I wish if not WWE, every other wrestling company to try and do this, giving wrestlers employee benefits and health insurance might make them want to stay even. Though I suppose the problem is that doing so would bankrupt these companies with the costs to give all the workers a fair share. I don't know I'm not an accountant so can someone explain to me if I'm off base in thinking this?

I imagine employee insurance for a wrestling company would be a nightmare. Apparently insurance companies that cover movie stuntmen will monitor scripts and send loss control people to the set -- there probably isn't any wrestling company that wants to have to clear all their spots through an underwriter first.

I want to know what the Bray match was supposed to be before they cut it short or whatever. Hell, I still want to know what their plan was with him absorbing Kane and Taker's powers. My interest level in him never gets to rise above "man I wonder where this was supposed to go before they chickened out."

Did The Rock show up again to wank himself off in ring for 20+ minutes?

It was short on talking segments in general, really. Kind of surprising.

Also several times I felt like JR was totally unenthused and off his game and I had to stop and remind myself that there's a pretty loving good reason for that. :smith:

Yeah, having to call a Roman match can take it out of anyone.

Am I right in thinking there were no backstage segments last night? It was just match--Network ad--match--VT--match--that Pitbull oval office--match, the whole night?

There was a weird threadbare feeling to the presentation all night. That sounds crazy when talking about a huge show in a stadium with fireworks and an 80-yard LCD ramp, but like you said it was just a series of matches without any real showmanship in between. Even the entrances were kinda simple compared to Bray's scarecrows or live theme performances. Triple H's entrance felt like a last minute "oh poo poo we forgot to get a costume for Halloween" throw-together compared to rising out of the floor with severed Terminator heads.

Also someone needs to go time it because I'm pretty sure New Day actually talked more in previous shows than the Wrestlemania where they hosted the whole thing.

Only thing that can save tonight's Raw is if a Roman heel turn is acknowledged from the opening moment. Otherwise, they can throw a dozen major debuts at the wall and none of them would stick for me.

Only thing that can save Raw is if Roman comes out wearing Taker's hat and says "hey look at this cool hat I found" in his dumb smarm voice

He doesn't inherit the Undertaker gimmick, he just goes around wearing the hat like an rear end in a top hat
