ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE!

So I was contemplating getting a WWE Network Gift Card to watch WWE Fastlane and to get back to watching NXT again. Well, when I went to the grocery store, I didn't see the card, and I didn't feel like driving to Wal-Mart just to get a simple gift card, so I made the decision not to get one. When I woke up, seeing Roman Reigns is booked to face Triple H at WrestleMania and the IWC is irate. Using the hashtag #cancelwwenetwork, and all that. It seems like WWE really messed things up. This kinds reminds me of the Wrestlemania when Daniel Bryan ended up winning the whole thing. If you remember, Daniel Bryan wasn't originally supposed to be in the main event. If I remember right, he was booked to have another match with Sheamus. But due to the reaction of Batista vs Randy Orton, WWE had to make a change.

So I feel due to the reaction of Roman vs Hunter, WWE has to make a change. Wrestlemania is supposed to be the wrestling event of the year. It's supposed to be booked as the best wrestling show. Let's be real, WWE has failed to reach that mark on several occasions. So what is Vince going to do? I don't think Vince is going to let another Wrestlemania go down the drain. I think Vince is the type of guy that if he has to bring the grand wizard Hulk Hogan himself back and get another title run, he'd do it for the ratings. Maybe some how or another Vince can give Dean Ambrose that Daniel Bryan push, and have Dean Ambrose close out the show. Could work. AJ Styles could work, but I doubt that Vince is going to give the fans what they want this early, but I do think and see AJ Styles being a main event player in the next couple of years at Wrestlemania with Samoa Joe.

CM Punk rumors have been debunked, but that would've been an open heaven. Think about it. The backstage feud that CM Punk and HHH apparently had. Would've made all the sense in the world of wrestling, to have CM Punk come back and beat HHH for the title. But since CM Punk is apparently not returning, that won't happen.

How bout finally giving Dolph Ziggler a chance? I don't know. Maybe that would work. Dolph Ziggler has been performing his but off for years, I mean his time has to come soon, right?

In all seriousness, Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn, and the WWE has to do something. This is bad. This probably worse than the Batista/Orton thing. What ever they're going to do, they need to do it now. To quote the late great Owen Hart, "Enough is enough and it's time for a change!"

Raw Thoughts 5/7/2012 and other banter...

Before I go in, follow me on Twitter @Big_Dusty and get at me on Facebook.com/bigdusty

Johnny Ace comes out cutting a promo. Good to see Johnny holding the mic up to his face this week. Johnny said that he was the "Hulk Hogan" of Japan. Funny, I never saw his reality TV show, Ace Knows Best. Anyway, Thank God for CM Punk. CM Punk delivered on the mic like he always does. Saying that the only reason Johnny went to Japan is because nobody in the US wanted to pay him. That was genius. Not the worst opening segment in the world, but having CM Punk drop pipe bombs make it watchable.

By the way, i cannot wait for the match between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan and Over The Limit. Y'all we got to make this one of the hottest PPVs of the year just for that match alone. Come on wrestling fans!!

Anyway back to the show. We got a IC Title match between Show and Cody that nobody knew about until about 5 minutes before the match. Way to push a title WWE. Basically the match ends with Cody walking out to save the title. Show gets on the mic and calls Cody out, and out comes, Miss Hancock! Oops, i'm sorry, um, Eve. Eve comes out because Show made fun of Johnny Ace's voice which is a no no. Basically, Show got his grapefruits busted by Eve. Waste of time segment in my opinion.

The Dolph vs Kofi match was way to short in my opinion. If you going to put talent like that on TV, why not utilize that talent the way is supposed to be used? I don't get it...I really don't.

The Cena interview with Michael Cole was what it was. Cena came on the screen said he's going to beat up Johnny Ace. Moving on? Moving on...

And of course the divas got there 5 seconds of flash photography...it's not even worth going in on that subject anymore.

One in the show not one mention of the late great Owen Hart. Shame on WWE. Today would've been Owen Hart's birthday by the way.

So we got a Jericho/Del Rio vs Sheamus/Orton. Why is Jericho and Orton in this match? When did this feud start? And Jericho got the pin? What kind of sense does that make? But I did enjoy seeing Randy RKO Sheamus. For some reason, I liked that. Plus Randy Orton Heel > Randy Orton Face...any day of the week.

Now the World Title match is a fatal four way match. Well, that's great. Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk is still on the card right? I'm in.

Naomi and Cameron were on my TV. Ladies and gents you will never hear me complain about seeing those lovely ladies on my television set.

Brodus Clay vs Miz. At least it wasn't a squash. Miz actually tried to make a match out of it. The crowd booing Brodus was a great touch.

Punk Tweeted a picture of Paul Heyman....

PAUL HEYMAN SAVED THE ENTIRE SHOW TONIGHT. Paul Heyman just gave a clinic, on how to cut a promo. The man has been off of TV for, 6 years? 6 years and he comes back and cuts a promo like it's nothing? The crowd was so disrespectful. What chants? WHAT CHANTS? Disrespectful. Thank you Paul for saving this show.

As epic as Paul Heyman was, that's how awful the next and last match was. We're talking about Punk vs Bryan for the WWE Title at Over The Limit. Potential match of the year...and in the main event you have CM Punk vs Lord Tensai/Bryan. Lord Tensai is so big of a waste of time. He botched a finish. The match ends with Punk getting pinned by..Lord Tensai. This match did nothing for the build up between Daniel Bryan and CM Punk match. WWE is trying to stick to us the wrestling fans, the IWC. Let's stick it back to them, and make the Punk vs Bryan match what it's supposed to be.

The show as a whole sucked...as a whole it sucked. The crowd sucked. Over all horrible. The show was saved by two promos. CM Punk and Paul Heyman saved this show tonight. The crowd didn't deserve to have Paul Heyman speak in front of them on a mic. That's real. I said in a crowd before the crowd makes the show. This crowd made this show unbearable.

Stay Saved,

Big Dusty aka Daniel Richerson
