Loved Roode saying that he was from "Glorious" instead of his actual home town of Toronto to keep the heel heat. Really good match between the two

Carly Caruso must be the new Renee Young for NXT based on the pre show. Ooof that is definitely a downgrade.

Joey Styles was still stuck in that ECW/Attitude Era style of announcing. And I guarantee you that if he did that joke in ECW or one of the hardcore company likes CZW or IWA Mid South that comment wouldn't have caused any issues because those companies is appealing to men who like blood and an edgy style. Believe me if this was WWF in 1999-2002 there would have been 2 or 3 pussy jokes on RAW tonight because that is what Vince and Kevin Dunn thought would get over. Even if you took away the fact that he deliberately disobeyed him so he can gloat about guy winning the election, Gabe is trying to appeal to ALL wrestling fans and whether people want to admit it there is a growing fan population of women. If you ignore the comment and let Styles continue like nothing happened you will have plenty of explaining to do

Well if we are to believe certain people, the build is toward Charlotte vs Dana Brooke. So she has to get the title eventually. Now I would wish that the person to break the PPV streak would be Bayley but it wouldn't surprise if they save it for Dana. The only problem with the finish is that we have been fed for years that some wild table/chair spot has to occur. Now maybe they were hoping that the table would break when Sasha was thrown on it like a rag doll. Personally seeing her land on those tables looking more painful than Rollins finish.

I will give them credit they are really treating this Hell in the Cell match about how scary it could be. Most wrestlers have treated the match as nothing but a regular cage match. They looked legit nervous

Wow that finish just screamed, we are running out of ideas to keep the New Day champions until they break Demolition's title reign. How many more days do we have? Yeah really worried on how they will make this a main event worthy match. Not really interested in seeing an often injured 100 pounder fall 20-30 feet off a cage

It isn't helping that they are feeding this constant dose of video game references that were obviously written by someone who last played games about 5 years ago. This crowd is not interested in this match one bit. And it isn't just TJP they don't care for Kendrick either by the "fucking hippie" line Yep they made Perkins look like a complete schmuck. At the end of the line of for him probably forever

I can live with the women's match being the main event but no idea why you are putting this title match before matches like the New Day and TJ Perkins/Kendrick. I mean this idea that fans need to be cooled down after a big match and can't handle two big matches in a row is just dumb

Gallows & Anderson should win the match but man if this means we are getting more New Day vs Gallows & Anderson matches then I wish it was a no contest. Assuming that New Day wins again and they keep pushing the number of days thing So Charlotte vs Sasha is definitely the main event. Man I worry what crazy shit they are going to do to justify that

I am interested in TJ Perkins vs Kendrick because I really want to see what they are actually planning after watching RAW. I mean Kendrick basically begged for the finger poke of doom because he has to win and doesn't think he can. Really hope this isn't booked to make TJP look like a complete sucker. I would be fine Kendrick winning the belt if it leads to a feud with Rich Swann

If Sasha vs Charlotte is the main event then I expect we won't see Triple H involved in the Owens vs Rollins match. I definitely figure Jericho will be involved I hope they aren't trying to use Nia in the Mark Henry role of the person breaking open the cage door with her hands. She hasn't really done anything to make you think she is any stronger than someone like Dana Brooke except that she is bigger

Worse than it being a 4 hour show is that it is actually a 5 hour show because of the pre-show stuff. The show length itself isn't the problem because the older WWF shows were close to 4 hours long but it was fine because there was only 3 or 4 shows a year. When you have two shows every 6 weeks a 5 hour show is too fucking much.

Another thing from Alvarez (taking it with grains and grains of salt) is that Kevin Dunn hates Becky Lynch's accent and will make her talk less and less because of it. If that is true then why the hell would you bring her up. You can't Americanize that kind of accent. She doesn't fit the mold to make her like Tamina or Nia Jax. Also if that is true, then lets make sure that Nakamura and Asuka goes to Smackdown.

I joined up but I was wondering if there a way to save these shows?

I don't see it having much of a future but there is a channel on Roku called "RASSLIN' that features lots of classic wrestling footage. I am guessing that the creator is just pulling stuff from YouTube and putting it up there because the quality isn't the best. About half of what I saw was stuff that the WWE has rights to like clips from old AWA PPV's and the country whipping match with Von Erichs vs Freebirds. But it is fun to watch when your bored. I saw an old Kangaroos tag title match and a Southwest TV shows from I think 1983

Wow are they really trying to de-value Bayley in the effort of putting over Dana Brooke. No idea what Triple H sees in Dana because it seems like everything she learned in NXT evaporated. Unless Neville is going to be in the cruiserweight division like Sin Cara, he has no future on RAW Oh god no are they booking Sami Zayn vs Braun Strowman now.

I think Eric Young is much better talker than the current version of Bray Wyatt. But it is pretty much a push in terms of talent. The biggest problem with Sanity is that the best wrestler in the group is the woman Nikki Cross. Guys like Sawyer Fulton has never been interesting to me except that he is big.

I figure he will be given the benefit of the doubt by the fans. but I don't think he is going to get the Sting kind of reaction where they accept him regardless. If Brock vs Goldberg is a really bad match I figure that Brock isn't the one who is going to get the blame for it. To me the most interesting part of this match is the backstage stuff of the two trying to set up the match. I mean if Brock wasn't going to do shit for Dean Ambrose at Wrestlemania I can only guess the level of cooperation for Goldberg. I know he wanted to have this match for his kids but Goldberg hasn't backed down before and I can't see him now.

Great to see Luke Harper back and putting him on Smackdown with Bray and maybe Rowan makes sense.

You missed the good stuff. They also booked the main event before intermission. Hell you could argue they booked the main event on the pre-show but anyway This has been a strong match but it needs to be pick up the violence

Well I must say I can't remember a babyface getting such a lukewarm reaction to a match where the career is on the line. Not that the Miz is the face because the crowd hates him too.

So I guess we are going to get some kind of goofy exploding TV kind of finish. I mean why else would you make that the main event

But they seemed fine with the decision.

I mean it was good that Styles get the belt but it seemed like the just invented a way to figure out 3 way finishes and treating it like a great ref decision. I mean under this, shouldn't the 3 way match with Dana vs Sasha vs Bayley have continued during the double pin. Now I would like for this to be the standard but something tells me it won't a couple months from now

Man if that gets Curt Hawkins over then the entire Smackdown booking team should be running all of the WWE, ROH, and TNA. Trying to make him a big deal when he has never been one is going to be a chore
