WWE RAW IV: Show me respect!

[Legato]

Yeah, I actually think Cena seems like a good guy. Not a huge fan of his in-ring work, nor do I consider myself a hater. But as a person, I kind of respect the guy. Either his nice guy routine is legit, or he's actually a much better actor than some give him credit.

Even if it isn't legit I still respect him enough that he keeps himself in check.

[Legato]

I almost was shocked Vince would give the green light on the heart attack stunt then I remembered how this was the same man who gave the green light on Michael Cole mocking Lawler over the death of Lawler's mother, the Katie Vick segment, the Eddie Guerrero is in hell segment, etc. It's amazing how a company can go from rising above cancer to making fun of heart attacks, what a difference losing an election makes.

We are talking about the same company who even went as far as to exploit Owen's death. They showed a video of his funeral without so much as an ok from members of his family, which led to them being sued and years later we wonder why we haven't seen a DVD featuring him. WWE isn't known for being classy. Correction they got sued over the stunt but I have heard they got heat over showcasing Owen's funeral

That's why they come across fake as hell whenever they try to act classy by aligning themselves with good in theory organizations (Be a Star, Tribute to the Troops, Susan G Komen Foundation). Given his history of offending as many people as possible and not giving a damn afterwards, it should come as no surprise to Vince that his "goodwill" is often met with skepticism.

well maddox is a former fcw 15 champion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCW_15_...5_Championship
so he can go least 15 minutes

I've said more than a few times I respect Cena. I just don't want to see him on TV for a long long time as his current persona.

But I think that's where you have to seperate TV shows from real life.

The stuff we see in storylines in the ring is fiction. The million dollars the WWE raised for Susan Komen Foundation is very very real. That wasn't an angle or anything, they really got a million bucks.

[Alex]

I can't imagine punk loses the belt after the way Raw ended, so im guessing Punk loses the belt.

[The Scarlet Sapien]

So Orton tries a slingshot suplex and It looks awfully weak. I've not seen one even attempted since Rick Steiner Back in the 90's( A suplex expert) tried one and it also sucked. What gives? Tully Blanchard is the only guy I've ever seen do that move when it looked like it had any impact. Is it just areally tough move to do well without about killin' a guy or what?

They are also very active in local charities here in Connecticut, the McMahons are a big donor for Sacred Heart University and regularly donate to local charities in Stamford

and the Tribute To the Troops is a very big deal as the WWE is one of the only entertainment organizations that has been actively involved with going over to Iraq and Afghanistan regularly since those conflicts started

Well Tully would (or it seemed) use the ropes and let gravity run it's course and he had a sweet float over pin as well.

Jerry Jarrett Upset With Jerry Lawler Return Segment, Longtime Magazines Discontinued
By Daniel Pena
Nov 13, 2012 - 1:28:58 PM

- Jerry Jarrett, Jerry Lawler's former business partner, took offense to WWE using the legendary grappler's near-fatal heart attack as a "cheap heat" angle on Raw Monday.

Nine weeks following the ordeal, a tearful Lawler offered his gratitude for the amount of support he received. The WWE Hall of Famer was then interrupted by CM Punk, who continued their on-screen rivalry by mocking him. The segment included a crass imitation of a heart attack, courtesy of Paul Heyman.

"I watched WWE last night. Jerry Lawler was returning after surviving a life threatening heart attack. I sat watching the television with a feeling of pride that they were honoring the return of such a great wrestler. I sat thinking, "now this is real class". Just when I was appreciating the class WWE was showing, it ended suddenly with a juvenile cheap heat angle," wrote Jarrett on Facebook.

"I turned the television off and starting thinking about Linda McMahon's hard work and great expense running for the Senate. It is exactly this kind of programming that prevented her from becoming a Senator. Wrestling should have some limits and boundaries. If you offend great portions of the audience, it is a bad angle."

Quick quetion about the above post:
1. Is William Regal injured? sorry to ask but those are the things that usually get cut from my version of the program too.

2. In the title said "lontime magazine discontinued", what magazine?

No, Regal's fine, the angle was trying to give Sheamus a reason to be mad at big show without having him hurt sheamus, and the belt isn't motivation enough.
Thus, they established that Regal is Sheamus buddy, and then "injured" him so Sheamus could get revenge.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh

Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh

This is normaly the sort of thing i crap on too, but i can sort of get this.
It is the B belt afterall, making it a personal issue can't hurt.
Though, Sheamus being knocked out before losing the belt is a pretty clear issue.
