Night Of Champions was okay. Nothing too spectacular.

Doesn't that pretty much describe the ENTIRE post-Attitude era?

Yes.

No Ric Flair?

The graphic says "WWE Championship", and it's specifically meaning the WWE belt. Nobody on there has worn the Big Gold Belt, or at least those aren't the reigns that are being depicted.

Yeah, but Flair won that belt a few times. Savage kept it longer than Flair

[JeffHCross]

Flair's longest reign with the WWE belt was 77 days.

I find Savage's reign less than the fact that the longest reign in the last 25 years is Cena, for 380 days. How things have changed.

This is pretty sweet from WWE.com:

I'm surprised HHH's longest wrong is so short and that Cena's longest is so long. At one time, I felt like HHH had the belt for year's and everytime I'd turn the WWE on, Cena was losing the belt or fighting to get the belt back.

its still almost 3 months longer than what undertaker ever had.

[JeffHCross]

I think the key is that Cena was carrying the Raw brand for a loooong time, with very little established competition at some points.

But, there's a reason why this list starts 25 years ago. Of the 13 reigns before 1987 (the belt was introduced in 1963, a period of 24 years), only 6 were less than 380 days. Bruno Sammartino held the belt for nearly 8 years. How things have changed. Obviously, TV changed the patience of long reigns, considerably, but still, the difference is stunning.

During the conclusion of Monday's WWE Raw, CM Punk jumped into the crowd to escape from an enraged Ryback and gives a fan an elbow and punch, which can be seen in the videos below.

If you look closely a fan on the left side puts his arm out and CM Punk smacks the fan behind. Vince McMahon appeared to be shocked at what he witnessed.

Call this guy up to the main rosters already!!!

Ric Flair Possibly Returning to WWE Next Monday on Raw

A report from PWInsider.com courtesy of WrestlingInc.com says,

People close to Ric Flair are saying that he will be returning to WWE at the October 29th RAW from Charlotte, North Carolina. The belief is that he will be getting involved in the storyline with AJ Lee, Vickie Guerrero and John Cena.


The Nature Boy returns to be immediately involved in a storyline centered around alleged scandal, the company's top star, the hottest/youngest of the company's females and a struggle for power.

It all sounds about right.

Flair can return to WWE, but shouldn't wrestle. His talents can be used in every other capacity but an opponent for someone else.


The best talent Ric Flair has is being Ric Flair. The name sums up an attitude and lifestyle.

He can be involved in soap opera shenanigans and make it work. He can be paired with an up-and-coming star like a Dolph Ziggler and it can help that star. He can be on commentary.

(Well, Flair on commentary might take away from the match—not on purpose, but when Ric Flair speaks, he is the center of attention.)

WWE needs a shot in the arm. They just had the worst ratings showing in 15 years. They were up against a lot of competition, but still, a big name legend returning would only help.

As of now, it's all a rumor but certainly adds suspense to Monday's Raw.

Is AJ Lee tall enough to ride space mountain? WOOOOOO!

So I tuned in briefly a few weeks back and I realized how old I was seeing as VIRTUALLY ZERO stars from the last time I seriously watched are still on the WWE roster. It appears that this Ryback character is getting some kind of Goldberg like push up the ranks and I'm not sure why as his match lasted for less time than the Ultimate Warrior and other than "feed me more" I'm not sure he could cut a decent promo if his life depended on it.

ryback is scary strong. if he's not on roids, i'd be shocked, but that dude is all muscle. he makes brock lesner look small.

he's definitely huge (and on roids/peds). however, i wasn't impressed with his in ring skills and from what i can tell they aren't giving him ANY opportunity to speak other than "feed me more". it just sort of reminded me of the ultimate warrior - SHORT matches where he dominates and really bad/weird promos.

Ironic that you mentioned he's getting a Goldberg-like push, because ... yeah.

[JBHuskers]

Solid matches tonight as we go into the Hell In The Cell match of Punk and Ryback. Nothing too surprising, just solid matches.

[Nothingface]

What ya think will happen with Ryback and Punk? I only read results.....i dunno much about storylines.

match just finished...... dont click the spoiler if you dont wanna know the outcome....obviously

Spoiler: show

punk wins. ryback sets him up for his finisher, when the ref interferes and low blows ryback; punk rolls him up and the ref gives a quick count giving punk the win. punk and the ref try escaping the steel cage, but they cant get the door open. ryback recovers and goes ape shit, throwing punk into the cage and beating the crap out of the ref. punk escapes the cage but not ryback, who tries to swing him into the outside of the cage, but punk kind of counters this and jumps onto the cage and starts climbing it. ryback goes after him and both end up on top of the cage. ryback hits his finisher and they're both lucky the fencing didnt break, sending them crashing down to the ring like in foley/undertaker.

Check out the hacked Wiki article on WWE Ref Brad Maddox.

Maddox was promoted to the main roster as a referee in August 2012.

That year, in the Hell in a Cell event held on October 28 in Atlanta, Maddox was the official for the WWE Championship match between Goldberg and champion CM Punk. At the end of the contest, as Goldberg was going for his finisher, Maddox stepped in and told Goldberg to not do so. He then low-blowed Goldberg in the testicles, allowing CM Punk to pin Goldberg, and quickly counted to three, thus helping CM Punk retain the WWE Title. After the match, Goldberg press slammed Maddox from the ring into the cell structure. As cameras stopped rolling, Maddox was being attended to by WWE personnel. No immediate word was available regarding his condition.

The ending was interesting. The sad thing is this is a Hell In The Cell PPV and the cell is used for one match that barely went over 10 minutes
