10 Thoughts on WWE Monday Night Raw 07.02.2012: John Cena, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, AJ

Reviews, Shows, TV Shows

This was kind of a “meh” week of Raw.  Not a lot going on, and it seemed like some of the storylines were just treading water.  Let’s get to it!

1.) Another ass-kicking, and another example of John Cena simply shrugging it off the next week.  Nothing matters to him – so why should it matter to the fans?

2.) Apparently Chris Jericho is participating in the 90’s nostalgia with the return of some of his more familiar catchphrases.  We can only hope that Ralphus is close behind.

3.) Jericho’s facial expression when Kane’s pyro went off was perfect.

4.) The 8-man match was a disaster – simply filler.

5.) When did the Board of Directors gain General Manager powers?

6.) Did Sin Cara fail another Wellness Policy test?

7.) God, I could listen to Paul Heyman give promos all day long.

8.) Seeing the advertisement for “No Holds Barred” followed by the trailer for the new Dark Knight movie is like watching Flair/Steamboat, and then “that Jackie Gayda match”.

9.) Keep trying to make me care about Tensai, WWE.  It’s cute how hard you’re trying to get him over.

10.) AJ had the vantage point of the night when she was talking directly into Eve’s cleavage.
