October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772140 I really am liking this new angry Bo Dallas. It made his match with Neville a lot more enjoyable than it otherwise would have been, and I am happy that he won actually. Also it only went one segment which in the current WWE environment I feel can actually be a plus. Both the Jericho/Rollins match and the Big E/Sheamus match went two segments, and I don't feel either match really needed it. Especially not the Big E/Sheamus match as that one was essentially setting up a storyline about Facebook, and the match just felt like it was wasting time up until the finish.
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772141 "This was specifically something I had in mind for wrestling Brock" sigh.... Big E vs Sheamus seemed good, from what my shaky stream would let me see.
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772148 Wow are they really trying to de-value Bayley in the effort of putting over Dana Brooke. No idea what Triple H sees in Dana because it seems like everything she learned in NXT evaporated. Unless Neville is going to be in the cruiserweight division like Sin Cara, he has no future on RAW Oh god no are they booking Sami Zayn vs Braun Strowman now.
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772151 Oh god no are they booking Sami Zayn vs Braun Strowman now. Oh god no they are booking a guy who has been doing absolutely nothing in a match that will make him look like the underdog babyface he should be instead of just some dude cosplaying as a Japanese wrestler like his matches with Kevin Owens!
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772153 This video of Daniel Bryan is so depressing: The fact that Bryan vs. Lesnar never happened is incredibly disappointing.
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772163 Wreddit is usually garbage, but I found this there: From what I glean from twitter, he cut a good promo. But still.

You seem to have been exceptionally bitter lately. I hope everything is alright, homie!
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772177 They did a really good job with the video packages all throughout the show to tell people even if you never saw WCW this Goldberg guy is a big deal. He cut probably the best promo of his career, and it helped that he seemed caught off guard at how big a reaction he got.
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772185 Rusev looks more like Attila, the bad guy from Jean Claude Van Damme's "Lionheart" every time I see him. Now he's grown in the mutton chops!

No idea what Triple H sees in Dana because it seems like everything she learned in NXT evaporated. Dana also botched the finish of the match. She was supposed to win with her feet on the ropes, but she was too far away to make it happen. Pretty interesting that 3 former NXT champions jobbed back-to-back tonight on what is supposedly HHH's show.
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772197 Goldberg cut the best promo of the show by far last night and was really made to look like a big deal. Not to take anything away from his own performance, but it should be so obvious that giving stars credibility and allowing them to speak with sincerity will get them over but WWE doesn't learn this lesson for anyone on the regular roster.
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772201 No idea what Triple H sees in Dana Fitness model. Muscles. Meet the new boss...
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772219 Looks like Charlotte and Sasha will indeed be main eventing Hell in a Cell. Mick Foley with Mick Foley.1 hr ·CHILLSForget for a moment about Stephanie McMahon's jumping high-five or my awkward attempt to hug the #RAW Comissioner. The biggest moment of the night for us came when the #WWE cameras were off, and Stephanie and I just looked at the #HIAC poster, realizing that for #WomensWrestling, history is upon us - as Sasha Banks and Charlotte will main event the #HIAC PPV. I am so happy for Sasha, for Charlotte, for all the women who paved the way, and all those who aspire to follow in their footsteps. It is no exaggeration to say that looking at that poster gave me chills...and they were multiplying. https://www.facebook.com/RealMickFoley/photos/a.150133228350157.28288.126269440736536/1440544925975641/?type=3 (includes picture)

October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772244 People should chant "Member Berries" at Goldy & Lesnar. That would be quite funny.
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772245 The build up to this should've been fleshed out more. Their feud hasn't warranted HIAC yet. If this was the plan, they should've had Dana cost Sasha the title match at the Raw in LA which gives them a reason to book HIAC to keep her out. The heat for this match would be ten times bigger if Sasha was coming into her hometown as Challenger. This has been thrown together haphazardly cause WWE seems to be banking on the Women's Revolution PR instead of letting it play out through a well thought out storyline. I hate that this will be more material for higher ups to use for their conference presentations instead of actually making stars. Both of them should be made as top stars after this but I have a fear they won't. There's a reason why Goldberg walked in last night and became the number one babyface in the promotion.
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772258 It's going to be so weird to watch the internet continue to act like the audience doesn't remember Goldberg as this feud goes on. It's like people want to dislike this so bad and won't even consider the possibility that there's a a really good chance they'll have a fun brawl full of plunder at the PPV.

Maybe they'll curb their self-indulgence and not hug in the middle of the ring after the match. Sasha just took time off for a back injury, and she's managed to cut back the excess bumping since then. I wonder if being in a main event gimmick match will resurrect her bad habits.
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772271 UPDATE: Foley edited his statement. * Mick's note: I have no idea which match will go on last, or which match will go down in history as being the official main event. The Universal Championship match between Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins is shaping up to be something special, and I am sure both men will be doing their best to steal the show – which is as it should be. In the end, the main event is whatever each fan decides it is.
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772285 Mick's right. Based on fan response, the fans sometimes decide a woman flashing her chest in Section 137B is the main event - which is as it should be?
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772292 Can women blink in WWE without it turning into some self-congratulatory fake "moment"? It's definitely a big deal, but the magnitude of it can speak for itself. They don't have to hammer us with it.
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772293 I don't think they can help it. Half of it is Vince wanting to make Steph seem like a trailblazer and half seems to be them trying to prove to sponsors they don't treat women as shitty as they did in the Attitude era.
