not gonna bother with OTL tonight.

cant see any new champions being crowned.

think punk will hold on til summerslam, and sheamus will probably beat ziggler unless for some reason gets disqualified.

christian will beat rhodes, who will probably move up the card a bit in future.

can see no way for big show to win, no way in hell will cena be fired. wouldnt be surprised in johnny tries to interfere and it backfires. plus, if cena was to lose, it'd be the 3rd time in last 4 ppv's for him to lose in the main event.

That one line from Vince last night shows you in a nutshell what's wrong with WWE.

You've a PPV on Sunday and the head of the company buries one of the guys in the main event. Luckily, Show got a match with Kingston and came out of it looking like the monster heel that he needs to be going up against Cena.

Ziggler get's a World title shot. Now, I'm not knocking the guy cos I think he's one of the best workers WWE have right now, but he's something like 2 wins from 12 matches in the last month or so. Yes, I know Del Rio is only out due to injury, but still, WWE NEEDS to start protecting guys other than Cena and Orton.

And the worst thing was that Vader was more over than pretty much anyone else on last night's Raw

As a child, Vader was the only wrestler I was genuinely scared of.

A true Hall of Famer.

Oh, I wasn't knocking Vader. I was bemoaning the fact that a guy who's been off TV for a decade gets a bigger crowd response than the guys who show up on Raw every week.

OTL Wasn't the best PPV. Crowd just didn't seem into a lot of the matches, the pointless Tuxedo match got some loud boring chants.

WWE showed once again that titles aren't important. US champ in a non-title gimmick match against a jobbing ring announcer and the WWE title itself? Relegated down to 3rd on the card behind a squash match for someone who's going to be future endevoured in the next 12 months because no-one wants another Goldburg

Apparently Vince is the main reason for a lot of the angles not having the follow through because he can't remember what happened on the show 3 weeks ago, he feels that the fans won't remember either.

OTL? Aren't we talking No Way Out guys!

I thought Christian v Cody and two title matches were good.

Big Show being screwed out of the cage match cost me some moolah! I noticed Paddy Power stopped taking bets a few hours before the event. Think the smarks got wind that Cena was due to win.

Are you seriously telling me you can bet on WWE?

Ahh, yeah. Same thing, a three worded, mid Mania-Summerslam filler.

I wouldn't be surprised if Vince McMahon has an account.

I nearly had a tenner on Sheamus before the Rumble, didn't go through with it, to some regret. Did the same thing with Lima for Lance Todd last year.

Amazing Red had a tryout with WWE, would love to see Red vs Alex Shelley vs Tyson Kidd
