Really, WWE? Really? Really?

Wrestlemania is behind us and so is the RAW that followed. I don't even know where to begin. I will channel my "inner Miz" for this...

A good couple months were spent building up Daniel Bryan. I don't mind him losing his belt. I don't mind him losing matches. However, the United States Title was not even defended at Wrestlemania. It was bumped to the pre-show, made a lumberjack match and then turned into a non-title battle royal. So, instead of making the US title worthwhile at Wrestlemania, we had an 8 man tag match that people couldn't care less about with The Corre. To top it all off, the actual title match took place on RAW and it was a squash by Sheamus. Really, WWE? Really?

Speaking of the Corre... nice match. Another 2 minute match and the Corre LOST. The Tag Team Champions, the Intercontinental Champion and a brute of a man get destroyed. Those titles were also not defended Wrestlemania. How do you not have all of your titles defended at the biggest pay per view of the year? And, assuming you don't for whatever absurd reason, why would you make them mean nothing? Really, WWE? Really?

The Snooki match was all of 10 seconds. I was happy she was there because it gave WWE prime exposure all across entertainment. But... 10 seconds? Did Dolph Ziggler even hit a move? And, again, we had this instead of the US title, Tag Team titles and IC title being defended. Don't misinterpret me, though. Dolph Ziggler and John Morrison deserve to be at Wrestlemania. I find them both entertaining in the ring and both are on the brink of breaking that "Main Event" barrier. So.. this was the best way to use them? Really, WWE? Really?

The people finally get what they want! They people finally get their dream match! It's all about what the people want and how we're finally going to get it from the WWE. The main event of all main events is set! Everyone is all fired up for The Rock vs. John Cena!... in a full calendar year. This entire thing was a set up for something a year away? Really, WWE? Really?

However, the WWE did some things well, too.

The ending to the Orton/C.M. Punk match was nice. The entire match was good and it had an excellent finish. It is nice to see that the feud is continuing, too. This was one of only a few good moments from Wrestlemania and this past RAW.

A surprisingly entertaining match was the Cody Rhodes/Rey Mysterio match. It was the right length of time and helps build the rivalry and Cody Rhodes more. Kudos to Rey for choosing to work with Rhodes and trying to help jump start his career.

The match the WWE got 100% right was Undertaker/HHH. I know everyone is talking about it and it did, indeed, steal the show. It was an old-school, brutal, beat-down of a match with a lot of exciting near falls and OMG moments. The ending was superb and the after-match carting of The Undertaker to the dressing room made it feel like HHH did achieve something even though he didn't get the win.

So, what do we have to look forward to?

The Miz and John Cena will continue their feud. If The Miz would actually have a match and beat John Cena legit, i would be more interested. It's been all sucker punches and blindsides. That's all good to help build the feud and The Miz's character, but eventually he has to win clean or lose clean. I also wouldn't mind if someone killed Alex Riley. He's only slowing down The Miz's growth.

Randy Orton and C.M. Punk will continue their feud as well. I am looking forward to how this culminates at the next PPV and to see what kind of brutal match they will have. It's been entertaining enough and C.M. Punk has really risen as a star in the company. Watch your back, Miz.

Alberto Del Rio will challenge Edge at the next PPV as well. I was actually kind of happy Del Rio didn't win at Wrestlemania. Edge deserves a huge win and title defense like that at the biggest PPV of the year. I would expect Del Rio to win the title at the next PPV, though. If Del Rio would get rid of his ring announcer, i could probably be a fan. I hate the ring announcer with the fire of a thousand suns.

We also get the best, unbelievable, most wanted, super-duper, insane, magical, unprecedented, never before seen, blockbuster, epic, high-profile, main event in the history of mankind... in one year. Yep, John Cena vs. Dwayne "Don't call me The Rock" Johnson settle their heated rivalry in just under 365 days. Can you feel the excitement? The Electricity? I can't. I don't give a
crap.

Here is a highlight video of the newest WWE superstar, Sin Cara. He went by the name Mistico. HHH recruited him. He's pretty amazing. Check it out:
