Boredom is always counter-revolutionary. Always.
You can talk about Styles and Nakamura all you want, but for me the most surreal WWE moment this year is seeing Drew Gulak and Lince Dorado on RAW.

Every time I see Steph on screen I can't help but think "Batista was right" as once again she tears into a talent who cowels beneath her gaze with no hint of her getting repercussions ever.

cesaro sheamus at clash of champions should have ended with them going for like 45 minutes and ending up rolling around in the ring until it devolves into a make out session and they are tag team partners in life and wrestling. I think

Does Cesaro actually need the tape or is it just like D-Lo's chest protector now?

Thought Raw was pretty good. Outside of the lethargic first 1/2-3/4 of the opener all the wrestling was good, and there was a lot of it. Jericho was on fire in the Highlight Reel segment. Skipped every segment with Steph in it as usual. Regardless of how they got there I think I will enjoy Cesaro and Sheamus as the wacky tag team that learn to love each other, though I'm not looking forward to seeing them lose to The New Day a dozen times.

That tape hasn't been proven to actually do anything but athletes wear it anyway.

Are you kidding? This is WWE. Of course New Day are finally going to drop the titles to two single wrestlers for an angle, and not an actual team!

Cesaro is actually five hundred years old and if you take the tape off he would dissolve into dust the second Sheamus's sweaty gross body touched him

I don't usually get mad at crowds for chanting cm punk, but why were they chanting it at a fun entertaining match and not Rusev vs Roman.

I didn't watch Raw but they probably didn't give the crowd a reason to care about the match. Sounds like they just threw two guys out there and told them to have a match.

I'm also fine with the idea of a Sheamus and Cesaro tag team but the best of 7 ending being a tie is hilarious and stupid because they have a serious problem with parity booking. Of course they book a best of 7 50/50.

I feel like Cesaro has gotta be turning for this team. Bait and switch on a series of matches where the result looked to be a World Title Shot, and also he's now facing New Day who are biggest faces in the division.

I watched about 10 minutes in total of the three hour Raw and that was enough for me.

My friend watched it all though and said he really loved the bit where Steph had a go at Foley.

Drew had built up a fairly big reputation for himself on the indies but I agree. Still surreal.

But then he might have been yelled at by Steph again

I wonder if the art of verbally berating all your talent into submission is another chapter in her book

That's something no other authority figure has been able to fully understand. The reason Vince worked as one was because at the end of the day you were going to see him get brutalized by someone. Vince was always willing to take an extreme amount of punishment. If he bladed he was going to blade harder than anyone else in the company. Vince pissed his pants on national tv. Steph getting an accidental spear from Roman is nothing, but at the same time no one knows if she is a face or heel anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.

Exactly, Austin vs McMahon worked because it was the common man overcoming his evil boss. But modern day Stephanie is just a unstoppable evil force that shits all over everyone regardless of any real consistent logic. The only person to ever stand up to her was Brie Bella and she loving lost the feud.

You'd think they would be able to learn from their past to make an effective female authority heel people hate for the right reasons, but then again Triple H is staying off TV while the ratings are poo poo like Hulk Hogan used to do, and that never worked out, so I guess the fact that no one seems to remember anything that happened a year ago isn't a Kayfabe thing.
