WWE should have REAL SEASONS and not 'seasons' like they currently have. A season requires a break or at least some time of majority seperation to know we are going into a new period. Sure we can all assume that:

 

Rumble to WM is Season one.

Season two is everything after Mania- SummerSlam.

Season three is Post Summerslam to the end of they year.

 

WWE wants to do everything to get the company to be considered a normal TV series, so why such the hard avoidance of having actual seasons?

I almost ended up going tonight. It would have been my first show since 03 or 04, but it wasn't in the cards. Let's see if I regret not going.

Bray-Jericho in a cage competing with Calvin Johnson making circus catches is a blowout. Of course, I'm that guy who will be watching Bray-Jericho in a cage.

Well I sure wasn't expecting to see Zayn/Neville vs Kidd/Breeze on Raw tonight.

Pretty good NXT match on RAW. Kind of hurt that the crowd wasn't all that interesting in the match. But at least the commentators actually took the match seriously which is shocking for that trio

 

Unfortunately I am sure some old "legends" will tell us the match sucked because they didn't slow it down or sell anything

Very glad KENTA is keeping his name. Maybe there's a difference between KENTA and Kenta for copyright purposes?

It's probably far more likely they see zero chance of KENTA going to TNA or GFW (if that exists) at any point. If he flames out in WWE, he'll quietly go back to NOAH or another promotion if NOAH falls apart.

I was wondering what they'd do with the guys whose signings they made a big deal about. Like, it seems weird to announce that you've signed Fergal Devitt and then have him show up in NXT as Mickey O'Malley.

Well, that was an episode of Raw.

RVD and Jericho ARE RIGHT THERE. The rest of this year are mainly throw away shows. So why not sure them to write out Jericho and RVD? WWE should give them both title shots and have Lesnar go SS14 on them.

man Rollins came scary close to getting impaled by the steel cage on live tv

HHH on Twitter posted a picture of himself in front of a monitor at Raw pointing to Zayn and Neville. Still trying to wrap my head around the internet's #1 enemy for a decade now being the savior responsible for guys like Generico, PAC, Kenta, Moxley, Black, and Steen getting opportunities. Interesting times.

Well it helps that he made the developmental system his legacy defining project. I honestly doubt they'd give most of those guys a shot otherwise.

So basically, the point is still that HHH is behind recruiting and giving these guys a shot.

On the NXT match, it was pretty good, but like usual Neville dragged everyone else down. He's only good as a spot machine, and even there he's far behind the others in that match.

They really should have given the NXT guys entrances. They did a pretty decent job putting them over otherwise.

I actually thought he was the best part of this match. It needed to be a spotfest to grab the crowd.

How did he drag the others down? All he had to do was hit his spots, and he did, cleanly.

Yeah it's unfair to criticize Neville for that match. He was only in there for a minute or two. But going forward I don't know how he'll fare on the main roster because he hasn't adapted to the WWE style very well. He seems like a guy who should only have short spotfests unless he's up against a Cesaro or a Sheamus, but they'll probably have him work from underneath a lot.

He hit his spots like a robot, with no meaning or emotion behind them. And at the end of the day outside of the Red Arrow his spots aren't that impressive.

Like I said on Twitter last night...that NXT match layout was the perfect example of the battle going on between the old WWE guard and the new WWE guard and how they are treating NXT talent

The NXT guys were obviously not going to get a full-on slow build NXT style TV match on RAW. I thought they came away looking good for the style they had to work.

No idea where you are getting that from.

 

Solely based on the match layout last night it is obvious Neville is being called up and Breeze is winning the belt. The match was only about Neville standing out. WWE 101 booking is that Breeze loses on TV, wins on "PPV".

Giving credit to Triple H for the recruitment of those guys is super silly. Rob Naylor was the one for suggested PAC and El Generico. He pitched for Devitt and Kenta. Joey Mecury and William Regal are a massive part too.

The layout of working slow chinlocks in a match that should've been laid out as a sprint was the main thing that bugged me. Those guys had a small amount of time to work with and they should've all been able to get some shit in

I can understand that but this match genuinely had a different purpose.

 

I will acknowledge that my perspective was skewed going into the match as I know where NXT and NXT talent are heading next.

 

This month is really going to be eventful.
