I'M APPARENTLY GAY AND MY POSTING SUCKS.
All the promo's went on too long.
-Bray sang too long, then it felt like 5 minutes passed as Bray laughed with the kid on his lap.
-Paul Heyman backstage assuring Cesaro made a good decision aligning with him, despite being a liar... what?
-Hugh Jackman segment started out good, then it kept going with Magneto trying to super power grab the mic.
-John's backstage promo was just plain stupid and shouldn't have been aired at all.
-The Brie / Bryan backstage segment ending was hilarious calling Steph a bitch, but it was stupid to have Brie shiver like that for 5 minutes before hand.
-Lana's stupid "accent" was too annoying to listen to as she said something about the Bulgarian bare footed fatty.

I sort of agree on the Bray thing, but I don't think it hurt it overall. I completely disagree on the X-Men stuff, I thought it started off kind of weak and then got great when Sandow came out.

Three hours is just so loving long, ugh. I usually start an hour late on dvr and fast forward a lot of poo poo. For some reason, I thought watching it strait through from the start was a good idea. I'll never do that again.

The secret is doing something else while watching. I was messing around in FFXIV while watching Raw.

I pretty much do the same. I do a lot of work from home in the evenings so half-paying attention to midcard matches with no build isn't difficult, and then when the show gets my attention, cool. I generally still watch all the good matches and every segment that doesn't make me want to drill a hole in my brain due to all the fremdschamen. Yeah, I used it in a sentence. What.

Wierd rear end RAW, in hind sight only liked the opening and the Usos/Rybaxel match.

Also guys, hey guys, you like RVD right guys, RVD is cool, let's add him to the Cesaro/Swagger feud, that would be cool right guys... guys?

Also John Cena just saw a bunch of children follow a crazy cult leader... better talk about Bray riding home on a donkey!

The opening promo was cool and I liked that Cena teased a "YOU PEOPLE" promo. And then I felt like Raw went off a cliff and I slept through the rest.

You know, I'd be less worried about my 16 year old daughter dating a successful 40 year old cartoonist than dating a 16 year old loser.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.
I really liked the Barret vs. Sheamus match. If that was in the middle of a Wrestlemania, I wouldn't be disappointed.

They also had that storyline where Michelle McCool and Layla called Mickie James fat for a couple months.

My only gripe with the opening bit is that anything that organically pops up with the crowd has to be run into the loving ground for the next month. Surprised they didn't have Lawler stand up and tell everyone to sing.

Raw was pretty entertaining. I loved the Wyatt segment and I get some kind of odd enjoyment out of watching horror movie monster Kane. For whatever reason Shield/Evolution isn't clicking with me as much as I want it to, but that match will likely own so whatever.

More importantly, where the heck are all the stipulations for Extreme Rules? I thought every match was supposed to have an "extreme" stip?

Some matches can just be no DQ with no extra stip ya know.

So far the extreme matches are El Torito/Hornswoggle (TLC) and I guess Cena/Wyatt (Cage match).

Fun Raw. Nothing fantastic aside from the opening, which I loved, but a solid show. I'm quite looking forward to Extreme Rules. The build, though not perfect, has been pretty drat good for a B-show and most of the matches have at least had solid attempts at build thus far.

I guess. I want to see the SHIELD, Bray, BNB, and Bryan matches. Not sure if it has been said here but Cesaro vs Swagger vs RVD has been confirmed, which honestly I would have prefered a stip added to another Cesaro/Swagger match as apposed to RVD being added.

Although I just thought now they could do a spot where RVD attempts to do a 5-star splash onto Swagger only for Cesaro to intercept with an uppercut, that I'd like to see.

I really don't like the Cesaro as a heel you're supposed to support thing. All his offense is the type of poo poo people love to cheer for, he was totally primed to be a breakout babyface after winning the battle royal and turning on Zeb. They've over thought this and made it too complicated when the simple method would have been the best, now people are just loving confused. It doesn't help that all of Heyman's promos are 99% about Brock and then "Oh yeah, I manage Cesaro too."

They probably intended to make him a babyface full on, and then they stopped and looked and went "oh wait WE HAVE NO loving HEELS"

Cena trying to be The Rock is the worst because The Rock is incredibly dated and really only worked in that period of time plus Cena doesn't have the natural charisma to pull it off. But A+ to the children's choir, Magneto, and Kane getting a wrench to the face. Was having a really lovely day and needed the laugh.

It's probably a coincidence, but I like how Bryan attacking Kane sort of mirrors one of Kane's earliest appearances where Ahmed Johnson showed up and smashed Kane's head with a wrench. It was the first time Kane was ever really knocked down and he still sat up seconds later.
