Strummer

looks like they've changed plans and Miz is going to feud with Dolph instead of Sheamus. Sheamus has to be ecstatic about that

Sid received the biggest pop I've heard live at a house show in summer of 96. Not even close and I've attended shows with Rock and Steve Austin on them during the attitude era. Sid was nothing special when you saw him on TV but in person he had this strange charisma that people gravitated towards. On this particular show they had him come back out of the backstage because his reaction was so huge

Andy Richter was an Observer subscriber and used to read the issues during rehearsals on Late Night with Conan. Don't know if he's still a fan

It will be interesting how Steph/Brie is booked. Steph has not worked a "real" match in 11 years but is no doubt in better shape now than when she was in her 20s. You could argue that with the months and months of this build up (if you count the Bryan stuff) Brie should kill her in short order. I don't think they go that route and have a 7-8 minute match and hope Steph can bring the heat with her heeling. In the back of my mind I think they might turn .Nikki heel to help Steph win

I was terrified of Barbarian and Warlord when I saw them live in 1989

fantastic promo by Heyman

it just hit me that the deal with Hunter and Steph reminded me of Ed Herrmann and Goldie Hawn from "Overboard"

man Triple H going all "married guy" there was freakin great

Lol Hunter staying at the show!!!

Of course Brie drops the charges if Steph agrees to the match at Summerslam

"Get Jerry on the phone"

This angle was going fine without this

Well they are doing an arrest angle

And Cesaro officially no longer a Heyman guy. They couldn't have handled that worse. No formal split. Just announcing it backstage

Dolph almost singlehandely got the crowd fired up in that match. He's still over despite the horrible booking

Biggest pop of the show so far was when .steph mentioned Bryan. He's still the most over guy and hasn't been on the show in 2 months

Man does Jericho look old in the face. The plastic surgery made him look worse

Stephanie is kind of in the right here. Brie willingly quit and fans aren't allowed to jump the barricade. Also wouldnt it make more sense for Nikkii to wrestle Steph at .Summerslam for Brie's job?

Cena will not be on Raw tonight as he's already flown to NY to shoot scenes for "Trainwreck". Brock is scheduled to appear

She's also really overloaded on the fake bake since she returned.

I think pushing RAW back to 2 hours would help a lot. At least things would seem a bit fresher

so Summerslam will most likely be Cena/Lesnar Orton/Reigns Ambrose/Rollins Wyatt/Jericho Steph/Brie Rusev/Swagger Miz/Sheamus Paige/AJ probably a tig title defense lots and lots of directionless midcarders

throwing in Cena/lesnar and Brie/Steph Summerslam will basically be a bunch of rematches or continuations from this show. Nothing was really blown off (I guess Wyatts/Usos) Orton/Reigns doesn't really feel like a big match at all

show is getting killed online. Probably most hated show since the disasters last fall. Only a three week build to Summerslam

What terrible booking
