In non-dick related news, I think either Orton or Sheamus is going to screw Bryan out of his win at Fastlane. Orton makes sense to get revenge for WM last year, and Sheamus makes sense since he was supposedly Bryan's original plan last year.

Up until recently I thought that they might still pull the "Brie is going along with it until she can steal the title out from under Nikki" thing but for every feud Nikki's had so far they've had Brie eat a bunch of pins in the matches leading up to the pay-per-view so if that was actually the case that would be really terrible and dumb

So I'm still not ruling it out

Yeah, great at getting us into Wawa.
1. Mercury and Noble must realize by now they're going to wrestle a few times a month. Why don't they get actual ring gear?
2. So does Sting have music for his entrance, or is he going to come out at WrestleMania to wing flapping and crow squawks?
3. Reigns ended up looking pretty lovely last night - he gets wrongly pissed at Bryan for the miscommunication in the first match, and gets quickly KO'd by Big Show in the second, before doing the heelish pin steal. He also should have had tons of protection, but it was painfully clear he only has a few moves.
4. Overall, Raw wasn't bad, but I had the luxury of starting at 9:30, and fast fowarding through most of it.

The live audience is so weird these days. Audiences are mostly behind Bryan, but then boo him sometimes. The crowd mostly boos Roman, but also cheers him sometimes. Generally people are just quiet though.

I really hope the Road to Wrestlemania gets good after Fastlane, because this is the worst build in a while so far.

Orton will probably go against Seth.

They showed a lot of crowd shots last night where like a third of people attending are cheering and moving, and the other 2/3rds are just standing there doing nothing.

Why go to a wrestling show if you're not going to ... do something?

My gut tells me Ryback, Ziggler, and Rowan vs Rollins, Kane, and Big Show either at Fastlane (where Orton can cost Rollins the match to setup a Mania match), or the six-man at Mania itself.

The easiest thing to do is wildly cheer and then venomously boo every single act on the show so they can edit out the reaction they don't want.

When Heyman was making GBS threads on Bryan, the crowd really sounded to me like a mix of "YES YES YES" and "NO NO NO" chants simultaneously. It was weird and I'm not sure if I was just mishearing or something.

I only started watching again at the Rumble but it's pretty clear that Bryan isn't actually as over with regular fans as people here pretend.

Raw was really boring at best and total dogshit at worst. The Sting thing would've been cool if it was just crow noises and then the message on the tron. The fake Sting looked like a 90s grunge band reject and Triple H way oversold it. Reigns tweening is an interesting direction though. Hopefully they just go all in and make him a heel because the markier crowds are apparently too dumb to understand a face vs face feud and are confused about who to cheer for.

The mainstream media has picked up the Seth story, but at the moment they only have the leaking of the developmental lass pics. The Times, Guardian, Independent and all the tabloids in the UK have got a story on their sites.

While Heyman did put DB down, I liked that he brought up his heart and wrestling knowledge to give that little nudge like "yeah, this dude isn't the biggest or strongest, but he'll still find a way to gently caress your poo poo up and isn't to be taken lightly". At least that's what I got from it, and if anyone can put DB over as a somewhat credible threat to Brock, it's definitely Heyman. Tie that in with him being on fire since his return and never being beat for the WWE title, and there's a believable uncertainty about whether DB could beat Brock for the belt.
