Another great fiend appearance on RAW... for what actually was a decent RAW overall.

I would love a full on horror angle with Bray... they should have it where there's a bunch of 24/7 geeks running after the title in the ring say around 5 or 6 of them, the lights go out and one by one they got dragged out of the ring and laid out, with full on horror lighting / sound effects and what not... think they could do a great job of it.

Fiend's segment again worked great and what made it even better is Jerry lawler acknowledging the fear and running away from the ring. These small things make a huge difference. Maybe now I would have the fearfly episode air for a week or two before the fiend again appears. One step at a time WWE.

Hate the fact that Gallows and Anderson lost their title. Seth Rollins crazy push without any substance is starting to get irritating now. He is making Roman Reigns push look less irritating. WWE needs a strong heel and AJ and his buddies can become one. WWE needs to show some trust and patience. Poor booking I would say.

Quite like it when WWE use real life material but somethings go a bit too far in to the bad taste area. The Boss telling Nattie to go to hell and say hi to her daddy doesn’t feel right. Seems similar to when Paige used Charlottes brothers suicide/overdose (can’t recall what it was) in a promo to say her family is weak or something.

Could watch Alexa vs Mandy Rose all day long. The Fiend sucks, I really don’t see what it is all you lot are loving about it. Maybe it’s just my standard reaction to anything Bray does knowing it will go nowhere and he’ll spend a lot of time doing stupid promos and popping up places but rarely ever wrestling.

And F*ck Seth Rollins. Think I’d rather relive the Roman push and Brock holding the title than watch him “not burn it down” every week.

Balor better join The OC even if it is a stupid name.

They'll win them back within a month.

They're basically just props for this feud between Seth and Braun - which is annoying... but WWE loves to use their tag titles in that way.

I think they should have a triple threat match between AJ, Seth and Braun where winner takes all or maybe have the first fall for US title and second for Universal title. I wouldn't mind AJ or Braun winning the Universal Title.

They might actually do something like that... and then Seth will win the US title too :lol:

Random aside, there's been some great selling for finishers yesterday and last week... off the top of my head there was Cedric's for the Claymore, Dolph and Buddy Murphy for the Spear, and Kofi for the RKO...

Murphy's probably going to sell the shit out of Bryans running knee tonight.

So NXT on USA network and 2 hours confirmed. Damn.

AEW has Vince shook. And its on the USA network, of course Vince is getting involved with it. Damn shame, the 1 hour a week was perfect. Cant wait for Shane to open up shows

And for WWE to think it's good stuff and to keep doing it to stick it to the smarks.

Looks like Raw finished with Gallows and Anderson getting buried to push Strowman vs. Rollins. If that's the level of storytelling that they're going for with NXT, let's just say it was fun whilst it lasted.

"watched Raw" for first time in ages. I say watched but fwded quite a bit. Was decent but nothing great.

Seth is fine. Im glad they have a champion who is winning. They didnt need to give him tag title, but thats the thing they do when people feud for the top title and I hate it. remember Batista and Cena going through that as well. Good Bros will win the titles back soon, as there will be problems between Seth/Braun and thus set up their match. Ugh.

Beckys promo was good. Them using Sasha to say 'go to hell and say hi to your dad' ugh. They still do that shit. Agree with @Andersons Dietician on that.

Fiend is great. They need to have Bray and his funhouse segments and Bray acting scared of the Fiend and what its doing. (Kinda like how Corporate Kane acted like he wasnt Demon Kane).

KOTR could be great, but then again its WWE, so it could be great until the final. Expecting a heel to win though.

Might as well have him beat Becky for the woman’s title. Why stop at just the Universal, tag and American title. Make him king of the ring as well.
By the way, was he still favoring his ribs or did they miraculously recover after finishing the Brock story?

My ribs are still hurting after cringing so hard through his shitty promo the other week.

Nah they are still bandaged. Not really sure what a bandage would do for your ribs anyway.

Imagine how proud Dusty Rhodes would be if he were still alive right now. We're coming into a new dawn, era of wrestling which is largely influenced by him, one way or another. What a legend.

Another baby face in KO booked like an idiot. It would have been much better for story line purpose had he lost to Shane and made their life a living hell every other SD. What is the point of their feud to continue now. Wasting everyone's time.

As long as WWE keep on relying on past greats to give them rating boosts they cannot improve their product. It is called lazy booking. Hey we need ratings let us call austin or hogan.

Dean Ambrose is out injured for all out, so it’s now PAC V Omega
Is this an issue with the fact their wrestlers wrestle for other promotions? All that build up for that. Would have liked PAC return to be a bit of surprise.

Anyone else find evil Sasha Banks ridiculously hot?

The bank statement is still probably the most stupid submission on the roster but I’m feeling the new attitude and look. But that finisher just hurts my brain at how stupid it is.

Thought her promo was shite. She's supposed to be "The Boss" but she sounds so nervous. Four months away and the best they could give her was "Grr, I didn't even care about the tag titles and Becky made more money than me."

She is hot though. But not hotter than this...

Ricochet, Ali, Cedric Alexander, Gable, Balor minus Demon all look the same. Zero personality just flip flopping. I just cannot get behind these guys.

I was hoping they let Drew win the King of the Ring but to have him lose like that hardly make much sense. Also having Owens lose to Elias didn't make much sense. If they really wanted KO to be the next AUstin he should have gone and win the whole damn thing in spite of Shane's interference. Missed chance there. Looking at the participants left, I hope Andrade wins the KOTR. If booked correctly he can a top top heel and a future champion. If anything I would have him be the one to beat Kofi for the title and let him keep the title till Mania before having a babyface take the title from him at Mania.

I can't see past Corbin winning. Corbin vs Ali in the final.

I watched Owens on that SD. He was made to look like a total chump. It just made no sense. He didnt look like a badass, but a wimp.

Absolutely. A babyface being outsmarted by an authority figure is the dumbest shit you will see. How do you expect fans to get behind that character, in fact it made him look like a certified idiot.

:lol: He’s incredible. Also the face I make when I see a friend out shopping or something.

On the King of the ring thing I was kinda hoping Drew would win it since KO is out but I’m thinking somehow someone will get injured and there will be a KO vs Drew match to see who replaces someone. Probably Ricochet. KO wins but has to do back to back matches then fight Elias again.

That would be awesome, but doubt Austin to put over any younger talent. Has he ever put someone over.
Not that I can remember.. which would make it all the more shocking. But I have no faith it’ll actually happen.

Austin put over Angle back in 2001 and The Rock on his way out. Thing with Austin is that he was basically the biggest star in the industry then retired.

It would be awesome to have the fiend choke him out though.

Imagine if Shane stepped in again to replace whoever got injured and won it like before. The best in the world and king at the same time.
