Well that wasn't PG! (RAW Spoilers)

First topic message reminder :

Brock ends up covered in blood, that seems very out of character...botch or blade?

I'm pretty sure they're not allowed to use blood any more, WWE's rules for wrestlers outlawed it.

On the other hand, we have seen chair shots to the heads and a spike piledriver (last night) which have also been banned.

I think the fact that the cameras were making quite an obvious attempt to avoid showing the blood too much and the actual position of the wound means it's pretty unlikely that it was intended.

First part yes, second part, I am not so sure.

He is a tough guy. Maybe he volunteered to be busted open the hard way

Not sure Brock would volunteer to be busted open the hard way, he's tough but isn't exactly comfortable with pain - his MMA career is testiment to that.

Only just getting round to watching now and like everyone I went with a botch

Slightly off topic but just upto the Shield segment. I think Reigns has been impressive in the ring so far but he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a microphone

I think he and Rollins were better on the mic this week, much more considered. Reigns only shouted once!

It'll come with time, I think that's why they work so well as a team, as individuals they will have flaws but as a team they unite and have everything.

Dean Ambrose doesn't have flaws!!!! He has loveable quirks instead.

He's an ugly bugger though

As for Reigns, I don't mind him being a bit less than awesome on the mic. They can't all be Foleys or Funks or Mantels. Same goes for Rollins. Let the stuff they do in the ring make up for it.

I see Reigns as a sort of Goldberg type persona, he doesn't do 10 minute promos he spears guys through walls.

My Review of Raw for the good things

The opening segment was class, if they can be brutal like that at mania, then i will be happy. HHH did actually look proper bad ass when he came out, Lesnar did his usual decent job. No one can really complain about how that was done.

The John Cena vs CM Punk was probably there 2nd best match ever together. Epic but sadly, it had the Cena win, but its what was always going to happen. None the less Punk still looks strong and after the promo he cut earlier in the night, i think thats the start to a feud with taker.

The Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger segment was decent. The best i have ever seen Del Rio on the mic. Seems WWE will be putting Swagger in the main event at Mania despite the recent problems. But if they can keep producing promo's like that, then i look forward to the match at Mania.
