cena's been legit busted open by lesnar tonight. Wow, that looked pretty nasty.

It did indeed. Would there be a reason for some genuine spite there?

As for the storyline itself, why are they bringing another 'great' back into a feud with Cena? What's he done wrong? Rock was brought back and had to beat him and now surely Lesnar is going to destroy him at Extreme Rules as well. Batista next too?

I've no problem with Cena-Lesnar, it's nice to have Brock back in the WWE.

But FFS, stop demoting the two best stars in the company (Jericho & Punk) to the mid-card.

purely out of practice i'd say, i noticed how kayfabe all his follow up shots were after the first one connected. but either way its adds, as funk man has said to the legitamacy.

I would imagine Cena is finally going to get the 'rest' he has been asking over 6 months for.
Lesnar beats the snot out of him and Cena is 'sidelined'.

If this happens it will make one of 2 things happen IMHO, Fans will forget to boo the boyscout OR he will come back as a more edgier Face (I would say this is most possible).
I was going to say come back as a heel but let us be honest here Vince isn't about to get rid of his cash cow no matter how much heat he is getting because putting it simply if it was going to happen it already would have.

Gotta love Vince.
'We give the WWE universe what it want's'................. that is until it involves him giving his cash cow up of course!!.

Also don't forget that technically Cena is in Lesnar's place as up until Lesnar left for the WWE for the NFL Lesnar was going to be the WWE's go to man...............The rest as they say is history.

I think that first hit was down to a combination of ring rust, MMA instinct and an adrenaline rush.

TBH, if they work it right, it'll build up Lesnar to an even bigger monster.

And I think Lesnar would be the perfect guy to re-unify the world titles. He comes in, smashes through Cena, Cena gets his time off that he needs and the fans need from Cena. He then takes down the two face champions Punk and Sheamus to unify the titles. Long run at the top for Lesnar, leading up to next years WM where Cena comes back after being missing for a long time and takes back the unified title.

Missed the last two raws. Anyone know where I can watch them? (last weeks mainly as this weeks will be on tomorrow)

Cody Rhodes again pulls off more good promo and mic skills on Smackdown this week.

Talking Mania next year, I'd love to see:

Punk v Ziggler
Bryan v Rhodes

That would be niiiiiiiiice.

They're usually broken down into chunks and put up on youtube by now.

Kurt Angle withdraws from the US Olympic trials following a hamstring injury - not that he had a cat in hell's chance of making the team mind, but it's all useful PR.
