It was a decent RAW, I think.

I liked the Ryback/Cena stuff. Whether it was planned like this all along or they just found a set of events that were convenient to make the feud work, I don't know. I'm a fan of Ryback and it's great he's getting into the WWE Title feud but everyone knows his chances of winning are slim to zero considering it's Cena's first defense. But hey, maybe it'll set up Ryback for a title reign in the future.

Sheamus/Henry stuff is nothing special but I guess it gives both guys something to do.

I am looking forward to BOD & Bryan v The Shield next week and I expect it to end dirty so we can get a rematch at Extreme Rules. Seeing Undertaker in action is always a plus and The Shield are getting better all the time.

Ziggler/Swagger/Del Rio doesn't interest me much but I guess it makes sense. Hopefully after they've done their match, Ziggler will move on to a fresh opponent. I don't know how long Mysterio is out for, but I wouldn't mind seeing a Ziggler/Mysterio feud or even a Ziggler/Christian feud whenever he's due back.

Watching the pain on Cena’s face was worth standing back for. Funny the 2 things he says I lack his ex wife seems to love. #RybackRules

The crowd wasn't that bad. It was better than WrestleMania's crowd. And the product is a lot better than TNA's. WWE is far from great but it's not as bad as you are making out.

Beefy

Well if you're talking TNA vs WWE. From the jobbers to main eventers, TNA's roster is a retarded amount better than WWE's roster. With that said, after watching my first Raw and iMPACT! since last year, just comparing those two and forgetting about Mania, sadly WWE is a bit better than TNA. Granted there is nothing behind it, but WWE are still pushing new names and faces finally. Fandingus and The Shield (Jon Mox, rocks...) are getting some wins and looking good in the ring against people who would usually be smoking their ass. All TNA really has going for them is for some reason everyone has a beard now, which I think is just tits. And A.J. Styles has the best "gimmick" he has had in ever. And he looks to be the Sting to take down Aces and Eights. I like that... But it is still not much.

I remember when everyone was begging for an end to the brand split. Don't know what you have until it's gone right?

WWE has had its best a couple years since let's say 2011, CM Punk brought a lot of freshness to it all and the booking seems to have gotten really good for new stars. However, the WHC is a mid card title now and the IC/US are even more irrelevant and in the way, this is where I thin the brand split was brilliant. I say either bring back the brand split or get rid of all 3 titles for a revamped new Mid Card title. The new comers are being pushed much better than the established stars as well. OVerall the WWE is better under TRIPLE H

TNA's product is a lot more entertaining to me. Its been pretty refreshing to see a company plan stuff months in advance rather than week to week with a vague idea of what they want in the future.

TNA has this mindset that it's not entertaining unless there's a thousand twists in every plot, at least that's the way I see it. Granted, I'm not a regular viewer but every time I do take a look I find myself turning it off within thirty minutes out of boredom or annoyance.

WWE to me is simpler, in terms of build and storyline, and more entertaining. But this argument has happened a thousand times. Some will prefer WWE, some will prefer TNA. I can't see TNA ever becoming huge though. They think they are now, but they aren't. In the UK they air on a channel that airs a lot of rubbish whereas WWE is on a premiere sports package so that shows how they are looked at down here anyway.

Maybe I just feel like WWE is way to cooperate now and its sucking the soul out of the product. I like it when a company has one solid direction I guess.

Better than Essa

I don't see the swerve problem anymore, that pretty much ended when Russo left. The only one they've had for a long time was Bully Ray as the Aces leader, which is something people have been talking about for months and made sense.

The problem I have with it is that not much is really happening. It might be because they're cutting back on PPVs so the big storyline events are being delayed, but I'm not sure that's what it is. Either way, we're getting the same Aces beatings every week, generally losing a match and then beating a guy down. We have a tag division where the babyface are the least likeable guys, a womens division with four girls handing the belt around, and the Hogans getting far too involved in everything.

I like the new rules for the X matches, I've always said they should all be three ways. Can't wait for Sabin to get back. But the format means everything is a holding pattern, just guys cycling in and out of matches each week. It provides a fast paced match on every show, so I'm ok with it, but still. I'm not a fan of Matt Morgan, but his role is somewhat interesting, he and AJ are doing great as outsiders. There are a lot of good things about TNA at the moment, I just wish things would move on a bit.
