C.S.

Yeah, these were basically two lame duck shows because the Superstar Shake-Up is coming up, so I'm kind of surprised they were so well-liked here. They were fine, I guess, but they didn't blow me away like they seemed to blow many of you away. Raw After Mania used to be so much more of a "happening" than it was this year.

Since Kenny Omega was brought up randomly, any idea WTF all of this is?

Judging crowd reaction, cheers, boos, etc. by the fans at the post-Mania Smarklay's Center shows is kind of pointless though. You're not going to get an accurate read from that audience. They've done this shit year after year - the wave, the beach balls, etc. - and have unfortunately been conditioned to think it's part of the experience. WWE should put its foot down and boot all of those assholes out of the building. Otherwise, I agree with @SomethingSavage that "workrate" and "movez" don't, never have, and never will mean nearly as much as character and storyline. Never fucking ever!

I'd love a Kofi-Sami feud, with Sami eventually winning the World Title.

Return of Emma and someone else? Probably wishful thinking.

In one title defense, The Iiconics have been more interesting than Sasha and Bayley's entire reign.

I can get behind Braun vs. Joe. Feels like a genuinely fresh match-up.

Drew vs. Kofi after the Superstar Shake-up?

The issue seems to be with Alexa Bliss though, so how could it be something only Sasha saw? Now I feel like I'm missing part of the story. Was something else reported that I'm not aware of?

Okay, but don't you think it's safe to assume that Alexa is not gonna be all "YEAH!!!!!!" about some creepy wrestler flopping his junk at the women?

If all of that is true, Sasha's maturity issues are the main reason why she hasn't gone further in the company IMO. I would also push Alexa way ahead of Sasha - even though Sasha is obviously better in the ring - because Alexa "gets it" in every other aspect.

True, but the Bar hasn't meant anything since doing "the time-honored traditional, PAL," for Nicholas at WM34.

Or maybe tonight.

That was anticlimactic. Kofi and Seth vs. JobBar tomorrow?

So, who interferes? Drew?

Dana's problem is that she's clearly trying to memorize a really poorly-written speech, and you can see the process of her attempting to recall her lines as she's cutting her promo.

Well, Baron's thing was more railing against the ROH-type wrestlers and fans. Sami's gimmick is different IMO.

Nah, Sami's gimmick seems to be railing against the Twitter and message board geek fans (present company excepted, of course, lol) for being too critical and thinking they're more important than they are. He's not entirely wrong, you know.

WTF is Sami going on about? LOL. This is some great trolling.

Pet peeve: I hate it when a returning wrestler loses his first match back. Yeah, it was a title match and will probably lead to another, but still...

If he loses and gets elevated to the main event picture, it could work. (Not that I really want that, but he never did get a real shot at it after that heartbreaking injury, so fair is only fair...)

Corrected that for ya...

MOJO DeNIRO!

We don't, but the shirt is similar to the ones Bray has worn.

Because nobody cares about either of these makeshift teams. They're all better off as singles.
