Yeah, the honeymoon's over for me, too. His feud with Seth Rollins was the character at its best. Seth being legit shook of him coming out of nowhere and kicking his ass, the MitB ooze prank, the Ice Bucket prank, all of that stuff was awesome. Now he's the annoying cousin from out of town that has clearly overstayed his welcome.

- Start date
Including the dark match and promo, was about 4 hours.
Before Raw started they showed us the Mania recap video again, the crowd was going WOO-WOO-WOO when they showed Ryder win the IC title. Thought they'd bring him out for a good pop. Then again if Emma wasn't in London he likely stayed with her.
He was in the dark match. Surprised he wasn't in a televised match though. Neither him or Roman and they're the main event of Payback.
Only for the live crowd.
I bet they're giving him some time off after that Del Rio botch on Smackdown.

I just remember him doing more Joker shit movements during matches. He was definitely in better shape about a year ago what the hell happened. He's currently what if Brooklyn Brawler started winning matches and put in angles, just not as technically good as Brawler. Roman Reigns drinking buddy.

Would an alternate path of Snidley Whiplash-esque over the top olde timey villainy be acceptable? I do agree that their main drawback is they don't seem to be particularly...villainous.
I love how WWE is adressing a clear message.
See that 10 years in the making Zayn/Owens feud you've wanted so much, those indy guys you cheer for.. Well we have a random Ambrose/Jericho feud without any story, that debuted 2 weeks ago, and they are clearly more important. Not only they'll end RAW, but both of them will beat you in single matchs tonight, after you both lost your matches last week already.
I'm not sure i can remember a feud, going to a ppv match, were both the guy have only loses weeks before it. That's next gen bad booking.
Honestly guys, find me a feud you remember where both guys feuding have no victory in the weeks before the ppv..

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The alternate is random 6 man tags.
Neither of these guys is being booked like preshow guys. Ambrose needs a win like 10 times more than KO does and Zayn absolutely should be losing.

I don't see that as a bad thing. At least he was on TV for the major storyline. They don't have to wrestle all the time and who was he going to wrestle against that would've made sense? The live crowd saw him wrestle for the dark main event so there's that.

Guys, lil niatch is showing age. 
It was really bad compared to last week, where matches had a point and made sense. This was random and filler matches for 3 hours.

Wait so Toby Keith wanted to buy TNA and actually revamp it from top to bottom and have JR there. Dayum!

Why would we possibly want that when we can instead watch Roman not wrestle and cut the same promo every week?

Why WWE afraid to have Rome come down from the crowd anymore?

I like JBL just shouts things that support the heels for no actual reason
People were throwing beer at him.
Plus he is pretty much a heel now, just one that they can put on the today show so the host can say "boy, you are tall"

Jericho is clearly loving being a heel again.
Undertaker was not going to job to Shane. The whole angle was a joke and if you believe that the finish was changed then you actually have common sense, something not required to understand the booking decisions of the dubdubyee. Undertaker will go out on his back either at summerslam or next years mania to probably put over some young and upcoming talent who needs the rub like Kane or the Big Show.

Dm this one is for you, Mr fiancée was doing my hair and she said,
"I think this would be better if it wasn't scripted. "
I'm thinking to myself, wtf are you talking about now. Then I catch onto what she's talking about abd I try my best not to laugh as I started to say," wait you mean a shoot?"
"Why do you say that. "
" Well I think it would be better if they just trained to become wrestlers get opponents then go out there and fight and they see who wins."
I'm still like what the fuck? So she says,
"Like Charlotte isn't she still in the top ranking?"
"Do you mean champion?"
"Yes, you see it would be better if it were real. People know it's fake because she's only champion due to her dad."
My mouth kinda dropped. This is someone who just started watching regularly last summer and she's caught on so fast.

I'm not laying down for anyone fuck that.I'll have Nocturnowl rip the church floor if some shit like that occurs.
Diesel had to say the same 3 lines back in 95
Give Roman a hair flip and the sidewalk slam. Then he too can continue to not be a draw.

Tyler Breeze needs to come out to this

I didn't watch any wrasslin today.
I, too, one day hope to see Tyler Breeze in a large enough role on WWE TV where they actually televise his entrance.

haha, god damn reigns/writers couldn't even come up with that.
anyways god damn was maryse sooo fine. miz with that goober face as she introduced him on miz tv too lmao, they are fantastic together. great (married) couple of heels.
sami/jericho was great. cesaro/miz and league/new day was fun
women's match sucked ass but that's what you get when charlotte is paired with such dead weight. man the talent disparity between both teams was hilarious. natty's team was all good workers.
would have liked to see aj go heel after the bullet club attacked roman but i guess he's staying face then huh.
