WWE Raw, May 7, 2012



I was truly excited when I found out Paul Haymen would make his return to Monday Night RAW tonight. I debated with myself if I should watch or not. And when he did make his return I gotta admit I marked out. I marked. He was the reason I tuned in. Yes there's CM Punk, Chris Jerico and Bryan Dannleson. But I just can't get into the WWE product. I'm just not a fan.

And other then Hayman's segment I was mostly tuned out to the rest of the show. I asked myself how does WWE make a boring show with people like CM Punk and Jerico and a number of guys that I do find fun to watch. The answer is the booking of the show and the lines these men are given. I'm just not into the WWE product. It seems like no matter who they bring in I'm just going to get a bit of a burst of excitment before I find myself bored again. Just look at the main event. Gaint Benard & Bryan Danielson vs. CM Punk. I hated that the second that Danielson was tagged in Punk was able to roll out of the way and Bryan who just got into the match got no offence. I can understand why they booked the match that way, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. It would have made sence for CM Punk to be dominated in that match. I mean it was 2 men taking on one after all. And I'm not against some short of comeback. I just don't think they know what their doing with they way they booked Danielson in that match.

To be honnest I was planning on ordering Over The Limit. I was really going to do it but then I watched this show and I'm turned off by it. You could have all the other bad on this show, what they did with Big Show, the divas, the World Heavyweight title stuff and the opening CM Punk and Johnny Ace promo. And even they did all that this show could have been saved for me. I really loved seeing Paul Hayman back in WWE. And if they booked the main event right I would still have been hyped up for Over The Limit. CM Punk vs. Bryan Danielson was the reason I was going to buy it. But if they are going to treat Bryan Danielson like he's a joke and a punk then why should I be hyped for their WWE Title match?

There's still a chance WWE can do something to get me back into Over The Limit. Maybe they'll do something to get me back to me wanting to order it again. It's possiable and it's within their power to do so. But I don't see it happening.
