Reminder for those who have trouble making decisions:
Don't watch Raw if you don't like WWE's current direction

So, basically they couldn't have Taker lose to Shane but they needed to find a way for Shane to still take over Raw.
This is dumb.

Shawn Michaels on Vince Russo's The Brand podcast last Friday...
Might I supplement this by saying, "Don't subscribe to the WWE Network unless you want your money to effectively endorse the creative direction of the current on-screen product."

Ugh, that's the worst part. The main show isn't even on the damn network, and I'm still implicitly endorsing Raw by watching NXT and the GCS.
omg that is terrifying

There is one thing I don't understand about the people who rage quit over Roman Reigns.
If they watched through over a decade of Cena, is Roman any worse?
Sure, there if no brand split so that you can watch another main product show, but is Roman seriously that much worse than Cena?

So... did anything at wrestlemania matter?
I guess it wrote Triple H off TV for a bit?

Happy Monday, friends!
So I went to a Wisconsin Pro Wrestling event this weekend and it was actually more entertaining than I was expecting. Some solid matches by indie wrestling standards. Not much on the way of IndyFlippyShit.gif. I even marked out for two of the matches (after a little beer, as well). Fun time, would go again, fifteen bucks well spent.
Also saw Hardcore Henry this weekend and it's undeniably a video game turned into a movie. I actually loved the shit out of it.

I think Raw will go like this tonight.
Shane's shows up, does his promo he's in control
Crew's second match vs Jobber
Enzo and Cass first match vs Jobbers, Then Dudleys interfere
Women's Segment with Natalya and Charlotte
Miz shows up with Maryse promo or match, then Zack shows up wanting another rematch
Roman appears to confront number 1 contender AJ styles but Y2J shows up to interfere wanting Another Match with AJ. "I beat you at Wrestlemania" promo. Shane shows up and announce main event to be AJ vs Y2J for new number 1 contender.
KO vs Sami segment further feud
Cesaro's second match back.
mid-cards we don't care (included a Ziggler and Coban segment)
Main Event:
Roman appears first to do commentary with Cole, JBL and Saxton does his new "heelish" attitude on commentary.
AJ vs Y2J is good match like Wrestlemania. AJ wins again.
AJ vs Roman for Payback is official.

People hoped that after a decade of not being listened to, this next decade would be different. Now they know it's not.

At least NXT Takeover Dallas wasn't pointless. It gave us Nakamura vs. Zayn.

We tried to warn you, but noooo. "Not that bad a Mania"
If this had been a Raw, you all would have called it the worst in years, and it wouldn't even be close. This was the worst Mania since WCW was alive, and it's not even close.

Indie shows can be crap but are fun in person. Can't lose. Good times.
They're trying to make you think they're listening, at least.

I kinda feel bad for TNA. But not that bad because they had a open goal for a decade to make a name for themselves and the name they made was "the people that make WWE look good".
Now with NXT, LU and the growing indie and japan streaming market the market they had has been eaten away by better companies.

I like that official company word on the ever-dwindling viewership went from "lol" to "YOU'LL BE BACK" to now

Matches that were also pointless...
January 1993 Raw: Loser Leaves Town Mr Perfect vs Ric Flair. Flair lost, but he still came back to wrestle.
Wrestlemania 7: Retirement match Ultimate Warrior vs Randy Savage. Savage lost, but wrestled again - becoming champion the folllowing year
Fully Loaded 1999: Austin vs Taker. If Taker loses, Vince McMahon will be banned from TV. Taker lost, and.. yeah. Vince came back, lol.
Money in the Bank 2011, Cena loses, he's fired - Cena lost, and yeah, he wasn't fired.
Meaning.. speculations never amount to anything.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I'm going to raw and the advertised main event is a tag match with AJ and Ambrose vs. Owens and Jericho. I'm gonna laugh it's the exact same thing as SmackDown.

I think they will last a couple of years before closing up for good.
Yeah, if I was watching this on TV or something and wasn't in the crowd for this I probably would have been less entertained than I was. Being part of the crowd makes it an entirely different experience. Speaking of the crowd, the show had a pretty good turn out. Probably had 200-300 people there for it (small venue) and the owner wasnt actually expecting many people to show up.

I went to the Raw after Fastlane, and the advertised tag team main event never happened.
So we all wasted 6.5 hours of our lives for absolutely nothing?lol and nothing will change

There's no way you didn't realize this by the time the camera was going out of its way to not show the crowd by cutting to Reigns and then cutting to fireworks back and forth for half a minute

Ugh, terrible news for me and the NXT show in Tulsa. About a month ago I made plans with the missus to see that shitty Cap America movie in some shit and it happens to be on sat the 7th at 10pm. Fuck. Could see the first half of the show, and maybe a little more, but this is breaking my heart. I don't want Cap in my America, I want Nak America.
If the result of this match is the entire reason you were watching wrestlemania you should not have watched wrestlemania

Two indie guys? That's no Mania match.
They didn't even give us Punk/Bryan at Mania or Summerslam. They did it at whatever show was after Extreme Rules at the time.

They play the Captain America movie like 20 times a day
I don't get how it's possible to ruin that match since Owens and Zayn have been fighting constantly for like a decade. In fact that was the first thing Owens did in NXT and hell I think it was the only fued he had before getting called up.

Excited for more Sami and Owens. Poor Cesaro gets tossed around in "good" matches, but probably doesnt get a storyline.
But where is the New Day?
And Ambrose? He is set to feud with Jericho.
Edit: Oh right, "mid-cards we don't care [about]"
