The PG Era Rant for Raw, November 24,

This rant is dedicated to my mom and
dad on their 41st wedding anniversary.

Our pre-show preview doesn’t talk about
that, but it does mention this:
that, but it does mention this:
- The Authority give a farewell
address. - John Cena will announce who is in
charge tonight. At first, it was implied he would decide, but it
was later clarified the Board of Directors had decided and Cena
would merely introduce him. - Big Show will explain why he
turned heel. (And he’ll have to come up with a reason other than
“he was past his due date”.) - Goldust and Stardust call in their
rematch against The Miz and Damien Sandow.
Live from Indianapolis, IN.
Your hosts are a guy who should call
matches, a guy who should retire, and a guy with no one left to cheer
for. It’s an exercise to the reader which is which.

We open with Sting’s entrance from
Survivor Series.
Survivor Series.
And we open – hopefully for the last
time in ages – with a HHH promo. Are they still the Authority if
they have no authority? HASHTAG! Stephanie’s voice is half-cracking
as she says the crowd has no respect. They don’t know how to be a
leader or how to accept responsibility for failure. And they
should’ve won, but Sting changed everything. But now, they have no
power. And on top of that, only John Cena can bring them back.

power. And on top of that, only John Cena can bring them back.
But Stephanie doesn’t feel like a
loser, because she still has responsibilities – maybe not in the
ring, but backstage, and with their family. Stephanie finally falls
apart as HHH asks if the crowd’s loving seeing the humility. HHH:
“You wanna see my wife cry?” Crowd: “YES YES YES!” HHH
calls the crowd bullies. HHH tells them to get it out of their
system, because they got what they wanted… but be careful about
what comes next. No one else can handle absolute power.

HHH and Stephanie are in a financial,
commercial world. The fans don’t understand that sometimes what the
fans want won’t help the bottom line. Now who’s going to make the
decisions now? John Cena? Dolph Ziggler? Maybe Sting? Oh, yeah,
about that…

decisions now? John Cena? Dolph Ziggler? Maybe Sting? Oh, yeah,
about that…
HHH has no idea why Sting got involved.
Was it just to get the rub from HHH? Not that it matters, because
he’ll never be in a WWE ring again. You think the Authority’s gone,
but the WWE is on life support without a leader. HHH has a greater
responsibility than anyone can imagine. HHH says they have the
luxury of not knowing that HHH had to make the decisions against the
fans to keep the WWE alive. He goes into the full Few Good Men
speech as the crowd is getting sick of it. He says no one makes it
without the Authority. Not Cena, Ziggler, Ryback, OR the fans. So
hey, you won – first question: what do you do when Raw dies? Just
sit on the couch and cry? Good luck – hey, one more cheer for the
death, please? We’re leaving now.

But first, mark HHH’s words: they will
beg for their return.
beg for their return.
AND THEN DANIEL BRYAN’S MUSIC HITS!
And yes, he’s here in street clothes. He gets six inches from HHH
and leads YES right in his face. Then does the same to Stephanie,
who can barely hold herself together. HHH glares at him, but there’s
nothing he can do so he just leaves as the YES chant continues. And
Daniel Bryan follows them, jumping and YESing all the way. HHH is
fuming and Stephanie is despondent.

HHH, as he seems to do, went on too
long. But Daniel Bryan’s appearance was just an awesome touch, since
it started with him and had to end with him. And the way he kept
rubbing it in was pure schadenfreude. Beautifully done.
long. But Daniel Bryan’s appearance was just an awesome touch, since
it started with him and had to end with him. And the way he kept

And
they and Daniel Bryan are still going YES as we come back. He says
it’s so good to be here, and it felt SO MUCH FUN to eject HHH and
Stephanie. But what about their team? See, HE’S the man in charge
tonight. But with only the small amount of power he has, he wants
the Authority team to come out. Hey, losing doesn’t make them bad
people, so give them an arousing welcome! (Crowd: boo!) NEW
HASHTAG! (Cole calls each one a loser as they come out. He’s just
giddy.)

