3-11-13 RAW

The RAW episodes leading up to WM29 will be epic (and already have been). Really enjoyed the beginning to tonight's episode. Loved how the Undertaker was able to tribute Paul Bearer (in Undertaker fashion of course) and yet the timing worked out to lead into his new feud with CM Punk. Thought it was classy yet also had a "the show must go on" feel to it.

Nothing better in sports entertainment then the Phenom's entrance.

Lots of Shield tonight, last week there was no Shield

Kane vs Punk should be epic. Its no disqualification so I'm sure Undertaker will interfere and the Brothers of Destruction will provide a classic beatdown.

This is what I've been waiting for. The rest has been alright. The 10 year old me hated Brock Lesnar(sp?) but the 20 year old me doesn't hate him nearly as much as I should.

Kind of insane that its still going. It would be sick to see Taker and Kane take on the Shield at some point.

TAKER TIME

Craziest Raw ending in awhile. Shocked.

Great RAW. Not to be insensitive, but Paul Bearer's death timing played very well into an escalated feud between Punk/Undertaker. Great tribute, and one of the best RAWs I've seen in awhile without Cena/Rock......well Cena did a fight after the cameras stopped rolling.

I apparently fell asleep during Punk/Kane.
What was the big ending?

I just finished watching the DVR. Undertaker's gong distracted Punk for the Kane chokeslam and victory. Undertaker at the top of the entrance and Kane in the ring pay tribute to Paul Bearer. Punk takes the urn from its ringside stand and beats down Kane before Undertaker chases him off. Punk runs away with the urn and mocks Undertakers kneeling pose with the urn.

I saw the urn coming into play a mile away. I thought Punk would clobber Kane with it for the win, or destroy it with a steel chair.

my hope is that if cena does win the belt from Rock that Dolph cashes in to beat Cena.

Part of me was expecting Punk to pour out Paul Bearers "ashes" onto Kane as he was laying on the mat (though I know the urn was carried by Bearer for years and therefore wouldn't have his ashes.. but still) Glad they didn't go that direction though.

Pretty sure Dolph can only cash in for the Heavyweight title.

I think since there was a real life death, they could only take it so far.

The whole episode was edgy (but ultimately good for the WWE). They were able to use a real death to add to the story line. Yet, I felt the whole time, Paul Bearer was getting a great tribute. He probably would have been happy to know his death helped the show go on.

I realize they've done "racist" swerves before but the one they're doing with the "new" Swagger and Del Rio strikes me as being over the line, even in make believe world.
