I am still shocked - Put in main event/HIAC of a PPV for the first time ever - In Sasha's hometown - Super special entrances - Tons of time and spots (a combination of both good, bad and risky spots) - Purposefully book massive hope return spot for Sasha, in essence going off how Foley/Taker went - Do 1 finisher, no kickout or at least a little build up of nearfalls/final stretch - Fans were waiting for Sasha to win, due to all those points above believing she will get the heroes victory finally overcoming her biggest rival for good I just don't understand it, at all Again ![https://media.giphy.com/media/YxzhNhoKpbwqY/giphy.gif](https://media.giphy.com/media/YxzhNhoKpbwqY/giphy.gif)

Yeah Raw Talk is straight trash. It's basically that Post-PPV thing they did before the brand split happened with the "talk" in it's name so people compare it to Talkin Smack. It sucks. Booker is awful. Talking Smack works wonderfully with Renee and Bryan chemistry. Renee, Booker, Lita, King have no chemistry. I`m not watching but 4 PEOPLE!? That sounds like a mess,another reason Talking Smack works is because most of the focus is on THE PEOPLE TALKING. And Bryan and Renee are just there to play from. How the f*** would it work with 4 people?

Booker has weird charisma that works in ring but not in the hot take perspective. He should be coaching in Florida. He runs his own school anyway so it will be hand and hand.

This is trash because it's not leading up to anything. With Bryan against the heels, it led to him setting up matches and causing problems for them. Booker doing it just...I mean what? He's not getting back in the ring.
I don't get it.

Okay I might me biased but I really enjoy Booker's odd lines of questioning and making messes of interviews.

It's 50/50 booking at it's finest. If you want it to be a big match, go the final stretch, it's that simple. Have all the bells and whistles you want but just make sure to stick the landing that compliments the supposed big match feel they were obviously trying so desperately for. NXT gets it right, especially at Takeovers, when it comes to big fight feels and the use of finishers and their kickouts

Question: do Roman, Rusev, Owens, Seth, Charlotte, Sasha sell the effects of the cell tomorrow on Raw?
Owens and Rusev are normally good at post-PPV selling, so I'd place money on them.

He's not getting back in the ring. I don't get it. Booker's doing a great job... This is a discussion show.. It's building character.. Do you really want Mick there yelling randomly and fumbling his lines? lol

On Sasha/Charlotte:
I liked the energy at first in with them just going at each other non-stop trying to tear each other apart. But then they severed that nice pacing halfway through and just started standing around a bunch of times, as if they were thinking of something to do or trying to remember what the next spot was.
The first table spot, I'm not sure was supposed to happen there. Even if it Sasha was supposed to just shove her off the apron, that's not really that impressive ( considering they were teasing the Superplex to the outside as the move ) of a table bump.
The other table spots? Again I'm not sure was supposed to happen. One thing is for sure, they need to gimmick the table better for the ladies than import Japanese bamboo tables
Also they teased going on top of the cell and never delivered. And while I know it's safer for them not to (and i'm not suggesting they throw each other off of the thing) but let's be honest, that would have been a sight to see.
The finish...well I do like someone getting frustrated that they couldn't put someone through the table how that could work in a match it ultimately lead to nothing. (Because as most pointed out, it probably wasn't supposed to end like that).
Overall, I enjoyed it a lot but the things that brought it down, REALLY brought it down and prevented it from being memorable match for me personally.
