BALOR THE RIPPER!

Also now I believe it when the post WM Raw crowds get credited to the UK contingent.

We have had to endure Seven Nation Army at every sporting event in the US, so we kind of feel you guys on that.

It continues to amaze me that NXT is part of the same company who's main roster women's division is nothing more than "look at these crazy bitches". Seeing the crowd react to Bayley is so awesome and at the same time it makes me sad to think how she's likely to get her spirit crushed on the main roster.

I know the New York team isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I like how they've managed to give them a serious edge with this feud while Enzo still can be completely ridiculous.

Heel Emma is so great, it's hard to imagine this is the same person who was the klutz dancing in bubbles a year ago.

They have about half of 2000 up now, and they seem to be adding 2-3 episodes a day. So 1993 up to then.

It's not as sexy to territory geeks like us, but the recent 2000 Raw dump is nice to see.

Any time the Authority showed any weakness they'd get their heat back with in a show or two. Granted Bryan's deal got cut short so maybe there could have been something else (I doubt it), but the post WM Raw was back to making sure no babyfaces ever get a moment of happiness. Reigns up to TLC was supposed to be the next Cena but he was beat and beat and beat, and made to look like a loser who couldn't get the job done. He was about to be the new generation Lex Luger until someone finally figured out that the big samoan asskicker guy should probably be kicking people's asses. If they keep with the new plan, then great. They need to show they aren't going to go back to turning every Raw into the Debbie Downer Show to make fans feel like idiots for supporting the babyfaces who never have any hope.

Last night was great, I just fear when Hunter comes back it's going to go back to killing Roman at every turn and never letting him get any comeuppance. Vince showed more ass in one night than the Authority did in like two years.

It may get lost in the title change, but I was surprised Roman both bringing up Vince's age and called him an out of touch old man. Not only was it breaking a Vince taboo, it was a great way to manipulate the crowd by having him basically be the voice of internet complaints about the booking.

Amazing that Vince hates managers when he just showed how much one can add to a big match.

Once again it takes Vince to make a new star. Sucks it took almost two years to figure out how to book him but better late than never i suppose.

Ending angle was great, but it was almost like Roman was turning heel by how the announcers were growing increasingly sickened by his actions as the beatdown went on. JBL was almost full Ed Whelen by the end. I'm just hoping that Raw isn't going to be a three hour emasculation-fest, or worse HHH showing up unscathed to open the show.

If Bryan ever comes back, and I'm not sure he'll ever get cleared, it won't be before WM. No way they're going to let their Roman Orgy get derailed 3 years in a row.

Man, their depth issue really is depressing when it's laid out like that. It's even worse when you consider their hard on for Reigns means anyone who might have a chance to spice things up is probably going end up being used as cannon fodder in the Great Roman Push.

I didn't watch all of them (as stated above, a lot of the matches were terrible) but it was definitely better than VHS quality. It was about the same as other stuff from that era like the TNT episodes.

I've never seen a company promote something so wrongly that their future is tied to like this. They do actually want this to succeed, right?

They've spent more time advertising the gift cards than anything they ever put on the network other than the monthly PPVs.

So is the tater tots promo worse than the magic beanstalk one? I've been going back and forth on that one in my brain.

Don't forget his deep, near pathological hate of women. That was the giveaway he was back in TNA when the women suddenly started hating each other and calling everyone bitches. The biggest unsolved mystery is who was the girl who broke his heart in high school and caused all this to happen.

Even in the context of Savage's storyline (and real life) possessiveness, Hogan was always putting himself in situations he should have known would stoke Randy's anger. After a while he's like the idiot who keeps poking a bear with a stick then is surprised when he gets mauled.

I'm kind of concerned the uploading of classic stuff suddenly came to a halt. I wasn't expecting them to keep the same pace, but there's been nothing since the initial burst.

The weird thing is they do it with NXT people on Breaking Ground. People discuss their characters/gimmicks in a way that clearly shows there's a difference between their real and TV personas without it being overt. Does it destroy the business to show Carmella speaking in her normal voice in one segment and her exaggerated Noo Yawk gimmick voice the next? Of course not. i bet Vince would probably shit a brick if a main roster person did it though.

Does Maria have heat with the Bellas still? It seems like she might be more interested in following whatever career path she went to college for instead of going back to WWE, and I have a feeling Bennett would get lost in the shuffle on his own. Also ever since someone mentioned Elgin looks like one of the pig nosed people from the "Eye of the Beholder" Twilight Zone episode, it's all I can see now.
