Why would they use something other than the spinner when Cena wins it right back anyway?

That. When the history of 20th/early 21st century professional wrestling is written, JR will be lauded as the best announcer in the world. Goldberg will be mentioned as a guy who had an impressive run in a soon-to-be dying wrestling fed.

Ok.. didnt realize he used that theme before..ROH im guessing?
[quote name='diddy310']I love that song for him but I do hope they put some kinda hook at the beginning.[/QUOTE]
Ugh. No no no and NO. Last thing I want to hear is some stupid "AAAAWWWESOOOME" or "WHOOOOO" before it starts. It's like WWE thinks they won't know who is coming out.

Regardless I marked out HARD when Cult Of Personality started playing. That along with the return of Jim Ross made RAW that much better for me.

Cole and Lawler's politics-heavy commentary during the show-opening WWE Title match bugged me, which sucked since the match was really good. Miz busting out a swank yakuza kick AND using Ultimo's WW3 slingshot Liger bomb on Rey. This was well-worth going out of your way to see, and seeing Rey get his first WWE Title was pretty unexpected. Alberto coming out with the case AND swank new gear was a great tease for him to win the title against a weakened Rey before he did the Miz deal of not cashing it in after handing the case in. Then, AFTER BASHING SPEECHES THROUGHOUT THE WWE TITLE MATCH, they followed it by saying HHH would deliver a state of WWE speech. Good God. Rey's post-match promo wasn't particularly good, but I enjoyed the champagne bash. Ryder AND Titus O'Neill got TV time.
Evan-Dolph was perfectly fine, but a tad boring at times. Dolph's remix should theoretically help him because it's easier to take him seriously because it's slower and more intense, but it also lost all the energy of the other theme. Loved the SSP>Zig Zag into a flip bump leading to the sleeper finish. They actually established that someone was definitely better than someone else, so hey, that was a good thing, even if it did put Evan at a level beneath the U.S. title. I liked that they brought up Dolph being a tag champ, and for a guy who's held so many titles, he really should be more of a star than he is. Either that, or titles should be more important so that mid-card dudes haven't held five of them.
Good God was the divas yelping back and forth annoying AND THEN it led to Keith Stone appearing. And the acting here...Jesus this was terrible. Then they talked about more political shit - if I wanted to see something about politics, read about them, or hear about them, I'd tune my TV into CNN. And when Cole announced we'd hear from someone next, I expected it to be another third-rate sponsor, but instead, it was HHH. And after the bad divas (but decent fanservice) match, they HINTED at him announcing a return of CM...THAT GUY WHO LEFT CHICAGO AS WWE CHAMPION". This was largely annoying. Funny, but annoying.
HHH came out with his full entrance, including the REX CRANIUM text, which I'm going to assume means "push killer" in Latin. He announced Rey-Cena for later and this just killed the crowd. They booed. I was pissed at this. Then he announced J.R.'s return which gave me some hope that at least this show would have some good announcing finally...and King worked in another Obama knock. Then they just spent FOR-EVER with Cole ranting and bitching, HHH making "jokes" about contracts that died numerous deaths. Then Truth came out to try and save this. Then HHH made more "jokes" God. this would just never end. Then he said he re-signed ANOTHER guy and it was just Morrison, who they did a video on hyping his return last week, so...yeah. Bunch of nothing there. It took about 20 minutes to make a single meaningful match, a stupid comedy one, and tell a bunch of bad jokes. So it was like every HHH DX promo in the past five years, only he's supposed to be taken seriously. This was so bad I was actually looking forward to Cole's match after it. Cole doing HHH's schtick was amusing simply due to the water spit, but it seemed odd to further turn HHH into a comedy act with this. And Cole didn't help make Ryder look good, so the point of this was kind of negated.
After having a bad taste in my mouth due to most of the prior half-hour, Ricardo was just what I needed to be happy again. Kofi-Alberto was a lot of fun, and J.R. added to the match by putting over the skills of both men and NOT BURYING ANYONE like Cole would. Alberto and Ricardo posing with the MITB case afterwards was tremendous. The wacky Vince recap video with violin music playing over it was hilarious. Oh, and HHH will be on SD. An actual star appearing on the show is huge news apparently. Seeing Rey actually come out as WWE Champion was something else. Here's a guy who WWE low-balled on his first contract, that Vince didn't even want to give the SD Title to, buried him when he did get it, had a cup of coffee with the WHC last year, and now he's the WWE Champion - smallest guy to ever hold that title and also to hold both the WWE and World Heavyweight titles.
Rey-Cena was really good stuff. Thank God for Rey being on Raw, because he's been the glue as far as workrate goes, and you can't go wrong with the past two weeks having two matches on each show. It's not good for Rey's long-term career since he's getting towards the end of the trail and doing double duty won't help him. Rey and Cena each took sick-sounding bumps on the floor after the falling clothesline on the floor, especially Cena, who landed right on his hip during it. J.R. added a lot here, managing to put things over in just the right tone without being over the top. That hurt this match with King going on about how controversial Cena is, how he's the most controversial athlete in WWE and how the Cena Sucks/LET'S GO CENA chants prove it. Rey countering the second flying shoulderblock with...something that resembled a dropkick wasn't pretty, but I was glad to see that sequence broken up. Cena turning the wheelbarrow bulldog into the protoplex was awesome - far smoother looking than the shouldblock-dropkick deal. Cena took some clunky bumps after this, including an ugly one off of a flying headscissors/victory rollish thing. Rey countering the STF with his own STF was tremendous! Then they teased the same finish from Rey's first match, only with Cena getting the knees up for the splash. King getting in ANOTHER POLITICAL MENTION sure won't age well when this hits the Best of Raw 2011 DVD. I found it a bit odd that they actually went with "Cena coming from behind with a knee injury" here after Miz basically did the same thing earlier. The FU coming out of the 619 run was fantastic. I'm not a fan of Rey's reign ending so quickly, but hell, even as short as it was, it was still memorable due to this match. This wasn't a perfect match, but it was still PPV main event-level. Then "Cult of Personality" hit, which I thought they'd use for him at MITB and I lost it. What a perfect theme for this version of Punk. And his new tron has world leaders in it to reflect the lyrics, so it looks like it's his new theme! Punk-Cena II for the Undisputed Title at Summerslam. Awesome! Aside from HHH's death segment, this was a very good show overall with two fantastic matches AND Punk's return.

