I absolutely do not get the Asuka/Rhea match hate. It didn't have anything glaringly terrible in and the right person won for the lead in they gave it.

big news from last night is no more Michael Cole on Raw. I wonder if that's why he sounded so poo poo on Sunday, he probably only found out that day

Cole wasn't on Raw, Tom Phillips is the one who got moved. Well, him and Joe.

TNA would have handled the Bray Wyatt gimmick better or at the very least hosed it up in a way that was funnier.

Yes, he was called Abyss.

Little of column A and B. He's got Foley tendencies and did some of the "lights out, appears" stuff too.

I feel like Cena's long been one of the sacred few allowed to say their own stuff. Like I'm given to understand there's a handful of folks for whom WWE doesn't insist on them following scripted promos to the letter (probably Heyman, and when the Rock's on he clearly says what he wants), and Cena probably is one of them because he is a charismatic guy who can talk good.

Cena can say what he wants because what are you gonna do fire him? He says inbounds on promos anyways.

And ok, I don't follow closely enough to actually know the answer to this: what was the big problem with Becky's return? Was it that she pulled the fake-handshake heel bullshit as the crowd was exploding for her, that she threw Bianca's push into an unmarked grave, or 'yes'?

It's hosed to go from Bianca and Sasha having a pretty good Wrestlemania moment that hit the mainstream and garnering an Espy to Becky obliterating her immediately.
