So Vince McMahon returned to WWE RAW last night to give a WWE “State of Address”. Nobody knew what McMahon’s plans were storywise. There’s been a lot of speculation that he is going to fire AJ Lee of the RAW GM position. While McMahon was out in the ring, about to give his “WWE address” speech, of course, he was interrupted by CM Punk. CM Punk and Paul Heyman, came out to the ring. Punk like usual cries about how he is being disrespected in the WWE and how no one cares for him anymore, when everyone should since he is WWE Champion. Punk has a huge ego thinking he’s the best in the world. Punk wants McMahon to think so too.
I was expecting McMahon to do something mean like a heel kind of thing and agree with Punk that he’s the Best in the World, but sure enough, Vince is against Punk like most people. So Vince challenged Punk a wrestling match for the main event. Last night during the Punk vs. McMahon match, they were beating each other up for a good ten minutes. Punk was beating McMahon in the beginning, then McMahon came out on top in the middle of the match beating Punk like crazy. When Punk finally found a way to come back at McMahon, Ryback’s music hits, and he comes out to save McMahon. Of course, John Cena had to come out and help too, *yawn*. CM Punk runs away from the ring and stands out in the audience while watching McMahon speak of what he is about to say. McMahon forces Punk to be in a Hell in a Cell match against either Ryback or Cena of Punk’s choice. If Punk refuses, then he would FIIIIIrreeeedddd…
Well, that’s how RAW went last night with McMahon’s return. McMahon doesn’t perform full time as much as he used to. I think he’s getting too burned out about performing so much, which is why he has a RAW General Manager, give someone else the spot light. McMahon has been a babyface superhero for a while now, and I don’t think it works for him. McMahon is much more interesting being a menacing heel. Someone you really want to hate. I think the only reason McMahon turned into a babyface is well, it’s part of Linda McMahon’s Senate campaign. If McMahon was a heel during her campaign, then Linda will get attacked by the media for it. A good guy Vinnie-Mac, is just weird. I’m used to seeing him as the badguy. McMahon was pretty weak in his promos last night. He can give really amazing promos when he’s heel.
McMahon has been a heel for 90% of his entire career performing on TV. I understand he wants to do something different, but there’s something about him being good guy that doesn’t work. Maybe it’s his acting. Maybe he doesn’t know how to control the crowd when he’s babyface. He’s better being the badguy! Will McMahon ever get a heel turn again? I think he will. Just wait until Linda loses her election, and then maybe he’ll turn heel then. If McMahon turns heel, he’ll have to bring back all the offensive stuff like the Kiss My Ass club for example. The PG era today is just unreal. Can’t stand it.
