goodbye friend, goodbye everyone
Thanks for the call out for whatever reason but the crowd was bad and so was the thing is with Cena. This Raw was bad but I will join the rest saying something sucks when it doesn't.

Someone should gif those three finishers given to the Wyatts.

Crap. I managed to sleep through most of Raw but unfortunately woke up for this garbage.
He'll damn sure try, I'm sure.
The thing is he didnt make Bray look good.

Golly gosh, I wonder why the Double Yew Double Yew Eee Network has been performing as well as Giant Gonzalez and Great Khali in a midget on a pole match.
None. They essentially just told Jericho that he's not worth shit either with this move. Had em buried on fucking RAW. And less than two weeks after he beat Chris. Just wow...
Cena is just going to beat him for the title once Reigns flops in merch, ratings, and buyrates.

You people always overreact. They needed to do that to build Cena back up so Cena/Lesnar II will look like an actually interesting match and not just a BS repeat of the SummerSlam match.
To give Cena the rub by proxy. They needed to build Bray back up a bit so Cena looks better when he wins again.

I won't the show was bad but I know you still complain about everything though.

Yes, so why not have him utterly bury 3 great (well, 2 great and 1 decent) young talents in one go, right?
They didn't win, so no.

I'm just taking the piss, as our good UK friends might say
Anaheim really let me down this time! Time for Ontario (california) to get a shot at RAW
He's been the invincible god face of the WWE for TEN YEARS. He could be pinned by Hornswoggle in 18 seconds on Superstars and not need "building back up".
There we go, 3 plots ready.
Thanks Doink.

I don't think the issue was in the idea. It was who was chosen as the "sacrificial lambs" so to speak. Didn't have to be a guy Cena just got done doing damage to and just got a big win for the first time since January a few weeks ago.

lolxforever if at this point you still don't think Flair's record is numbered. There's no way Cena doesn't get at least 1 more reign (I'm thinking at least 2).
Man you got to be a miserable guy or fail at life to hog up a spot for so long. Even hogan tried to put over wrestlers like the wall and kidman...sure he won but atleast they could fucking pitch him and hogan made them look threatening.
The one thing that bothers me the most about tonights raw is the fact that cena got mauled to death on summerslam, yet they sweeping it under the rug like hey you win some you lose some.
That's like undertaker losing the streak and coming back the raw after doing commentary during a kofi kingston match...wtf SELL THE MATCH.

Because it's a meaningless RAW match in the scheme of things. Plus, Bray has been cutting boring promos saying the same ole' shit for months, ala Cena.
Heels exist to put faces over. That's wrestling. John Cena - Brock Lesnar II is more important than The Wyatt's. Period.
So who's your most over guy to feed to Cena next? Because Brock is your top of the food chain. Bray was the second most over guy since Punk and Bryan are gone.
Predictions: Cena pins Brock because REDEMPTION. Seth comes out and
WWE goes to record low ratings when Cena is forced to retire due to injuries or getting an acting career because they built their entire company around putting one man over, and said man couldn't go out of his way to put other people over. (You say no wrestler does that, but I hope you realize Bret Hart went out of his way to put over Stone Cold. He didn't do it because Vince wanted him to)
And no one learns anything.

Thought you were using the crowd as the scapegoat.
It we apply WWE logic to the NFL then the Packers are really the champs due to the dirty finish of the Seattle Screwjob

Yeah I actually like what they did but it shouldn't have been Bray. Should've done it with Orton.

Dean Ambrose returns as a heel. Cena feud. Jon Moxley becomes the new CZW Heavyweight Champion.

Who are three heels who aren't complete jobbers you wouldn't have complained about? And you can't choose Randy Orton because has to put over Reigns again.
and
And of course Ambrose would be turned heel because he might be threatening John's top spot if he's a face.
Kane.
Yeah because one fucking match at a minor PPV is somehow so important that it justifies wrecking a guy who could have been a top heel for the next 10 years.
And why do you think there aren't any other heels that aren't complete jobbers?
Dick Justice

Because that attitude has served them so well. Look at the abundance of stars they have filling the roster righ- oh wait.
Also cutting boring promos is not a reason to destroy a character. Not to mention Bray's promos are infinitely more bearable than Cena's shit.

Cena beating down Orton and Rybaxel in the same way would have been fine. The Wyatts, especially Bray, have had too much damage done to them already. Orton is essentially Teflon at this point and Rybaxel look impressive enough to matter and not need to win. Cena didn't need to beat down "non-jobbers". The point was is what he did, not the level of competition he was doing it to.

Wait, I thought Kane wasn't a threat because Cena's beat him so many times? At least, that's what I read the last time Cena faced Kane in a match.
OK, though. That's one. Now, name me two more heels.
Well, it ain't the Wyatt Family after that match, dude.

What are you talking about? If anything they have been selling the match. Even Cena came out and said that there was no way to spin it.

Why show and Henry instead of the usos
With Brock on it not a minor PPv anymore.
You can say that about every heel in the company except for Brock. That's pretty much why people are complaining.
We're already getting set for Vince's "protect Cena" revisionist history. Just like how they swept Bryan beating Cena under the rug
Kane (in 2014, lol) is basically a cutscene JRPG boss who terrorized D Bry but then when you got back to the game you realize you're thirty levels higher with the best gear and he does single digit damage and dies in one full round of combat.
In those cutscenes though he is dropping planets on D Bry.
Kane's job (in 2014) is to take massive l's without making anyone look bad. Everyone knows this though and because of that he doesn't make anyone look GOOD for beating him unless they put on quite the show.

What if the ratings are up from last week?
