This put a bad taste in my mouth for the show. Those guys were busting their asses for an hour, just for it to end like that. They should be mad that happened. It's one of those things that's off-putting for a viewer, too. Like, why promote something like that if there's no payoff to it? An hour's a lot of time to invest and, as you said, it's a long time for talent to be working for. Yup, the end of that match was the moment I started to regret giving the show a chance again after three weeks of not watching. I usually don't get disgusted like that during a show, even when it's shit, but it really left a bad taste in my mouth.

It says a lot about WWE's creative process that a f***ing gauntlet match is now so normalized that they'll use just f***ing because and then end it on a screwy finish.

I knew this match was pointless when it had R-truth get both his full entrance and a promo.....but did I underestimate how pointless it was and then came the ending.

I have been putting watching Raw off purely because I know this match exists. It's not often that I get turned away from bad wrestling, but telling me there's going to be an hour of wrestling with no payoff has got to be the most daunting thing ever.

Are we sure Vince Russo isn't working for WWE again? Because this sounds like such a Russo thing to do. Isn’t Paul Heyman supposed to be some kind of genius? Like all great bookers, time has passed him by. Interestingly, many of the folks who used to chant "fire Russo" in TNA and would use the hashtag "fire Road Dogg" for Smackdown earlier this year are strangely quiet about Paul Heyman's performance.

In their defense, a whole lot of those people aren't watching Raw these days, anyhow.

It did lead to Rey calling Andrade a Motherf***er though
