WWE RAW retort - People are sheep, they need to be led

Bryan really has taken the WWE ‘Universe’ by the horns, goat horns if you wish, and have put us all in the “NO!” lock. He’s stolen our hearts, and made everyone want to root for him. Sadly, the way Bryan ended RAW makes me think he won’t be the one to win the MITB All Stars Match. Same goes double for Sheamus whose boring run as a face has made him a fun addition in the MITBLM, but not really someone to be taken seriously right now.

Christian versus Kane wasn’t the best match of the night, but at least they know how to bring the fans in and tell a story with their work. They worked hard and were entertaining, if not the most exciting. They were a great lot better than Sin Cara and Del Rio, but that’s not very hard.

So while Christian and Kane were not the best, the two of them in the All Starts MITBLM are going to add so much. Christian is a master of ladder matches, and he’s going to add a unique spice of his own. The same could be said of Kane, because even though many people think he shouldn’t be in MITBLMs, he always adds something that no other big man could ever add.

And then there’re Jericho and Axel. Okay, I know Axel is fantastic, but it seems like it’s taken forever for him to get the push he deserves. He looks a lot like his father in how he works the ring, but it was also great to see him channeling Orton by hitting the drop kick on Jericho as he came off the corner.

Obviously the WWE feels they have something grand in Axel as they’ve put him with Heyman, and have him facing such big names, and I understand why. Axel is going to the top of the company in a big way. Nothing like following in the family footsteps.

Punk and Orton really tore down the house. If it hadn’t been for Bryan and Sheamus, or Jericho and Axel being in the ring, I’d have said that Punk and Orton were the only ones who really showed any decent ring work. But they all had solid matches, so I have to admit I’m torn.

Punk and Orton were better than the other two, but Bryan did steal the show in the end. Orton being in the ring with the likes of Bryan and Punk has really raised his stock in the WWE. His ring work has grown in forcefulness and creativity. He’s stepped back up from being loved by the women to being cheered by everyone.

The fans were torn by the question of whom to cheer for in this match, and there was just the two of them. Can you imagine what the All Stars MITBLM is going to be like? I know there’re other good matches on this pay-per-view card, but this one might just tear the house down.
