Normally I would agree, the returning star beating on a ****y heel character is usually great. Austin beating up Carlito at WM21 and Hogan taking out Hassan at the same event (even if the latter was cringeworthy) are two perfect examples of this. But, as the Rock is heavily involved in the Cena/Miz thing, and I would suggest is extremely likely to be physically involved somehow as well (maybe even on Raw tonight actually) I don't think any other segment is neccessary. I'll almost certainly be watching live as well, looking forward to it TSTL.

What do you mean big disappointment? Surely the payoff is at Wrestlemania. The Rock didn't talk back because there was nothing that he could say. Cena had some valid criticisms of The Rock which there was no feasible comeback to, without seeming as if a heel - which is obviously not the intention.
Going to my friend's house to watch Mania, should be excellent. Get a few beers in, maybe a pizza - promises to be a great night.

You're ****ting me, it was awesome. Crazy heat for Cena at the end, loved it myself.

Yes. I liked it.

I thought it was a brilliant ending personally, and as much as I always have and always will love The Rock, god damn, Cena totally killed him on the mic. That was one of the better promos i've ever seen from anybody, let alone Cena. Massive props to Cena for that one, and for The Rock as well, who put Cena over huge by not responding or arguing about it. Made Cena look great for mine. Real excited for WM.

Agree with all of you, it was an absolutely brilliant segment. John Cena stepped up huge on the mic and you couldn't argue with anything he said. The Rock had no comeback to that! How could anybody have a comeback for that! It was just a brilliantly produced segment that had me on the edge of my seat. That segment alone will sell PPV buys for Wrestlemania 27.
I quite enjoyed the Triple H, Undertaker and Shawn Michaels segment too. I wasn't expecting Shawn to return and it was a really great surprise to see him back. He adds so much and while Triple H is an all time great he can't compare to Shawn Michaels. That segment and the brilliantly produced video package last week where they talked to all the legends hyping up the match has finally got me somewhat interested in the match.
After being spoiled by two Undertaker and Shawn Michaels matches, I really wasn't looking forward to Undertaker vs Triple H but they've had a good couple of weeks of build to this and it looks far better than what it was a couple of weeks ago. Great Raw tonight and should be a fantastic Wrestlemania 27.

Amazing Raw. Cena owned The Rock and his case his helped in that he can justify everything he says.
As for the Observer, I have done but my disdain for Meltzer prevents me from doing so on a regular basis.

From a strict argument point of view, yes, Cena really owned Rock. Rock has absolutely nothing he could say.
Also..go on, why do you hate Meltzer? Don't know much about him myself, or any one from that sort of wrestling insider industry.

I respect that the guy has been Mr Dirtsheet over the years but he clearly has no real interest in pro-wrestling anymore and passes off conjecture as scoops; shortly before the Chamber he wrote that the 'planned' Mania card was so and so, and reading it just made me think - that's not inside info - I could have told you all that just from reading the Raw report, nevermind watching it. But people pay money for these exclusives.
I also hate that he's such a **** about his precious ***** match system. He REFUSES to give WWE matches five stars, the last one was the Shawn-Taker Cell match in 97. You might not agree with all of them but at least some of the below were five-star matches, IMO:
Rock-Austin X-Seven
Edge and Christian/Hadryz/Dudleyz - WM2000/Summerslam 2000/WM X-Seven
Shawn-taker WM25/26
Just to name a few. Instead he gives classics like the Shawn-Taker Mania 25 match ****3/4 yet he'll list TNA five-ways without a tenth of the storytelling as five stars. This is not a man who is a wrestling expert but someone going 'wah wah WWE 'havent had a 5-star match for fourteen years because I'm a ****ing ****'
Also, this isn't particularly a reason I dislike him but it is lol for a supposed guru of wrestling, he's a total ladder match mark. Check his ratings out for WWE and in any given year ladder matches DOMINATE.
Guys a ****, IMO.

Jeez, considering they're only kids and appear to be "wrestling" on a solid floor rather than a ring mat I would say they're bumping really well. Not that they should be trying this sort of thing at home etc...etc...
