By the way...where the f*** is The Rock for this show? Knowing that he needs to STAY THE F*** AWAY from Vince McMahon and WWE so he can run for President in 2020. Candidate Dwayne Johnson doesn't need questions about Vince McMahon bailing out Jimmy Snuka. |

My cousin hasn't watched wrestling since WCW died, so I talked him into watching tonight. Just got a text saying, "Stone Cold was cool, then a lot of bad happened." I think that's a complete accurate review.

While i'm tired of heel champions, I think having Finn turn heel with the Club and take the title off Shinsuke is the right move Finn is back on the right path and having him vs Shinsuke in a proper feud would be damn good Balor would also fit better on SDL than Raw. He's also got the company behind him so all they'd have to do is send him to SDL and start a takeover and see what happens. Right. I think they would have eventually done a Seth/Finn rematch as I predicted Seth going to SD as well but the Dean injury sort of puts a wrench into that unless you send all 3 of those guys to SD which I can't see happening In Kayfabe, trading all 3 for AJ (Plus the Club)would make sense but that's a lot of power for Raw to lose |

In all my years here this was the first time I have participated in one of the live threads and despite being an hour behind and the show itself sucking I had a f***ing blast joining in.
But it's 5 AM so I'm out.
Peace.

Or the questions about employees or independent contractors. Call me crazy but I think it's a matter of time that the wwe gets exposed by metoo. Dwayne Johnson apparently trademarked "Rock the Vote." There's some serious planning going on. |

How many times can a company give its fanbase, the ones responsible and who they can not exist without, the finger and screw them over?

I normally come here to try to counter act negative posts. But that episode really disappointed me. I think something we are guilty of though is creating this wild scenarios in our head of cool stuff that could happen. For instance, even though I knew it was unlikely I really wanted CM Punk to be a surprise. And he wasn’t so I’m a little bummed - even though that’s silly. That said the whole thing felt a little off. For me I didn't even really have big expectations. This was my first full Raw in a really long time and I only watched it out of vague curiosity that something big would happen but my expectations were pretty low to begin with. Even with low expectations though, a phenomenal amount of nothing took place on this show. They brought in all these all-time greats and the ones that actually got to do character work were guys like APA and Godfather? It's hard to really conjure up any image of what kind of cool things could take place on this show because WWE doesn't really have any hot angles or stars to mix up with the legends. There wasn't really a hot feud for Christian to liven up with a Peep Show, what they did had a decent start but then Christian disappeared and it became like any other Raw segment. No one really for Steve Austin to cut promos with, could've had Trish Stratus trade jabs with Alexa Bliss or something I suppose, that could've been something. I feel like they failed on all fronts here, they failed as a nostalgia show, failed as a go-home show, really wasted the cool environment in the Manhattan Center which is something they can't get back. I enjoyed watching the show just because I find it amusing sometimes the way they can't do anything but sit on their hands all the time but this was not good. |

The Revival will be fine long term Raw doesn't really have a Tag Division if you think Sheamus is going to slow down in ring soon while Seth won't be in the tag division much longer either At Worst you have the Hardys next year(Broken Version) and maybe Usos to compete with on Raw or they put Gable and Jordan back together |

Nothing will put him out of business. Jesse Ventura in his rf shoot interview said that as governor he tried to get congress to investigate the wwe but nobody cared because it's such a fringe aspect of entertainment almost a side freak show. |

Over on the Nitro anniversary special, Vince Russo pinned Glacier for the WCW Women's Championship, then immediately handed it to Disco Inferno. All 3 of them were in drag, not a single actual woman has shown up on tv.

They used to say “anything can happen” but now it’s so calculated and soulless-I can’t imagine anyone that has been around for 20 years having much fun now

The Revival will be fine long term Raw doesn't really have a Tag Division if you think Sheamus is going to slow down in ring soon while Seth won't be in the tag division much longer either At Worst you have the Hardys next year(Broken Version) and maybe Usos to compete with on Raw or they put Gable and Jordan back together I'd say yeah the Revival is good right now and more than that they can always rely on Slater and Rhyno if needed. Usos is a great pick though, they're the ones who need to go back to Raw. Might as well. Jordan I think he'll eventually be a single's star. We'll see what happens. |

It went okay for me. Wish we could've gotten a Holy S--- type return though like Punk or AJ.

Jason Jordan has been great since they started building him to a heel turn He's got the geeky character down packed and his mannerisms and mic skills have been spot on His improvements should not go unnoticed and it seems he's on the same course as when Kurt debut in the company which could mean great things for him |
