Heath Slater

I think he's one of the worst gimmicks on TV right now, but he did his part well. Good on him, the ginger c*nt. But really. I hate him more than I hate internet CM Punk fanboys.

But good on him.

Most satisfying WWE Main Event since Cena crushed that Wade Barrett douchebag under 27 chairs.

Fantastic Raw. Best in 10 years at least. Going to bed gleaming, guys, GLEAMING!

If Cena actually left, WWE would be absolutely screwed. Let's be honest.

They survived when Hogan jumped ship to WCW
They survived when Austin retired
They survived when Rocky left for Hollywood

But they'd be screwed if John Cena, a 2nd rate virsion of all the above left?

Lulz.

Yup. A wrestling company cannot survive without a top tier babyface.

He may be a 2nd rate virsion (sic) in your mind, but no one else comes nearly close.

They BARELY survived Hogan leaving.
Austin leaving sent them into a tailspin they've yet to recover from.
Rock was always irrelevant, as long as Austin was around.

Their current champion is such a success that ratings go down when he's on. Cena leaves, house shows plummet, PPV buys also drop off. Merch takes a hit but I think would be ok. Nevertheless, two of the four pillars of pro wrestling would be hurt irreparably.

Do you genuinely believe that The Rock, is in the same boat as Hogan and Austin?

Wonder if the Foley appearance was just to refute rumours that HHH doesn't want him on TV.

But the eras are different. When Hogan/Austin/Rock were around, wrestling was much hotter than it is now.

I was wondering earlier if Foley was around anymore, hadn't seen him in a while. Then again, hadn't seen much wrestling lately.

After what Foley said last night here is the list of possible guest GM hosts of RAW and Smackdown leading up to the 1,000th episode

Vince McMahon
Teddy Long
Stephanie McMahon
William Regal
Mike Adamle
Steve Austin
Ric Flair (not likely due to the legal TNA & WWE legal proceedings)
Jonathan Coachman
Bret Hart
Previous Guest GM's
HBK
Vickie Guerrero
The Anonymous GM

Could be a few interesting ones there

Oh I agree, he genuinely made me laugh last night.

Out of them GMs if I had to pick 4 they'd be Austin, Coach, Steph & Flair.

Coach was a brilliant heel.

The only thing in WWE better than Dolph Ziggler is AJ.

I hope they do Mike Adamle. Once they had his shitty memory as part of his gimmick, he was a lot of fun.

JAMAICAN ME CRAZY KOFI! Although I suppose now it would be KOFI'S GHANA GETCHA!

Whats everyones take on this 3 hours of RAW crap? This 'amazing' idea they're having of gaining more fans may backfire on them imo

I for one am getting more and more put off with it, too much meaningless crap happening, I'll be sticking to reading the results the next day and youtube'in it if anything interesting happens.

How did it end the last few times you were interested by something in the WWE and wanted to see where they went with it?

As for The Rock in the same boat as Austin and Hogan, not for me. I can see why people think that, but Austin and Hogan are in a league of their own for me. Not too excited about these three hour RAW's, but looking forward to the 1000th episode. Hope Bret is there

Don't mind these 3 hour Raws, normally an hour of adverts & watch it less than 2 anyway.

As am I, however I'm fully expecting them to just completely drop it one week, and never mention it again.
