WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The people of Philadelphia appear to have voted for one of the other three nominees. Cena agrees with Flair that this is a lively crowd. He says that Superstar of the Year embodies hustle, loyalty, and respect. They need to work harder than anybody else. Punk recognizes the loyalty of the WWE Universe.

Cena cashed in the Money in the Bank and lost. He lost last night. Cena is a loser like the people of Philadelphia.

that was cool but was awesome to see the veterans and also the old mid carders back. I do believe WWE will be bringing back many of them because I remember a story a while ago that they wanted to bring back more mid carders. I expect to see a major change to the line ups in 2013.

Well... damn. Last week's Raw was the worst one in a long time, but they really brought it this week and pulled out everything (and everyone) but the kitchen sink (and The Shockmaster, although they kinda did, with Tensai. :p) Great episode with a lot of actual surprises that weren't, for once, reported on the dirtsheets beforehand.

Can't believe they're actually turning ADR face.