Now,
Daniel Bryan doesn’t hold grudges, so no vacating titles or handicap
matches. Instead, we’ll start with Seth Rollins. He’s been in
handicap matches all the time, so now he’ll be in another one:
Seth/?/? v. Cena/Ziggler. (Bryan gives credit to Ziggler for
“single-handedly ending the Authority”.) Rollins (after having
some trouble with his mic) tries to interrupt. (Seth: “Are you in
control of the microphones, too?” Daniel: “Uh… yes.”)
Rollins is still the future of the WWE, so they can’t stop that. But
who’s the partners? The dwarfs? JBL and Cole? But it won’t be up
to Bryan – it’s up to the fans! Yes, it’s a WWE App Match. Your
choices are Henry/Harper, Henry/Kane, or Noble/Mercury.

Rollins:
“Wait, they’re not even real security! I mean, they’re just
security!” But Bryan says he has more business to do. And now, to
Kane. What would Dr. Shelby say about you now, Kane? If it was up
to him, he wouldn’t have the job any more… wait, it IS up to him!
So, he needs to ask the crowd. (Crowd: NO!) But he won’t fire Kane
– he’ll just demote him to working concessions. (If any of those
concessions were $9.99, this would become the best segment ever.)

So we
move on to Rusev. So, since Rusev is the US champion, maybe he
should be more US-like. So Rusev has two choices: either a battle
royal for the US title with just about everyone, or he takes the
Pledge of Allegiance. (Henry can barely keep a straight face.)
Rusev chooses Option C: he’s outta here.

Luke
Harper’s turn. He won the I-C title with help from Jamie and Joey
(please vote for them tonight), but tonight, he’s defending the
title, and it’s against Dean Ambrose. Harper is… um… hard to say
how he is. Mark Henry’s about to leave, but Bryan isn’t done. Some
big guy asked for a favor – that favor being to avenge a major
loss. It’s “the Ryback”. He wants Mark Henry tonight, and Bryan
says YES. And that match is NEXT! And Ryback charges Henry as we
begin with Henry eating post before the bell rings! Officials have
separate them as we go to break before we begin.

Okay, here’s the thing: we spent
half an hour just talking. I should hate this. I really should.
But the absolute novelty of the return of Daniel Bryan, and the fact
that Bryan’s enthusiasm is contagious, really helps. This is the
best half-hour of not wrestling I’ve seen in a long time.
Now, what’s the difference? In my mind, it’s that most of
the time, wrestlers act like they’re reading lines. The good ones –
Cena, Bryan, Rock, Punk, Shawn, Heyman – act like they’re talking.
It’s such a difference.

Ryback v. Mark Henry.
Henry
is groggy as the bell rings. Ryback runs him over in the corner, but
Henry shoves him away and gains his bearings. Ryback with a
spinebuster and it’s feeding time. Meathook, goodnight at 53
seconds. Utter squash.

HHH
and Stephanie are ready to leave in the back when they meet Vince.
Stephanie apologizes for letting him down, but Vince isn’t mad. He’s
disappointed, though. He gave them “insurmountable” odds because
that’s what you need to overcome in the corporate world, and they
failed. “I don’t like that feeling.” He wants to remember the
feeling of failure, and he says they can fix it. But don’t be sorry
– Vince has never been sorry for anything, unless you count
spending Thanksgiving with them. He tells to them to leave with him,
and the limo takes off.

I’m
getting a night-after-Mania vibe to this show. I don’t mean it’ll be
as good; I do mean it’ll be a lot of story advancement and minimal
in-ring effort. We’ve had 1 minute of wrestling so far and I don’t
even feel upset.

Intercontinental Title: Luke
Harper (champion) v. Dean Ambrose (challenger).
We
look at the crazy both Ambrose and Bray Wyatt gave us last night.
HASHTAG! Crowd is loud for Ambrose. Harper puts Ambrose in the
corner, but Ambrose escapes and throws rights. Harper with a double
chop and he fish-hooks Ambrose. Into the corner, and another
double-chop. Harper with a tackle, but Ambrose gets a drop toe-hold
and some crossface blows into an armbar. Ambrose with the Del Rio
armbreaker, and he switches to a chicken wing. Harper yanks the nose
to break. Blind charge eats elbow, and Ambrose with a spinning back
elbow to send Harper bailing. Ambrose with a pescado as we go to
break.