Holy Christ I feel old.
I'm not thrilled that they decided to hotshot all the anticipation and buildup, but what can you do? I'm not thrilled, but I'm not shocked, either.
Give 'em everything but the kitchen sink because the ratings didn't pop 0.1 a point from week to week.

Well, alright then. You couldn't let anticipation build, could you? You had to hit the panic button, didn't you?

guyver, given that they've got Punk's tron filled with people mentioned IN the song, I doubt it's a one-time thing. I hope it isn't, because he comes off like a much bigger star with "Cult of Personality" than he does with his WWE theme.

Blew their load way too fast, IMO. One comic-con appearance to further the angle and that's it? So much for WWE accepting other mediums as a way to advance the storyline. He should have been off TV a while. This will just setup a match with Cena where Cena will win and they're right back where they started. I noticed Punk's belt has his name on it. If he wasn't employed by the company I would think it'd still have Cena's name on it. Maybe that's just being nit-picky.
I love Cult of Personality, but I don't think it fits well as a wrestler's theme. While it's obviously the better song, the old one fits him better. Chances are he's just using Cult when he's not "employed" by the WWE anyways.

I have a feeling he'll stick with Cult as long as he's not "employed" by WWE. He could probably say something like how he got to choose the music he came out to in the indys and when he joined WWE, they made him come out to whatever music they wanted. Now that he's "free", he can go back to whatever he wants.
And pleassseee put that shirt on WWE.com. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

You mean the theme that Randy Orton had them buy for him, and that he only got to use once on Smackdown?

The Miz has been named number one on the PWI 500 list for 2011.
I didn't mind Punk's former theme at all, but it looks like they're going the full 9 with the Punk-as-the-Anti-Cena-Fan-Savior thing, so this was definitely a smart change.
This is it - this is probably only the second time in the last 5+ years (the other being the Cena heel tease angle with Barrett) where they could truly do something to change things up and make them fresh again, and with Punk you have someone that could probably handle the position quite well. Like everyone else with any sense of history, I'll believe it when I actually see it.
Anyway, sorry if this has been posted before, but I just noticed it. Some pretty good stuff: Kelly Kelly is my most hated female wrestler since...I dunno...other faceless interchangable "diva" #234.

I doubt that's Kelly's actual twitter account. Although with Dolph's actual one being HeelZiggler, I can't really rule it out.

Random Thoughts:
Congrats Miz on Number One on the PWI 500, he really has come a very long way.
Could they bury Rey any harder then they did tonight?
Yes, too soon for Punk to return, but I still hopped out of my seat when he appeared.
Cult Of Personality fits this version of Punk.

I'm not going to shit on it. The guy had a hell of year and has improved a great deal in a relatively short amount of time. Good for him.

i wished they took longer for punk's return. After the comic con appearance...i thought he WAS going to take a long break. I was hoping they would let the usual Cena title run build a little and than hit the shocker of Punk coming back.
I also marked out when he appeared but it didnt last long. I love Living Color but i do miss Killswitch Engaged.

The more I think about it, the more incredibly disappointed I am that they hit the panic button and brought him back this soon.
This is Cena getting fired all over again - WWE writers want to make lofty claims in what they advertise, and then realize they've painted themselves into a corner. And by corner, I mean WWE corporate shits their pants when ratings don't jump from the same old 3-point-nothing they've been for years now to a 4-point-oh. They have preposterously unattainable goals, and are unwilling to take any chances to grow the product to get there. They expect the product to turn on a dime and just *explode* in popularity without any risks or changes to it.
Punk was gone for less time than most families spend on summer vacation. Him cutting a promo saying "I'm baaaa-aaaaack!" (shown on wwe.com) is pathetic. It takes elderly people longer to get their mail than it took for CM Punk to leave and return to WWE.
He's so rebellious.

I agree with this.
The show could last without Punk for awhile because this is the right time to let the product go stale after MITB. they could have waited 3-6 months from now and then unveiled punk.
The impact and popularity would have been huge,
Im actually disappointed like Myke after taking a back seat and really thinking about it.

Par for the course, WWE. Yawn. The great part is all of the people who take TNA to task for every perceived slight were all over WWE's jock with this angle. WWE has a proven track record of providing a good-to-great moment and then summarily falling flat on their collective faces in their clumsy attempts to follow up on it. The highly disparate standards that some hold these companies to reek of hypocrisy.
