Well as far as the very long 3 hour Raw goes, it was 3 hours and it very long. There we go. The main event of the show was a segment. It happens occasionally. But for the segment to be the signing of a contract? Seems a bit anticlimactic to me. 1 of 2 guys will be fighting CM Punk at the PPV, it ends up being the big bald one, he signs, then hits Punk with his finisher and it's over.
As far as Ryback goes, there have been many pushed wrestlers in the past who squashed people to make them look good. I wonder how they play this one. With plenty of comparisons to Goldberg already being made and a match with Goldberg being teased [possibly at Wrestlemania], this guy might have actually get an undefeated record until that time. Meaning what? He is going to beat Punk and win the title. If so, I can't see his match with Mr Goldberg being a title match, so perhaps he won't win the title. He might win by DQ or count out, if Punk runs away. Or he might not even fight Goldberg. If that is the case, I could see him winning the title.
Smackdown seems to be getting increasingly less important. A lot of the guys who wrestle on there also wrestle on Raw. Last Smackdown we had the commentators discussing the previous Raw show and then previewing the following Raw. We also had a video clip of the contract signing from Raw. Remember when the angle was that Raw and Smackdown are 2 separate brands competing with each other? Obviously not anymore. Not only do wrestlers wrestle on both shows but Smackdown hypes up it's former competition, Raw.
Smackdown itself was okay. Sheamus v Big Show is not really exciting me much but hey, not much in wrestling is these days. By the way, if Big Show is the big bad man, why did he clap Sheamus on Smackdown and then knock out the guy who tried to attack him? Surely if Ziggler had won the title from Sheamus by cashing in his Money in the Bank, Show would just face him. Oh and Theodore Long's gimmick has now annoyed me for, what is it now? 8 years I think.
Overall I would say this week's WWE shows were pretty bland. Then again the WWE is pretty bland and has been for the past few years now anyway, so really, you should not be expecting much, should you? I mean you get the occasional decent PPV or Raw show but don't you just find yourself waiting for Wrestlemania more and more every year?
