cena's challenge.

Given how epic the Ryback/Punk confrontation was last week, they need to keep Punk focused on that, not have him interact with Vince.
It's far more interesting than his feud with Cena, because Ryback is a face you can actually get behind. Someone who doesn't pander to the crowd, he just fucking destroys people. An old school kind of wrestler against a more manipulative, chatty heel. I think it's been really well done so far.

I'd love it if Vince uses his appearance to help put over a new wrestler, like Sandow.

Personally I see nothing Ryback brings better than Cena. I can't imagine he'll have half as good of a match with Punk as Cena will, and a wrestler that's not talking, for whatever reason, will always have a completely flat character. No depth whatsoever.

I'm no Cena fan, but at least he shows qualities on a regular basis.
