Moving Up The Food Chain



WWE Champion CM Punk found himself face-to-face with Ryback for the second time in as many weeks on Raw and, for the second time, seemed to get cold feet when the human wrecking machine stared him down. The Second City Saint isn’t one to back down from a challenge, though, and Ryback isn’t exactly one to shy away from a fight. Is an official challenge from the undefeated monster looming on the horizon for Punk? Or will the war of attrition continue for another week?​
The Streak Is Over



World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus’ lengthy winning streak was snapped last Wednesday on Main Event when he fell in a Champion vs. Champion Match against CM Punk. With proof that The Great White is, in fact, mortal, will this provide Big Show the opening he needs to exploit Sheamus’ weaknesses going into Hell in a Cell? And more to the point, has Dolph Ziggler finally located the ***** in the armor he’ll need to cash in his Money in the Bank contract?​
Render Unto Cesaro That Which is Cesaro's



He lifts things up and puts them down! U.S. Champion Antonio Cesaro pulled off the most eye-popping moment of last week’s Raw when he hoisted Brodus Clay up for the Neutralizer, eventually driving The Funkasaurus down to deal the big man an unusual loss. It’s clear now that, apart from his linguistic skills, Cesaro’s calling card is his Herculean strength; which enterprising Superstar will be the next one to step to in the ring against him?​
They're The (No.1 Contenders For The...) Tag Team Champions!!!



The field is narrowing down as the Tag Team Tournament begins to draw to a close, and hungry tandems like Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara, The Prime Time Players, Team Rhodes Scholars and “Team Co-Bro” (Santino/Zack Ryder) are still very much in the hunt. which team will outlast the others and challenge Team Hell No for the twin titles, and, most importantly, will Kane & Daniel Bryan be able to stop bickering long enough coming off two big wins to mount a successful defense? Where’s Dr. Shelby when you need him?​
Vinnie Mac in the house and the return of John Cena (after one whole week OMGZ!!)

Discuss.

Re: Raw Discussion Thread 10/8/12: Rise Above Nipples

There isn't enough video to tell the entire story, punk may have been provoked but all the reports are stupid... After studying the video thoroughly... He didn't punch the guy twice...he backhanded him and then pie faces him bacwards...either way it looks bad and Vince slack jawed expression said everything... I wonder If someone in the audience got the entire altercation... Seeing as everyone has a video camera on their phone these days... I can't see punk just punching a guy for no fucking reason unless he's turned heel on reality....

That fan that got punched by Punk is about to see alot of money come his way. Good for him, he deserves it. You can't just punch someone like that. That's a big no no.

Re: Raw Discussion Thread 10/8/12: Rise Above Nipples

The 'Ryback or Cena' stipulation is an obvious tease, though CM Punk is obviously going to go for the guy he has taken on countless times and is coming off an injury as opposed to an unknown wrestler. He'll pick John Cena, and then Ryback will go to do something else, most likely to feud with Encore and put them out of their misery.

Re: Raw Discussion Thread 10/8/12: Rise Above Nipples

When they announced C.M. Punk Vs. Mr. McMahon, I rolled my eyes & was as pessimistic as can be. I have to admit though, that main event was incredible. The crowd was hype as fuck to the point that the cameras were shaking. Ryback was mega-over when his theme hit. Punk hit a goddamn fan. The kendo stick fight was fun. Vince taking that much of a beating at the age 67 is insane. Punk getting thrown by McMahon over the table was gross. Vince was bleeding from the eye and the ear. Cena came out & threw Punk back into the ring to keep him in the picture. It was perfect, honestly, & I think the overrun will get a big number. Even Heyman got laid out!

The rest of the show might as well have been non-existent.

EDIT: Oh shit, I forgot: "What a maneuver!" I also loved, loved, loved that Ryback didn't get to hit his finish on Punk. Save that shit for PPV so people have to pay for it!

I can't believe there are so many haters on here. I'm as big a Punk fan as any right now and I didn't feel he was buried at all. He's being the HEEL. And these past few weeks they've made Ryback. The crowd going THAT apeshit after that clothesline eliminated all doubt in my opinion. Punk just made another star and DID HIS JOB. Hottest ending to a Raw in a long time

Re: Raw Discussion Thread 10/8/12: Rise Above Nipples

It actually boggles my mind just how awful a job they actually did in response to their lowest ratings in 15 years. There was nothing overly different from this show than any other. The final segment was exciting and good, and that is most certainly a positive, but not something that was totally out of left field either.

