What book ends there....

Not only kick out, roll up 3 count holding the tights.
He would have been fired before he even made it back to Gorilla
Worth it.
Vince told the ref to call it as a shoot.
Erik Rowan gets that main event momentum after pinning the Rock at Wrestlemania.

So the Ambrose burial lands him to fighting Kalisto for the US title?
The Warrior Award should be named after him and Mick.
i feel like it's a good time to post this jiff
You damn right.
They even made the link between Cesaro and The Transporter on the Halloween edition with Ambrose - they need to fully embrace it.

People getting worked thinking Rowan had any issue with Rock and that booking? Lol
Terrible employees, all of you. Rowan gets paid and has a match with the Rock under his belt. Regardless of the outcome or how it went down he has that moment, which is great

It was good. I liked it.

Nah. We just wanted the fans to get worked by Rowan kicking out and hitting the Rock with a Steel Pipe ala Torreto

Couple other raw thoughts:
People wanting Reigns to go heel aren't realizing he's kind of there, especially after the "I'm the guy" comment
Also the whole "limited move set" argument for reigns is moot. So many guys who are "over" only do so many moves
Reigns acknowledging the boos was perfect
Jericho telling the crowd to shut up and that he wont let them derail the show was great
The crowd ruined the entire womans title segment. It was a bit awkward to begin with, but Charolette was trying to set up to a moment there and they just ruined it.
A few times you could see people laughing at the crowd.

Absolutely, and she is a fantastic heel.

Glad to see Cesaro back. Also waiting for Orton to come back and feast on Reigns

Look at Bob Backlund, a guy who was planets better and more popular than Diesel, look at how his last match went. Zero problem with it. Wrestling is a job.
Crowd was pretty shitty during the women's belt thing, but it was also insanely awkward with Charlotte giving a face speech when she's a heel. It wasn't all the crowd's fault.
I'm not so sure about that part
While I agree the Women's segment was killed by fans, a decent heel (or face) on the mic could have used it.
Heel "Bayley is too busy losing in NXT while I am winning Wrestlemania"
Instead, she froze.

Cesaro should take 2 more months off to get back in shape.
I was waiting for her to do this. Easy softball. She let her real emotions get in the way of an opportunity for some mega heat.
FAT ASS

Backlund is on a whole higher level than fuckin' DIESEL. Not at the time, of course, his gimmick was a weird old dude. Backlund is infinitely better than Diesel in every way.

There was a big set up there and when she tried to get to the payoff just fumbled it. She should have used it to her leverage a lot and really worked it, but I don't think the promo was allowing for it. Then again, it kind of also shows how much their on script.
Another thought:
So happy to see a "classic" backstage segment like we saw with Owens/Zayn
JBL ripping on him about his Superman shirt was pretty good.

he's got a bit of a belly! I wanna see Cesaro as the way he was before.

Lol, aye.
I feel odd about Bray turning face. Like, it should've happened years ago and it's weird to waste it on the League of Nations.
On the other hand, goddamn does being a face feel right for him. Had the entire arena doing his chant. As long as they can keep up the momentum, he's got main-eventer written all over him.

Backlund was a guy that I just didn't -get- until I got older, watched more stuff than WWF, and explored more. Now that I get him, I appreciate him and recognize his worth. He's amazing.
I think she was legit emotional about the moment initially so that probably didn't help with her thinking about ad-libbing on the fly.

I noticed that as RAW was ending. Guy really took in the moment.
