Feet up at home.
I keep up with it as best I can to engage with my son about it. Reigns needs to be an Austin type figure - cause havock the forced babyface will never work.

Reigns is great.
Still remember when they tried to make him Cena lite with the Sufferin Succotash promo. Ugh.

Well the virtual fan thing sadly could be going. One clown played a nazi video and the other had a Chris Benoit mask. Don’t think advertisers or broadcasters will be happy with that. Shame really.

Was always going to happen sadly. Surely they’ve got some details of these people who have signed up and will have somebody monitoring the fans.. Although I don’t know what punishment you could hand out for that type of thing

Speaking of executions, I see Vince has already got his hands on Keith Lee.
Yikes. Whats with the new entrance music. And the new attire?
I think Vince is doing this on purpose just to fck with HHH and the fans.

Watched wrestling after a long time and am super happy Roman is back. I hope his character justifies his t shirt, just wreck havoc and leave. That's what he needs to do.

Oh my! Horrendous.

What is the attire?! My first thoughts were that Vince had said that he's not ripped enough so to cover up.

And the music.... :lol:

I saw somewhere that they played his old music by mistake?! Hopefully thats the case, but I don't ever remember him having that music even in his early NXT days.

I don’t get they Bayley Sasha story (I absolutely accidentally initially called Sasha Sancho at first :lol:), how did Bayley not getting smashed by Asuka’s arse mean she wasn’t willing to take a hit? Especially when she still distracted her and got smashed off the side of the ring?

Feel like the writers can do so much better than that :lol:

NXT was okay. Not as good as any other takeover but still passable. Hard to keep up that standard without a crowd. McAfee was surprisingly good.

Summerslam was okay. Not really memorable but key in the Sasha/Bayley story. Nice to see Ross Gellar back.

Raw was awful. Just looked like everyone was hungover from the most tame party of the summer. Highlight (?) is this awful angle they got going with Nia Jax and Shayna. Just what was any of that?

And they changed Keith lees attire and music. The attire I don't care too much about but his music?! To that generic shit?!

Sigh.

You should enjoy it, Keith Lee is getting his 2-3 week push before Vince forgets about him

2-3 sounds generous
I was being optimistic. Ali's return was like 1 week before making him seem like a nobody right? I think Lee might get the 3 weeks because he's already had the survivor series buildup and hes fairly big. If he lasts more than 3 weeks in the upper midcard I bet he'll have become a generic WWE big guy though. The new attire and theme are just phase 1.

If he shows up on Raw Underground hes done for. Either that or cos hes big, they will turn him heel, then turn him into a dancer.

Alis return was a joke. From returning on Raw and winning, then next week losing straight away, then the week after not beingon Raw but being on Main Event (and losing on Main Event)?

According to Meltzer Sonya Deville has had another person threatening to take over from the previous stalker. Is it just me that thinks its so weird that shes been targetted so much by creepy males? She likes women, shes never going to recipricate. I know I'm looking for logic from people with fecked up minds but still.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. Don't try and look for logic with these psychopaths.

It's likely some absolute weapon who heard the news and thought it was funny or whatever and is now trolling her. Absolutely vile and should be punished appropriately. What an awful thing for somebody to have to go through.

Shayna got brought up to Raw and was destroying everyone in her path, now she's turning soft and doesn't even hit Nia back after being attacked.
Also I don't like Dolph Ziggler but he looked like he was dominating Lashley in the underground match, Lashley's specialty

I wonder if Becky's pregnancy derailed their plans for Shayna a little bit? I'm probably giving WWE too much credit there though, as she could be back to just destroying people now, not siding with Nia.

I still think her not winning at Mania was baffling.

Her not winning the Rumble was even crazier.

Saw keith lee here and there in nxt but raw was the first time where I got to see him do a promo and I really like the way he is on mic. The man can talk. Hopefully Vince doesn't do a vince and turns him into a brodus clay.

PWI ranked Moxley as number 1 this year. This is a kayfabe list, meaning whoever the champs are of major promotions will be around the top as obviously they are considered the strongest of their companies.

Roman with Heyman... Could be really good.

I fully expect Roman to turn on him within a week

Sami Zayn is so bloody great.

If they ran with him (and his injury is fine) in this character he could be a top heel.

Very intruiged with Heyman and Reigns too. Could be great.

So it seems wwe are booking roman as a top heel in SD. I don't mind that, although not too convinced of his alliance with Heyman. Roman is a good talker so why does he need heyman to get heat.

I seriously hope they don't turn him into a cowardly heel who just runs away. Fiend being a baby face would be interesting, maybe they are expecting undertaker like feel but then no one can replace taker.

There’s been an number of wrestlers who in my opinion could be the ‘next undertaker’. Bray certainly could be, and I think Nakamura could have been (in the sense of the entrance that was awesome, didnt need to talk much, had that something special about them).

No doubt they ruin the fiend even more and he drops the belt soon.

He literally came in out of nowhere, beat the shit out of both Braun and the fiend, essentially putting them on notice, wearing a wreck everyone and leave tshirt. Don't see how they could possibly go down the road of reigns being a chicken shit heel.

An interesting piece from Braun. Showing that these kind of thoughts dont care who you are or what kind of privilidged position you are perceived to have, mental health is still something to be concerned about and needs to be taken care of. The WWE system was one of the reasons he got to that point, but also about how talking to Vince was the key to getting into a better state of mind. So the good and bad of WWE, and the good and bad of Vince - for all his faults, he can also have very important moments like these.
