This Big Show interview is awesome.

I'm psyched for Big Show vs Henry!

I thought Show promo before the match was hilariously bad. But that was a perfectly good match with greatness after the bell. Henry is awesome.

the way the announcers keep talking about the Authority losing at Survivor Series it certainly seems like the opposite is going to happen. Rusev is probably going to be the last member

The main problem is this: how can they make Main Event feel important when they can't make ANYTHING feel important?

 

Remember last week when Mark Henry turned on Big Show...well we've built that up for 7 whole days....time for a match!

uh oh blood

I thought that ending was incredibly effective. The crowd actually gave a shit.

Like I mentioned on twitter, I actually started to care about Orton for once and now he'll be gone a while. Hopefully he can keep it going when he comes back. I'm with Will, that ending was well done. I thought Raw overall was pretty well done and nowhere near as bad as twitter makes it seem.

what was with Steph and Hunter mumbling and talking carny to each other on camera? Going over spots? What was that?

 

eh looks like they were pissed off over the blood

I liked that RAW. No complaints, really.

Hell, the blood added to the severity of the beatdown. Wrestling needs blood.

It certainly seems they are serious about Rollins as a top guy. The pessimist in my wrestling fan brain is saying this is being done solely so he can be fed to Reigns

no doubt now that Hunter will replace Orton on the team

 

so it looks to be Rollins/Kane/Hunter/Henry/Rusev v Cena/Ziggler/Show/Sheamus/Orton?

Cena/Ziggler/Usos/Orton?

 

I was hoping for Rey to make the save for Orton.

Rusev vs. Sheamus was amazing. It is right up there as one of my WWE MOTYCs.

Good match, better angle. Rusev finally gets the US title which is the perfect prop for him. Sheamus and him busted their asses in that match.

Would they schedule a filming break for Orton so that he could be on SS?

The US Title is now by far the most meaningful title regularly on TV.

if Orton can't work it will probably be Ryback on the face team. Rey would be awesome though

I have to imagine that Lawler got an earful from Vince for acknowledging that Rusev is actually from Bulgaria.

They've handled that in such a weird way. He's still the Bulgarian Brute from time to time. They say he's now living in/from Russia, but it's pretty much impossible to ignore that he's Bulgarian seeing as how he has a tattoo of the outline of Bulgaria on his arm filled in with the Bulgarian flag.

Rusev is now a surefire lock for Top 3 for my Wrestler of the Year ballot

I wouldn't go that far. He had some fun PPV matches but this is the first one that broke out into great territory.

Survivor Series elimination stips seem to never be enforced. Does anyone actually believe that Hunter and Steph will be gone? Survivor Series 01 had Steph gone for about a month and 03 had Austin gone for a week or two. Probably missing a few others
