UltimoDragonQuest posted:Raw and Smackdown are not on the network until 30 days after airing. I guess I get why they don't simulcast, but it doesn't make any sense to me not to have it up at least a day or two later. I mean, the storyline will move forward by the end of the week, so even a one-week delay would still protect their first-run revenue. But I'm not a professional business person.

If you have the channel on cable (or borrow someone else's cable login), USA Network has a good-quality live stream (though it tends to lag 10-20 seconds behind the TV feed). It is unfortunate, but WWE needs all the money they can get from networks, at this point.

Because they already had prior streaming deals with Hulu for Raw and Smackdown. Once those are up, maybe we'll get them on the Network sooner. Or they'll keep those deals going for the revenue they get.

I'm honestly amazed that WWE gets the money they do from networks considering they're actively telling the audience to ignore the commercials and watch stuff ON THE APP.

Me and the girlfriend had a good time. Ziggler deserved some fame after all the times he's been beaten down. Seeing Sting on the show was a treat. Mizdow and the Rabbit should be the tag team to beat. Just saying.

I like the fact that when they brought Sting in they did some real Monday Night Wars era main event overbooking but knocked it out of the loving park.

That was beautiful man, hot drat. A perfectly booked main event, we didn't get Cena being the super jesus, we got Dolph having his Daniel Bryan moment kinda, so well done. And STING, that could not have been done better. Even little things like Rusev still not being pinned or submitted and how they did that, and the hot crowd, the goods have been delivered. Not only am I not disappointed this month, I'm pleased!

Luke Harper has some awesome expressions. He didn't even look scared of Rowan so much as "I'm proud of you, boy."

People in this very thread were calling this, literally, the worst PPV of all time. Not only was it not that but it's probably in the top 3 of best PPVs this year. Best PPV since Summerslam at least.

I did not like anything on the show outside of the main event. That doesn't make it the worst PPV of all time, but it does make it a weak show overall. If it wasn't for Sting showing up, I'd have probably put it at the same level as Battleground.

I was less miffed about the match quality than the filler bullshit before the main. The tag match was really fun. The divas elimination match was botchy but entertaining. The Bray-Dean match was really good. It was the long, lovely Raw opening and the horrible pacing that dragged things down.

Until the dumb ending, I loved Bray/Ambrose. Just kicking the poo poo out of each other with chokeslams onto stairs and lariats and hosed up flying elbows. TLC will be cool.

The Diva match had Summer Rae screaming in terror whenever anyone was about to hit her, then sneaking in, kicking people in the back and laughing. She was pretty much female Tully Blanchard. Also the announcers seemed to be having one of their rare genuine moments cracking up at Alicia's chicken spot and dropping references to Adam Bomb.

Yeah, It really seems like the commentary while not great, was at least having some fun, and it wasn't like someone was constantly yelling into their ears to repeat this line over and over again.

Jokes aside, JBL's call of Sting coming down was perfect. "The WCW champ! The icon! THE FRANCHISE!" was a nice callback to WCW, only thing that was missing was "THIS! IS! STIIIIIIIIIIIIIING"

Cole saying the line "Vince McMahon is a genius" had me cracking up because I imagine Vince feeding it to Cole. Also, Paige isn't very nice to her teammates and I enjoyed the show.
