I will give Bubba (Bully) Ray his credit. When he is live on the air he is a complete professional and knows how to sell the stories to the crowd. Now only if his in-ring performance would get better.

While I do agree, that doesn't always make a mega super star. Just look at Hogan, made a career at being terrible in the ring ;):p. There are a few match exceptions, but I think that had to do a lot more with the other person (ex. Rock at WM18).
Kofi winning surprised the hell out of me. I was fully expecting a DQ win at the most. I'm curious if this is going to happen each Raw until the Rumble. Orton goes 1v1 against a mid career, and gets beat clean. Starts making him flip out and all.
Well color me surprised. Considering it was Orton who cost Kofi his one (and to date) only push in WWE, I'm surprised they let Kofi win. Then again, Orton, with 2 strikes on the drug policy, has a lot less pull now than when he did back then. Orton really can't say (or act out in the ring) in a way that makes the match or spot look bad.
That being said the crowd was completely dead during that match. I'm not entirely sure that its going to go anywhere for Kofi based on that crowd response. Then again, why would the crowd care about the match, it had been built up as a squash match all night, so it was popcorn and bathroom break time.
I certainly wasn't expecting the Daniel Wyatt era ending that quickly but it sure did work. That crowd was on fire at the end of that show. I like the idea about Kanes potential involvement with this whole Bryan vs Wyatt feud.
It was cool to see WWE finally use some of the NXT divas even if it was a subtle plant in the crowd.
Sandow and Cena was a great match.
As far as Cody/Goldust goes, I think they will play out like this:
Goldust eliminates Cody from the RR match getting revenge for last year. This will set up the potential face vs face, brother vs brother, see who the better man truly is type of match instead of needing to turn one heel to fight the other.
As for Daniel, I'm hoping his next promo is about how he knew the only way to get Bray alone is to join them. Like he had this mastermind plan the whole time to get Bray in a cage by himself. Kane is slowly turning back to face, so I feel his reign as Corporate lackey is coming to an end. His real life political stuff must be coming to an end. All in all, that was an AWESOME Raw.
With all the heavyweights running around, at the moment, there could be a new WWE show called WWE Heavyweights. Seriously, how many Wrestlers are going to hold the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? Also, when are they going to get the new belt! Carry two as one Champion looks weird and is weak. /rant.
Kinda figured Sheamus was gonna return at the Rumble. I'm not even sure what happened to RVD. I hadn't thought about him until I watched that interview Bubba Ray did on the last page.

Little angel, go away come again some other day the Devil has my ear today I'll never hear a word you say. He promised I would find a little solace and some peace of mind. Whatever. just as long as I don't feel so desperate and ravenous.
RVD had a short term contract kinda like how Chris Jericho comes in and out with his other projects. From what I read he is welcome to come back any time but is doing some other things.
So apparantly WWE and Sting are talking monikers for him. So it looks like last night's "Contract vs Title" match was Sting's last match in TNA. I've got mixed feelings about this. As much as I want to see Sting in WWE's HoF, I don't want to see him get smashed for a year to get it. However, I think the perfect angle would be allow Sting some time off. Around July/August, have Flair come back and be a manager to a heel. Have him constantly involve himself in the match. Have Sting show up and challenge Flair to "One More Match". Make it at Wrestlemania. Will it be a classic barn burner like their previous matches, no. But it's nostalgia and it would be AWESOME!!!.
Everybody wants to see Undertaker vs Sting at Wrestlemania I'm pretty sure thats where WWE is going to go first don't you? I don't thing he would come to WWE for one more match though I think he would have a few others. I could see him on a contract like Brock Lesnar has easier then an every week kind of guy.
Sting vs Taker in any ppv other than WM I'm fine with. Do not take the legendary Stinger into a squash match. "One More Match" was more for Sting vs Flair one last time.
Even if we all know Sting would lose (for good reasons other than Undertaker would want to go over Sting) I'm sure it would be nothing close to a squash match. Everybody knew that Rock would beat Hogan and that match was fantastic.
if they did some workup matches where Sting wins at some ppvs then the big wm match, i'm ok with Sting losing at WM. Sting has lost a lot of his move set from age and weight, but definitely deserves some big shine moments in WWE.

The day they show Sting standing in the crowd/rafters with a baseball bat on RAW will probably be the day I mark out the hardest of anything ever. Unless AJ Styles comes to WWE.
I really would love to see AJ or Daniels in WWE but they'll never go.
The Sting vs Taker match could be incredible, but it could also be pretty bad. Both are shells of their former selves so it could be a disappointing finish for both men. I can't wait to see what they do with Sting. I'm definitely optimistic about this.
And here is Bubba Ray talking about the spot. Really shows what kind of person she was. (They discuss it at 28 minutes exactly.)

Wait, Kofi's getting a push?!
Daniel Bryan left the wyatts?
I didn't get to see the whole show, if anyone knows where I can stream the entire show for free, let me know.
