Which he lost.
That's usually how pro wrestling works. Someone loses.

Exactly, you beat someone with more credentials than your regular fake wrestler when you beat Miz. You beat a damn real Awesome star with a wife who's a model and self made. That's going to be one lucky kid.

It's still early for all three girls. Lots of time friend. She could have a decent run with the title at some point for all we know.

Zack has shown in the weeks since he came back to RAW more charisma then everbody in the ladder match has in the last 6 months.
Dude! Beach Blast!

Ratings dont matter now tho.
Oh thank god! Thank you, friend Heel and friend Zach
Hey, what I said was true too!
Hey now, he doesn't have to go. As I've said, he doesn't need to be in the upper-card, but just popped back into the midcard for IC Title feuds. Heck, have a bunch of midcard guys get semi-regular spots now and then.
Stage 3: Bargaining.
You are in for some bad times. That's one of the few PPVs I actually remember. That's how bad it is.

What a shame, that Main Event was lit
He has to be around to demand it first.
Although I guess technically Reigns never used his rematch clause when he lost the title. Which is good, because the rematch clause is the laziest booking there is.

Oh I haven't forgotten. I was just checking some of the cards out and was too intrigued not to check out a) how fucked Vader/Hogan could be and b) what the fuck a lifeguard match is.
well, shit.

Fuck, he was one of the few TNA guys I liked.
Plus a month or two of feuding with Zack will give them some time to see how they feel about Apollo Crews as a main roster talent.

I love the assumption we're all making that Bullet Club is going to happen in the E. I can't wait to be massively let down in how it plays out. League of Bullet Club
Maywaether? Hmmmm

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I think that's where you're confused. It's not meant to do anything, hence why Miz has it.

The No Fun Allowed club were finally right.
They chanted over most of Charlotte's admittedly dodgy speech for Bayley
Not really a trainwreck the person who should of won it didn't, which is like whatever . Then Charlotte cuts a face like promo when she is a heel, so it was kinda weird.
In 1997 WWF, the one thing that kind of sticks out to me is Doug Furnas and Phil Lefon. I don't remember them at all, yet they're getting a bigger spotlight than most guys that I don't remember. They're getting on PPVs and getting tag title matches and such.
Wikipedia tells me they had a car accident which pretty much haulted any forward progress.
They just didn't seem to fit with the era though at all.

something something ratings don't matter something something you're still gonna tune in something something
Are we actually doing this or not? I feel like I've been hearing about the Avatar Rumble since November.

Seph is still planning on running it as far as I know.
Nah ah.....you do NOT get to besmirch the amazing goddess Becky Lynch by using the catch phrase of the Real G and Certified Stud.
No.

OK.
The way it was explained to me was they tried to do a shoot/real title presentation ceremony where everyone is faces but the crowd was having none of it.
They really still not committing to Charlotte as a heel? After 6 fucking months of her and Ric cheating to win? Sounds about right.

I mean they did and they didn't. She cut a complete, no irony face promo about the title and women, then did a 180 to a promo about herself and her dad, the Women walked out, and Nattie beat her up.
She's the Dean Ambrose of the 3, Sasha's SethKun, and Charlotte's Roman.
#BetterThanRoman
Yeah it was dumb booking she should of lost the belt a WM, then new belt with a face champion.
All of a sudden I don't hear the same chirping about Main Event rating drags that normally occurs when Reigns is in the Main Event. Funny how confirmation bias works.
(PS: 3 hours is too long for RAW, even if this was SCSA in his prime)
Honestly, considering that it was Opening Day for MLB and the NCAA Championship Game (with North Carolina and Villanova, two big audiences), those are pretty decent ratings for RAW. NCAA game drew 17.8 million viewers, with its viewership peak at 11:15 to 11:30 ET (aka during the overrun) of 22.3 million.
Honestly, RAW has until the final year of its current contract before it really needs to care about ratings. The broadcasting contract is locked in. They do need to worry about ratings some, but the focus should be the network until 2017/2018.
'Trainwreck' is a typical overreaction to a dodgy segment. Charlotte's mic skills are still questionable especially as she was told to deliver a face promo. If it wasn't a post-Mania crowd chanting for Bayley it wouldn't have stuck out anywhere near as much.
There's always something to excuse the plummeting of the ratings, isn't there?
It's all fun and games until you are watching Raw in SD on the TV Guide channel.
I guess Vince didn't hear the crowd booing her throughout the weekend just like he didn't hear the crowd booing Reigns. If they really wanted the crowd to take it seriously, they should've done it with Sasha.
