Oh dear.

If you caught Raw Monday night...I feel like Cena threw that puck he was carrying at my head. Triple H sure didn't feel any pain from Brock Lesnar breaking his arm. After all, he gets to wear that cool armbrace.

I understand the notion that Big Brock is a jerk and you're not just gonna fall in love with a guy, but it feels counterproductive to have Triple H act like Thor and say that no mere mortal can hurt Thy Game, Brock Lesnarth. Great, you're not really hurt. Again. What a bore.

Meanwhile, Paul Heyman is looking to get some money from Triple H. Wouldn't it be great if Paul Heyman was actually never Brock Lesnar's agent and it's later found out that he was just making it up?

So, Johnny Laurinaitis fires Blubberin' Big Show. This after putting himself in a PPV match with the #1 guy in WWE (after going after his arm). Ratings sinking. The whole mishandling of Brock Lensar. And, the excitement of toilet scum. People have been fired from the kayfabe "Board of Directors" for much less, but Johnny is still riding high.

Although, there's a big problem if half of Raw is seemingly devoted to pumping Big Johnny as a bad guy. Really, really boring stuff. This whole thing rides on whether the fans really accept Big Johnny as a believable heel. The answer has been a resounding no since Johnny's push.

And, really, take a step back...they're pushing Johnny Laurinaitis? Good grief. There has to be another McMahon child out there in the world who could come in.

WWE did nail one aspect at Over the Limit in that it's not John vs. Laurinaitis and Lord Tensai, because nobody was going to dine on that dead turkey. Johnny's boastful mano vs. mano announcement makes me think he's got something up his sleeve, which, ultimately, is what intrigues people in this farce. Will it be Brock Lesnar running in? Will it be Cena's ex-wife? It sure won't be a 500-pound giant you just humiliated and canned in front of billions and billions...right? Derp dee derp.

- Will A.J. mess things up for C.M. Punk and Daniel Bryan? Heck, a love interest between these two indy smucks would get people interested. This PPV match for Punk-Bryan feels like a teaser for bigger and better things, which make make some fans just wait until these guys actually have a storyline. Punk and A.J. would make a cute couple...until she stabs him in the back! Only psycho girls in WWE get over!

- Brodus Clay reminds me of the Clippers's Blake Griffin, except Blake doesn't dunk over a Kia every night. They've extended Brodus's time in the ring, and the result is that fans get restless until they can get funky. I'm on the Brodus Backlash now. I hate seeing guys in extended holdover patterns.

- The real stars of the PPV hype for me have been the Smackdown guys in the Fatal Four-Way match. I genuinely want to see Sheamus and Orton tie it up, and, hey, Jericho and Alberto Del Rio get to tag along.

- The show ended with everyone calling each other a loser. Did we really get anywhere this week? Any big developments? Not really. You can feel the casual fans slip away in droves with every one of these Raws. "You're an loser! This audience is full of losers! What sort of loser buys a PPV starring two toolboxes fighting each other?" You don't have to rub it in, fellas.

That's it for me. Follow Austin Aries on twitter, homies, and you'll be instantly 20 percent cooler.