The
way things are going, I know what the most likely outcome is, but
almost nothing would surprise me. I don’t get that feeling very
often.

Intercontinental Title,
continued.
Harper has done the Gator Roll (probably) and has a headlock.
Someone just got kicked out by security, which distracts the crowd,
so they keep the chinlock on for a little longer. Finally,
everyone’s ready, so Ambrose fights out. A Hammer Throw by Harper
stops it, though. Harper casually kicks Ambrose and delivers
uppercuts. He shoves Ambrose around with his boot and delivers palm
strikes, but Ambrose comes back with a high kick only to have it
caught into a faceplant for one. Gator Roll into a headlock as the
crowd has a Harper section that turns into Ambrose support. Ambrose
breaks, but Harper tosses him out of the ring. Ambrose tries to
enter, but Harper uppercuts him back down and tosses him into the
barricade. Ambrose returns with a lariat out of nowhere. Back in,
it’s a slugfest, won by Ambrose with forearm shivers. Corner bulldog
is escaped, but Harper misses a charge and Ambrose cradles him for
two. Ambrose with a crossbody for two. Harper bails to the apron
and headbutts him, but Ambrose blocks a suplex, ties Harper up, and
dropkicks him. This leads to a guillotine legdrop (like the WCW
cruiserweights abused) as Harper facefaults and Ambrose gets two.
Ambrose works Harper over in the corner, but runs into the
Scrapbuster for two. Crowd cheers Ambrose as Harper tries a
powerbomb, but Ambrose escapes and gets a backslide for two. Harper
nails an elbow and goes up top with Ambrose, but Ambrose blocks a
superplex and headbutts Harper down. Ambrose floors him with a
diving elbow strike for two. Big boot by Harper gets two. Ambrose
with the rope-tangle clothesline for two. Harper bails out and tries
to walk, but Ambrose stops that with a tope suicida. Back in, a
fight over Dirty Deeds, but Harper shoves Ambrose into the ref for a
DQ at 14:32. Lame finish to a fun match. ***1/4

note: I am not taking points off for the chinlock during the crowd
distraction. If they’re not watching, take a rest. Perfectly
reasonable.

Harper
boots Ambrose out of the ring, but runs into a forearm when he tries
a dive. Ambrose brings a chair in and gives Harper Dirty Deeds on
the chair. Crowd DEMANDS tables, and with a wry smile, Ambrose
obliges… with a ladder included free of charge. But before we can
continue, Bray Wyatt appears and ambushes Ambrose, delivering Sister
Abigail’s Kiss on the floor. Ambrose is sent flying into the
announcers, then piles up any chair he can find on Ambrose. He
stands on the table, dropping the last one for effect, and raises his
glance on high. Massive heat for this.

am totally looking forward to the TLC blowoff – assuming that’s the
blowoff. With the way they’re doing the stacking of chairs and the
teasing of all three weapons, this match has to end spectacularly.

And
now, Santino Marella comes out with Larry the Cable Guy to pimp their
movie. Um… Lar-Rey Mysterio is out, actually. He’s out in the
mask, sneakers, and camo shorts. And shirtless. And he wants to
wrestle. He’s not happy when Santino says there’s no match – but
he offers the eye candy for the ladies. Larry says he beat up on
Savage in Florida for his training. Fred Savage, but still. Larry
admits he’s trying to dress like Stone Cold… Creamery.

scare him off.

so Larry’s comedy is an acquired taste to say the least, so let’s
talk about New Day instead: if this leads to Reverend Slick making a

WWE Tag Team Titles: The Miz and
Damien Sandow (champions) v. Goldust and Stardust (challengers).
And yes, Sandow has a pair of WWE Shop replica titles to wear so
that Miz can wear both real titles. An inset promo reveals that Miz
thought all the Sting headlines were about him. HASHTAG! Stardust
and Miz start, and Miz cranks the arm. He can’t quite tag in Sandow,
so Goldust gets in and a double-team ensues. Goldust with a kneeling
uppercut and inverted atomic drop… which Sandow runs in to sell.
Goldust stares at him long enough for Miz to get a cradle for two,
and he punches away in the corner. Through-the-ropes clothesline,
but Goldust catches Miz and gets a kneelift. Stardust in, and he
drops an elbowsmash and hooks the chinlock. Stardust trips the leg
and tries for a leglock, but Miz escapes. Stardust cuts off the hot
tag and throws Miz from the ring as we go to break.

