The Shield/Daniel Bryan segment is continuing on the Network
Good catch! The interview with Daniel Bryan is good stuff (and I say that as something of a non fan) while the rest of it seems to be highly skippable, not quite through it all yet but what's up with Shawne Merriman being on the panel? (Surely, the WWE could find someone not connected to PHDs to sit in for crying out load.) Okay, its cut out after the 11 minute mark twice now... I'm going to call the rest skippable.
RAW thoughts...
Wow, amazing show! Someone else said it went quick and I felt the same... Of course you knew it was going to be quick when they started cutting intos a few second short from the very beginning.
Pretty much all seemed to be really spot on... I think anyone who thought that the WWE couldn't find their collective heads from their own asses for the last few months should step back and reevaluate. Maybe they lucked into it, Maybe Punk forced them, but the product these last two days has been firing on all cylinders.
I could throw out a few complaints; the Diva Championship should have had a real match of length (I suspect time was the biggest issue) or more of one of my own pet peeves... Why didn't HHH try for a pinfall when the SHIELD was still coming out of the crowd...? No way they can come out of the crowd in under three seconds. Could have been champ and sliding out of the ring with the belts easy enough. (and if they didn't want that to happen; no reason the ref couldn't be distracted by the SHIELD's arrival till HHH tugged on the hem of his pants or someone else brought it to his attention... Which of course would make it far too late for the championship to change hands.)
I don't know... I just don't get the point of the 10 seconds waiting around for the stare down stuff...
Oh, I want to point out something else the crowd did that was funny ass shit! When Brian was getting the beat down and their chants for the SHIELD went unheard they started chanting for 3MB to intervene... God it was funny. I know time constraints made it impossible to happen but I would have loved to seen a feeble effort from 3MB at saving DB.
You guys are missing the big picture here. What's next for Swagger?
Zeb too. I'm not sure why Cesaro didn't have a new music/intro when he left as a Heyman guy but it really seems appropriate for Swagger/Zeb to carrying on as the Real Americans with a new member.
Oh, do have one legit complaint... Why did they waste time on a Santino/Ema vs Fandango/Summer Rae angle again... With the same exact outcome of the previous three matches? (Summer Rae really aught to dump the loser and find a man who isn't afraid of a dirty sock.)
