Is HHH a biker in real life? I don't really catch interviews with him so I don't know what the dudes hobbies are.

It's always cool to find out what some of these guys and gals are like away from the sport.

i enjoyed wrestlemania for the most part. thought the citrus bowl looked really cool. i don't like that roman retired undertaker, but really the thing that annoyed me the most about it was how lame the ending sequence was. he just looked like he didn't give a gently caress when he ran the ropes and hit the spear, and then he just looked completely bored and checked out when he pinned him and left the ring. like it just took you 5 spears or whatever to beat the god drat undertaker in the main event of wrestlemania and it looked like he was daydreaming about going to the dentist.

HHH and Stephanie McMahon kick off Raw and come out wearing JNCOs and pierced eyebrows! Will the Brain Assassin call out Seth Rollins for a rematch?

Roman Reigns, fresh off his victory over The Undertaker, will take a giant poo poo, LIVE on Monday Night Raw, declaring once and for all that the ring is definitively his yard!

The Hardy Boyz, after an incredible return and victory, will dance their tails off and wear see-through shirts and lead the crowd into a rave remix of the Chicken Dance! Will The Club come out to put a stop to their celebration?

Tonight's Main Event is Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg in an Iron Man Match! Will Goldberg survive Suplex City for 60 minutes?

That's tonight in Orlando, FL! MONDAY! NIGHT! RAW!

I don't blame him for looking checked out. Getting booed for a full half hour by that point, he probably did just want to get the gently caress out of dodge

Dear Jesus and his friends,

Please make Raw actually good tonight. I mean, you can't even spell Raw with an A...which means A-Show. Get it Jesus?

Seriously, this is the time to start fresh and make this poo poo actually good. It's in your hands now.

Signed, me

PS: Some pretty cool debuts or re-debuts would be kinda cool.

also i wonder if there is some objective evidence that roman reigns is as huge of a draw and makes as much money for the company as wwe acts like he does. i mean you can look at network subs and ppv buys and theoretically say "well, roman is the top guy, must all be because of him" but that is just an assumption and as big of a company as wwe is, you would think there might be something more solid than that.

then again that's probably putting way too much faith in a wrestling company, even if it is the biggest one of all time.

I bet there is. I mean, from a standpoint of Top 5 merchandise movers from Full Time performers, who would those be? Y'all going to events lately would probably be able to answer this a little better?

I'd say it goes:

1) Roman
2) New Day
3) ?
4) ?
5) ?

Is Bayley top mercy mover for the women? I'd be curious of some opinions or thoughts here.

According to Meltzer the Raw Bayley main evented had a historic drop off in female viewers. She is only a draw to nerdy old men, who try to justify their love by saying they like that she is a positive role model to young girls or something when there is no evidence that young girls actually like her

Similar to the huge male following for My Little Pony, now that I think about it

I don't know what the gender and age figures for WWE are, but I never really imagined WWE appealing to young girls. When I was in school during the attitude era it was always a boys only thing. Obviously the product has changed a lot since then but it still comes across as something that would only appeal towards young boys. Guessing Bayley could therefore turn off older girls from the product, and she's appealing to a demographic that might not exist.