Okay,
so during the intro: Lilian introduced them as “The Miz… and
Damien Sandow.” Not just to contrast the reaction, but to get a
rise out of Miz.

Tag Team Titles, continued.
Stardust and Miz are slugging it out, but heads collide and both men
are down. Hot tag Sandow, and he gets the Million Dollar Neckbreaker
and kipup. Goldust distracts, though, and Stardust gets the Macho
Hotshot as Miz’s face needs medical attention. Goldust in, and he
slugs away in the corner, then hooks the chinlock. Sandow fights
out, blocking a blind charge, but he runs into a spinebuster for two.
JBL begins ranting because screw the match. Stardust in for a
double-team (Goldust: “I got til five!”), and no one’s there to
tag out for Sandow, so Stardust gets a front suplex for two, twice.
Stardust to an armbar as Miz may have a career-ending broken nose.
Sandow tries to fight out with headbutts, but miscommunication means
Sandow gets Stardust floored. Figure-four by Sandow (on a Rhodes,
ironically), but Goldust saves. Sandow dumps Goldust, and Stardust
escapes the SCF from Sandow. Miz tags himself in, so Sandow eating
Beautiful Disaster means nothing. SCF from Miz ends it at 10:11.
Lilian says Mizdow this time. Miz and Sandow raise their titles out
of sync so the crowd can go “boo” / “yay”. And Sandow seems
a little miffed. **1/4

It’s
not about being subtle. It’s about making the crowd want to see it.
The biggest pops are always the ones you build to until it happens,
and a result you want to see coming from a mile away will usually get
a bigger reaction than one that comes out of nowhere.

So
here’s Rusev now with Lana, who calls the whole thing unfair. And
America’s unfair. Who forces their will upon their people, anyway?
(The irony doesn’t go unnoticed.) Rusev rants in Bulgarian, then
says he won’t be brainwashed. So that’s it, we’re done. Except
Daniel Bryan is on the Tron and tells them that the other option is
the battle royal. But hey, they get a second chance to decide –
and he’s sending Sgt. Slaughter to “supervise” this time. (He
was, as always, available.) He slobbers on Rusev and drops the flag,
much to Lana’s dismay. An argument breaks out amid the USA chant,
and Sarge demands the pledge. And that’s an order! Rusev refuses,
but Lana meekly complies – until the line “of the United States
of America”, at which point Rusev stops her. Rusev ends this and
decides for Option IV: murder Sarge. Sarge, to his credit, is ready
to go…

of America”, at which point Rusev stops her. Rusev ends this and
decides for Option IV: murder Sarge. Sarge, to his credit, is ready
to go…
…and
Jack Swagger remembers they had an issue a few months ago and races
in. Rusev cuts him off and attacks, but jumps into the high-angle
suplex and Ankle Lock! Rusev breaks and escapes, ready to walk off.
Sarge joins in WE THE PEOPLE.

So
I guess the kayfabe result is that Lana’s very despondent attempt at
the Pledge was enough to stop the battle royal. Then again, let’s
hope they pick this up later, with next week’s booker – er, interim
GM – calling him on it.

Meanwhile,
Kane has to sell concessions to Santino and Larry and hilarity
ensues.

Justin Gabriel v. “The New And
Improved” Fandango.
So, wait, who’s the heel here? I watch NXT – does that just not
count? So now he’s doing a salsa dance with Rosa Mendes. Fandango
cuts off a criss-cross with an elbow as the crowd tries to sing his
old theme. Fandango punches down Gabriel in the corner, following
with a Hammer Throw and boot rake. Gabriel cuts Fandango up and
nails a diving fistdrop, then a diving elbow strike, but Fandango
flips Gabriel with a lariat. Suplex cutter as the crowd gives up and
chants for CM Punk. Diving legdrop ends it at 1:47. The New And
Improved Fandango is neither new nor improved. Discuss.

