I seriously can't wait for Adam Rose on the main roster. That's one of those gimmicks that is just ready for the big time and Adam Rose isn't green as a performer either. He's had his time on NXT, just not his current persona.

Fandango better start peacocking his way to the top, the Adam Rose Experience will run him over.

Two down, one more to go.

I think all the non-wrestling women they hired for SDR to train up should be nearing being NXT TV ready, so the current crop (Paige, Emma, Bayley, Sasha, Charlotte, Summer) can all start going to the main roster; half of them already have.

It was nice to have a RAW with zero mention of Total Divas and no appearances by those vacuums of charisma.

Baley really looks like someone in that photo, and I cannot figure out who... I don't know if it is wrestling, tv show, porn industry, or personal acquaintance... but I saw someone like that before.

I need to figure this out. I hope it is personal acquaintance

Another great Raw Post-Mania.

Team HHH vs Team Bryan should be a great feud and will, at least, gives us some new matchups and some cool segments. The Shield is looking badass as always and I hope Bryan can show a little more of his serious side so he doesn't look out of place in that group. Still, I think it's going to be great. It has tons of potential.

I didn't like Paige debut that much, she was clearly nervous as hell but I hoped she could've been her badass self instead of the rookie that gets lucky against the champ. I thought she would end AJ with the scorpion death lock. A little wasted potential there.

Bryan's ovation at the start ("you deserve it" such a great crowd), Cesaro joining Heyman and Heyman/Lesnar amazing promo really made it a good show.

WWE is on a role, hopefully they'll keep it strong.

Look at Bjork, Bishoptl, and Ninja Scooter. They had their moments years ago, then stepped aside for the next wave of young stars to leave their mark.

And then there's you. Those three are legit OT Stars. In the OT, you're just some Batman fan.


You'll never reach Snowglobe Klig status again, DM.

For me, the sky's the limit, baby!

First off, you forgot Guzim. Dude's got more passion for this stuff than I probably ever did have. Second off, don't namedrop bjork like you know bjork.

Anyway, DM is the forum icon who can still go, I could see him among the final four in a wrasslegaf battle royal.

This crop of call-ups also should improve NXT, since that show's stars have been the same for a while now without any major debuts. Now there's room for Kalisto, Solomon Crowe, etc.

It's amazing the amount of talent that isn't even getting TV time on NXT. I mean Shaun Ricker still needs to make his debut as well, plus the possibility of having guys like Steen & Devitt on the roster soon.
 
Extreme Rules card looks hot.


HHH vs Bryan

Shield vs Batista Orton and Kane

Cena vs Wyatt

Paige vs AJ

Cesaro vs Swagger- should be good especially with a build up of Heyman vs Zeb


rvd Bork BNB Rusev and Usos need to get on the card. Hopefully they feed rvd to bork. Card might be better than mania

I want Devitt to debut on the main roster telling Sheamus what a sad excuse for an Irishman he is. Sucha silly guy with that troll hair. Then he goes on to destroy him. Perfect debut!
 
I said to my GF this Raw is gonna be extra special because not only is it the legendary after WM crowd but its a HAPPY after WM crowd.

For once they can just be happy, they got what they wanted, the cheers and chants are YES! YOU DESERVE IT! etc instead of the defiant/angry directed THIS IS WHAT WE WANT YOU IDIOTS ones.

And they did not disappoint. :)

Glorious.

In and out of the ring was all wonderful.

Glad was right about the Paige thing too. :D

WM has returned to its end of the story proper place and Raw afterwards is the start of the new season. For awhile there with Rock and Cena BS it just felt like the crap doesn't stop guys its just continual zzzzzzzzzz.

D-Bry is champ, stuff is happening all over the place, feels good man.

If WM and yesterday were any indication of what we get when HHH is running things, then he needs to just take over completely already.

It was awesome seeing Bad News Barrett being that over.

I hope that enthusiasm catches on with other crowds.
It won't.

I wonder how Sheamus will react to Adam Rose's fake Irish accent lol

I hope someone can replace Kane in there, maybe an oportunity to make Sandow relevant again as he is one of the few legit heels left (i.e, heel that doesn't get cheered for) I also think HHH vs Bryan had their moment in Mania, time to find a new villain, possibly Bork Laser. I like RVD, but I have no idea where he fits. Also Rusev, with Lesner there and Ryback kind of still existing somewhat, I wonder if there is room for another monster.

Shame Cody Rhodes has been lost in the dust .

But hey, we kind of have a solid midcard now.

Top is Bryan, Shield, Orton, Batista, Cena, Cesaro, Lesner.

Wyatt and company goes where the storyline needs him.

Mid is Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Fandango, Sheamus, Big E, Swagger, Ziggler.

Rusev, Adam Rose and Bo either squash the people below or lose hard fought battles against people above.

And the jobbers remain Rybaxel, the Miz, Sandow (*sigh*), Zack Ryder, people I am forgetting due to their jobness nature.

Really? That did not seem like a face promo. Curious to see more of him then.

Bo is going to get so much heat, it's going to be great.

If he's a heel it'll be like Fandango. Kind of a jerk but super catchy song and entrance that gets over immediately that's impossible not to sing along with.
 
Rebecca Knox / Becky Lynch is the next really interesting diva call up in my opinion. Hopefully she will get a place on NXT now, as the Diva roster will start to shrink a bit.

I'd like to have a main WWE roster member than a met and talked to once!

Yes, Knox is my most anticipated female debut on NXT, and it ought to be soon, given she's the most experienced of the women down there that haven't started wrestling on TV.

Don't think we see laser vs Bryan yet. Neither should be losing next month and not till summer slam at least if not next mania.

Hopefully for him he will sustain that overness. Not like Fandango.

I didn't like the video package but I'll give him a chance.

Bryan crying in the ring, Paige crying backstage, people crying after the streak ended, Andre crying in heaven because Swagger broke the trophy. All those feels, mang, all those feels.

Yeah, after I posted I thought that makes no sense in anyone who is not getting squashed enter the ring with Lesnar, he should be invincible now. And obviously, Bryan should retain this title a bunch of times.

She is a good heel too, which could work well in WWE. Most of the Diva heels these days are just "Bratty," and she can be more than that. Which should make for interesting storylines. She has history with Paige too, so they could work well together down the line.

Daizee Haze vs Rebecca Knox 2 out of 3 Falls is a great match if anyone wants to look at it. For some stupid crazy reason, it seems to uploaded to XVideos (porn site), even though it has nothing close to that involved in it, but it is a good 30 minute watch if you can go there.
