Simmons was actually quite good there

 

 

"You put Cena over"

Hey Zach Ryder got a win on Raw, when is the last time that happened? I'm only barely watching Raw but that Ryback clothesline to The Miz made me happy.

 

He beat Fandango in a two-minute match in July, apparently. Next before that was the 11-on-3, which is what I assumed that it had to be.

 

Man if this is what it takes to get a legit Andre documentary then I'm all for it.

 

Given how awful the Von Erichs special that was talked about for years was, I won't too excited even if it did happen

 

 

Didn't watch it after learning it was only a short. Was it bad or just nothing that wasn't already covered in the WWE and the Heroes of World Class docs?

I guess I am not being fair because obviously it wasn't intended for just wrestling fans. I am sure most people who saw never heard of the Von Erichs so it was interesting to them.

Divas kicking out of finishers!!!

So Axel is the guy who is gonna get the yearly "out of nowhere" reaction at the RAW post-Mania?

Fucking Snoop Dogg

I love Brock as a character and as a wrestler, so much. Resign him. Turn him face and give me Brock vs. Rusev.

That segment was so wacked but so fun

I fucking loved it, as someone who enjoys the absurdity of wrestling. Snoop looked legit thrilled when Hogan's music hit.

That's at least the fifth time tonight that JBL has said "why would you pay $65 for a PPV when you can get the WWE Network for $10!?" -- Isn't the WWE Network still limited in the areas where it is available? Why tell people they're dumb if they want to buy the PPV? Wouldn't WWE, from a business perspective, want people to pay more?

I really, really, reaaally hope they don't fuck Rusev up after he jobs on Sunday. He can recover from a loss but booking is so bad right now that who knows what's gonna happen to him

At this point I think they just want more people paying for the Network so they can announce a big number the day after Mania and see the stock price raise.

Well that certainly points to Cena going over at Mania. Rusev is awesome

Rusev is the man. Nobody else is even close.

Missed the first half hour. Steph burying Sting sounds bad, but I've liked every other segment thus far. Even booking Orton in a three-on-one match as his sought-after reward (?) almost makes sense from a kayfabe perspective: Orton's so badass that he actually likes those odds, so as to punt three birds with one stone.

 

Brock's video, Snoop's joy, Simmons making the jobber ten-man into something, Rusev/Swagger/Cena, and the tag match all advanced stories, in that "set the bar low" kind of way. Paige-Nikki was solid, even with that finish. Thought Axelmania was the good kind of dumb: first time in ages that I've LOLed watching RAW.

As great as Rusev is, the opposite is true of Bray Wyatt.

I feel like Bray Wyatt would make a stronger case if he would just say that he's going to end The Undertaker's career at Wrestlemania. Trying to talk in riddles & metaphors & whatnot... he's just too damn long-winded & people lose interest in what he's saying.

I actually thought that was a good promo. At least his rambling makes more sense considering he's facing Taker.

Wow, they are really throwing away Taker's match this year. Cole cut away from that promo like it was an Ascension match. Would not be surprised to see Taker beat Bray in under 10 minutes, just to get him out of there without injuring himself and rebuild toward retirement at Cowboys Stadium.

KrisZ actually brought up an awesome point where Rusev could retain, Brock could retain, but you build to Reigns/Rusev probably at SummerSlam where Reigns winning actually means something. Of course, Cena winning the belt is looking like what will happen because he'll still draw if they're trying to make the U.S. title mean something again. But what do you do with Rusev now?

I said this on Twitter as well. Nothing puts over a promo like Cole immediately dismissing it to shill a phone app.

That HOF video was pretty great. Nash was pretty freakin awesome in 94 and parts of 95 (well more 94 until his tweener run)

I thought that was the best Bray Wyatt promo in ages

Looks like we are in for another massive overrun tonight
