MARKED OUT! …checked out… RAW 07/15/13

PAUL HEYMAN / CM PUNK / BROCK LESNAR segment: MARKED OUT!

Am I the only one that could just sit and listen to Punk and Heyman go at it verbally all night? They are KINGS of the microphone. Great back and forth from the former “best friends.”

Out comes Lesnar…who DESTROYS Punk. Which obviously means Punk will go over during their match right? Right.

Lesnar looks SO hugh next to Punk too. This one could definitely be billed as “David vs Goliath”…although Punk would rather be Jesus in the situation hahaha. Remember? SES? Remem…oh screw it. NEXT MATCH!

ROB VAN DAM def. CHRIS JERICHO: MARKED OUT…then MARKED OUT AGAIN!

Classic “5 star” match here folks. These two have ALWAYS put on awesome matches together, and they didn’t disappoint here. Every move was fluid, calculated, and immaculate.

It’s sad that as RVD gets back to the WWE, Jericho is on his way out, because I would love to see this one happen a few more times before RVD leaves again. I’m a Van Dam mark, and I loved every minute of this main event. They gave them three segments and said, “go kill it,” to which Y2J and “The Whole F’n Show” said, “done and done.” Killer match. Killer night.

*WWE Champion* JOHN CENA names DANIEL BRYAN #1 Contender: MARKED OUT!

We all knew this would be his decision…but YES! YES! YES!

That’s all. YES! YES! YES!

RAW 07/15/13 OVERALL: MARKED OUT!

I’m not really sure what to say besides THANK YOU WWE for putting on 2 great RAWs back to back. Can we keep this streak going as we head towards SummerSlam?

My brain says no, but my heart wants you to answer with a YES! The talent is getting better, crowds are reacting well, and the product seems to be shifting towards better content. Again people, this business has always been cyclical. When it’s not so good, it just means that it’s about to be great again. I think we’re on the verge of greatness.

Here’s to next week being as good as this one. If it is…my article next week may just say MARKED OUT…and that’s it.