And
here’s a smiling, happy Big Show. He wants to get in the crowd’s
good graces – the online reactions are getting to him. They act
like it’s a horrible atrocity and he’s “a bad guy”. He’s not;
he’s human! He screwed up. Show is starting to cry as he says
everyone makes mistakes. Look, he hates the Authority too!
Remember? They took his job and house? They made him beat up Daniel
Bryan? Yeah, he’s a giant and a strong man and all… but it’s a
medical condition! But he’s got feelings like all of you and a
family to feed!

Yeah,
last night, he panicked, okay? He looked at the sides, saw Dolph
knocked out, John Cena barely standing, and three opponents… and he
figured he was going to lose. So he acted out of self-preservation.
So if you could see his point of view, you’d forgive him, right?
Yeah, people want to boo and cheer, but now’s not the time. (Crowd:
Boo.)

BIG
SHOW IS A GOOD PERSON, REALLY. Big Show wished he didn’t do it,
given how things turned out. Show: “You believe that, right?”
Crowd: “No.” Show doesn’t want to sound like a jerk, but look,
he’s been in this 20 years and they owe him one mis-step. Can we
just forget what happened, please? (Crowd: You Sold Out.)

And
that’s the reaction the crowd was supposed to give, because Big Show
gets angry. How dare that high and mighty crowd pass judgment on him
when they have nothing on the line! This is his livelihood – not
the fans’! He hears what they say, but that’s not who he is. He
deserves respect, dammit! You gonna boo him? Guess what: he hears
the cowards in the locker room say it – so say it to his face right
damn now!

And
taking up the challenge: Erick Rowan. Big Show finds the idea that
Rowan of all people comes out idiotic. “The upside-down Sheamus
has something to say!?” He was expecting John Cena – he has a
legit gripe. But ROWAN? What could Rowan say, considering he
doesn’t have his toys with him? Rowan just approaches as Show keeps
mocking him. Crowd begins to chant for Rowan as Show tells him he’s
in a man’s world now and Rowan has no place being in the ring.

But
Rowan takes the mic. “I don’t like BULLIES!” And with that, the
fight is on, with Rowan flooring Show with a big boot. Show flips
the stairs in anger as Rowan dares him to return. Show: “You just
sealed your fate!” Rowan won’t back down, so Show walks off
instead. There was an Erick Rowan chant.

Seth
Rollins is texting while Noble and Mercury try to give him a pep
talk. Rollins, though, says they’re a little small for him. Then
Dolph Ziggler arrives to give THEM a pep talk. In fact, he asked his
many many Twitter followers to vote for them. Seth feels like he’s
surrounded by idiots.

So,
please update your 80s-to-modern day chart: John Cena as Hulk Hogan,
Dean Ambrose as Roddy Piper, Brock Lesnar as Andre the Giant, Daniel
Bryan as Randy Savage, Seth Rollins as Ted DiBiase, Rusev as Nikolai
Volkoff, Jack Swagger as Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and now Erick Rowan as
George Steele. Play along at home! And as I said in the live
thread, the idea of one of Cena’s teammates being mad at almost being
fired is a better story.

Brie Bella v. AJ Lee.
But first, AJ has a mic. She sarcastically calls Nikki on winning
her accessory, and says: “Brie, lesbi-honest, you did the
impossible: you proved you’re an even bigger skank than your sister.”
One guess what the crowd chants. Brie with forearms in the corner,
but AJ fires back and sends her out of the ring. AJ floors Nikki,
but Brie floors AJ on the outside. Back in, it gets two. Brie with
a single-arm DDT and she works the arm. Brie wraps the arm around
the bottom rope, then kicks the arm. Into a hammerlock, as the crowd
finalls remembers her name is AJ and chants for her. Somewhat. AJ
elbows out, but Brie goes back to the arm. Another single-arm try
leeds to an AJ rollup for one. Thesz Press and she gets a corner
clothesline. Shining Wizard gets two. Brie kicks AJ away, but Nikki
drapes the arm on the ropes and La Majistral gets it at 3:24. 3/4*
AJ is furious and says the two of them are not half the woman she
is. (Nikki checks her chest in response.) AJ unleashes a hell of a
line: “Talent is not sexually transmitted.”

