I saw the opening segment before I went to bed last night, I'm surprised some on here thought it was shit or awkward- I thought it was brilliant and also thought Cena was decent. There should be some fantastic pics too, as Hogan and Cena standing next to each other in dim lighting looked class, as did The Wyatts looking forward at them. Great visuals.

I agree it was a great visual when they were facing The Wyatt's, I was more basing the awkwardness on Cena not really doing the poses in sync. Still, those two stood side by side was brilliant.

Brilliant Raw.

Cena and Hogan posing felt abit awkward, but, I was dying to see Hogan throw a few punches and rip the shirt off.

Natalya is just so smug and thinks her shit doesn't stink. Can't stick her.

Some Wrestling fans are just the worst.

I never usually miss a Raw but just for the fact that this is going to be awful to watch due to the crowd, I'm tempted to wait for the show report from people on here first.

Good point, didn't really think of it in that way.

Just been watching MTV news and on the scroller at the bottom, it said 'Undertaker makes suprise appearence at WWE Raw'. Bit strange I thought, especially seeing as Hogans return, surely is the bigger story.

I dont think he looks particularly bad in trunks, but could do with a jacket.

Also, theres no wonder they chucked him in a boiler suit, this is a bad look:

Pain and Gain is made even better by The Rock wearing the same silk shirts that he wore at the height of his initial heel run on Raw.

This for example:

Obligatory post picture of the fans filing in the venue and passing it off as the actual live crowd when show is actually in progress. Twat.

Not one person on the pic is just entering the arena. Its already been stated that the pic was taken from the side that the hard cam is facing but that is still a poor attendence. Calm yourself down.

Close one between Matrix and Frankie as both guys are fantastic, but, Matrix just took the vote.

I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but, there's just something about Kofi Kingston that bores the tits off of me. Apart from the odd Acrobatic-ish spot (Rumble, Money in the Bank) and the Orton run years ago, I don't think I've enjoyed anything he's done. He's solid in the ring and possibly has potential, but, whenever his music hits it just makes me want to fast forward.

Will do, thanks.

How long is Wrestlemania Axxess on for? I'm planning on doing a trip to America next year to a few different locations and would like to do the Wrestlemania Experience while im there.

He looks like he's wearing a one of those cardboard cutout masks.

How can this arguement still be valid when NXT is chock full of smaller talent who can get the job done in the ring? Wrestling always has and always will, need its big guys.

EDIT: Or what KJHenley said.

Bayley has a slight look of Juice from Sons of Anarchy.

Only seen the first hour of Raw so far but, Big E and Roman Reigns having the staredown in the video package had quite a bigtime feel, kind of along the same lines of Batista and Cena before they blew up.

But, surely most of Avatar's hype was based around it being a James Cameron film?

EC3's face annoys me for some reason, I thinks it's the Zoolander face he always pulls. He used to do it while he was Derrick Bateman aswel so it can't just be a character trait.

Oh right, thanks for that. Didn't even think of the advertising aspect of it in all honesty.

Something I've always wondered, are the ratings affected by people recording the programme? Like for example, if someone sky+'ed Raw (or the American equivalent), will that count as a view even if it's not watched live?

Cesaro was once again, brilliant last night. When he went to swing Hornswoggle and feigned pulling his back, that got a laugh out of me. He usually bores the shit out of me, but he's on fire recently. Honourable mention to the leap over Swagger.

Has anyone seen the post that Sky Bet have up on Facebook regarding the betting for Battleground?

The comments underneath range from cringeworthy to straight up embarrassing. You have guys on there spouting the 'it's all fake, this is just asking for match fixing' gubbins, but then you have the wrestling fans that are the reason it's sometimes easier to not admit to being a wrestling fan, commenting with things like 'if it's so fake, tell that to Droz blah blah blah'.

It's an amusing read.

I've only been in it for a short while so not had a full scout around. Looking forward to finding out though.

I could drive around in the

That's why I put rumour, it's from Wrestlezone which I know isn't much cop. Sorry for the mix up.
