This is a day old and I normally don't really follow this stuff so if you've already seen it, apologies and tears. For those who haven't, there's apparently a movement among fans- in the thousands, I guess- to disturb the WWE'S flow as it builds toward Wrestlemania. Part of this movement was a coordinated plan to disrupt RAW last night. I'm assuming that it didn't happen or I would have heard about it, but I find this fascinating. I guess this is a copy of the itinerary that was circulated by the group's website. Or twitter feed, or however people communicate these days.  www.wrestlingrumors.net/highjacking-itinerary-issued-march-3-monday-night-raw-attendees/18601/ |

Whoever made this... F*** them. Nah. They're passionate fans. I disagree with them (partially) but if there were enough of them to get this done, more power to them. |

Everybody got excited when he made his way over to commentary... but then he sat there with his headset on saying nothing of consequence. He DID look like he was genuinely enjoying the match though. Cena said something to the effect of "I understand this hijack stuff, I get it." |

On one hand this strikes of petulant entitlement, but on the other hand if enough people are fed up with the product that they're willing to pay to make a group statement on WWE's on show then hey, like he said, more power to them. |

No, I was mainly speaking of the CM Punk part. They think it's entirely WWE's fault that CM Punk isn't wrestling for WWE right now, and they also expected him to go into the main event of Wrestlemania despite what he had done. |

The guest hosts always used to be met with apathy or anger (and I normally don't blame them) but I'm glad to see some love for Jesse, the actor seems like a really nice guy who'd be legitimately interested in this kind of stuff. Too bad he didn't make some kind of bitch comment though. Maybe "Yeah! WWE, bitch!" |

I get where soon is coming from too. The fans ARE getting really irritating with their CM Punk chants and stuff. It genuinely DOES disrupt the show, and it was the best RAW (the last few minutes notwithstanding) in... well probably a year or more.
To me, it's a Catch 22. Without passionate fans, where would wrestling be? You take the good with the bad.

Oh he didn't come back then? Good. I still don't think bringing him back (if it's even an option) is the right thing to do right now. |

Too bad he didn't make some kind of b**** comment though. Maybe "Yeah! WWE, b****!" He wasn't really a host at all. He drove Ziggler out to his match in the car from his movie and sat at commentary for the match, which was incredibly brief. |

They basically had Paul Heyman come out and all but say that CM Punk was gone from WWE for good. |

Without passionate fans, where would wrestling be? You take the good with the bad. This reminds me of that controversial night when Bray Wyatt debuted. Half the rags were upset that the crowd was a distraction and essentially ruined the show with chants of "Husky Harris" whereas the other half of the commentators thought that it was perfectly acceptable for the fans to react however they wanted. I generally agree with the latter, though I also feel it's a shame that crowd interaction has become so cynical and telegraphed. I miss the days of simple boos and cheers. |

One of our debates last night was whether it was troll from the WWE, or just a stupid internet rumor. Interesting. I'm guessing both. Or Dave Meltzer. Oh he didn't come back then? Good. I still don't think bringing him back (if it's even an option) is the right thing to do right now. They basically had Paul Heyman come out and all but say that CM Punk was gone from WWE for good. Uh-oh. If they're openly acknowledging something like that, using someone like him, then now I have my doubts. |

Meltzer was the source of the Punk return rumor. Just sayin'
