I'm guessing that they are booking Cesaro like a loving chump so Paul Heyman will eventually drop him, setting him off on his babyface run, but the crowd is completely :geno: about him now. They missed the opportunity of a lifetime by not turning him after his star making moment at WM30.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

WWE has a magical ability to make no one care about anyone. Sometimes it just takes a bit.

That uh...was a really weird Paige promo there ripped from the past with little to no context.

Are they shipping Paige back to NXT without even giving her an actual match against AJ?

It was her "I'm the NXT Women's Champ" promo.

To be fair, I haven't been watching a lot of the network so they could have been airing that thing for months after she became Divas champ.

Wrong. He's not getting Cesaro over, he's actively making me not want to watch Cesaro.

Don't worry now we get to watch him lose as well! That'll fix it!

That Raw was weird, with Vince & HBK doing all the commentary via Green Screen. Did they do that a lot back in the day when dubbing over commentary?

Maybe he used to be fat? Those stretch marks don't go away even after getting in shape.

What the gently caress is that ending to Clash of Champions '92? Spin the Wheel Saloon? Jake the Snake in WCW? Horrible acting from Sting? Bonus points for it coming on at 4:30 in the morning.

And now King of the Ring '97. Ahmed Johnson vs Hunter. Maybe I'm still asleep and this has all been a weird dream.

GAB '95 actually wasn't terrible considering how bad WCW could be in 1995. A really rare good main event, too.

GAB 2000 is on now, and I do not expect great things.
