Why even dress as the Demon in this match

These Secondary PPVs feel as big as the Big 4 PPVs at least on the Raw side.

Shane referring to Paul Bearer as Percy made me pop

If its a houseshow what's the harm just dont put him in a title Match. They need to tape these themed house shows and put them on the Network not just MSG or Japan. Let the guys let loose like your typical house show where they aren't pressed for time

Even if he loses clean to Brock he'll still have more steam than anyone else and have as mush credibility than anyone not named Roman or Cena, if Vince wasn't in the mode of blowing his load on dream matches on Secondary PPVs and the TVs he would be featured a lot Better in the long term, its not like he's going to be going for fighting for the main title then going for the secondary like AJ and Dean Ambrose which shows weekness in booking. Unless He's programmed with Balor or Miz for weeks he is OK.

He deserves Credit for making the Brooke Hogan angle, He was really really good he was the glue to the whole Ace & 8's thing that whole period was the last time I commited my self to watching TNA week to week. That was a career run for him , I wish he got to be Bully Ray in WWE but I dont think they wouldve let him be him the way he was here

Yes Braun, is a face and not just because of people being anti-Roman, I believe in the beginning he was being pushed to eventually be fodder to Reigns as Champ but luckily he's gotten more time to develop and increasingly get over to the point that he isn't just another token monster.

So I guess that proves the bar for "how much unprofessional shit will a company put up with if you're good in the ring" is somewhere between him and HBK. It weird how so many wrestling fans are management shills. Low-Ki would rather control his own fate then go along with whatever dumb shit his employer wants. He values autonomy more then being a widget in a mostly shitty machine, I think that is admirable. Ki can go back to doing cool shit in AAW and JAPW, and I am sure he is happy doing that. I agree he's been in and out of that company a handful of times now so the should know how he is. He seemed to really enjoy the BDC run but you cant just expect him to be aligned with his friends and book him as the token cruiserweight. He's watched his peers like Danielson, Punk and even Joe become one of the top guys in WWE at some point so why should he be stuck in the X division. I wish he was a current regular in NJPW or even gotten a run in NXT

2008 wasn't too bad the women's tag division was good in the beginning

I like it too, they dont seem to really still be up with what's going on even outside of WWE and they dont down play there wrestling nerddome. And they dont shy away from there opinion on current guys work

They turned the wrong one heel

Sasha spent 3 years in NXT before she got called up, I dont think Nia Jax spent 9 months on NXT tv before he got called up. Did Strowman even have a match on NXT tv before he got called up. WWE appearently believe they call make a star out of anybody at any level of experience if they have a certain look they want at that particular time. Drew is way better overall than he was in 2012 even though he was very good then, Its not like he was getting a Roman Reign like push in 09, Maybe if he did , He might have but the Indy Run helped alot. Imagine how much better other guys with no outside WWE experience would be. Its a shame Lashley and Masters havent gotten another run. Its unfair that a guy like Lashley spent weeks in OVW got put on WWE tv wasnt ready for his push they gave up on him and other political shit happened he left and got better in TNA of all places.

Mark Henry was on MVPs podcast he said he gave Neville the suggestion on turning heel and working like a heel, its been best for him so far. I hope Enzo can at least come out of his program with Neville a lot less clumsy in the ring.

I know Gabe was burned out by then but I really enjoyed that time in ROH and Steen and Zayn was a big reason Why. Both guys went from World/Universal Champs to being stuck with nothing overnight.

He's a heel who gets cheered Cena showed up as a "surprise" by Kurt Angle. Roman confronted him and it looked like they might have a match. Then Miz & friends came out. Cena challenged Miz, Dallas, Axel to a 3 on 2 match against him and Roman. Miz declined Then Joe came out because he wants to get his hands on both Reigns and Cena, and said forget The Miztourage, he'll be Miz's partner. Miz liked this. Then Joe attacked Cena, got the Clutch on, and got Superman punched to the outside. It all made sense. Hope they dont do a throw away Cena vs Joe or Reigns VS Cena both could headline a PPV. The Raw main event picture has been looking strong since the shake up , I glad Joe has been able to build credibility in Main Event scene on Raw.

Not watching Raw but why is Joe teaming with Miz. Thought he was a face.

After the way they've treated him, how could he not feel that way? He's really damn good, and they've not done squat with him. Although, who knows. Maybe he doesn't want to walk away from the money. Not everybody is a Ryback, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger. There is no shame in his staying if that is the best way to make a living. I guess it all depends which is more important to him, money or professional success. True, But Rusev still has way more steam even at this point than those guys when they got released, of those guys Cody is putting in the most work and its paying off. Rusev could easily get on with NJPW or ROH and his twitter keeps him over. Yes Im sure he's making good money but After McIntyre and Mahal left and got called back, I believe that at this point alot of disgruntled employees would rather leave and get a buzz and trying to get called back or just get over in NJPW. Even Bryan has made it known that thats what he wants to do if his body allows

Damn that doesn't sound good. The way it was a routine check and the fact he was in ICU didn't add up to me. I hope this ends well for ric. He's my favourite wrestler of all time. It's not altogether uncommon, especially in older people, for a fairly routine hospital visit to become more serious once they start running tests and find something. That's what happened to my uncle, he went in for a routine test and they found late-stage cancer. Same with my Dad, last October but he beat it with a strict diet herbs and Cannabis oil

This episode really makes me want to check out some mid 90's AAA, I'm not that familiar with Lucha but Rey and Psychosis were two of my favorites in WCW. Pullman was a big part of the WWF becoming more Attitude but if he had stayed at least a 9 more months it would've been nice to see him and Benoit team up.I'm sure he wouldve exited WCW after NWO came in and Benoit probably would've left too. WCW section of these mid 90s shows make me think how much better off WCW wouldve been if Hogan hadn't come in or if he'd left before mid 98.

He was one of my Favorites when I got into Puro in '03, Ohno reminds me of him now with his currently look which is why I dont see the problem with his weight gain

I dont think Charlotte was a flop as a face, she just hasnt been featured as the main women of SD like she was on RAW on NXT and on top of that they're testing out people like Carmella and Lena with pushes which is affecting the flow of the division, I really feel sorry for Noami because she's had the belt for a minute but she hasnt had the time to really have good one on one matches with Becky and Flair. Raws women division is nice right now so as long as they dont have Sasha and Charlotte on the same brand.

Because all 4 guys a intertwind in an angle and not guy thrown together to fill a card or lack of creative which is the case 95% of the time, As long as Joe doesnt take the fall to Brock here they can go back to those two

If Balor was in Joe's Role shit, would be different, If Joe comes out of SS looking relatively strong they might have another CM Punk, When he's motivated he is boss

Batista wouldve continued to be the top guy except on Raw like Cena was. If Cena did go to TNA , he would have atleast gotten a run as a top guy, especially by the time Cornette came in. Honestly I see WWE eventually hiring him back like the did Masters and Cryme Tyme even though he probably wouldnt have been pushed so hard the second time around.

That fact that Bret was a big part of WWF turning thing back around business wise by being the hue draw in Canada is never brought up, I was loving the US vs Canada angle when the ran those towns, The fact that WCW didnt use Bret properly to take over from WWF is crazy. Its even more crazy is that Vince Russo was going to be the guy to finally really give Bret a fair run as one of the top guys before he got hurt. The only reason I wish Owen had jumped with Bret after Montreal in hindsight is to avoid the whole Over the Edge accident
