Thanks for the Fish

Waiting for people to blame Punk in 3...2... Blame Josh Hamilton.

Did Kane and D-Lo Brown have any meaningful feud in the past? I'm wondering because D'Lo is booked to face Kane on the houseshow circuit and I'm wondering if the plan could be to bring D'Lo back in the Kane storyline some how.

London trained as TWA, but I believe it was under Rudy Boy Gonzalez. Now if they sent London to SD! and kept Kendrick on Raw they could have pulled this same angle, with Kendrick training under HBK, in the same class as Cade and Bryan Danielson (and Shooter Shultz wherever you may be). However the angle/match served it's purpose anyways. I'm saying this as a big Punk fan, but he wasn't ready for the title. I think he would be much better off in Kofi's position right now as IC champ taking on all mid-card comers and winning. I really think we need to see the Deisel/Hart finish to their GAB match - it's just a perfect fit, though I would wonder if Batista destroying him after the roll-up would just elicit more cheers for "The Animal" as Punk isn't even over enough as a face.

I take it all back. The ending ruined the whole friggin show. yeah, lets attempt to kill Cena on friggin camera.

Why a DQ? He was part of the match and just akin to breaking up the pin...

Raw has been hot from top to bottom tonight.

Love the "product placement" there JBL...

Hell 2-3 inches would have been enough. Still, he fills a role and Gewirtz(or whatever) loves his comedy. How long before Noble and Santino cross paths?

Must have taped that before the accident.

Snitsky looks bloated as hell.

I'm still hoping this leads to Bryan Danielson debuting, I'm hoping Dragon could be waiting until the latest ROH PPV airs in August before heading to the wwe with ROH's best wishes.

So do I.

Punk vs Batista needs the ol' Bret Hart vs Deisel finish. Where Batista had Punk beat and in position for the Batista Bomb but Punk's legs give and it gives Batista pause and that pause gives Punk the opening to roll up Batista for the win.

I agree. It was a harmless loss for Santino as it wasa quick roll-up and he has comedy heat anyways. Hopefully this will eventually lead to Santino's stable forming.

That was the Iron Circle match between Ken Shamrock and Steve Blackman in 1999. I think this is the one I was remembering. Kudos.

I didn't think that was a bad promo - completely over the top, but that's par for the course. At least he didn't say "poopy" of "Cenation".

What was that match many years ago "the iron ring" match or something, a ring of cars and the wrestlers fighting in the middle...

So what did Kane say - my feed crapped out.

That was actually laugh out loud. Brilliant.

So when does Kofi come out to "save" Mickie? We'll also get a Cade vs HBK match tonight as they've been working against each other on the house shows recently.

Have the mask, have the mask, have the mask.....

I think Latin Americans might care more than others though. I could very well be wrong. Hell he could very well be of Mexican descent. I don't think the wwe would give him the last name Ortiz otherwise, and he was born and raised in Arizona.

I agree. But it could signal the characters attitude change. Carly much prefers to play a heel, also if he is more serious without the hair that could help his in-ring work.