It seemed like any other show and not one to generate any type of significant ratings bounce.

In fact the only buzz coming from this show is going to be Punk hitting the fan. Not the type of buzz you're looking for.

He was beat up by a 67 year old man and needed a low blow to get the better of him! And worse, he's the WWE champ! The torchbearer of the #1 promotion shouldn't be losing a fight CLEANLY to a senior citizen, even if it's Vince McMahon. It's just silly. The segment they had before the main event was good but Punk shouldn't be cowering from Vince McMahon.

The show was very hit/miss, mainly due to the VERY weak first hour (bad Cena promo, Ryback squash, Clay/R-Truth filler, dull Rey/Cara vs. PTP match). If that was taken away it would have been a very solid show for the most part.

Re: Raw Discussion Thread 10/8/12: Rise Above Nipples

Decent Raw, nothing spectacular. Fun to see Mr. McMahon back. I'm not really seeing the point in a potential Cena/AJ relationship, but perhaps they will just drop it because it makes no sense. Although, I know there were like reports out there that they are dating in real life and last time Cena dated a diva they tried to make it a storyline (Mickie). Will be interesting to see what happens with the WWE Title match at Hell in a Cell. Cena really shouldnt be in it with his current status, but a triple threat will probable be likely. Overall decent raw nothing great.

Vinnie Mac still being able to show up to the big dance. Loved that match, well worked by both men. Even though I knew the Ryback music was going to hit I still marked out. The crowd was HOT for this. That Hell No/ZigsADR tag match was great too. Man, I know I skipped over a bunch of stuff but the highlights were really good.

RAW in Sacramento "LIKES"
-Ryback has been looking impressive lately. The crowd is clearly hot for him. More on him later.

-The promo with Punk and Vinnie Mac was okay. I did like that Punk slapped him because you don't see that often...besides seeing Vince get stunnered and all that other good stuff.

-Decent tag match between Cara Misterio/PTP. The crowd were hot for them as well. Interesting that they wore matching colored suits this time. Before, they wore their own suits.

-The Ireland vs England match was not bad. I really think Barrett deserves to be a main eventer soon. He's built for it and my brother was impressed with him during this match. Big Show throwing Sheamus off the top rope must've hurt since Sheamus landed on the back of his head.

-Antonio Cesaro continues to look impressive as well. He's going into my Fave Five in the future.

-Crowd was hot for Daniel Bryan. Loved it. Their match was cool and I did laugh at their segment with Larry King. I liked seeing Team Rhodes Scholars get a win too. I like how this tag team tournament is shaping up.

-The Miz clowning on Larry King was cool and funny. Good lord how did Larry King get a younger looking pretty wife? Kofi Kingston shined in this segment too.

-At first, the Punk/McMahon match started weak then it turned into a Street Fight and I started to enjoy it. Didn't expect much action and bumps from Vince but he did take a lot. Felt like a PPV match all of a sudden. Enjoyed the kendo stick action as well. Seeing Ryback come to the rescue was a huge moment as the Sacramento was hot again. It kept shaking the cameras. Got to love it. Good ending.

"DISLIKES"

-The fall of Epico and Primo. Didn't enjoy it. Thought the Brodus Clay and R-Truth segment was a waste too. Might as well put them in a Dance Off segment. Oops, I'm giving the WWE ideas.

-Looks like we will have to wait longer for the PTP to win the Tag Titles. Sucks.

-The stable of Slater, McIntrye and Mahal continue to get no heat. How can they get heat when they are jobbers?

-Ziggler continues to eat pinfalls even though he's the MitB winner. This booking will never change.

-The "Who attacked Kaityln" storyline continues to be awkward. The acting seems so weird.

-Lastly, it looks like the hot Sacramento crowd was also responsible for the incident that occurred in the main event. They were clearly touching and shoving Punk down. It felt like he was being provoked. The videos on youtube show that a guy in a grey shirt was the one who pushed Punk down which was why he retaliated Metta World Peace-style. It was a tough situation for a mega heel to be in and I don't blame Punk for doing it. Very disappointing to still see. The ending of this show was done well though and I liked it. I hope the ratings will have a nice increase.
