Quick programming note: I’m going to be live at Raw tonight in San Antonio, so moderation in tonight’s discussion will be especially light. If you leave a comment and it doesn’t show up, it’s probably because you tried to share a link and our comment system thought you were one of those “cool colemn [sic] CHECK OUT COOL HALF-PRICE T-SHIRTS AT THIS LINK”. Good news: tomorrow’s Best And Worst column may have more JOHN MORRISON #1 OF signs in it.
Tonight, on Raw’s Shawn Michaels gets beaten up by Brock Lesnar and ALL BETS ARE OFF Appreciation Night:
I can’t get no respect around here!
Sure, Rodney Dangerfield said it first, but WWE Champion CM Punk echoed the statement with gusto last week on Raw, airing his grievances that The Rock — and, by extension, the WWE itself — hasn’t afforded him the proper reverence as champion in recent weeks. It was a strong argument, but The Second City Saint’s night didn’t exactly get better thanks to Raw General Manager AJ Lee’s decision to place him in a Triple Threat WWE Title Match at SummerSlam against both John Cena and Big Show. Elsewhere, the inimitable Miss Lee turned the tables on her volcanic ex, Daniel Bryan, and Alberto Del Rio made a bold proclamation that didn’t exactly pay dividends for him on SmackDown. What awaits these competitors on the next episode of Raw?
Ahahahah somebody actually wrote that.
As always, my 10 favorite comments from tonight’s open discussion thread (when I get home at like 1 AM and pretend to read them) will be featured in tomorrow’s Best And Worst Of WWE Raw column. To nominate a comment for top 10 status, please reply to it with a +1.
