"CM Punk was not at last night's RAW and was not in the script that they went to air with. One person in WWE creative said on Friday that Punk wasn't even discussed but didn't rule out a surprise return. Most people within WWE didn't know Punk would not be appearing for sure until Monday afternoon. There was never a script written that included Punk in any way, beyond the few mentions that were made. There were going to be other mentions, by who we don't know, but those were nixed from the script. Last night's RAW opened the way it did because WWE officials felt that if they ignored the Punk situation, the chants would become more powerful as the show went on. The feeling was that if they addressed it at the start of the show, the crowd would settle down some." If this report is true then well played WWE, well played. I take it that none of the suggested hijacking actually took place. That's a shame, it would have been funny to watch. You got a few chants but it was short lived really. Which I found pretty refreshing. I'm happy that fans are this passionate, my problem is if there are fans that actually enjoy the current product; them doing this just takes away from the show. |

Is the chick with the white hair supposed to be Fabulous Moolah? Because according to the intrawebz, she was the only female heel on that show... Moolah is the one in blue between Hogan and Lou Albano. Unless that's supposed to be Rockin' Robyn or something, who I don't recall being on the show. I have no idea who that white-haired chick at the top is... |

They pretty gave the fans people they wanted to see last night, besides Punk of course. |

I think WWE provided enough entertaining matches and segments along with twists that the fans weren't able to hijack the show properly. Lol what a twist! I take it that none of the suggested hijacking actually took place. That's a shame, it would have been funny to watch. You got a few chants but it was short lived really. Which I found pretty refreshing. I'm happy that fans are this passionate, my problem is if there are fans that actually enjoy the current product; them doing this just takes away from the show. Understandable, hence the Bray Wyatt / Husky Harris debut debacle. |

Then the fans who actually like the current should cheer instead of just sitting there letting the "marks" take over. |

They tried... but since when has the WWE ever cared when the chants weren't going how they wanted them to? I would argue that at some point they should, but whether these last couple of months are the proper time is up for debate. |

It's impossible to hijack a show by chanting if the people making the show don't care what you chant. |

i like CM Punk he wanted to leave and he did, and i'm ok with that. if he decides to comeback, i'll watch what he does and if it still interests me, then great, if not oh well.

Mad Maxine Ryder was created for the Junkyard 500 Episode, so sayeth the almighty intrawebz. Moolah was (appropriately) a fat redhead with a giant dollar sign on her chest.

So then who the hell is that white haired chick? Mad Maxine Ryder. I just said that. Moolah is the fatty with the dollar sign. Richter is the brunette with the ring belt. |

It's impossible to hijack a show by chanting if the people making the show don't care what you chant. I dunno. Had thousands of fans actually attended the show and done what was discussed on the itinerary it would have been such a coordinated act of protest that I would think even the WWE would react. It would have been a very public embarrassment to see the crowd literally turn its back on specific segments. |