Just
an observation about that last comment: yes, it’s a great shot at
Total Divas and what the two are known for, but if AJ stood on her
own two feet with the crowd, it may have more bite. As it is, it
sounds like there’s a ready-made comeback. Though I’m sure these
lines will be all over Facebook as evidence of how awesome AJ is.
Which means, again, I have no point.

Adam Rose and The Bunny v. Tyson
Kidd and Natalya.
So does this mean that the Bunny is female? Larry and Santino are
on commentary, and the Bunny spreads some love. Rose is not amused
and throws the Bunny in. Rose and Kidd start. The Bunny tries to
fire up the crowd, but Rose makes him stay in the corner. And now,
it’ll be Bunny starting instead. He ducks and does the Flair Strut.
Kidd corners Bunny, but Bunny escapes and twerks. Blind charge eats
rabbit’s feet, and Bunny gets a missile dropkick and bicycle stomp in
the corner. He shows his moves to commentary, but Kidd rebounds with
a spinkick that may well knock the Bunny out. Natalya wants in now,
and Kidd obliges. So Natalya helps the Bunny up. Kidd is upset and
tags back in, getting a kiss from Natalya… and running into a
flapjack. What passes for a hot tag to Rose, and he gets a
spinebuster for two. Rose and Bunny talk strategy, but Bunny trips
Rose by mistake and Kidd gets the cradle for the pin at 3:07. I’m
going to pass on rating this because I have no idea how I would.

enough to make them stronger united.

Young is with Cena and Ziggler. It’s been a heck of a 24 hours.
Last night, after Big Show’s backstabbing, Cena saw that Ziggler was
on his own against three guys. People’s jobs were on the line, but
Dolph promised he would never stop surviving. But still, the team
needed a miracle – and that’s where Sting came in. And because of
him – and Dolph – the Authority’s done. Daniel Bryan is running
Raw and the fans are in charge. It’s all about the WWE App, but the
show’s gonna be stolen.

had to get his lines in, but he still spent some time getting Dolph

Steamboat? Is that too generous?

Dolph Ziggler and John Cena v.
Seth Rollins and Noble/Mercury (93%).
Noble and Mercury are excited. Rollins… isn’t. Noble (with a
chant) starts with Cena. Cena even offers a headlock. Mercury tags
in, and we get a comedy criss-cross that ends with the two stooges
colliding. Rollins stops an AA to Mercury and pulls them out to
regroup as we go to break.

The
funny part about this is that being a nameless security guy has made
Jamie Noble more popular than he ever was a Jamie Noble. With
Mercury it’s debatable given how big MNM were, though.

Main event, continued.
Cena is stuck in the wrong corner as Noble works him over with
shoulder thrusts. He stomps away on Cena, but a blind charge eats
the post. Hot tag Dolph, and Noble goes flying. Rude Awakening and
giant elbowdrop follow. Sky High DDT gets two, Mercury saves.
Rollins lariats Dolph to put Noble back in control. Rollins tosses
Dolph to the outside, and Mercury sends him into the barricade.
Rollins adds a Hotshot onto the apron. Back in, Rollins with a
hairpull armbar. Noble in, and he kicks away and gets a slam and
legdrop for one, brother. To the chinlock, but Dolph breaks with a
jawbreaker. Stinger Splash by Dolph misses, though. Noble with a
headstomp, but Dolph wakes up with a dropkick out of nowhere.
Mercury stops a hot tag, but Dolph flips out of a back suplex and
gets it anyway. Cena goes through the comeback sequence on Mercury,
then chases Rollins off the apron before the Five-Knukle Shuffle.
Rollins is surrounded, but Noble and Mercury attack only to collide
on the double-whip. Stereo finishers end it at 10:02. **
