I don't mean it in a negative way, but it sounds like a pretty boiler-plate setup for a swerve down the line. Both of the main players there are drawing huge heat as heels; there would be no sense in turning either face.

You are 100% right, but I will add that the WWE is very random in the "making sense" department.

Apparently Moose from TNA (Mickie Knuckles) Broke her leg.

Well that sure does suck because the bimbo brawls on TNA were getting to be quite interesting.

So...I have been away for a week and missed Raw.

So, during this time away, I play some Raw Vs Smackdown! 2008 on my PSP. More specifically, I played Punk Vs Edge for the World title with PUnk winning. I thought to myself, "Now that would be pretty cool but we all know it won't happen. Punk will lose his MITB case to someone else who will cash it in."

Imagine my surprise when I finally got a chance to read up on what happened on Raw.

And I am taking it that by now, a week later, I don't have to spoiler this.

It will be interesting to see where this goes. Raw has a slew of challenges who could easily win the title. I'm interested to see if they will let Punk go through them, thereby enchancing his name and profile. Or if they will have him lose within weeks. So far, they managed to avoid having Punk have a hallow, Tommy Dreamer-like title reign when they had him beat JBL.

True. They're teasing MVP going face as well. Hopefully they drop that notion too. Let him build more legit heat so that a face turn doesn't seem forced or premature, like Mr. Kennedy's.

I think MVP isn't going to go face. There are already too many faces including Trips, Hardy, and Kennedy, with Undertaker possibly being another choice as well.

I like MVP as more of a Tweener because he has the whole "stop fucking around with me" type thing between him and Vickie but he still beats the shit out of faces.

The beginning of Raw gave me a headache, even with a low volume.

I thought the beginning of RAW was pretty damn funny.

Of course...we all know that...

Awww man, can't believe no one mentioned the part where:

^ yeah, this cant be the same guy that put on a 4 out of 5 star match with james storm like 7 months ago. btw, I remember watching Impact where they headlined the show with a no disqualification match. Anyone know which ep (by date) that was? I really want to hunt it down.

I think the idea of TNA getting rid of AMW was the dumbest thing ever because AMW whether heel or face, they still put on amazing matches.

Then again. WWE under-utilizes like...their ENTIRE roster.

not to mention after the AMW breakup, Harris was Main-Eventing and was even in the TNA Title king of the mountain match...and after that just nothing.

That has to be one of the top LOL moments I have seen ina long, long, long time, wrestling-wise.

Is Kane really asking about Paul Bearer, or is he involved in this McMahon assassination the Undertaker has started? And whats with shit falling lately? CM Punk almost got hit with a light stand.

After watching the actual footage of the assault after the fatal 4-way, I'm really starting to wonder myself who he's asking about. Undertaker's not dead, just banished, and I don't remember what exactly happened to Paul Bearer. Someone mind refreshing me on that?

As far as Vince goes, well...

This sudden change in Kane's character definitely makes me watch Raw again with extra interest. I've always been attached to his "monstrous" role since his unmasking.

Paul Bearer

Great American Bash like..2003 or 2004, something like that

The Undertaker vs. The Dudleys w/ Paul Heyman.

Stipulation, Taker must lose or Bearer gets covered in Cement in a glass coffin. Taker beats the Dudleys, strikes lighting on the Cement truck thus stopping it, then fills it himself "after"* the GAB

*the final stunt was done way before hand for obvious reasons.


At least, that was the last time I remember bearer on TV.

It had to have been in 2004 because that's when Wrestlemania 20 was, right? That's when he returned with the Undertaker and I seem to remember him shouting at Kane, "You're no SON of mine!"

Every time I see Paul Bearer come back, to me he looks like he gets bigger. I wonder if this time it'll be any different.

Hes actually looking really healthy. Part of the deal, which was VERY nice on behalf of the WWE is that if he came back, they would help pay for his Gastric Bypass surgery.

WWE: Superstars > Where Are They Now? > Catching up with Paul Bearer

Oh man, I thought there might have been something wrong with him. :( I had no idea he was over 500 pounds! I never saw him as weighing that much...maybe around 400, but not more than that.

It's good to see he's doing well though, that man is a legend himself.
