Embarrassing performance. This team has no strengths this year. Worst Ravens team I can remember in a long time.

Started the season with an inexcusably poor WR corps. Offensive line has been under-performing. Secondary isn't as solid as we thought it'd be. I wish the front office learned from the mistakes of the past. This team was held back for so many of Flacco's early years by a poor WR corps, and when we got in Boldin and Torrey we won a SB. Then we let them go in back to back years and now we're 1-3. Not sure what they expected to happen.

Key emphasis on "with any sense". I certainly never thought Brown and Aiken were good enough.

Flacco put it all together in the end and his receivers just let him down. Disgraceful and extremely predictable. Everyone with any sense said during the offseason the receiver corps wasn't good enough.

Now we can't stop the run all of a sudden. Sigh.

O-Line getting manhandled and no receiver separation. Didn't expect the first but expected the second, which makes the first that much more problematic.

Well throw out everything I reckon as CM Punk has quit. Some initial reports seem to suggest WWE was planning on moving Daniel Bryan into a match against Triple H, leaving Punk without a main event opponent. Can't blame Punk for being upset about this, as after having arguably the best match of 2013 against Brock Lesnar at Summerslam, WWE had been using him in feuds against midcarders (Axel and The Shield). I suspected there would be a light at the end of the tunnel for Punk, with him either winning the Rumble and the title at WM, or wrestling Triple H, but with both options extinguished that would've left him with someone like Kane as a Wrestlemania opponent. Far from an attractive option given Punk's status, talent, and his already diminished role in the company over the last 7 months. He's said himself he has enough money for the rest of his life, so without a new goal set for WM to provide incentive for him, leaving WWE would be a sensible move from his perspective, especially given the fact he hasn't really had a chance to rest his body since he began his career. As a huge Punk fan this is very disappointing. I have no interest in Batista, Randy Orton, or John Cena. I like Daniel Bryan but not to the extent I'm a fan of Punk's. I'll probably watch Elimination Chamber as it's usually a solid show irrespective of storylines, but unless there are major changes to the direction I can't see myself being at all interested in Wrestlemania.

Possible spoilers regarding the road to wrestlemania depending on what you define as a spoiler: Word is that Batista's contract guaranteed he would win the Rumble and the WWE title at Wrestlemania. Due to the huge backlash to Bryan not even being in the Rumble, it is being considered that we will get a triple threat at WM between the Elimination Chamber winner, Batista, and Daniel Bryan, which Batista would win, leading us into Extreme Rules in Daniel Bryan's home state of Washington, where Bryan would likely win the title. Take with a grain of salt of course, but I can see this being the case. Personally I wanted CM Punk to win the Rumble with Bryan working a program with Triple H for WM, but it looks like Punk will be filling that role instead, most likely facing Kane at Elimination Chamber, which would then lead into Punk/Trips for WM. Before the Rumble, my ideal WM card would have been: CM Punk vs Brock Lesnar © - WWE Title John Cena vs The Undertaker Daniel Bryan vs Triple H Randy Orton vs Batista (dont actually care about this, but I dont want them in the other matches and it works story-wise) The Shield vs The Wyatts (looks like we actually will get this, perhaps at EC, depending if Cena/Wyatt lasts until WM) I could have lived with swapping Punk and Bryan as a second option, but as it stands the current direction isn't interesting me too much.

Truly a magnum opus promo by CM Punk last night. Best promo in the WWE since his MITB worked shoot. This build is already better than the entirety of the Cena/Rock build.

He was never televised on either NXT TV show, and I don't believe he ever competed for NXT's brand (I could be wrong on this, but it's irrelevant as live shows are not distributed). I'm pretty sure WWE viewed Ambrose as more of a special project they didn't want to expose, so they kept him to WWE dark matches following FCW's transformation into NXT. He's definitely been portrayed as the "general" of the group, in promos and in the TLC match and attack segment on last week's Raw.

Dean Ambrose was never in any incarnation of NXT.

Ambrose is a great talker and wrestler so I don't really care what happens to the other two guys as long as the real star gets pushed.

He's just as "done" as he was after WM28. In other words that post-match segment did nothing for me. Decent match though.

Cena cashed in on Raw 1000 and won by DQ so he loses the case and didn't win the title. I could see Ziggler losing to Jericho at SS and cashing in at the end of the night to be honest.

The CEO mocking Jim Ross' bells palsy is fine but make a Kobe Bryant joke and you've crossed the line. Gotta love the WWE.
