This felt like a bad episode of WCW Nitro. Down to hyping a big main event, only to not deliver for the sake of a swerve. And your top babyface getting clowned for no good reason. All it needed was 100% more Surge. |

I passed on the show but sounds like Vince’s fingerprints all over it with the all the random crap and things that sound like they were rewritten on the fly.
Vinny Mac is back doing Vinny Mac things baby!

the post Wrestlemania Raw is supposed to be memorable this was terrible. I'd say it was plenty memorable, unfortunately for just how terrible it was. |

- Promo between Rey and Austin - Meh - Rey v Austin - Meh - Pearce/Priest segment - Meh - Owens/Zayn promo - 1 thumb up - Owens/Zayn v Street Profits - 2 thumbs up - Rollins promo - 2 thumbs up - Strap this guy up already  - Lashley v Ali - Meh - Reigns promo - Meh - Hint of Belair v Ripley - 1 thumb up - Morgan v Rodriguez v Damage CTRL - 1 thumb up - Riddle return - Meh, not the same without Randy - Riddle/Miz segment - 1 thumb up mostly due to Miz tbh - BLT promo - 1 thumb up - Lesnar turning on Rhodes - 1 thumb down - so predictable - Elias v Omos - 2 thumbs down - HHH's segment - 2 thumbs down Other - Proboards going off on me was a bit frustrating since I was hoping to have some fun on the boards at least, still at least I got the like last 20 minutes or so. Hopefully it'll be just fine for the NXT thread and tonight's was just a glitch in the matrix. My overall score for the show was a 4 out of 10 I'd say. |

Denise Salcedo on the Fightful stream saying that the live, in-person crowd got progressively quieter as the show went on. Not surprised.
She didn't hold back any criticism, which says a lot considering she was on the NXT panel this weekend. Glad to hear her honest opinion.
When the normally super enthusiastic DENISE sounds disappointed, something's definitely up.

There are people who are diehard Roman fans and such who I have seen visibly disappointed or outright pissed at how the last 48 hours have gone. |

When the normally super enthusiastic DENISE sounds disappointed, something's definitely up. I think the thing to remember to is that Mania is presented as a spectacle. So even if fans were disappointed, everything seems like a big deal with the presentation. Once you get back to the norm? The shine of being it being Mania just isn't there anymore. And yeah, Denise is one whose always very impartial (which is a reason she gets the chances with NXT and is going to be on Busted Open) so for her to show such disappointment is saying something |

Like, I'm one of those and aside from that I DO want things to get better, I DO want to stay optimistic, but this is bewildering to me on so many levels. And unless it comes out that any of the talent involved had a say in making this mess, I won't be blaming them. I'm gonna blame whoever the booker was and I couldn't tell you with any honesty who it is anymore. |

I'm gonna blame whoever the booker was and I couldn't tell you with any honesty who it is anymore. To take blame away from booking in a devil's advocate's way and put blame on talent relations, I do semi wonder if WWE had more situations with what happened to Kyle O'Riley, Cesaro/Claudio and Adam Cole where someone dropped the ball, contracts are coming up, and the dollar numbers are not close. This is somewhat of me spitballing in the moment because even for WWE so many people seem to be treading water. |

Yeah I'm not shocked at all by this. When I saw Vince make an "In the weeds" comment it's almost a tell that he's meddling more than he's letting on I will not be shocked if we see people start to leave with this merger becoming official, and Vince back in prominent power On another note, I also can't help but think "Poor William Regal" in ALL of this lol |

Especially considering he said THE EXACT SAME THING when Heyman and Bischoff were put in charge of Raw and SD. And we all know what happened in both of those cases. |

OK, I'm honestly not enjoying myself, so I'm out. Enjoy the rest of the show, peeps. This has... just not been great so far This match should be good and all but god I am over the Profits as a team... This felt even weaker than last year's Raw after Mania. And that show was pretty bad. I try to give WWE a chance every Mania season, but this is why I end up tuning out, just really poor shows that don't grab my attention. |
