Getting word from the Holiday Inn the Smackdown Live Crew is staying at that D-Bry and Shane McMahon held an emergency meeting in the lobby to give a pep talk to the roster. Kane and Orton were fired up, I'm told.
 
Maybe Roman time's over... Maybe I'm nothing but a big, fat piece of shit...

I imagine any kayfabe or non-kayfabe meeting between Shane/Bryan and the Smackdown roster revolved around them saying something along the lines of "Well crap. Raw stole our ideas of being the wrestling show."

Not that it will ever happen, but if Sami ever turns heel, I don't want him to have a new theme. Just take his old theme and slow it down, as though it was the 80s, you had a cassette player and you only half-pressed the play button.

I'm playing my first real SMT game (4 on 3ds) and I feel like I've accidentally bought some variant of handheld porn game where I just get robbed/verbally abused by demons until I start sobbing. It's pretty great.
 
When they announced that title name I laughed my ass off because that was straight out of my old late 90s/very early 2000s e-fed and probably a thousand others.



Outside a couple things that was probably the best Raw in years and hey! Enhancement matches! Do wish they had Nia do more beating down though, I her to be more of a sadist with commentary begging the ref to just stop the match. Every time Sasha goes for a dive I'm in fear that she's about to kill herself.
 
Maybe years is a bit of a stretch but most everything felt like a step up from where things have been for a long time. Even commentary wasn't completely unbearable.
 
So I hear Raw was good?

That is the worst name for a title though.

Raw was very good, though (don't read if you don't want to be spoiled)
they hot shotted the women's title feud. Sasha already being the champ going into the inevitable summerslam rematch doesn't have the same pull. But then they've already been awful at booking what should have been a natural feud so I'm not surprised.

I already caught the spoilers, appreciate the discretion though :p I can't be too mad about Sasha getting that big win in a long match, especially in a world of 3 hour Raws, moments can just be moments, they don't need to be on "PPV".

Eligibility to challenge for the Universal Championship should be open to any cast member of any NBC/Universal program.

Finn Balor vs. Fin Tutuola, book it.

Instant pushes are lame anyway.. Pushes Finn to the moon before you even know how he's gonna work on RAW, before he ever had a single promo.. lol That's so random and desperate. That's how you thx Owens and Zayn for the match they had yesterday..

You got the NXT champions who debuts right into a many years midcard hell and you got the ones who debuts with a summerslam maint event title match, possibly win... -__-

Roman Reigns eating all those clean pins, holy shit

Balor pinning him is so fucking awesome.

Does this mean Samoa Joe is the top guy in the whole company?
 
Holy shit Raw good so far. Good, smart 10 minute promo to open. Quickly into a match that turns out good despite being a fatal 4 way. Balor over as FUCK with the crowd. Balor actually doing more moves in this one match than I'd seen him do all year in NXT. Then when Cole forgets to call out moves Graves chimes in like a pro.

I'm shocked right now. After the draft last week my expectations were low as fuck.

Joe is doing good things.

Pushing Finn early is a brave move, but I see no reason for it not to happen. Get him out there, show he's a good wrestler, take it from there. Him vs Rollins should be great.

And long term we already know Finn makes a good heel.

Man the politics of that main event must be insane. It's Vince's boy vs Hunter's boy.

Why did neither of them pick a dude that can cut a consistent promo?

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
what the flying fuck at Raw?

Balor not only debuted BUT he lookd like a million bucks from what Im hearing, and he pinned Reigns clean, AND he's facing Rollins for the title at SS?

Rollins vs Balor? is this real life?
 
So yeah, Lapsed Fan is definitely not for me. Don't need 3 hours of their shitty fans emailing in about the chick they railed 10 years ago, which diva they wanted to do playboy most, and yearning for the era of sexism, followed by 4 hours of the hosts in hysterics over their "jokes". Sorry dudes. Don't get it.
