I know it's hot in the Raw thread but I wanted to put it to a vote. This segment is definitely going down in history though. Either as a huge mistake, or one of the best segments in history.
EDIT: I voted no for the few posters who somehow interpreted otherwise from my clearly unbiased OP
no. not even close. clearly people don't remember the big show vs bossman feud, Christ bossman made a poem about big shows fathers deathn and drove up during the funeral yelling it out a megaphone, then he proceeded to hit Show with his car then tying a chain around the casket and driving away.

PAUL BEARERS FAMILY OKAYED IT.
He would have loved that he was associated with a major Wrestlemania feud and the last thing on RAW.
It was meant to be distasteful and cringeworthy because it is meant to get him major heat and get people to really feel uncomfortable and make people hate him for their match.
However I'm sure there are hundreds of better ways that RAW could have finished.
Im going to have a look on the WWE Facebook page to see if any angry mothers are writing in.
However it's funny how Punk jokes about people saying he looks like a crack-head and then lathers himself in "Paul Bearer's" ashes. I swear he looked like a junkie finally getting his fix. :lol
Man, it's fortunate for WWE that Paul Bearer died. fpalm Really disliked it. They're basing this feud around a real life death and that rubs me the wrong way.
No I enjoyed it mainly because im sure all parties agree. Im sure there will be a ton who hated though. Fully expect this thread to be merged with tons of others and reach 40 pages by tomorrow maybe.
Honestly, what bothers me the most is that I expected their feud to be about Punk claiming he's better than Taker with his accomplishments and whatnot, and not this silly angle where Punk is telling everybody that he's trying to get under Taker's head, which he shouldn't even say in the first place.
The worst part was Cole .
Uh,what's going on.
It wasn't too much,I liked it anyway.
Besides nothing tops the big show riding his old man's casket :lmao
No, thought it was great. Heyman as Bearer was the highlight of the show, even thought that's not saying much with how bad the rest of the stuff was. Don't think you can go too far in pro wrestling when it involves stuff like this.
Bearer's family said that WWE asked their permission before running the angle so I'd imagine they ran this by them too? I'd hope so at least. If the family's not offended then no need for us to be.
