I have no desire to watch Raw and I skipped watching the Presidential debate.

Instead, I drank alcohol, watched a bit of the football game, and then played the new Battlefront Death Star DLC. I feel like it was a Monday night well spent.

debate owned, cheeto man reached china syndrome levels of meltdown

Even by the standards of Raw being badly booked the best of 7 leading to a Sheamus/Cesaro tag team is an absolutely remarkable non-ending.

you know i can't really explain why but i'm actually okay with how this has played out

if it was a best of five do you think it might have worked better? 7 was probably too much and i'm not sure if the story could be compressed into 3

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.

shame your friend thoroughly

if roman and steph disappeared from this plane of existence raw would probably be able to compete with smackdown for the title of 2nd best show

People say it's hard to buy Roman as a good guy, but Rollins is a spoiled dweeb who is mad that his gravy train ran out. All he's missing is an Elvis jump suit and a Duck's rear end.

good thing they brought him back as a heel just in time for roman to get suspended and gently caress everything up

I'm not one of those guys who said it woulda made sense or been good for him to return as a face, but if he was gonna be anyway he probably should have. Right now he's kinda a dick but his match with Triple H will probably be hot and I'll enjoy it.

the weirdest thing was that 'documentary' they released right before he came back, i think making him still be heel was a vince decision five minutes before the show started

Looking forward to SmackDown beating RAW in the ratings this week

speaking of it, is there a reason why RAW gets or has hourly breakdowns but smackdown is always just one number?

i mean if you drink/drug the steph and roman segments away then raw is pretty decent

Vince is, by all accounts, heavily involved in both Raw and SD, guys. I think it's time to look for alternative explanations for the discrepancy in quality than "Vince is an insane old man who ruins everything." Like maybe the writers have more influence over the shows than we thought.

I thought the explanation was that the head writer for NXT wrote Smackdown now.

Just like every other time, this will probably end in disappointment. Corgan will probably find the money and TNA will continue to keep going.

corgan said he's not giving them another dime unless he owns the company and he also wants to change the name

I like how Ziggler's gonna get like 10 rematches but Zack Ryder couldn't get a single one. When you're whining more than the Woo Woo Woo guy, it's kinda hard to be excited for when you finally get your win.

what was even the point of giving it to ryder, didn't he drop it to miz the very next night? despite miz being in the ladder match at wrestlemania?
