Title This: WWE Raw Reaction 8-28

Daniel BryanR-Truth Defeats Daniel Bryan Via Countout

What I Liked:

First off, let me talk about the Anger Management segments. This was some of the most entertaining pre-recorded segments I have seen in a very long time. I loved the interaction with Bryan and Harold, really showcasing the acting abilities from Daniel. This was extremely comical and played off of the strengths of Bryan. When Kane did his life story bit, it was very Austin Powers and I popped big time. This was a fantastic way of telling his life and getting the crowd to appreciate some of the ridiculous storylines he has made interesting. This was excellent television on many levels, and opening up more ideas and ways of getting Bryan to be more than he already is. The match was quick and had Bryan show progress in his anger. You could see how he wanted to explode at any moment, and he did that. He would get counted out, and Bryan went crazy. In a snap of a finger, he goes from sane to insane. I cannot begin to praise a guy like Bryan, making everything he does turn into gold.

Grade: A

Triple H's Speech

What I Liked:

If they want the crowd to really believe that Triple H will retire, then they did a great job at it on Raw. The Game is really good at speaking to the crowd and getting them behind him without being extremely cheesy. They built up the speech all night with highlights of his career. It seemed real, and his tears looked legit. He talks about what he has done in his career, and basically never says he is going to retire.

What I Disliked:

It sucks that the internet and the fans are too smart to really take this seriously. We all know he will not go away from the company without a huge match or retirement match. I will take it like I did not know he was coming back, and say he did a good job. There is not much to say about this besides, "When will he come back?" My best guess is Heyman and Lesnar will try to overtake the company in some way. There is a lot you can do to make Lesnar become the guy again and bring him back into the WWE. They have a full year to do this, but they cannot let him off television month after month with no progress.
